Rahu in Leo 12^th house

Rahu is very happy in the 12^th house of expenditure since one of Rahu’s specialties is expenditure. As a head without a body he can eat and eat and eat and never get full. Ketu is of the nature of fullness. Rahu is very likely to increase wasteful expenditure from the 12^th house. In Leo, Rahu might like to spend on things as a show of authority, sporting good or events, politics or anything else he thinks might give him a stage. In the 12^th house, he could keep you up at night in your search for the elusive satisfaction thru various pleasures of the night. Conjoined with Jupiter in the 12^th, foreign travel is a good possibility.

Rahu casts his drishti on the 4^th and 8^th house, which could cause some difficulties on the home front (4^th) as well as creating a situation for some sudden event (8^th). Mars is also ruler of 8^th house residing 8 houses away from 8^th which is of course the house of effort, but it is also used as a kind of confirmation of 8^th house indication. Mars conjunct Saturn can signify very hard (and possibly secret) effort against ones enemies.

Ketu in Aquarius 6^th house

Ketu in 6^th house provides and interesting contrast between competition (6^th house) and satisfaction (Ketu). There can be a sense of not feeling the need to compete whilst being surrounded by competitors. Ketu is generally considered well placed in the 6^th house since he can often dispatch your enemies before you even know you have them. However, difficulties can arise from Ketu’s lack of foresight. Since the 6^th house represents accidents, illnesses, debts and criminals and other such obstacles that need to be dealt with, Ketu can neglect to act in a timely manner or ignore the details of 12^th house in such a way that problems begin to fester: minor illness and debt, when ignored, can become a more serious problem. Likewise, association with criminals, though not a criminal oneself, can lead to being judged guilty by association.

The Sun’s conjunction with Ketu (in February-March) along with Mars’ aspect suggests there are some powerful competitors that need to be acknowledged. For Virgo countries, there is some suggestion that this competition (6^th house) could be met through a very determined effort (Saturn/Mars conjunct 3^rd house) over seas (Jupiter/Rahu 12^th house). Ketu’s aspect on 10^th and 2^nd houses suggests some occupation that will be out of character and a certain. People and countries with Virgo rising or moon could be showing a rather difference face to the world at this time. Considering there will be no planets in the angles suggests that much of the focus of this period will be “outer” (away from home and perhaps not directly associated with your core (or home) personality, contentment, partnerships or occupation). Overseas struggles is indicated. The sun as owner of a bad house (12^th) residing in a bad house (6th) creates a Vipreet Raja Yoga suggesting a successful period in February-March. Though all lagnas need to watch out for international events taking place in early March.

Saturn in Scorpio 3^rd house

The 3^rd house represents the arms. It’s where we reach out to the world thru our effort. Saturn’s position here suggests that our effort is likely to bring sorrow. Saturn also causes some restriction while Mars provides action this usually gets displayed as frustration, but since Mars will be in own house Scorpio, action is likely to prevail: hard, dirty, committed, valiant action. As owner of 5^th house, he will likely bring political and sporting efforts; and as owner of the 6^th he will direct his effort against his obstacles and enemies. It could be a good time to overcome illness thru effort as Saturn 3^rd look on the 5^th house will bring some strength to liberate yourself from 6^th house difficulties. Saturn and Mars both looking at the 9^th house will not be a good time for higher thinking, higher knowledge, religion or even following the path of ones father. When Venus moves into the 6^th house sometime towards the end of February, such expansive thinking will be all but lost to the competition (this could open the doors for an “anything goes” sort of fight).

Jupiter in Leo 12^th house (Guru Chandal yoga)

Jupiter is badly debilitated for Virgo Lagna. First, as ruler of two Kendra houses (4^th & 7^th) he looses his first face (his benefic face); second, he’s an enemy of Mercury, Lagna lord of Virgo; third, he’s situated in 12^th house; fourth, he’s retrograde; fifth, of course, is Guru Chandal yoga. The 9^th house, for which Jupiter is natural karaka, is also badly compromised by aspects from both Saturn and Mars. Loss of home pleasure is likely, as is loss of partnership (or trade). Some culprit activity could come out of strong Virgo places or people.

When we think of the world stage, consider places that exemplify strong Virgo qualities: regions, countries, constitutions, leaders. Virgo could signify a conflict zone and the people living there, it could also signify a doctor or a lawyer, analysts and problem solvers. When 4^th owner goes into 12^th house, home pleasure gets expended in the way a prideful priest (Jupiter) might spend (12th) himself in the kings overseas castle (Leo in 12^th) with a strong influence by some shadowy figures (Rahu). Mars rules 8th house of secrets and will be situated in his own 8^th sign of secrets (or mystery) which happens to be the house of effort. Saturn (as 5^th owner) brings some beneficial influence for Virgo, but certainly not for those against whom he is making effort (3^rd), or fight (6^th). His efforts are likely to be merely political (5^th) and bureaucratic (Saturn) anyways. Jupiter could, however, bring some luck to ones search for hidden things (8^th), and his glance at the 4^th house is likely to help stabilize home life thru the rule of law which he signifies as does his own sign Sagittarius which is located in the 4^th house for Virgos.
