Constellations. A fourteen weeks course in descriptive astronomy. 1870.

hey! I hope you all are well! This is my first vedic astrology post on this account.

We will try to keep it neat and to the point, since analyzing any single chart in vedic systems can be tedious and complicated, both, and we want to wrap this post tightly without confusing anyone! PS: the conjunctions, planets on the Asc/aspecting it, the trikona signs to 10th, the rasi chart and a lot of other things together combine give a rather accurate description of your career direction. This is going to be generalized since this is a post that is trying to cater to a lot of people.

PS: for this post, we will need to see the ruler of your rasi chart, into your d10 chart. So say, you are a Leo rising in your sidereal natal chart, so look for where sun is placed in your d10 chart!

for those of you who are finding this difficult, here is a post I have created to explain this in detail!

this is one of the many techniques for analyzing d10, I hope I am able to write about all these in my blog in the upcoming weeks!

★the ascendant of your rasi chart in 1st house of your d10 chart: your work would be incredibly important, and you would very likely get recognition for it, in whatever greatest capacity available. Working in "face" of something, as a head, a leader. Creating your work, leading or innovating it. Your physical appearance or physical labour is likely involved in the path of your work. You'd always "know" or have a "calling" towards your path.

★the ascendant of your rasi chart in 2nd house of your d10 chart: Depending on what the planet is the ruler, and what the conjunctions are, this could be an artistic placement as well. Using your hands, your voice to create something. Money would be a source of motivation for your career aspirations, and depending on your chart, you'd likely incline towards a profession where you see wealth and stability. Starting a business perhaps, luxury, all these things would inspire you. If you have a strong and stable planet here, you'd generate extremely good income.

★the ascendant of your rasi chart in 3rd house of your d10 chart: your work would ask you to communicate your ideas, or perhaps you generate ideas and someone else executes it. A very strong indicator of having media influence on your work, or perhaps working in small teams as well. Siblings could inspire your path of career. Your mind and imagination would also be great assets and you may not enjoy monotonus work. Work may often require travelling around.

★the ascendant of your rasi chart in 4th house of your d10 chart: You would be emotionally connected to your work. Childhood aspirations. Your mother could influence or inspire your work as well! You may not enjoy going far away for your work, and may even perhaps dislike too much movement or travel. You would work intutively, being guided by how you're feeling for the most parts. Again artistic inclinations are possible.

★the ascendant of your rasi chart in 5th house of your d10 chart: Working around children is very likely in some shape or form. Maybe even perhaps working as a teacher or instructor of some kind. You would need a technical knowledge for your work as opposed to generic school learning, experience based work. A lot of learning comes from your profession, even beyond your personal life.

★the ascendant of your rasi chart in 6th house of your d10 chart: Your work would ask for your dedication, and depending on other factors, you would very likely show it, or will have to. You would have to be passionate, and you would pursue it with all you have. Your professional life would eventually transform you into someone so strong and someone who never backs down from what they really want. You'd move through setbacks, even without support especially if the planet here is strong.

★the ascendant of your rasi chart in 7th house of your d10 chart: Your work would extremely likely involve people, or atleast having relationships with them on a professional front. You may at times seek approval of others in your work, and would desire support and harmony around your choices you make in your professional life. Your professional front may see a change after your marriage. Your professional image would matter to you and something you likely curate.

★the ascendant of your rasi chart in 8th house of your d10 chart: Your work path may be inspired or be revealed to you after some kind of hardship you face in life, especially psychological. Interestingly, though this is a Dusthana house, I find a lot of potential here. Your career path reveals to your after a transformative period in your life, or you may transform through your career. You can build a legacy through your work. May enjoy working alone, or without letting someone take charge of something important or crucial.

★the ascendant of your rasi chart in 9th house of your d10 chart: This is a positive placement, you would learn from your career and your career may actually utilize your education and degree for the most parts, though some exceptions can exist if there are planets like moon or rahu ruling or aspecting 5th/9th in the rasi chart in my opinion. You may carry forward a legacy of your family, or really inspire yourself from someone who you consider your idol in some way. Very likely a spiritual/divine path that somehow feels fated or coincidental. Good fortune and happiness in your work, you enjoy it!

★the ascendant of your rasi chart in 10th house of your d10 chart: Your work defines you, and it would be extremely important to you that your work agrees with your personal values, since it will carry a reflection of you. You may desire being seen for your work in some shape or form, even if its going anonymous on the internet. Being workaholic or work-priortizing/hardworking is also there.

★the ascendant of your rasi chart in 11th house of your d10 chart: You attitude in life determines how much success you acheive in your career is something I have seen manifest with this placement. You would have a good idea of what you want to do, and would pursue it sooner or later. Again a solid indicator of requiring networks or being around people in your profession. Your career may be the way to fulfill your dreams in life. Again a tendency to priortize your career or derive your value from it. Can forget the existance of personal life or struggle to maintain a balance.

Lilith in synastry with the 12th house is one of the most enigmatic and difficult connections to understand on a rational level. This placement goes far beyond attraction or unconscious tension—it opens a psychic gateway between two souls. Here, Lilith’s raw, primal energy merges with the deep, mysterious waters of the 12th house, creating a fusion of desire, karma, and spiritual awakening. The Lilith person activates the hidden recesses of the house person’s unconscious mind, serving as a channel through which repressed memories, unresolved emotions, and even traces of past lives can surface. It’s not uncommon for both to experience déjà-vu, prophetic dreams, or a sense of telepathic connection, as if they meet and communicate on the astral plane.

In this synastry, Lilith’s influence is subtle but pervasive—she infiltrates the psyche of the house person, shaping thoughts, fantasies, and fears. The house person might feel that Lilith appears in their dreams or thoughts unexpectedly, as if bound by an invisible cord. This connection can awaken psychic or intuitive abilities such as heightened empathy, clairvoyance, or energetic sensitivity, yet it can also blur emotional boundaries if not handled consciously. Lilith feels drawn to the 12th house person’s mystery, their emotional depth and elusiveness. However, she may also grow frustrated by their distance, by the way they seem unreachable. This paradox intensifies Lilith’s desire to unravel the other’s hidden world, which can easily become obsessive.

A rarely discussed aspect of this synastry is the erotic or spiritual guilt that may emerge. The 12th house person might feel both desire and shame, as if loving or surrendering to Lilith were somehow forbidden. This is because Lilith represents repressed passion, and when she enters the 12th house, that passion intertwines with guilt, taboo, or unresolved trauma around emotional or sexual vulnerability. Often, there is an unconscious urge to “save” or “redeem” one another, creating a savior–victim dynamic or emotional dependency. If either partner carries wounds of abandonment or loss, this relationship can reopen them for healing—but it can also make both feel psychically entangled or drained.

This placement also brings mystical synchronicities—songs, numbers, dreams, or repeating signs that seem to echo the connection, especially during moments of silence or distance. Lilith doesn’t seek a conventional relationship here; she seeks transcendence, the merging of souls beyond the physical plane. Yet, if emotional maturity is lacking, the pair may lose themselves in illusion, fantasy, or projection, mistaking obsession for spiritual destiny.

On a higher vibration, Lilith in the 12th house can serve as a teacher of spiritual liberation through desire. She reminds both partners that passion and intimacy are not meant to be feared or suppressed but integrated into the wholeness of the self. When both individuals confront their shadows with honesty, this bond can lead to deep inner transformation and compassion. It is not about control, rescue, or idealization—it’s about recognizing the divine and the human in each other. Ultimately, Lilith in synastry with the 12th house mirrors the soul’s hidden layers: intoxicating, confusing, redemptive, and, above all, inevitable.

You guys asked, and you shall receive! Here are my (mostly personal) Solar Return Observations from my last 10 SRCs. :) Lolo

Saturn in the 7th is the !! Worst !! placement in a Solar Return Chart. When I had this 8 years ago (combined with an 8H Pluto), a romantic interest entered my life who was SO karmic, and things still haven't been settled with them. I have a 7H Saturn natally, and still wouldn't wish this placement in an SRC on my worst enemy. I lowkey think it's worse than 1H/8H Saturn.

The second worst is 10H Saturn. Life feels so heavy. Sudden bills or responsibilities that you were never aware of just appear out of nowhere. Your parents can start acting like your children.

Ranking my SRC Risings over the past 10 years: 6. Scorpio ASC < 5. Aquarius ASC < 4. Capricorn ASC < 3. Virgo ASC < 2. Leo ASC < 1. Gemini ASC ! Gemini ASC feels like getting in touch with your inner child, which is so needed, especially with the 10H Saturn I have this year.

On the flip side, having the Moon or Jupiter in your 5H/7H/11H is a sign that you will have a happy and fulfilling year.

I also love having a Gemini or Libra Moon in the SRC! No matter the house. I dislike having an Aries or Leo Moon, which basically means you will be involved with some dramatic people/situations.

5H/10H Venus is also really nice, suddenly getting admired for your beauty or positive traits out of nowhereeee.

9H Saturn is indeed a good indicator that you will have an accident while traveling. The only time I've had this in an SRC, I got into a car accident with my friends on vacation.

New day, new astrology observations! Thank you to all of my new followers :)

- Sagittarius/9H Mars are the most defiant people ever. Will straight-up break rules just to say they could and they did.

- I'm not a big believer in gender-based astrology, but in my opinion, there's a huge difference between Pisces/12H Mars women and men. The women are gorgeous, sociable, and generous. The men are strange and avoidant.

- Scorpio Mars are the most vengeful people ever. It doesn't matter if it's been a full decade since you wronged them... they are coming for you like it was yesterday.

- Taurus Mars has a lot of aggression, like their sister sign Scorpio, even if they might not seem like it, but they prefer to exert this anger primarily towards productivity/athletic activities.

- 1H/Aries Mars HAVE to get some sort of exercise throughout the day or else they go a little crazy...

- 7H/Libra Mars are SO good at deflecting problems onto others.

- 4H/Cancer Mars and their passive aggression that keeps them going...

- I want every single Air Mars (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) to teach me their detachment game. These people really can act like your best friend one day and like you don't exist the next. It's because they don't really need you to exist either. Savages.

Cardinal (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn) Mars hates being disrespected.

Fixed (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius) Mars hates being devalued.

Mutable (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces) Mars hates being evaluated.

- You will never stop a 10H Mars from doing what they want to do. Similar to 9H Mars, except these people usually have a line of reasoning for breaking a rule.

- You will never stop a 9H Mars from doing what they want, and you won't stop a 3H Mars from saying what they want. These people can be so cutting with their words.

╚═━━━✦🌞✦━━━═╝

✦ 1ST HOUSE SUN — main character energy, raw and real

You’re here to become yourself in full color. Life constantly pushes you back to your own reflection — to stand tall in your body, your identity, your truth. You don’t follow the story… you are the story.

✦ 2ND HOUSE SUN — self-worth is your compass

You shine when you move through life like you know your value. This placement calls you to build something real — stability, ownership, and a deep trust that what you bring to the table is enough.

✦ 3RD HOUSE SUN — your words are spells

You’re here to talk about it, write about it, question it, and connect the dots. Communication isn’t just a tool — it’s your legacy. Speak up. Your mind was made to move things.

✦ 4TH HOUSE SUN — you carry the soul of the home

Legacy isn’t just about the future — it’s about healing the past. You’re here to nurture what’s been neglected. To protect what’s sacred. To turn wounds into foundations.

✦ 5TH HOUSE SUN — express or explode

You were born to create, love, and feel everything loudly. Life keeps handing you the mic — whether you realize it or not. Stop dimming your brilliance. You’re the light people remember.

✦ 6TH HOUSE SUN — your magic is in the details

You’re not here to chase attention — you’re here to master something. Routines, rituals, purpose-driven work. When you show up consistently for your craft (and yourself), everything changes.

✦ 7TH HOUSE SUN — mirrors shape your becoming

Relationships are more than connection — they’re your soul curriculum. You’re learning how to balance being seen with being whole. Partnerships teach you who you really are.

✦ 8TH HOUSE SUN — rebirth is your rhythm

You’re here to face the shadows and come out burning brighter. Transformation isn’t just something that happens to you — it’s your power source. You don’t just survive — you alchemize.

✦ 9TH HOUSE SUN — your truth sets others free

You were made to seek, explore, teach, and expand. Life calls you beyond your comfort zone — into the realm of bigger stories. You’re here to inspire belief and live out loud.

✦ 10TH HOUSE SUN — your impact is meant to be seen

You didn’t come here to play small. Legacy, leadership, visibility — this house demands you rise. You’re being asked to build something lasting… and to own your power while doing it.

✦ 11TH HOUSE SUN — you belong to the future

Your light is collective, visionary, and rebellious. You shine when you connect people, uplift causes, and fight for what’s possible. This world needs your wild hope and big ideas.

✦ 12TH HOUSE SUN — you are the hidden light

You’re here to walk between worlds — to sense, dream, dissolve, and transcend. Your path is spiritual, internal, and often misunderstood… but it holds a quiet kind of power that moves everything.

1st Astrology Observations. These are all based on my personal experience and are no needs meant to contribute to furthering astrological study. My blog, my opinions!!!

- Sun in 9H people are so naturally optimistic no matter what, sometimes to the point of delusion, that things will work out for them.

- Moon in 10H people are so trustworthy. This is such a hard placement to have because they are often looked at as a moral authority by others.

- I also find Mercury in 10H to be a trustworthy placement. They are seen as more of an administrative authority than a moral one.

- Sun in 6H people/6H stelliums are also trustworthy, with the added caveat that you will be either indebted to them or receptive to their criticism. They are the hardest workers in the zodiac, though.

- 3H/Gemini Moons love to talk. If you have a friend with either of these placements, call them and talk to them for an hour about random stuff and watch them love you forever.

- Taurus Sun/Sun in 2H people are lowkey insecure. These people like to compare their accomplishments to others. Their desire for security can be pervasive.

- Moon in 6H, PLEASE stop blaming yourself for other people's problems.

- Sun in 11H people are very popular and likeable, but are often disconnected from their environments. A lot of people "know them," but they have very few close friends.

- Those with personal planets in succedent houses (2,5,8,11) have a very very deep sense of loyalty. Especially Sun/Moon/Venus.

- Earth Risings/Earth Midheavens have a deep fear of being seen as looking or dressing weird. These people usually have a more basic fashion sense.

- Fire Risings/Fire Midheavens have the least fear of being seen as "socially unacceptable." These people thrive in their uniqueness.

- In my experience, people who struggle to leave their hometowns throughout their lives have ICs ruled by the Luminaries/Mercury/Venus/Mars.

Okay, I’ll go first. To me one placement that is overhyped in theory is Cancer Venus. What I found then in real life that these people are rather stingy, but love if you pay for them and only splurge on food, but nothing else in their life. Not the biggest gift givers too. Love spending money on themselves. I notice they are generous with you only if you are generous with them first. Also very stoic in love and friendships. Also, not the most loyal bunch when in a partnership I feel, they get bored very easily or “distracted” by outside influences or other people.

I've too often observed Scorpio placements tend to be very superficial and don't do their "intense" and "emotionally deep" descriptions justice specially if they also have Libra placements. They are greedy as hell often seeking superficial things such as MONEY, sex, status, being hot, etc. Which is fine to want those things of course but they tend to focus too much on them bc they wanna be seen as powerful in the eyes of others. Paired with this, their avoidance to show or tap into vulnerability tends consolidate this superficiality. I've observed they have this huge tendency to prioritize having the upper hand over creating deep genuine bonds with others.

When it comes to loyalty, yes they are but this loyalty has a price and it has to be on their own terms and their terms only. They are the ones who decide what it means to be loyal and unless you play by their rules, they won't trust you or let you in. In other words loyalty for them often means submitting to them in some way. I've personally found this very frustrating specially in friendships because on instances where I've found myself genuinely wanting love and connect with them, they wouldn't care about this intention unless I jump through their hoops crossing my boundaries like damn you really need to give yourself away (even your dignity in some extreme cases) and that's just not healthy. Their love feels very conditional in my experience
