Saturn and Mercury conjoined in Vedic Astrology

When Saturn and Mercury conjoin in a chart, it helps the person communicate in a patient and organized manner. The person tends to speak slowly and deliberately, and sometimes people may mistake this slowness for some lack of intelligence, but that is not the case. In fact, Saturn helps the person persevere and go much deeper in thought on any given subject. This conjunction makes the person quite intelligent, and they usually do very well in an academic setting. Their ability to shine academically is because there is a higher capacity for concentration. Saturn’s restrictive energy tends to help the intellect fine-tune and focus with laser-like ability.
This conjunction also makes the person a good writer, but Saturn will tend to make the person overthink things too much and cause writer’s block. Saturn is the perfectionist, and it wants everything concise, organized, and methodical. Instead of pouring out their ideas as they come to them, and writing nonstop, they analyze and scrutinize every idea and want to perfect their work as they go, rather than get the job done first and fix later.
This influence of Saturn on Mercury causes self-doubt in written or verbal communication. In speech, there may be a blockage in expressing ideas. The person is cautious and analytical in his or her use of language. They are usually very self-conscious and insecure about how they communicate information to others that people may misinterpret their actual depth of knowledge and intelligence that exists behind all that hesitation and restrictive communication-style.
If you have this conjunction in your horoscope, you may notice that this limitation which Saturn imposes on your communication-style tends to be more problematic in youth. However, as you get older, the self-doubt and awkwardness in communication begin to subside. You eventually get to experience the reward that comes from the hard work, ambition, and diligence that Saturn ultimately gives.

Yogi, Avayogi - Prosperity and Obstruction

What exactly are the planets which are called "Yogi, Avayogi, and Duplicate Yogi?" In Vedic Astrology these are actually very important planets you should know about. Without knowing this, you miss out on very important and accurate predictions in your readings.  So let's get to the core of the matter right away. These are their definitions: Yogi: This is the planet which gives rise to prosperity in the best way it can. Avayogi: This is the planet which obstructs prosperity in the best way it can. Duplicate Yogi: This is the planet which supports prosperity, although to a lesser degree than the Yogi. Now that you know what these planets represent, how to analyze them in your chart? The easiest way to begin is to see what Dasa/Bhukti you are running. Are you running the Dasa or Bhukti of either the Yogi, Avayogi, or Duplicate Yogi? That is the most direct way. If you are not running the Dasa or Bhukti, check to see if the Dasa/Bh...

Mesha (Aries) Personality Traits

Mesha is a fire sign ruled by the planet Mars. It is the first sign of the zodiac, which is symbolically related to the first house of Vedic Astrology, a Dharma house (Read The Four Aims of Life: The Purusharthas).  Thus, just like the other Dharma houses and signs, Mesha people feel they have a strong sense of purpose to fulfill in life. People with this sign strong in their charts will have a strong sense of self and individuality. They will want to be first in everything they do, so they tend to be very competitive. They have a lot of energy, strength, will-power, and strong desires. Mesha people love action and have a strong desire to help others less fortunate.  They like to have a story in life and be the hero of that story, and one of the ways of doing this is through fighting for the underdog.  Mesha loves getting involved in causes and helping the oppressed in one way or another.  This involvement is their noble way of coming to the rescue and being chi...

How are Divisional Charts Used in Vedic Astrology? Jackie Kennedy's Chart

There is a lot of contradiction on how divisional charts are used in Jyotish.  Some astrologers only look at the sign a planet is placed in.  They then look at the lord of that sign and see if it is strong or weak in the Rasi chart.  However, they claim that Yogas and Aspects are not to be used in divisional charts. This is one section that I strongly disagree with.  And I abide by my teacher, James Kelleher, in the way he uses divisional charts. A divisional chart should be read exactly like a birth chart, but in relation to the particular chart you are looking at.  So if you are looking a the Navamsha, it stands for spouse.  If you are looking at the D-7 chart, it stands for children.  If you are looking at the D-10 chart it stands for career.  So the particular Yoga in the chart will focus in on only that area of your life. Let us take an example at why we analyze a divisional chart just as we analyze a Rasi chart, including Yogas and asp...
