Hi everyone, I'm still here, but I've been working all week and finally have some relaxing time on my weekend. I really appreciate what's been going on here, given my chart and my (often) confusing and strange questions.

When I was asking for lord of geniture, I was mostly curious about how older techniques in Western astrology might view my natal chart, but it seems my preference for the Vedic side wins out (or shows itself) every time lol

I would be happy to provide any extra birth information, should anyone require it.

Planetary strength is one of my favorite topics in astrology, especially in Vedic because I believe it's one of the most defining static traits of a native (not including different periods).

Speaking for myself (as can be seen from my chart), I feel very strongly for Venus and Mercury the most. Saturn, I also feel very strongly, even without taking into consideration the finer points of planetary strength.

I don't think its considered significant in planetary strength (or perhaps it is), but my Atmakaraka (the chara-) is the Sun.

Of all the planets that I've noticed that have played the strongest and most consistent roles throughout my life were Venus (especially Venus rx, which is a particularly long story) and Mercury.

I've always been a bit on the fence about whether or not I considered the nodes as "dominant" planets, even though I recognize their strengths (Rahu especially, in my case), unless someone thinks differently and can persuade me otherwise.

Also, I've been researching Shadbala and how to calculate it and I'm....at a loss for words on how complicated it is. I would love to know which planets may be in this category, but I have no way of calculating that at this time. Would anyone happen to suggest any place that may offer Shadbalas?
