As always don’t take examples in their total literal value, my objective was to give an idea about what I’m trying to say to my readers. Many permutations and combinations are possible with different planets. The base is if you understand how to see those things, those possible possibilities by these astrology pattern and planets my work is DONE!
“If Sun influences the so called conditions the gain of wealth must be predicted through father, if it is Moon from mother, Mar - from enemy, Mercury - friend, Jupiter - brother, Venus - women, and for Saturn - servant. OR through lord of navamsa occupied by the lord of the 10th, from birth, the Moon or the Sun.”
When we think about career and try to investigate the future possibilities of our To Be profession, it is the most tough thing to do whether we try to find it through our interest, skills and passion OR through Astrology. Go through astrology and you get verses like one given above in even most of the authoritative jyotisha texts.
The other verses do give some other details like, Sun - working for king or government, Jupiter - with priests, Saturn - Low services. But YES in the End, even they don’t make sense, and this is due to, we are not able connect it to any possible profession we know for today. I had a same confusion that how some one figure it out, How the astrologer out there DO this thing - Career prediction.
I only got out of these confusions, when I split the whole what is resembled by words like, CAREER, PROFESSION, JOB and INCOME.
The first fact which is most clear is your PROFESSION and your INCOME are two different things to consider. Keeping it simple for astrology it is 10th house and 2nd house matters respectively.
So in astrology I think every wise astrologer out there knows that WHAT YOU DO has nothing to do with HOW MUCH MONEY YOU MAKE.
Money if in terms of INCOME is the matter of 2nd house and if in terms of GAINS is the matter of 11th house.
So what we are interested now is 10th house.
The very important mystery about 10th house is, people do believe it is a house of profession, status, name, etc. But never thinks why it is so. Astrologically speaking 10th house is highest position in the sky when your are born with your POV. Meaning if any planet is placed in 10th house it will be right on the top of you in sky, like the Sun of 12 o clock at noon.
So like the Sun of 12 noon which very bright, most vibrant in rays and fully blazing in visibility, so is the 10th house. Your 10th house is What people will know about you, What people will see you as. If you look in any society, an individual is known mostly by his profession, like people say, he is a doctor, he is a lawyer, Oh he is rich business man.
So now that you know basic idea about 10th house, we can move forward towards..
Predicting Career through 10th house
Even after we know that we have to concentrate on 10th house for matters related to career like profession, career path and nature of work. There are still lots and lots of confusions.
Most of the texts on vedic astrology says, “look for the planet in 10th house to know about career. If there are more than one planets in 10th, look for the strongest. If there are no planets, look the 10th lord placement in rasi and navamsa chart. And observe 10th from Lagna, Moon and Sun, the strongest of all should be considered.”
My point is WHAT to look and HOW to look ?
So I have researched and listed down some basic rules which I think will be very helpful to keep things simple, and investigate 10th house.
Rule # 1 :
See the nature of profession from planets in 10th house and planets influencing 10th house like aspecting it.
else (if no planets influence 10th)
Then the nature of profession will be directly related to 10th lord’s house placement and 10th lord’s company of conjunction (if he is in conjunction).
For example - if Strong exalted Sun is in 10th house, a person even if employed will command an authoritative position in his company.
Rule # 2 :
See How the work is performed by placement of 10th lord. (meaning the efficiency, accuracy, neatness, openly, secretly basically how the work is performed by native.)
For example - if 10th lord is placed in 3rd house, the work is performed by some brave and mass addressing deeds. It can be anything like advertising for your services or doing YouTube (open media). OR even if you scale it small it can also be presenting presentations for your meeting.
If such 10th lord is place in 8th, the nature of work turn secretive.
10th lord in 10th turns the reflective image of work or job to be more open.
In 7th it is more about significant others around you, like your work will be dedicated towards enhancing the work of others around you.
Rule # 3 :
Form the planets placed is or influencing 10th house from navamsa, we get idea about how your work is delivered or how it is received at the other end.
For example - Strong Mars influencing 10th from Rasi chart means nature of work will be like something which is done by self, by self efforts (a person offering it) and if the 10th from navamsa is influenced by Saturn, same work will be served as service like plumber’s service. And if said 10th from navamsa is influenced by Sun such a work may be served to authorities like government. Example can be fire-fighter or policeman.
What about looking 10th from different standpoints likes - Lagna, Moon and Sun ?
I will say you have to understand why we look from different prospective at the first place. YES it is true what is given in shastras that strong of all should by considered.
But see, we look mainly for OUTWARD manifestation of our profession (the 10th from Lagna), what we SEE ourselves AS with respect to our profession is (the 10th from Moon), and how our work in turn effects our self or soul and CHANGES US TO is (the 10th from Sun).
ALL the point of views are important, and YES the one which is very strong will display to the higher degrees, BUT all will continue to remain.
So concluding on this, I will advise to see 10th from all the standpoints, Lagna, Moon and Sun. See if same planets tends to rule or influence the 10th, then the effect of that planet on type of profession be will higher OR that planet can be contributing more in career defining.
Putting all rules together in example :
If the Moon sits in 10 house of Rasi influence by Jupiter. The type of profession can be related to moon. And even the persons outward nature will be soft (triad of Moon), and it will be more refined by Jupiter’s triads like generosity, kindness and confidence unless the Jupiter is himself afflicted or with Rahu. If 10th lord in such case is in Ascendant the work temperament and qualities like confidence and strong belief in self are more enhanced.
On the other hand side which is NAVAMSA, if 10th is influenced by Rahu person may deal in drugs and needle related work like medical surgeon or working in pharmacy sector. If 10th is influenced by Rahu and Mercury both now a person can work for IT segment, specially the internet related stuffs as Mercury Rules Information technology and Rahu also represents invisible things like Internet.
If the said 10th is influenced by Venus if strong, the work delivered can be appealing and fulfilling to recipient.
Another things which can be noted are, 10th from Moon if influenced by planets like Mars and Sun, person observe himself to be confidant and outwardly. And he is to some or the more extent.
If in 10th from Sun there is Jupiter, person experiences inner self growth with work.
Predicting Ups and Downs in career
This is one of the top grossing sections of the queries for any astrologer making predictions. When will I get good Job ? I’m unemployed looking for job, what are astrological indications for it ? When will I be financially stable ? When will I hit the promotion ? and the similar kind of Questions.
The rise or fall in career is a deep matter, because of the intensity of effects it brings. Not only it will affect your career but even your lifestyle by hampering or increasing income, it affects you by affecting Ascendant(lagna) meaning affecting person on physical and psychological levels. YES it affects relationships (7th house) too and general harmony in living space (4th house).
How to predict RISE and Fall in career and life by astrology ?
The ANSWER to these questions is very simple. The auspicious time brings upliftment in life and the tough time brings challenges or even downfall in life, but the intensity of results (Good or Bad) out of these TIME flow depends on the SELF and awareness of the individual bearer of that time. What I’m meaning to say is if you are not ready for upcoming time the consequences are worst in any case - (1) If it is a Bad time then you take a worst hit of time, if not prepared for it. (2) If it is Good time and you are not prepared for it, you are unable ripe maximum fruits of your good fortune.
Astrologically, auspicious yogas like angle-trine yogas (Raja yogas), trine-trine yogas when activated in Maha Dasha and Antar Dasha together brings the time which uplifts you in career and also in life (lifts your general status). But almost half of the Raja yogas requires Lagna lord and Moon to be strong brings our attention to how important it is for ourself to be capable mentally(moon) and physically(lagna) to get good results from auspicious yogas.
For example - if a person runs a Maha Dasha of a planet forming Raja yoga in birth chart and Antar Dasha of another planet forming raja yoga, such kind of combined uplifting effects causes very fruitful time for rise in career and fulfilment. The said planets should not be reduced in their result giving capacity by any means.
Extra insights from Dasamsa chart (D-10)
To predict profession specific good time from Dasamsa chart (D-10) - See which planets are in good houses of dasamsa, like planets in angles and trine houses of D-10. See the strength of such planets in D-10 like in Exaltation, own sign or Vargottama for dasamsa (same sign in D-1 and D-10). The Maha dasha and antar dasha of such planets can prove beneficial for profession specific success.
The reverse for these rules is true as well. Same as Bad or inauspicious yogas bring tough time and struggles, the planet placed in bad houses or having not so good dasamsa conditions bring difficulties in career and job.
