Choice of a profession is
also very much dependent on the ruler of the horoscope, and the strongest
planet in the chart. According to Herr Ebeertin such a planet would give
indication of a suitable profession such as:
The
Sun:
Inclination for a secure and leading position, like managers, officials.
The
Moon:
Sociological occupations, in which qualities of the heart predominate, like
taking care of children, teacher in lower classes, psychologist.
Mercury:
Good comprehension, critical faculty, skill in expression and writings, ability
for commercial, scientific and literary pursuits.
Venus:
Sense of harmony, beauty, arts, delicate craftsmanship.
Mars:
Will, determination, technical and handicraft skill, suitable for technicians,
engineers, sportsmen, fighters, etc.
Jupiter: No
specific profession. But if configured with other planets indicates success in
profession signified by that planet.
Saturn:
Concentration, perseverance, depth, endurance, are characteristics of this
planet which prefers to work in the background rather than in the full blaze of
publicity. Farming, forestry are suitable.
Uranus:
Fondness for anything new or novel, progress, reform. He is therefore a
reformer, inventor, and also in a negative sense, a revolutionary and
insurgent.
Neptune:
Susceptible, suggestible, with knowledge of human nature. Hence an imaginative
writer or actor, as well as a swindler.
Rahu:
Occupations where team-work is necessary, or work carried out in company or in
contact with others.
The indications of triplicates,
signs, planets and houses should be blended together, and only thereafter a
suitably vocation should be fixed. For instance, for an engineer, a connection
between Uranus and Mars or Uranus and Mercury is important. For a military
career, aspects and strength of Mars alone are not sufficient indication for
leadership; ability for organization and prudence should also be present. For a
medical career, a combination of the Sun, Jupiter and Mercury is indicated. For
an intellectual, strong Mercury, better if configured with Saturn, is
desirable. For a politician or minister the ability to lie fluently and convincingly
(Mercury with Neptune) is an asset.
Whenever a strong Jupiter
aspects or combines with the factors indicating the profusion, success comes to
the native. The 11th should be well fortified, and if monetary gains
are expected, the 2nd should be strong.
It must further be noted
as Mr. Carte remarks: “It should be borne in mind that these (i.e.
astrological) influences affect the native’s personal inclinations, when the
sign and planets are rising. The signs may also potentially affect the destiny
by being on one or more of the three earthy houses i.e., the 2nd,
the 6th, the 10th). It is in this way that people find
themselves forced or drifting into uncongenial occupations; the ascendant
indicates the natural inclination, but some strong sign or planetary
satellitium posited in the 2nd, the 6th, the 10th
houses places them in another walk of life altogether. For example, a man with
Mars and Jupiter in Scorpio is made for an open fir life and would be perfectly
at home roughing it; but he has Mercury in Virgo on the MC and destiny decrees
that he must go into a city office, until the force of character shown by the
ruling sign and planets can assert it. Such cases are not known.”
Questions are often asked
whether the subject would do better in his own business or in service.
Indications have been given above from which a balanced conclusion can be
drawn.
Mr. Wemyss has written
several volumes on this subject with an exhaustive list of actual degree areas
of each zodiacal sign suitable for a particular occupation; and a study of
these volumes is essential for an astrologer who aspires to help in making a
choice of a suitable profession.
Concluding it might be
well to remind the practitioner that numerous factors enter into a determination
of a suitable vocation, and this cannot be determined at a glance from the 10th
and 6th houses and their lords. External circumstances also play a
crucial part in the choice, e.g., availability of suitable jobs, etc. Often the
son is compelled to follow the profession of his father resulting in failure
and unhappiness. All these relative factors should be well weighed by the
astrologer before pronouncing judgement. 179.
