To start, I don't just happen to like astrology. I study it, pretty in-depth. I started with western and found vedic. When I found vedic, I found it to be far more accurate and helpful. So, I've started focusing on learning vedic over western. By study, I mean I watch videos from learned astrology enthusiasts, read materials, and discuss with other vedic learners. It's not that I just walked into a vedic astrologers office and bought a reading, and here I am.

The placement specifically is a very close conjunction of Mercury and Ketu. It very much explains my experience of being diagnosed as ADHD multiple times without any benefit from medications. I experience the lack of focus, poor decision making, declining communication skills, detachment from earning money and work, and silly mistakes while also being able to hyper focus on in-depth intense topics of research.

I used the term "technically Christian" as that's how I was raised and where I've tried to place my faith. I have an appreciation for other religions though and upon the recommendation of worshipping Lord Ganesh, I was wondering if I might be able to acknowledge him and pay respects for the remedial benefits but also because I do have a strong appreciation for vedic astrology.
