Aries lagna, born 1968 — career, marriage, health

• Chart pointers (PVNR): Rāśi lagna Aries (Pitta build confirms). D9 lagna Gemini; D4 lagna Capricorn; D10 lagna Sagittarius; D12 lagna Taurus; D20; D24 lagna Taurus. D10: Mercury (10th lord, also 7th lord) in lagna → Viṣaptati Sama Daśā applies. D1 lagna heavily afflicted (Moon+Mars+Rāhu = "broken house").

• Career: civil → environmental engineer → software application developer + manager.
• Marriage: Aug 31, 1997.
• Foreign: came to the US Feb 4, 1998.
• Family: mother died Nov 2008; father died Oct 2011.
• Education: bachelor's 1990, master's 1994, management diploma 1996.
• Spirituality: Karma Yoga path; mystical experience likely ~2016.
• Character: Pitta constitution (bald, fiery, quick to frustration).

• Aug 31, 1997 · marriage · Jupiter-Venus (D9) · Jupiter = 7th lord in 5th (Pūrva Puṇya); Venus = debilitated 6th lord (obstacles dissolve) + 9th lord from Jupiter.
• Feb 4, 1998 · came to US · Jupiter-Venus (D4) · Jupiter = 12th lord with Rāhu in 9th = "slam dunk for foreign residency"; Venus = 9th lord from Jupiter (Pāk Lagna).
• Sep 2005 · career gain · Mars-Rāhu → Mars-Sun (D10 Viṣaptati) · Mars = 5th lord in 5th; Mars in Aries (Pṛṣṭhodaya) gave results late in the daśā.
• Nov 2008 · mother's death · Saturn-Mercury (D12) · from Leo (4th in D12 = mother): Rāhu = 7th lord in 2nd (Maraka over Maraka); Jupiter = 8th lord in lagna.
• Oct 2011 · father's death · Saturn-Ketu/Venus border (D12 TP) · using Sun as reference (lagna broken): from Capricorn (9th from Sun = father), Rāhu = 2nd lord + Moon = 7th lord together in 3rd = Maraka combination.
• 1990 / 1994 / 1996 · education milestones · Venus-Mercury, Saturn-Sun (D24).
• June 2012 onward · career recognition · Mercury-Rāhu (D10).
• ~Sep 2014 · slowdown/partial retirement possible · Mercury-Moon (Moon = 8th lord, eclipsed by Ketu).
• ~2016 · mystical experience likely · Mars-Moon (D20).

Career (D10)

• D10 lagna Sagittarius (not Capricorn) because the career is software/management, not hardware/civil; Mercury (10th lord) in lagna = strong identification with an analytical career. Viṣaptati Sama Daśā applies (7th lord in lagna); Mars Daśā (5th lord in 5th) gave recognition; current Mercury Daśā = career peak.

Marriage (D9)

• Jupiter (7th lord in 5th = Pūrva Puṇya) with Venus antardaśā delivered marriage; D9 lagna near a sign boundary allowed fine rectification.

Foreign (D4)

• Jupiter = 12th lord with Rāhu in 9th = foreign residency; Pāk Lagna technique (antardaśā lord as 9th lord from the daśā lord) confirms Venus.

Family (D12)

• Mother from the 4th of D12 (Leo); father from the 9th from Sun (since the D1/D12 lagna is a broken house). Both deaths fall on standard Maraka combinations (2nd lord in 3rd, 7th lord in 8th, etc.).

Education (D24)

• Taurus D24 lagna: Venus = lagna lord, Mercury = 5th lord in the 9th (math/engineering) for the bachelor's; the 2nd house (master's, Gemini ruled by Mercury) links the degrees; Sun+Venus aspecting the 2nd = the management diploma.

Spirituality (D20)

• Mars = 8th lord in the 8th of D20 = very strong 8th house (Kuṇḍalinī, transformation, "death while alive"); Saturn (6th lord) in Mūlatrikoṇa → path is Karma Yoga (service/hard work), not jñāna or bhakti; Mars-Moon (~2016) → strong mystical experience.

Character / health

• Pitta constitution. Diet: avoid chili/pepper/pickles; favor cumin, fennel, coriander, cardamom, mint; buttermilk after every meal ("amrita for Pitta"); big meals fewer times; herbs shatavari + bhringraj.

• Methodological reset to Drik Siddhānta (Jagannātha ayanāṁśa), 360°-year for all daśās, Arudhas from physical longitudes, ascendant = middle of the 1st house (±15°). SC Daśā and conditional nakṣatra daśās in divisional charts dropped as too subjective.
• Rāhu/Ketu act by the house they occupy and their company, not their lordship.
• Pṛṣṭhodaya signs (Aries, Taurus, Cancer, Sagittarius, Capricorn) give daśā results late; Śīrṣodaya early; Pisces (Ubhayodaya) in the middle.
• When the lagna is a "broken house" (Moon+Mars+Rāhu), use Sun as primary reference for D12 parent analysis (4th from Sun = mother, 9th = father).
• Viṣaptati Sama Daśā applies in D10 when the 7th lord is in the lagna or the lagna lord in the 7th.
