Craig's Psychological Profile
A holistic reading drawn from your complete birth chart, planets, houses, signs, strengths, yogas, and current life period, cross-referenced and synthesized.
Your dominant Air element drives you toward ideas, communication, and social connection.
Your Cardinal modality means your natural style is initiating - you start things, set direction, and take charge.
Saturn as your dominant planet centers your life around the question: "What do I fear, and what must I master?"
Who Craig Is
Craig, your chart tells a specific story. Your Sun in Leo forms the backbone of your identity - it's the conscious self you're building toward, the version of you that emerges when you're most aligned. Your Moon in Libra reveals your emotional core - what you need to feel safe, how you process feelings, and the private self only close ones see.
At the elemental level, Air energy dominates your chart (36%), giving you a fundamental orientation toward ideas, communication, and social connection. Your Cardinal modality means initiating - you start things, set direction, and take charge.
Saturn (a yoga-forming benefic for Gemini ascendant) is the strongest force in your chart - the planet that colors everything. It governs fears, discipline, and hard-won mastery, and in Libra (house 5), this influence manifests as a deep pull toward intellectual exploration and social connection.
Your dominant Vedic archetype is The Sovereign - Your dominant archetype is The Sovereign (Sun - Surya). Atma - Self/Soul is the strongest force in your chart. Natural authority that inspires without demanding. This is the energy people recognize in you before you say a word.
Your birth star (Swati, Pada 1) is the most personal marker in Vedic astrology - more specific than your Sun or Moon sign. It defines the particular frequency of your soul.

Your Current Period
Based on Ketu in House 2 (neutral)
Ketu operating from your 2nd house in neutral dignity creates a period centered on resource building. This isn't a surface-level phase - the 2nd house governs accumulated wealth, family resources, speech, and personal values.
Your finances is this period's strongest channel, while mental health needs the most attention. The energy Ketu brings from house 2 naturally flows toward finances - consciously redirect some of it toward mental health.
A psychological assessment based on your planetary placements, not what the planets mean, but what they reveal about how you think, feel, defend, and grow.
Your Psychological Profile
This isn't what your planets mean, it's who you are. These six dimensions combine your planetary placements into a genuine psychological picture.
You were born knowing you're supposed to be seen. Not out of vanity, out of a deep sense that your life has a creative purpose. When you're invisible, something feels fundamentally wrong. Recognition isn't ego; it's oxygen.
Your emotional equilibrium depends on the people around you. When relationships are harmonious, you feel balanced. When they're not, everything tilts. You've spent your life learning to keep the peace, sometimes at the cost of your own honest feelings.
The world sees a witty, adaptable communicator. You can talk to anyone about anything. The mask: you sometimes use social skill to avoid the deeper conversations you actually need.
Internal Conflicts Detected
What you want in love (Cancer: emotional depth, security) and how you pursue it (Leo: impulsively, intensely) are mismatched. You chase tenderness with fire.
How Your Inner Forces Interact
Your planets don't operate in isolation, they negotiate, conflict, and amplify each other. These are the key psychological dynamics running inside you.
Who you think you are vs how you actually feel
Your Sun in Leo (Fire) and Moon in Libra (Air) share elemental compatibility. Who you think you are vs how you actually feel, and in your chart, these two functions cooperate rather than compete. Your sense of self and your emotional world speak the same language, which gives you a stable inner foundation that many people lack.
Your romantic desires vs your pursuit style
What you want in love (Cancer: emotional depth, security) and how you pursue it (Leo: impulsively, intensely) are mismatched. You chase tenderness with fire.
What holds you back vs what pushes you forward
Your Saturn in Libra (Air) and Mars in Leo (Fire) share elemental compatibility. Your capacity for discipline and your impulse energy work together rather than fighting. This means you can act decisively AND sustain effort over time, a rare combination that gives you an edge in any long-term endeavor.
Your analytical mind vs your faith system
Your analytical mind (Mercury in Virgo, Earth) and your belief system (Jupiter in Gemini, Air) don't naturally agree. You may find yourself knowing something logically but believing something different emotionally. This tension can make you a complex, nuanced thinker, or someone paralyzed between reason and faith.
Your Psychological Summary
Analyze-and-Rationalize, you process emotions through thinking and talking. Understanding a feeling helps you manage it. The risk: intellectualizing emotions instead of actually feeling them.
Practical Evaluator, you decide based on tangible outcomes, track records, and material evidence. Slow but reliable. You rarely regret decisions because you rarely make impulsive ones.
Your deepest vulnerability is around 'who am I?' Questions of self-worth and visibility touch a nerve. You may overperform to compensate or withdraw to avoid the question entirely.
Your primary growth edge is developing your Sun function, the area where Identity Wound lives. This isn't about fixing a flaw; it's about integrating the part of yourself you've been protecting.

Yoga Interference Analysis
How your yogas interact with each other, reinforcing or creating tension
⚖️ Tension Patterns
Your emotional strength (Dhana Yoga (Fortune)) and emotional vulnerability (Vish Yoga (Moon-Saturn)) coexist through Moon. Under stress, you may withdraw even though you possess deep wisdom. The override: recognize withdrawal as a pattern, not a truth.
Mahabhagya Yoga gives you emotional resilience, but Vish Yoga (Moon-Saturn) creates undercurrents of instability through the same Moon. Your feelings are both your compass and your fog. The practice: observe your moods without being ruled by them.
Your discipline (Raja Yoga (Multiple Strong)) intensifies challenges from Vish Yoga (Moon-Saturn). The same planet that gives you endurance also extends difficult periods. Patience is structural, not optional.
Your authority (Mahabhagya Yoga) conflicts with Gandanta Yoga. Identity strength and identity suppression alternate. The key: consistent self-expression regardless of external validation.
The Sun connects Surya-Mangala Yoga and Gandanta Yoga, creating a dynamic between visibility and self-doubt. Your leadership potential is real, but imposter syndrome or ego inflation can distort it.
Raja Yoga (Multiple Strong) and Gandanta Yoga share the Sun's influence. Your sense of purpose is strong, but it can become either rigid pride or complete self-denial. The middle path: confident humility.
Combined Pattern Insight
Strong elevation potential supported by multiple structural pillars. intellectual firepower amplifies all other patterns. wealth accumulates through long-term strategy rather than sudden gains. emotional depth is both strength and vulnerability. internal tension between power and sensitivity creates depth, not weakness.

Why Craig S. Durand's Chart Stands Out
The chart backs Craig S. Durand’s public standing with Bhadra Yoga through Mercury. Saturn is the chart’s strongest planet by Shadbala at 80 percent, giving discipline, labour, delay, and lasting structures unusual weight in how this life expresses itself. The 10th house in Pisces under Jupiter frames the public career.
Planetary Dominance In Craig S. Durand's Chart
| Rank | Planet | Shadbala | Classification |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Saturn | 80% | moderate |
| 2 | Jupiter | 72% | weak |
| 3 | Rahu | 66% | weak |
| 4 | Moon | 65% | weak |
| 5 | Venus | 60% | weak |
| 6 | Mercury | 53% | very weak |
| 7 | Mars | 51% | very weak |
| 8 | Ketu | 51% | very weak |
| 9 | Sun | 46% | very weak |
Saturn dominates the planetary hierarchy at 80 percent of full Shadbala, so the chart leads with endurance; gains are slow, structural, and unusually durable.
Sun is the least supported at 46 percent, which means confidence and standing with authority figures need deliberate cultivation.
Rare Planetary Combinations
Mercury and Saturn stand exalted at the same time; most charts carry at most one exalted planet.
Mercury qualifies for Bhadra Yoga: exalted in the 4th house, one of the five Mahapurusha marks of an exceptional nativity.
