Source & honesty note
CONVENTION — a widely-used name for the Jupiter–node conjunction; read as unconventional wisdom that can challenge faith and judgement until matured.
Tendency-scoped reading only: a dosha is a factor to weigh, not a verdict on a life. Cancellation and remediation depend on the whole chart and are traditionally assessed by a qualified astrologer.
