New Born Baby Horoscope 

Career literally means ‘’what we do’’. Nowadays career is taken as what we do for a living. Evaluation of the career of the person is one of the daunting tasks for an Astrologer. Generally the chart will not give a clear picture, of course, occasionally it does. We may take cue from the astrological rules to predict appropriately. By using timing techniques like (a) Dasa/Bhukthi analysis and (b) Transit analysis, we will be able to zero in on the exact timing of events. In Vedic Astrology, we blend the effects of planets and houses to arrive at the possible solution. The planets for career are

a) 10^th house lord

(b) Lagna Lord and

(c) 2^nd house Lord for generating income

The first house represents the self, character and personality of a person, so it can throw light. The 10^th place stands for karma in this birth which will tell the nature of career than one can pronounce. The second house for generating income and from that we would be able to assess the career of the native. If there are no planets in the 10^th house, then one needs to see the Navamsa occupied by the Lord of the 10^th house. According to Uttarakalamitra, 10^th house deals with

• Work in Government
• Teaching and preaching
• Medicine
• Influence over others and self control, etc.

Now let us see the placement of 10^th Lord to see the effect on career. In the chapter, significance of planets and income, we have already discussed the role of planets in generating income.

Placement of  10^th Lord in

1^st house : Self made, can also be self employed. Rises high in life.

2^nd house : Family trade, banking and finance, its afflictions may cause bankruptcy.

3^rd house : Travel and communication industry

4^th house : Lucky, well placed job, well educated, famous since the planet will be looking at his own house

5^th house : A powerful Raja Yoga is formed. Highly intelligent, may pursue academic achievements. May be working under Government.

6^th House : Career related to low end jobs, prison management, hospital management, etc. If afflicted, causes disgrace and imprisonment

7^th house : It gives a working spouse. Diplomatic services, travel abroad and on partnership business. If afflicted will be only interested in material world and immoral.

8^th house : Very disheartening placement. There will be breaks in career and income. Benefics may offer some relief.

9^th house : Thinking career for native. Charitable deeds and extremely fortunate

10^th house : Success in career. Even a person born in an ordinary family will rise up in life.

11^th house : Shows gain in profession and business. Afflictions may cause betrayal of friends

Career induced by planets

We have discussed this aspect under the topic, ‘’Significance of planets and income elsewhere in this compilation.

For example, if Sun is the 10^th Lord, then the native may enjoy a Government job. He may be a trader dealing with drugs, chemicals and gold. If is happens to be Jupiter, a preceptor, priest, lawyer or a solicitor. If it is Saturn, then it will denote career related to preservation, foreign land and eliminatory function. We may say that Saturn dominated person may be a politician since they will be dealing with masses. The native may deal with insurance since it is related to death. Long preserved items like petroleum, mines are likely career for a Saturn dominated person.

These are some of the ideas that we can take from Vedic Astrology for career counselling and income predictions.

Combination for people who reach the top echelons of society are

1. If the 10^th Lord, Jupiter and Moon are inter related
2. Sun in exaltation or own house
3. Benefic in 2^nd, 10^th and 11^th
4. Presence of Raja Yoga planets with their Dasa’s operative
5. As per Jaimini Astrology, Saturn or Mercury in the 10^th from Karakamsa Lagna will give fame.

Of course, the dasa/bhukthi and transit should be favourable for the responsible planet.
