-----------------------------------------------

Gemini rising as per #Vedic.

Mercury is in the 4^th H, sitting along with the 6^th & 11^th House ruler Mars, in the sign Virgo.

Moon (the 2^nd H ruler) is sitting in the 10^th H in Pisces and Moon is in mutual-opposition-aspect with the Mercury-Mars pair in the 4^th H.

This strong confluence of energy of planets ruling important houses (1^st , 4^th, 2^nd and 11^th ) on the 4^th H-10^th H axis is a great great combination for making someone become the king of an empire. This also promises him to be highly resourceful. He may have had very good early school education.  

  

This also hints that he may have received a very strong influence of mother on his personality. He may have inherited leadership skills from his mother.

He has the ability to understand the minute details of things (Mars rules the 6^th H also, and Mars-Mercury pair in the 4^th H with Moon in the 10^th H is giving him great promises, as we discussed above).

Mars is also seeing the 11^th H.

He knows the art of handling the economic-distribution network (11^th H) for marketing any product internationally, and to generate huge wealth (2^nd  H) out of it and creating great visible leadership role for himself (10^th H) and creating his own empire where he is the king (4^th H).

The 6^th H rulership of Mars, who is involved in this powerful axis formed by Mercury-Mars & Moon also explains his interest in the #Health sector. The fact that Mars-Mercury are in Virgo sign is further making that interest even more strong. Rahu in the 6^th H in Scorpio also is a hint towards that. Rahu in the 6^th H in Scorpio means that he is not the one who will shy away from any kind of fighting or competition and he can use secret planning and plotting in his fights to gain upper hand against his rivals.

Strong Mercury in the 4^th H  – he may be a hungry for reading books. He may maintain a library at home.He may have very good skills with language. He may also possess very good skills in Mathematics. He may be good in Logic – all these skills are very important for anyone who wants to take up #computer programming seriously.

He can be very critical of others, and highly driven for material achievements, and can be #combative if needed (Mars-Mercury in Virgo).

--------------------------------------------------

7^th H ruler Jupiter is in Leo  in the 3^rd H (language, including computer language), and seeing 11^th H (gains, distribution network), 7^th H (partnership, marriage also) and 9^th H (luck).

So he has great luck in partnering  (7^th H) with others for making huge gains (11^th H) by creating a world-wide-distribution network (11^th H) for his WINDOW operating system (3^rd H) – and that became his career (Jupiter also rules the 10^th H).

But, Mars is 6^th H ruler and also seeing the 7^th H, so breaking partnerships, and making new partners is very common for him  – and he does that for benefiting from these things and fulfilling his ambitions. (as Mars rules the 11^th H also and is seeing the 11^th H). 

So he can break partnerships or agreements or contracts [without remorse], to gain more profits. And marriage is also a kind of partnership, but he has been enjoying stable marriage till now because of the Jupiter's influence on his 7^th H which may be given to him and his wife the wisdom to manage their areas of conflict and disagreement with wisdom.

In 1970, he (he was only 15 year old) and his partner Allen earned $20,000 by developing a computer program “Traf-O-Data” that monitored Seattle Traffic Pattern. He was running Mercury main period at that time. But later he broke partnership with Allen when their company Microsoft became big because they had developed strain in the relation over equity of the Microsoft. This benefited Gates, as he could now be the sole boss of Microsoft. He has similarly made many partnerships and came out of them. 

May be, since he has been breaking business partnerships, so the energy of the 6^th H ruler Mars' influence on his 7^th H is getting spent, and his marriage has been spared from breaking. 

--------------------------------------------------

5 planets – Jupiter, Sun, Venus, Saturn, Mars – are directly seeing (vedic aspect) the 11^th  H in his horoscope – such a person is destined to rule the economic-distribution-networks (international market) of the world.

3 planets – Sun, Venus, Saturn in the 5^th  H in Libra.

Among them, Venus is 5^th H (creative, intelligence) and 12^th H (out-of-the world idea) ruler and sitting in the 5^th  H, sitting in very close conjunction with Saturn who rules 8^th  H (under-the table-deals, secrets, manipulation, transformations) and 9^th H (luck, higher knowledge and understanding). 

The 3^rd  H ruler Sun is also sitting in the 5^th H (great creativity in communication). 

He is the king of the market. He can manipulate demand. He is the master advertiser. He is a master of business and economic game of politics, speculation and manipulating demands. 

He has great creativity and very highly intelligent – has the understanding of both the product development and is also master corporate-strategist. 

---------------------------------------------------

Except for Moon (who is in the 10^th  H), all planets are in between 1^st  H to 7^th  H – the invisible part of the zodiac – so he can do things without his acts getting visible (an essential requirement for success in large scale business).

--------------------------------------------------

His business began to evolve from around 1975 when he started Ketu Maha-Dasha.

It flourished in Venus main period between 1982 and 2002. 

 

Struggled a bit in the Sun main period between 2002 and 2008 -  mainly due to mobile revolution and Windows gradually loosing relevance, window phones could not find success, partnership with Nokia also did not help. Sun is placed in Libra in the 5^th H, Sun debilitates in Libra (though Saturn and Venus present in Libra are negating the debilitation of Sun to some extent).

Moon main period ran between 2008 and 2018, he may have done his deep research on what should now be his next business move (Moon is in Uttara-Bhadrapada nakshatra, who is ruled by the serpent of the deep sea).

And now he is running the main period of Mars (6^th  H and 11^th  H ruler), sitting in the 4^th  H in Virgo with Mercury – opposing Moon. 

6^th  H and 11^th H are two of the most malefic houses in any horoscope. Mars rules both. Mars is therefore one of the most negative planets in his horoscope.

 Mars is sitting in his 4^th  H (empire, mental and emotional peace).

 

Mars is worst enemy of Mercury (his ascendant ruler) and sitting with Mercury. 

So Mars main period can be very challenging for him. Mars is seeing the 7^th H, so that can be little difficult time for his partnerships (and even marriage).

If he choose to serve (6^th  H) the humanity, he may save himself, else his urge to earn profits and trying to gain in life by manipulate the market (11^th H )… it may destabilize his foundation (being the 6^th  H ruler, Mars is sitting in the 4^th H ).

.

Mars main-period can certainly harm his popularity (Moon), and may cause great harm to his physical-well-being and overall persona (as Mars is conjunct with the ascendant ruler Mercury). 

He may himself suffer from the health issues related the stomach or chest area. He may also develop some problem in his hands, as Mars is placed in the Hasta nakshatra. He may have to suffer from anger issues too, and may be some problem to his wife and children as well.

All the present difficult transits are happening in Capricorn (his 8^th  H) – he should actually be very careful.

He should worship Lord Hanuman and adopt the attitude of self-less service like Hanuman.
