Dear Group Members:

 

Here is the basic data 7/30/1950 12:46 EDT Cleveland, Ohio

Virgo rising/ ketu and neptune in the first house

mars in the 2nd house (libra)

jupiter and moon in the 6th in aquarius

Rahu in the 7th in Pisces

Venus in the 10th house(gemini)

Sun in the 11 house (and pluto too) in Cancer

mercury and saturn in the 12th house (leo)

 

I began studying western astrology formally in 1972. Had been

working for some people as a nanny-one of their good friends was an

astrologer. When my employer/friend decided that she wanted to

learn astrology, the astrologer suggested that she start with my

chart. My employer worked out a basic chart and handed it to the

astrologer-who then responded by simply looking at the rising

sign " No, recalculate...that would not be Laura's correct rising

sign " ... The astrologer was correct and I was hooked for life!!!

 

I studied art history for many years...got a degree and then

attended graduate school in two different programs in art history.

However, I always worked in hospitals/institutions/medical areas

while I was in school. In 1977 I switched progams and entered the

School of Social Welfare at the university of kansas. Got an MSW in

1980. Since then I have worked either in hospice or the mental

health fields. in terms of the vedic chart, I guess that venus in

the 10th would point to art and the moon/jupiter in the 6th-

medical/helping field. Also the ruler of the chart is in the

12th...institutions.

 

After discovering the Vedic tradition I had my chart done by two

different vedic astrologers. It was unnerving how accurate and more

specific the vedic was in comparison to the western. Slowly have

been trying to learn that system.

 

just an interesting note: In august I was reading the various posts

on the different lists and noticed that Jupiter and Ketu would make

a conjunction in my first house. I thought about it and wondered

what that might possibly mean...on august 20th I experienced a

cerebral hemorrhage (neptune is 21 degrees of Virgo natally). It

was certainly 'neptunian " in nature!! I had incredible care at the

hospital but no one can really figure out why this happened in a

medical sense...no hypertension. in fact, people would say " she is

the healthiest person I know! " . Things are better every day. But

being an intellectual type(more or less), it has really made me

refocus on more mundane issues. I did not have any fabulous

mystical experiences (darn)...but do remember thinking " I wonder if

they will have to shave my head in a punk style or the more Bruce

Willis look? " Now that really is mundane!!

 

There is my story...not much else to tell. I have three large dogs

and do alot with the local kennel club-am one of the local people

who do " Siberian Husky Rescue " . I also have a son, age 25. And my

chart definitely fits my life.
