A Detailed Analysis of Saptamsa : An Example

Hi

Writing is a creative activity. And Jupiter, the Moon, Mercury and Venus deal with writing. Let's analyse my Saptamsa with regards to these four planets and secondarily other planets as well if applicable.

I hereby reproduce my birth data again from another thread as well as list down my planetary placements for those without a software to construct the chart.

I was born in Singapore [1 degree 17 minutes North; 103 degrees 51 minutes East] at 8:32 am on 22nd June 1962. The timezone at that time for Singapore is 7 hours 30 minutes East of Graeenwich rather than the current 8 hours which we adjusted in 1983 to synchronize the timing with Hong Kong, Perth, Shanghai and Kuala Lumpur.

My placements in Saptamsa are as follows (with a Capricorn Lagna) :

Body Longitude (in D-7)

Lagna 29 Cp 12' 30.92"
Sun - MK 17 Cn 44' 39.79"
Moon - PiK 15 Cp 04' 17.33"
Mars - BK 20 Vi 56' 44.80"
Mercury - GK 11 Pi 34' 36.36"
Jupiter - PK 14 Ge 19' 19.94"
Venus - AmK 26 Pi 30' 30.86"
Saturn (R) - DK 1 Sc 10' 32.89"
Rahu - AK 3 Ta 00' 49.87"
Ketu 3 Sc 00' 49.87"

The first thing I want to highlight is that the Moon - a planet dealing with ideas and the mind - is in the 1st house gaining full sight of the opposite 7th house that it rules. The Moon deals with the imagination although its ideas are not strictly original although the originality comes from mixing and matching the impressions it gets. That is why writers of imaginative fiction normally has a strong Moon. Moon being in the Ascendant means my mind is attuned and creative to writing activities.

It rules the 7th House where the Sun is which is ruler of the 8th (the occult). I love to write on occult matters.

The Moon is disposited by Saturn in Scorpio in the 11th together with Ketu. Saturn a trinal lord is well disposited by Ketu (a planet dealing with the occult) in the 11th house in Scorpio. 11th house takes care of planets within it, so Saturn and Ketu flourishes. Saturn also rules the 2nd which deals with reading. I constantly read on occult matters (Saturn conjunct Ketu in Scorpio)

Rahu in the 5th in Taurus is well placed. It rules Taurus and Virgo so it is a trinal lord. Making a trinal aspect to the Moon means that everytime I have an idea (the Moon), I would have to get it off my chest through writing (Rahu rules obsession) - although in the context of other posts, the Moon also needs to get off its chest on things by doing something creative and not just writing.

Venus is in its deep exaltation in Pisces with Mercury also quite close to its deep fall in the third house dealing with information. Mercury gets Neecha Bhaga Yoga and gets mutual reception with Jupiter in Gemini in the 6th. All three planetary placements testify to their strength. Venus is good for writing in lovely prose (something pleasing for readers to read), Mercury writes about ideas and Jupiter lends its writing output with some quality.

(In fact in the pantheon of planets dealing with writing, Jupiter ranks first, Moon ranks second, Mercury ranks third and Venus ranks fourth).

Jupiter being in the 6th is 4th to the third meaning the seat of the throne for the 3rd dealing in writing. It thus enhances the 3rd, not just becasue it is Jupiter but also it is the 4th to the 3rd.

Mars disposits 11th where Saturn and Ketu is as well as the fourth and is placed in the 9th. That is a good placement. Firstly the 4th to Lagna deals with basic education. 11th to the Lagna deals with gains. My basic education enables me to get a good foundation of the English Language and as the years go by (11th deals with effects as one ages) my command of the language improves. It enables me to write with a style that is more than just a marshalling of facts (the 3rd) but enables the audience to gain a deeper insight of things (the 9th).

Mar is disposited by Mercury in the 3rd and hence Mars is also linked to the three planets of writing described earlier : Mercury, Venus and Jupiter.

9th house dealing with philosophy shows that my sentence structure has some philosophical style imprinted on it and not just using conventional simple sentence structures.
