Introduction to Vedic Astrology
Vedic astrology is one of the oldest forms of astrology. It evolved over 5,000 years ago and is based on a body of knowledge known as the 'Vedas,' which translates to 'knowledge' or 'wisdom,' and is referred to as Jyotish — the 'light of the heavenly bodies'. Today, Vedic astrology is acknowledged as one of the most powerful forms of astrology in practice and is followed by millions around the world.
While Western astrology is known for its emphasis on the psychological nature and personality of the individual, Vedic astrology's primary focus is on predicting cycles and events of the future, putting more emphasis on understanding when certain events are likely to take place. Vedic astrology gives a better view of: a person's karmic tendencies and when such tendencies are likely to manifest for that person through a unique system of planetary time cycles, called 'dashas,' for which there is no corresponding method in Western astrology. One of the aphorisms offered by this body of knowledge is: 'Avoid the danger that has not yet come.'
The planets in Vedic astrology are referred to as 'grahas' and ancient scriptures refer to them as the lords of karma and destiny. It is believed that the birth chart of an individual is based on their past karma, which is bestowed upon them by the nine planets. However, it is not Vedic astrology's purpose to replace an individual's responsibility to decide what is best for them. The role of astrology is to make one aware of the presence or absence of certain tendencies, and should be used as a tool for making better decisions.Ultimately, the purpose of astrology is self-knowledge, self-awareness and improvement.
Vedic astrology follows the same combinations of the houses, signs and planets as those in Western astrology. But for those of us familiar with the Western birth chart, there will be many differences. The Vedic birth chart is square, instead of the round chart wheel of Western astrology. The houses, signs and planets also take on different meaning under Vedic astrology. The more recently discovered outer planets — Neptune, Pluto and Uranus are not considered in Vedic astrology for the purposes of interpreting a chart, however, the Lunar Nodes are. The North Node is known as Rahu and the South Node as Ketu. Each planet is also given rulership over a particular sign of the zodiac and it is referred to as its lord. The ruling planet transfers a large part of its influence upon the sign it rules, and is referred to continuously in chart interpretations. Planets form the center point of Vedic astrology.
Another major difference between the two is that Western astrology uses the Tropical Zodiac, which is based on the equinoxes. The beginning of the Tropical Zodiac or its first degree of Aries is always with the spring or vernal Equinox. Vedic astrology uses the Sidereal Zodiac which tracks planetary movements against the actual movement of the stars, and the first degree of Aries or the start of the Sidereal Zodiac starts approximately 24 degrees ahead of that of the Tropical Zodiac. So unless you were born between the 15th or 20th of any month, you will find that your Western Sun sign and ascendant, as well as some of the planets are moved back by one sign in your Vedic chart.
Western astrology considers the Sun as the center of our universe, and therefore the most significant influence in our lives. Vedic astrology, on the other hand, uses the Moon and the 27 constellations of the Moon — called the Lunar Mansions or Nakshatras — as the primary source of predictive techniques. The Sun represents one's soul while the Moon represents one's mind. Both are important, and both have a significant place in astrology.
Vedic science also recognizes that there are four aims or purpose in life – Kama, Artha, Dharma and Moksha. Kama literally means desire and signifies our need for emotional and sensory happiness in life. Artha can be translated as wealth, and relates to the fact that each one of us must have sufficient means to function happily in life. Dharma is our need for recognition in life, since we all need to be acknowledged for who we are and what we can do and contribute. Moksha means liberation or freedom and it represents our need for spiritual growth – we all must seek to go beyond who we are until we become one with all.

The First House — The House of Self — Your Personality and Identity
The ascendant — or Rising sign — always occupies the First House; it is also known as the Lagna in Vedic astrology. In Western astrology, one identifies themselves by their Sun Sign. In Vedic astrology, the ascendant is the main indicator of one's most personal characteristics and tendencies, and thereby the most important aspect of the birth chart.
The First House reveals your outlook on life and indicates how you project yourself to the outside world. It is the primary factor regarding confidence, self-confidence, self-esteem and self acceptance. It personifies life, longevity, self, nature, vitality, bodily appearance, character, early childhood, personality and fame. A strong First House helps you in your career, establishing self-identity, and is important for honor, integrity, fame or recognition. This is a house of dharma or duty and life purpose.

Your patience is a great help in most matters, but occasionally you can also roar like a bull.
Taurus rising in the First House gives you a stable, graceful and harmonious personality, but also makes you very passive and easygoing until pushed. However, you can display a stubborn, rigid and uncontrollable temper when provoked. Venus as the lord of Taurus produces high degree of diplomacy, tact, sociability coupled with sensuality and a temptation for pleasure in your nature. Generally Taurus also represents earthy pursuits, giving you a practical and pleasure seeking approach to life and a very down-to-earth nature.
In a nutshell, you are a very good listener who usually does not speak unless you have something important to say. You are patient, persevering and extremely loyal to families, friends and colleagues. You are also sensual, passionate and faithful, as well as jealous and possessive. Although you are basically even tempered, once that temper is ignited, you become a true bull. You are amazingly productive, relentless to the point of obsession, inflexible, and controlling. When things do not go according to plan, you find it difficult to readjust.
You are affectionate, dependable, sincere, trustworthy, inflexible, stable, determined, reliable, stubborn, preserving, unrelenting, practical and materialistic. Your sensuous attitude leads you to indulge in the pleasures of life. You are highly sensitive towards beauty, music, food, color, fashion, fragrance and other luxurious things. Luxury always tempts you and your choices in life are colored by comfort. Because of this, you may not choose a highly-rewarding option if it involves extending yourself to uncomfortable zone physically, emotionally or financially; your need for security is paramount and uncertainty of any kind can unnerve you.
Your understanding of practicality helps you to stabilize the environment around you. Though you may take time in making decisions, you make sure that the plan is realistic and is 'doable.' Normally you are calm and relaxed, but if things spiral out of your control, you may turn violent and your temper may take time to cool. Feeling of closeness can induce warmth and security in you; hence you are highly sensitivity to emotive expressions like hugging. If you are forced to leave your comfort zone, you resist. You are stubborn and want to do things your own way. You work hard to attain a secure position, then protect it fiercely.

The Seventh House — House of Partners — Your Relationships
The Seventh House rules marriage and male/female relationships. In more broad terms, it's the house that covers all relationships with common goals, such as live-in relationships, business partnerships or other kinds of alliances. This may include joint ventures, foreign partnerships or even business arrangements based on sharing rewards.

Since you find yourself devoting energy to social relations — especially marriage — you need a partner who is creative and has the ability and power to get things done. You should, however, not let your tendency to approach partnerships as a personal challenge, extend to your marriage. Altercations due to your possessive nature and tendency for control could mar matrimonial relations. There is likelihood of more than one marriage, as your unions could be challenging and peppered with crisis. You are very emotional, though you do not portray yourself as such, since you are scared of being taken advantage of. You can be very protective, as well as possessive of your partner. You can, however, learn from your mistakes and cultivate more successful channels of communications with your partner or spouse.
You are an explorer of hidden mysteries when it comes to the relationship with your spouse. Your partner brings a glimpse of deep hidden treasure within and you spend your life in search of it. You may be attracted to adopt mysterious ways, such as tantra, to unlock these dimensions, which can unravel the deepest mysteries of life through your partner. You may experience sex as a way to awaken very intense spiritual energy. Your spouse can very often be the door for the new truth to be revealed to you. This attitude can be quite mysterious for your partner and you can become the object of fear, as well as worship. You may want to dominate your spouse, but your spouse may find your persona magnetic as you can gaze deeply into their eyes, scanning their inner realities.
On the negative side, you are quite fixed in your ideas and you want to do everything your own way, even if you use trickery and deception to get around what your partner wants. This attitude can cause serious troubles at times and become an obstacle in your relationship. You may not appear determined, but once you take a stand in relationship, you do not budge from it. If you become suspicious of the motives of your partner, there is a tendency that you can even trap them by using manipulative and imaginative schemes.
Planets in the Seventh House
Although Saturn's very nature is to restrict, deny, and destroy, it's also capable of bestowing the greatest evolutionary qualities a person may experience. A properly aspected and well-placed Saturn indicates a person of wisdom, integrity, and discipline. It is especially helpful to those persons on the spiritual path who are diligently seeking perfection, as Saturn gives humility, patience, dedication and a genuine sense of freedom from worldly desires and pleasures. You should look to the dire aspects of Saturn as warnings you can use to avoid challenges, and truly grow from.
Saturn in Scorpio
Mars, ruler of Scorpio, combines in a slightly unlucky way with Saturn to make you violent, bold and adventurous. You may have a stout build and be perceived as intense by most. Hard-hearted at times, you may display complete detachment from what is happening in reality. You may be confrontational, mostly opposed to the ideas or opinions of others. A chronic ailment may persist, making you never truly well.
Saturn in Scorpio brings harmony to turbulent and uncontrollable passions. You tend to be calm and learn not to hold grudges over a long period of time. You learn to control your jealous nature and overcome your hatred. You are not fond of your baser passions, preferring to control them. You are envious of your peers, and you may have a tendency to remain dissatisfied with your achievements and rewards. However, you will try to improve upon your shortcomings. With effort, you can become prudent, tactful, and independent.
The Eighth House — House of Death or Mysteries — Sudden Developments
The Eighth House is known as the House of destruction. One of the most difficult and profound Houses, it's also considered the most inauspicious house of the zodiac. In Vedic astrology, the meaning of this House is expanded to include all types of mysterious influences on our lives.
This House has always been considered as the most malefic house of all. It is the most important factor behind longevity, as well as any life threatening situations. This house signifies diseases, death, longevity, psychic ability, knowledge of psychology, fear, misfortunes, inheritance, gain from in-laws, gain from your spouse, finances through unfair means, internal sex organs, mental pain, obstacles, property of your partner, etc. As the house of joint resources, it represents the possessions that are not earned, but obtained through relationships and inheritance. It rules your partner's money and indicates the problems that may arise in a partnership through the handling of money. For a woman, it may indicate the alimony they will receive and for a man the money he might have to pay. The parts of the body indicated by this house are the pelvic, bones, and external genitalia. This is a House that signifies moksha or final liberation.
Sagittarius — Ruled by Jupiter — Occupies Your Eighth House.
Jupiter rules your Eighth House, which pertains to legacies and the finances of others — especially those of the spouse. Because Jupiter is a greater beneficial planet, it is very likely that you will inherit money at some time in your life. Vedic astrological scriptures attribute this likelihood to the fact that 'you command the good will and sincere affection of your relatives.'
Additionally, this is an excellent placement for business, but you must exercise caution against extravagance and hasty decision making. The influence of Sagittarius in the Eighth House produces good fortune and a flair for business in monetary matters. Your courage and enthusiasm ensures financial abundance throughout your life. Jupiter the ruling planet of Sagittarius makes you good-humored nature and generous with an outgoing demeanor, optimism and high expectations that serve you very well. You are intelligent, cheerful, vigorous, colorful and enthusiastic.
Desire for expansion and freedom may be the cause of major upsets in your life if you are not careful. If you are trying to unshackle yourself from a restrictive circumstance, you may have to pay dearly. You may abhor going through various situations in life, as these may create challenging circumstances. So, you may not want to go into that unknown zone of gaining new knowledge, cultural experiences or interacting with human behavior — the lack of which may keep your options limited in life. However, if you can go through these upsets without losing your calm, the unimaginable possibilities may open for you in terms of fame, friends and money. You are also generous, just and honest.
On the negative side, your overconfidence can result in upset in your business, love and financial affairs. You can be quite abrupt, fiery, impulsive and candid in dealing with people, which can create awkward situations during social interactions. You cannot tolerate dishonesty; hence you tend to reject anyone who you think is trying to deceive you. This may even lead to a long series of fights and litigations. You should avoid exaggeration, false promises, arrogance, vindictiveness and hurting others. You should be cautious in sports and outdoor activities, as there are chances of cuts, bruises and accidents.
Planets in the Eigth House
Mars is considered a major malefic in Vedic astrology, capable of harming all planets or aspects that it combines with. It destroys through aggression, violence, impulsiveness, accidents and insensitivity. However, it also provides energy, drive, determination and the ability to put one's personal desires above those of others. If Mars is weak or afflicted in a birth chart, you will lack ambition and motivation, and success will remain elusive.
Mars rules courage and bravery and all military functions. This is also the planet of passions and desires, and is focused on sexual activity. Another function of Mars is to enhance mechanical or technical ability, ruling all professions that require work with the hands.
Mars in Sagittarius
Jupiter, the ruler of Sagittarius, promotes intelligence and knowledge, Mars adds energy and leadership to the combination. Devoted, frank and pleasure-seeking, you have the capability of being well-known and respected. However, you may have a confrontational nature and become easily entangled in quarrels.
Both Mars and Sagittarius are fiery, and the natural warlord aspects of Mars are highlighted here. This makes you highly spirited and enthusiastic, with natural leadership abilities and a general distaste for the lazy. While all this all sounds like a recipe for success, your relationships often suffer because of your energy and drive. Take care to be an attentive and understanding partner, friend and coworker for the best possible outcome.
The Ninth House — The House of Destiny — Luck and Sudden Gains
The Ninth House signifies your base values, ideals and principles. It represents your father, and his fate can also be read from this House. It shows the authorities that inspire us like a father or boss, and important personalities. It shows the benefits given by stalwart figures that guide you, like a teacher or guru.

It is also represents long-range goals, planning and long distance travel. The parts of the body indicated by this house are hips, thighs, female arteries and the sacral region. This is a House that signifies your good deeds and is a House of dharma or duty.
Capricorn — Ruled by Saturn — Occupies Your Ninth House.
You have a conservative philosophy of life, which is reflected in what is often perceived as inflexible behavior. Your father may have been deeply religious, a strict disciplinarian, or someone who instilled the meaning of hard work and responsibility in his children. These values are carried through the entire life. Because you're are patient and have the need to communicate ethical values, you are a great teacher and counselor.
The influence of Capricorn on the Ninth House indicates an orthodox approach to spiritual life. You could be conservative in your ideas and abstract thoughts, and want hard evidence before changing any of your views. You prefer to perform your duties with diligence and also want recognition for your hard work.
This placement indicates foreign travels usually associated with business. Your foreign journeys are mostly defined by a great sense of purpose and ambition to achieve something really lasting and worthwhile in life. You could achieve professional success in a foreign country through your determination, self-esteem, organizational skills, self-control, prudence, maturity, dedication, thoroughness and perseverance. You may also succeed in import/export of products involving high raw material and labor.
If you choose to work for some religious cause, you may soon become the foundation of such an organization. This kind of work could also bring glory and reputation in wider social circles. Your need to follow certain ethics and morals — even in the face of adversity — brings you accolades and appreciation in life.
Planets in the Ninth House
You have no planets in the Ninth House.
The Tenth House — The House of Karma — Your Profession and Career
As the house of action, the Tenth House signifies your active 'karma,' which relates to your ideal career. It also shows the status that you are capable of achieving in this life. This House indicates the type of profession you gravitate towards and whether you will be successful at it or not. It shows the skills and tendencies that you can exploit. Your career picture is completed by examining the strength of this placement, and how it relates to the placement of other planets in your chart.

It reveals whether success will come easily, or if it will be the result of life-long struggle and toil. It also is connected to the profession, affairs of state or of the large-scale operations. Body parts indicated by this house are knee joints, patellae, bones and joints, hair, nails and your skeleton in general. This is a House of artha or wealth.
Aquarius — Ruled by Saturn — Occupies Your Tenth House.
Saturn is a very beneficial planet in this chart since both Ninth and Tenth Houses — which are considered as very auspicious — are ruled by it. As seen through the Tenth House, the profession has its best expression through careers involving contact with others ranging from social work and community organizing to advertising. Your profession will reflect the Taurean need for financial stability accompanied by the Aquarian need for freedom of expression and service to others.
The influence of Aquarius in the Tenth House represents a personality inclined towards public life. You may possibly be involved in a number of humanitarian ventures, with a number of original and innovative ideas to present to the public. You are inclined towards teamwork and function well as part of a team. You may not be willing to take risks and avoid taking chances in your career and in issues connected to public recognition. You will need to break this habit to achieve true success and measure up to your potential.
Your urge to take center stage is a main factor behind the choice of your profession. You tend to choose a career that brings attention from wide circles, such as public relations, media, journalism, police, astrology, politics and teaching. You may want to help others using your professional influence; however misuse of such powers may lead to trouble. Your excellent judgment of human nature comes quite handy to you in creating the foundation of professional success. Your profession gives you an opportunity to know different people, although most of the times such interactions remain shallow. Because of this, you are likely to have a large number of acquaintances, through which you could experience various dimensions of human behavior. You are supportive to others during crisis, which is appreciated widely. On occasion, your vision could turn difficult situations in to immense possibility, and you may start to gain immense social appreciation due to this blessing.
On the negative side, you may want to handle your career in radical ways without too much influence from convention. This may also be the cause of why you are misunderstood in your professional circles. You may be able to reach to the root cause of the trouble and you can resurrect tough situations. But sometimes, it may become a source of crisis for you, which may induce a state of stress and despair. If you lose your calm in such situations, you may be setting up a trap for yourself.
Planets in the Tenth House
Jupiter is the planet of luck and fortune. It has an expansive, optimistic energy that benefits whatever planets or houses it associates with. It rules opportunity, prosperity, affluence, and money, and reveals so much about the benefits someone has earned from the activities in their previous lives. Vedic astrology is based on the theory of karma and reincarnation, which states the good luck or rewards in this life are a direct result of actions taken in past lives.
Jupiter in Aquarius
Aquarius is ruled by Saturn and Jupiter is debilitated in this sign. Each planet is debilitated or at its weakest when it occupies a particular sign. However, the combined energies of the two planets will bestow rare philanthropic ideals and meditative inclinations on you. Your life will be dedicated to humanitarian ideals and spent doing charitable acts. You may also be dreamy and lack any sense of materialistic desire.
Jupiter in Aquarius inspires you to enjoy the company of loyal friends and spend quality time with them. However, you are also very choosy about what company you keep and less receptive to outsiders. You identify with those who are philosophical, meditative and selfless. You will often be associated organizations or individuals who practice or uphold the humanitarian principles you live by. While your philanthropic tendencies are natural, they may cause friction at home or at work. You may be classified as unrealistic, impractical and blind to getting done what is required. You may also be prone to melancholia and remain blue for days on end. However, you are wise, intelligent and may rise to a very high position of status and career in life.
The Eleventh House — The House of Gains — Income and Cash Flow
The Eleventh House represents income or gains — that which bring us growth or increase. It indicates anything we possess or find increase through. It relates to cash in flow, motivations, hopes and dreams as well as the clout of powerful friends. It specifically rules major desires and ambitions and indicates whether they will be fulfilled.
This is the house of abundance and all planets gain strength when located here. This house relates mostly to our material gains and our ability to overreach or extend ourselves in quest of it. It also shows us how we relate to groups of people, our friendships, community participation, and what we gain ultimately in life — how much of our desires are fulfilled and whether we are satiated

This is the house of achievements of goals and objectives and is also referred to as the house of hopes and wishes. The parts of the body indicated by this house are legs, the left ear, teeth and ankle. This is a House of kama or desire.
Pisces — Ruled by Jupiter — Occupies Your Eleventh House.
Jupiter-ruled Pisces bring increased profits, gains through earning and pride through accomplishments. This may mean financial reward, or it may be just indicate expanding circles of colleagues, friends and acquaintances who entered the picture due to professional success.
The influence of Pisces in the Eleventh House suggests a loyal and sympathetic relationship with friends. While you maintain a very faithful and idealistic attitude toward your friends and associates, you also expect the same. These friends are powerful individuals. This also indicates elder siblings and their flourishing lives.
Your approach to friendship can be described as extremely sensitive, generous, polite, sweet tempered, philosophical, visionary, adaptable and impressionable. Sometime you become emotionally unstable and your feeling plays an important role in your reactions to various situations related with friends. You may be inclined to develop friendships with spiritual people, which help you to cultivate intuitive and psychic capabilities to such an extent that you may be known for it. It can also become a source of additional income for you. People may consult you in their personal matters. You have a powerful imagination, and your ideas relating to art, music, dance, philosophy and mathematics could bring you popularity as well as money. You try your best to maintain peace and harmony in wider circles, even if you have to pay a heavy price for it.
On the negative side, you are extremely sympathetic to people who are in trouble, and extend your helping hand to anyone and everyone who needs it without boundaries. This could become a pitfall for you, and often some people may use you. Do not build unrealistic hopes with friends, since you may get upset over this quite often. Once your suspicion is aroused, you feel that someone may be taking advantage of your generosity, you become blunt and harsh.You should be cautious of being taken advantage of. You may enjoy spending time with your friends and may regularly go on drinking binges with them. In these bouts of merrymaking you could cross all sensible limits.
Planets in the Eleventh House
Rahu — also known as the lunar North node — bestows technical skills and talents. It represents materialism, compulsiveness and intensifies any planet or sign it comes into contact with. Rahu is relentless, highly disciplined, dissatisfied and, at times, dishonest. The effects of Rahu in a chart are closely associated with Western astrology's view of Pluto. If Rahu is well-placed, it brings power and material success. If poorly situated, there may be greed, ruthlessness and violent behavior in your life.
Rahu in Pisces
The benevolence of Jupiter, ruler of Pisces, may be overshadowed or diminished by the effects of Rahu.
You have a strong inclination for uncovering a greater purpose to life. Spiritual inclinations and similar ideas all hold interest for you. Balance is also very important for your life. You enjoy an artistic mind, though your creativity may not be as much a focus as your appreciation for other's creativity is. On the negative side, you may suffer from losing loved ones or relatives, and you may encounter theft, fire and trouble with authority. There will be constant ups and downs in your life which you will have to learn to manage.
The Twelfth House — The House of Losses and Liberation
The Twelfth House deals with matters related to sorrow, limitations and detachment. It indicates confinement in small places such as prisons, hospitals, monasteries, etc. It represents the loss of money through bad investments, emergency expenses or a wasteful nature. It also represents you compulsive journeys into foreign countries, which may not turn out to be pleasant. It signifies the pleasures of the bed, though this may not mean physical union of deep love and commitment.
Representing decrease, wastage and decay, the Twelfth House also signifies expenditure and wastage of resources. It is an unfavorable house and causes challenges in your life. Planets located here weaken, but you are offered liberation and the deeply spiritual concept of detachment.
This House signifies enlightenment, expenditure, confinement, lawsuits, imprisonment, loss, debts, hospitalization, conjugal relations with opposite sex and life in a foreign land. It also relates to the subconscious mind, emotional problems, secrets and deceptions. The body parts indicated by this house are the feet, left eye and legs. This is also a House that signifies moksha or liberation.
Aries — Ruled by Mars — Occupies Your Twelfth House.
Since the Martian-ruled Twelfth House governs expenditure, and since you enjoy all kinds of luxury, your spending habits may be out of control. In other words, you tend to spend rather extravagantly. If Mars is poorly situated or ill-aspected by another malefic planet, your may be extremely self-destructive. An overwhelming desire for economic stability, however, usually wins to temper these indulgent habits.
The influence of Aries on the Twelfth House produces a subconsciously assertive and active personality. This trait may not be outwardly apparent, and you may appear to be sociable and easygoing to the public at large. You rarely accept defeat and anyone who hurts your self-confidence faces the unexpected ire that lurks in your subconscious. Though you rarely lose your temper, when someone crosses the line, your temper can be quite irrational. You tend to consume so much energy in your fiery action, that you have a deep need for relaxation.
You are adventurous, independent, ambitious, frank and outspoken in your approach. There may be times when you may lose opportunities due to your bullish aggression. You may tend to wear out while your rebellious spirit explores new horizons. You keep looking for fresh opportunities all the time, so life can become series of new beginnings. Though you like to begin many things, continuing them becomes a struggle for you, so you leave tasks halfway done and move on to the next.
On the negative side, you may face troubles in life if you adopt aggressive, combative, rash and impulsive attitude. Your tendency to dominate may backfire and this may result into loss. You need to be patient and plan for the long-term, instead of rushing into situations quickly. Jealousy and possessiveness could also be quite hazardous in your life. Constantly craving attention from others could bring fresh troubles, as sycophants and parasites may surround you and drain your resources.
Planets in the Twelth House
The Moon
The Moon plays the single most important role in Vedic astrology. It is equal to or greater than the importance of the ascendant. The Sun and Moon are considered the two eyes of the universe. The Sun is considered the Divine Father and the Moon the Divine Mother. The Sun represents the Self or the Soul while the Moon represents the Mind. According to the Vedas, the human mind was born from the Moon. In this context, the mind represents the source of all emotions.
The Moon rules peace of mind, happiness, comforts, and the general well being and fortune of a person. Unlike Western astrology, where the Sun is the most vital concern, the focus of Vedic astrology is not on a person's deeply ingrained tendencies and abilities. It is rather on the benefits an individual reaps in this lifetime — happiness and joy, worldly comforts, ease of life, affluence, and fame among other things.
The Moon shows our capacity to receive and to be affected. It also indicates our capacity to be hurt and indicates our general vulnerability. A strong Moon shows sensitivity, receptivity, maturity, responsibility and the capacity to have a beneficial effect upon society. The Moon reflects personality, and is a stamp of individuality. Its position and condition shows what you have been and how you can be. It can show positive resources from the past, which gives you a greater awareness in life. It can mean great enduring power and an automatic and active reflex to seek and find happiness in life. Ultimately, the Moon represents happiness in your life.
If the Moon is weak or afflicted, success becomes rather difficult to achieve, and happiness and the chances of a comfortable life are hampered. A badly placed Moon is indicative of a heavy mindset, poor family background or difficult childhood, poor educational background and other traumatic influences.
In a birth chart analysis, a thorough understanding of the Moon, the house placement, the house the moon rules and the aspects formed with the moon all go towards understanding the deeper emotional make-up of an individual. Essentially, the Moon Sign reflects the psychic core of you as an individual. The House where the Moon is positioned in the chart is paramount since it signifies our peace of mind, creature comforts, and other vital facets of our life. This is the most consistent indicator of where we will play out our karma.
Moon in Aries
Aries is the positive sign of Mars, and is ruled by this fiery planet, which gives you a passionate and excitable nature. You are also very self-confident, self-assured, and have a dynamic personality. In addition, you are usually full of initiative, as well as agile, aggressive, competitive and enterprising. You love living spontaneously and need to have lots of fun. However, you are also very ambitious and hardworking, and a self-starter. You are able to make quick decisions, and are adaptable, vibrant and popular. You are extremely adventurous, love travel and are drawn to passionate activities. This combination also brings lasting wealth and fame.
Aries is a movable sign and, since the Moon is also flexible by nature, you are likely to be restless with a tendency to be fickle and confused at times. The Moon also gives you a short attention span and a tendency to push others too hard. You may not like taking advice, are prone to rash and hasty decisions and are probably very stubborn. You dislike people who shirk their responsibilities and have no patience with them. In addition, you cannot stand anyone interfering with your affairs or your life.
Although, this combination indicates you will enjoy an active and long life with good health, you need to remember to slow down and get rest. This combination also indicates that you will enjoy good relationships and will be a faithful and loyal partner. However, it is likely that you might be very indecisive and may function best with a partner who shares all the same decisions. You are likely to be an easy person to live with, and will not be very demanding. In addition, opposite sex will enjoy your company.
We hope you have enjoyed the interpretation of your Vedic Birth Chart, which attempts to portray your journey through life by the dictum of your accumulated Karma. This is a basic reading and you may find that some of the characteristics described may not be relevant to you since there are many aspects and considerations in your chart that may not have been covered here. We encourage you to try the other Vedic readings which will detail specific areas of your life.
We emphasize once again, that it is not Vedic astrology's purpose to replace an individual's responsibility to decide what is best for them. The role of astrology is to make one aware of the presence or absence of certain tendencies, and should be used as a tool for making better decisions. Ultimately, the purpose of astrology is self-knowledge, self-awareness and improvement. Consider the relative strengths of your birth chart and become aware of how the stars influence you and choose accordingly. You will have taken your first steps to a happier future!
We invite you to try our other Vedic readings for more insight into different areas of your life. And watch for new additions as we expand our Vedic astrology section!

Lukes Lobster will open its financial district location at 26 South William Street tomorrow morning (were told the twenty-seat space will have a lobster roll express window that opens onto the street for lunch crowds!), and believe it or not, that might not be the most exciting lobster news we have for you today. Thats because Elena Scotti, a former advertising entrepreneur who got to know the lobstermen of Mount Desert Island, Maine, while she ran a community center there for three years, has started Lots O Lobstah (LOL for short). You may indeed be tempted to laugh out loud at the fact that shes selling her rolls at city street fairs along with gyro and sausage vendors like this clown, but Scott is truly serious about giving New Yorkers a fresh, truly direct-from-the-sea product. So serious that shes having a small pound in Mount Desert Island ship lobsters to her overnight, so she can stuff split-top buns (also from Maine) with a mix of claw, knuckle, and tail meat. At $15, she says her rolls are cheaper than they are at her suppliers place up north.
Not only that, but in addition to the cold, mayo-slathered variety (no hot butter here), shes experimenting with a spicy New York City roll thats sprinkled with chives and celery rather than parsley, plus another that's dressed with vinaigrette. Ultimately, Scotti is hoping to be chosen as a Parks concessionaire. She tells us shes not that crazy about the food truck craze because of the pollution levels, and adds that her M.O. will be much more low-key and higher quality. For the moment, that means weekend street fairs this Sunday, shell be on Third Avenue between 16th and 17th Streets from 11 a.m. till 4 p.m., and next Saturday shell be at Broadway between Prince and Spring Streets. After that, you can keep up with Lots O Lobstah via Facebook.

Learning Semantic Maps from Natural Language Descriptions
Matthew Walter

Research Scientist

Friday, April 25th, 2014
Abstract: Whether they are providing personalized care, assisting people with cognitive or physical impairments, or carrying out household chores, robots have the potential to improve our quality of life in revolutionary ways. In order to realize this potential, we must develop robots that people can efficiently command and naturally interact with. This interaction demands that robots be able to reason over models of their environments as rich as those of their human partners. However, today's robots understand their environment through representations that are either limited to low-level metric properties or that require domain experts to hard-code higher-level semantic knowledge.
In this talk, I will describe an algorithm that I developed to enable robots to efficiently learn shared cognitive models of their surroundings from a user's natural language descriptions. The novelty lies in inferring spatial and semantic knowledge from these descriptions and fusing this information with the metric measurements from the robot's sensor streams. The method maintains a joint distribution over a hybrid metric, topological, and semantic representation of the environment, which provides a common framework in which to integrate these disparate sources of information. I will demonstrate that the algorithm allows people to share meaningful, human-centric properties of their environment simply by speaking to the robot. I will conclude by describing ongoing efforts in human-robot dialog and planning that build upon this semantic mapping algorithm to enable a voice-commandable wheelchair and other robots to follow free-form spoken instructions.
Bio: Matthew Walter is a research scientist in the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligent Laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His research focuses on probabilistic approaches to perception and natural language understanding that make it possible for robots to work effectively alongside humans. Matthew received his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.

Immigration is one of the most vexing problems in the ever-increasing list of vexing problems in America. It has festered for almost as long as we've been a nation and attempts at reform are as successful as Middle East peace talks. It is the albatross around every president's neck and the cue for every Congress to go on vacation.

I feel for you Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, I really do. Israel is getting its ass bombed off and you are understandably upset, which makes it all the more surprising that your objection to the FAA's no-fly advisory for Ben Gurion is such a big item on your agenda.
Ben Gurion is admittedly the safest airport in the world. El Al is the safest airline. Hell, they even have missile countermeasures — though your spokespeople usually don't explain they are for different kinds of missiles than those from the Hamas Air Force and not nearly as effective as your average military airplane's.
Sometimes People are Dolts: POP Goes the Housing Bubble

Nothing tastes better at this time of year than a sweet-to-eat caramel apple! For our harvest fest, subscriber Karen Ann Bland of Gove, Kansas happily agreed to share her favorite recipe, including instructions on making caramel sauce. "That rich homemade flavor just can't be beat," she says.—Karen Ann Bland, Gove, Kansas

Scientists from the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research (AWI) have identified a possible source of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases that were abruptly released to the atmosphere in large quantities around 14,600 years ago.
According to this new interpretation, the CO2 – released during the onset of the Bølling/Allerød warm period – presumably had their origin in thawing Arctic...
Small volcanic eruptions might eject more of an atmosphere-cooling gas into Earth's upper atmosphere than previously thought, potentially contributing to the recent slowdown in global warming, according to a new study.

Since the 1850's scientists have known that crystalline materials are organized into fourteen different basic lattice structures. However, a team of researchers from Vanderbilt University and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) now reports that it has discovered an entirely new form of crystalline order that simultaneously exhibits both crystal and polycrystalline properties, which they describe as "interlaced crystals."
Writing in the Nov. 14 issue of the journal Nature Communications, the researchers describe finding this unusual arrangement of atoms while studying...
