Namaste Susan,

Firstly some Indian numerology.

Personality number is 29 reducing to 2 which is ruled by the Moon. people born on 29th of the month have a warlike nature and conflict may be common place to you.

Your Name number is 20 which is again related to the Moon This means your personality goals will be successful because your name aligns with it. You gain success through your own as well as the efforts of the Divine and there will be the capacity to work with the masses (public).

Destiny Number is 5 ruled by Jupiter. This means you have an active and expansive nature and as Jupiter is guru to the gods it also inclines you to be a teacher as a part of your destiny.

Astrological Reading

You have an Aries ascendant which is the positive sign of Mars, Cardinal Fire, the head of the Cosmic man. This influence makes you headstrong and intelligent and may lead to impulsive and impatient behaviours. You are very good thinker and have strong opinions. You are something of a crusader but it is normally for your family. You would need to be careful of injuries given Mars is so central to your chart. I think you would have gained many knocks to the head, particularly in childhood.

You are very assertive and are quite capable and desirous of going after what you want. You have a lot of initiative and lo behold anyone who gets in your way! There is a very strong desire nature that could get you into trouble at times so patience and practicing contentment may be a good remedy during the times when you are in danger of burning yourself out.

In terms of the energetics of your chart you are mainly motivated by the search for Truth and the urge to do your duty. The ned for compensation and pleasure are more secondary motivations. Water and fire are the strongest elements in your chart and this means relationships, the mind and a strong ego are central to your makeup. You are a leader, highly intelligent perceptive and opinionated and you may have a strong interest in psychology and the subconscious.

Materially your Arian nature signifies you are someone with an intelligent approach to life and you would be good at investigative and research roles. You have commonsense in abundance. I don't think you would lose it easily on an emotional level and your desires would focus on material security. You would be quite fiery where criticism is concerned.Your emotions are mostly invested in your vocation and yet your mother has been influential in the work you do. Your emotions are a powerful influence in your life.

Having a Budhaditya yoga indicates you have great learning ability, tremendous will, perception and intelligence.

Looking now at the overall timelines in your life. From birth to age 4 your family may have been in some turmoil due to your father.

From age 4 to 21 was a time of tremendous activity, focused on the fulfillment of your desires and the urge to be recognised. There was a lot of ambition thru study and this may have affected your health at times because you were so driven. There would have been emotional problems that resulted in some form of illness due to Mars ruler ship of the 8th house of chronic illness. Age 21 would have been a particularly difficult time for you.

At 22 you came into your own and would have experienced much more happiness in the home, in fact you may have married at this time. Any problems in study would have been resolved up to the current time. There may be losses of an emotional kind in this phase but there will be protection and healing influences to help you over them. Until the age of 38 many blessings will flow to you.

From the age of 38 to 55 you may experience many challenges which will impact on your health and luck. The essential influence of Saturn is to humble us in preparation for "higher" duties and leadership and I believe this is the experience you will have during this period. From 56 to 74 your leadership skills, intelligence and past life credit will emerge to make you a teacher in groups, particularly in the health field.

In the latter years of your life you may find enjoyment in taking a low key and supportive role in your domestic environment following a successful career. You may be relatively invisible during this phase of your life but your perceptions of a psychic nature may be sought by others.

Having glanced at the overall tenor of your life we will now look at the specifics.

Health

Your constitution is quite strong You may have suffered from sudden accident as a child, especially banging your head and having nose bleeds. You have a fiery constitution and this means the main expression of disease will be through fevers, rashes, cuts and bruises. Rahu's presence in the 1st house adds an airy quality that may express itself as nerve problems particularly in childhood.

Your stamina is good but you may have digestive problems as the 6th house is in Virgo which rules the intestines. There may be distention or gas problems in the digestive system especially when you are worried or mentally stressed which would be fairly often unless you have addressed it through stress management techniques. Some problems in your emotional health due to Mercury's influence causing communication difficulties with siblings/groups.

Emotions

Relationships are very important to you and there is a lot of communication and activity in this regard in your life. I suspect you have a close knit family of whom you are very protective and emotional problems would arise in this arena. there may be anger in the home and this would damage the loving relationships which may become a little harsh. However, there is a lot of positive sentiment and the home is a cent re of learning and growth for you. Your emotional life is also expressed through your work and your workmates are like a second family to you.

Mental Nature

Your intelligence is very acute and being very perceptive you would want to share your insights with others. This may at times bring you into conflict if there is a lack of subtlety in your sharing. Your intellectual skills may have been unrecognised or unaffirmed by your father and this could have left you with some self-doubt about your abilities. There need be no doubt!

Relationships

Children

There may be few children due to the Sun's presence in the 5th house. Those there are would be intelligent, creative communicators and leaders expressing their skills in a practical manner.., there may be a special son. I don't know if you have children but it is likely one could have been born in 1993 and again one in the next 3 years. A girl may be born between January, 1997 and September, 1999, and a son in the following year. The girl would be like your mother.

Father

A man who enjoys social life, dutiful and attaining a high position. Generally a good relationship with him but some conflict on the intellectual level and a sense of emotional loss due to his authoritarianism.

Mother

Very good mother and spiritually oriented, interested in the arts and creative expression with a sensuous nature, very gentle and loving. She has had hidden problems and grown from them. Both parents would have been traditional authority figures.

Husband

Your husband may be involved in a profession like the police, military. Certainly athletic, fit and strong. At times seeming distant and hard to know he has a spiritual orientation of his own and has good discernment. You could have married at 22 or 29. he has an appreciation of culture and the arts and may be quite sensual and lies the good life. Possibly more like your mother than your father.

While you are an intellectual mars type he is a physical mars type. You express force through your mind while he does so at the physical level and I feel there is a strong sensual bond.

Siblings/Friends

Any younger siblings are quite intelligent and academic while older ones may be quite severe and authoritarian. Your friendships are very strong and you tend to give your all to them. You are the center of your friendship circle.

Work and career

As I said earlier your work is with the public and brings you into the limelight. It is very central to your happiness and after some struggles you will fulfil your desires and receive the recognition that will make you content. Forceful, ambitious and enterprising in your profession. You have good luck and you make it yourself but it comes in phases. You may struggle if you try to make money through speculation on the stock market. Your ambitions and desires will bear fruit after some struggle.

Vehicles & Property

You own nice cars, housing and property has come to you quite readily, especially between 1989 and 2002. Did you buy a house between ages 24 & 27?

Spirituality

The Moon is very central to your spirituality as it is your Atmakaraka, the signifier of your Soul. I believe your spiritual nature will be expressed in a devotional form and that you would be attracted to worship of the Goddess (Shakti) in some form like Mother Mary, Laksmi.Your form of worship would be very heart based. Jupiter and the Moon consistently come together in the various charts in your horoscope and they are both very good planets for you. You have a very well developed spiritual nature and your spiritual aspirations will be reached.

One of your lessons in life is to be more detached and discerning in your relationships. Ego is a danger that could cloud your perceptions. This has been brought over from previous lives and you are also learning the lesson of controlling your force so it doesn't hurt others This attracts forceful people into your life with you have have to deal. harsh speech may give people the wrong impression of you. There will be challenges ahead that are designed to humble you, to help you open to you spiritual perceptions which are currently latent but apart of your poorva punya (karmic credit)

Remedial Measures

Your chart can be strengthened in various ways. The safest way is to propitiate the deities of the planets as this helps to remove their negative influence and strengthen their beneficial influence. It is also good to wear the gemstone of the planets ruling your benefic houses.

Mercury is combust and ruling two evil houses so he is really suffering. This affects your relationship with your siblings and your health. The mantra "Om Budhaya Namaha" can be said 108 times on a rosary on a Wednesday to help strengthen this planets energies in your life. As it rules 2 difficult houses I wouldn't wear the Mercury gemstone (emerald) as it could have a negative influence. I wouldn't be surprised to hear you have communication difficulties on Wednesdays.

The planetary influences you could strengthen through gems are the Moon and Jupiter. As I said these are severally joined as spiritual indicators throughout your chart and I believe you could wear one or both of them. There are specific rituals to follow when you first put on a ring and if you would like some information then I am happy to advise you. Jupiter's stone is yellow sapphire which is quite expensive. You would wear it in a gold ring on the right hand index finger ensuring the stone touched your skin. Substitute stones are topaz and citrine. For the Moon one wears a pearl or moonstone in silver. On a day to day level spiritual practices involving worship of your chosen deity are helpful.

Susan I hope that this reading will be of help to you. If some comments don't resonate for you they are either inaccurate or yet to be recognised. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
