[quote="asro"]...bcos i havent mastered the art of writing (u see my Mer heavily afflicted and so is Jup :-( .. )
and in addition the dear Rah really fools the mind with its close conjuction.
and corrupt imagination eh !! thats all wht Rah is doin ;)
or on the other hand the Sat (the sanatan one) wit jup hold my dhi goin even lil astray :D
But the sat in 7th house in the *WEST* seat of power (drigbal) shall make the native work hard .. or wishes the native must work hard --> as result/or to balance some past karmas ... might be the native wont be optimistic (unlike with Jup ) .. but shall tend to be tenacious ..

Maybe I am intruding into a private exchange but there are some discordant notes that brought me out of my shell ...
and some of it may go counter to astro-LOGIC as we have been told to accept lock, stock and barrel!
Mercury as expression, particularly *writing*
Rahu as the agent that fools the mind!
Optimism as the sine qua non of Jupiter (in jyotish!)
And DIKBALI (directional strength!) saturn being the sine qua non for hard work and a 'beaver-like' personality!
Please humour me as you read the following!
Those who read the masterpieces by Arthur Conan Doyle (Sherlock Holmes books!) would know that when Sherlock was stuck often he relied on the nearly invisible little boy (Martin? For some reason that name springs forth?) who for a piece of silver or whatever would bring the information to Holmes that Sherlock could not otherwise get and the little urchin (mercury) could, inconspicuously, but did not care what the information was about! The little tyke had full trust in what he was doing, in Sherlock and was assured of the payment!
Rahu (and his tail end -- ketu) was perhaps not trying to trick anyone? Perhaps when the Vishnu-chakra came by slicing him, maya vanished and he realized the reality and woke up! Contact with Gods would do that
Yes Rahu would in some case feel betrayed and used and angry but it is not about maya but seeing through maya, once Vishnu's symbolic chakra that awakens cuts through the 'crap'!
And good old saturn? Dik bali planets are special because they have found their direction, their alignment as to where they should be heading! Makes sense?? No matter how accomplished and bright and gifted and truly deserving of all their glory individuals with saturn in 7th are, the best ones have a wonderful presence. They by natural selection find that there are experiences around them, affecting them and others that teach humility and pragmatism.
Sometimes 'service' that saturn is attributed with alone is not enough! Humility is not negative always! In one example very crudely as shared with me during my jyotish journey was that of a paeditrician. She was called to see an infant who was in a building away from where the hi-fi modern services existed. This gifted, very highly placed and a beautiful soul, knew what needs to be done! She picked up the infant, like a mother would and literally ran over to the other facility where she then proceeded to revive the infant and all propriety and ego and administrative paperwork could wait! Service? Urgent response? The perfect sense of direction and what needs to be done? ...
