Observations On

Livelihood - 1By

Nandakishor ShrikrishnaJakatdar, India.

arma in the 21st century has been

redefined as ones job or business

that a person does for hislivelihood. And as this aspect (of

job and business) is to be analysed,

astrologer has to concentrate on 10th house

of the subject. This is because 10th house is

the house of karma wherein Karma is

defined as the action we do in this life.

Sun, Mercury, Jupiter, and Saturn are its

lords (karaks). Sun is the karaka(indicator) of soul (aatma) and also

attributes decision making power (to the

subject). Mercury is karaka (indicator) of

intellect, business, and mathematics.

Jupiter indicates knowledge and savings

while Saturn is a karaka for services and

efforts. All these give a hint about karma.

In todays world service or job is not a bigcrisis with the boom in economy by virtue

of Globalization. Subjects expectations/

ambitions get enhanced during the work

and they (expectations / ambitions) urge

him to make a shift in job. So in this

article we will ponder upon the issue of

job change and getting a job / service. In

turn we have to first examine whether a

chart indicates business or job (service) for

the subject. In short we have to decide

initially, whether the chart belongs to

Movable (cardinal/chara) type or Fixed (immovable/sthira) type or the mutable (dual

natured/dwiswabhava) type. We can predict accurately about the timing of getting a job

from the age of planet and the house. But while applying below given rules we should

remember these 5 basic points:

1. Whether planet is in his own house?

2. Which are the aspects received by planet?3. Combination (yoga) of planet with other (planet)

4. The placement of planet (with friend or enemy).

5. The condition (avastha) of planet.

Along with these rules, by taking into consideration the transit (gochar) planets and

mahadasha, antardasha and pratyantardasha, we can predict accurate job timings after

having acquired some experience.

Some of the steps that are to be followed are given below which in no uncertain terms arefixed rules but to arrive at a conclusion one needs to amalgamate everything and then

predict:

I. To begin with the analysis, examine ascendant (first house), 10th house and the 7th

house. Also give equal attention to 2nd & 6th house as complimentary houses (to 1st, 4th

and 7th).

II. In order to decide which business subject can take up, we have to see planets in 10 H

and 10 L as well. If those planets are connected / related with the 3H, 7H or labh house(11H), then subject should venture into corresponding business.

III. If subject want to decide about a business or a service, one should examine the relation and

conjunction of 2H, 6H, 10H, 10L and lord of ascendant.

IV. One should evaluate the relation / combination of lord of ascendant and 10L. Line of

thinking should be decided as per the (element or tattva of) sign under which, this

combination has happened. Time period should be approximated as per the age of

planet.V. Subject will do business if 10L or 10H itself is under the cardinal sign (Chara rasi). On

the other hand if they are under the fixed signs subject should go for job option. When

10H or 10L is in mutable sign, subject will do both i.e. service (job) as well as business

in his lifetime. Suppose for e.g. 10H is Sthira Rasi (fixed) and lord in a chara rasi, then

in the period of lord of that Sthira Rasi he will do business and in the period of the

fixed sign he will do job.

VI. Subject experiences abrupt changes or hurdles / problems in the job, if Rahu or Ketuor Uranus is present in 10H. 1

1Publisher: We have found this particular rule working quite well in practice.

Significant PointsAsc, Rashi & 10H are the 3 pivots here; their lords are of extreme importance in timing job.

One always has to look at the 3 together for timing jobs. If anyone of them comes in the

picture of Maha, Antar or in rare cases Pratyantar also then job gained is assured depending

on the condition of the 3, the first 5 basic points supersedes, the way dasa supersedes transits.

Now the age of job gain, this can either be first job or a significant job in ones career.

You would observe that 3 planets have been given double years; many of us do not know

how to use these 2 sets of years. If you observe 3 planets Jup, Saturn & Mars are given 2 sets

of years; well it is these 3 planets only that have been ascribed special aspects by the sages

hence 2 sets of years to these three. If such a planet is swagrahi (own house), in moola

trikona rasi of his or in friends house then take the 1st set of year. Meaning say Jupiter is in

Sagittarius then it would give result at the age of 16 rather than 28. Lets take another

example

Step 1: Observe Asc Lord

Step 2: Observe Rasi Lord

Step 3: Observe 10th Lord

Here 10L is debilitated so ignore it for now,

Lagna lord is Mer (32 yrs) with exalted

Sun and Rasi Lord is Sun (22 yrs) who is

Exalted with LL & in a Mahabhagya

Yoga. So out of the 3 Pivots as discussedearlier Sun rules whose age is 22. At the

age of 22 this native did an education in

Film Production & within 3 months of his

22nd year completion he got his 1stJob. Also

at the age of 32 he got a big break in career

as expected. To be continued

Venus joining Rahu/Ketu/Mars in Leo willlead to utter disappointment in married life.

And possibly a great misfortune by separation

or early loss of spouse an R. Santhanam

saying

Examples:

1) Canadian-American actress and dancer

Ruby Keeler has Venus Rahu in 2H of familyin Leo, she married twice & received ridicule

& denigration from 1 st marriage. Her data:

25th Aug 1904, 4.00 am Halifax, Canada,

21Cn Lagna.

2) Same is the case of the Peter Lawford,

brother in law of President John F Kennedy

who had 4 marriages, 2 of them lasting 2 to 8

months. His data 7th Sept 1923, 8.00 a.m

London, England,

7 Vi lagna.
