My name is Renee Angela Polcaro
I was born on April 29th, 1983
took my first breath at 8:31am EST at a hospital in
Stoneham, Massachusetts, USA

I have a friend... his name is Rob

He was born September 3rd 1976 at 11am
and I've assumed he was also born in Stoneham since we grew up in neighboring towns.  

Anyway, I've been helping him in some psychospiritual way that I don't really understand.  

I guess I would like to know if this is as important as I feel it to be.

I'm not sure if I am asking too much with this reading in the astrology section.  If this is so - then another reading would suit me as well - life path as a healer or any intuitions into past life in my chart

I am also interested in points in my chart such as Juno, Pallas, Ceres, Vesta, Chiron my true node and my decantes

Any of these would be very cool to gain some insight on as they aren't easy to find out about.  My chart is pretty interesting in that all my close planets lie in a camp inside my 12th house, where my true node is as well.  my sun lies just beyond this in the 11th.  The far planets are all opposite this in my 6th house and are all retrograde.  All of those are below the horizon aside from Neptune.  The only points that dwell anywhere near my MC and IC are Juno and Pallas and perhaps Ceres - I am not sure...

As you can tell this reading is not very urgent - and there are many ways you could answer it.  I am hoping this feeds the discussion atmosphere and is the quality of question you had in mind.

(Though I could have been less verbose in the way I asked it...=/ )

Hi TaurusGemini429.  Saw that you were from Stoneham, which is not too far from Worcester county, where I'm at.  Your question is, unfortunately, outside my area of expertise, but at least by responding this will bump it and hopefully the vedic astro moderator will be able to help.

Hi Renee,
firstly, welcome to the forum
i am sure u will get some answers while you are here, but i had like to tell u might figure that vedic astrology works in relatively different ways than u've imagined..
for start, there isn't really a lot of emphasis on Juno, Pallas, Ceres, Vesta, Chiron and other things that are hot topic in western astrology...
but, keep an open mind and u just might get more than u bargained for, meanwhile, it would be helpful if u can detail a bit more abt the psychospiritual issues ur frnd's been having and how u r dealing with it and any problems that have come along with them or otherwise...

regards
sahil

thank you friends

and yes - I am in essex county, I believe - not too far from you

also, I am interested in learning more about Vedic astrology - I just input my birth data into the free software and it was so interesting.  I really like it - I am going to start learning from my book I bought on Vedic astrology.  I found it complicated when I first bought it but now I know more so perhaps it won't be.

Are the charts rendered all that differently?

again my ayanamsa issue bothers me
but nevertheless, all ayanamsas gave me these details with minute variations in degrees (western ephemeris will give nodes  in 12th)

asc : gemini
rahu in ascedent,ketu in saggitarius, mars+sun in aries, mercu+venus in taurus, saturn in libra, jup+moon in scorpio

this gives you a rather headstrong ?? (really)
and running ketu dasa, gives you association with much elder person of opposite sex and you will be leading/guiding him

jup+moon in 6th (gajakesari yoga) gives you good job (10th lord in 6th) but 7th lord in 6th and ketu viewed by saturn from 5th gives seperations is love affairs, delay in finding right partner, misjudgement etc

exalted sun makes you fearless , mars in 11th also

money will never stay with you. i mean you will never save much.

anything else you want to know ?
