Judgment of suitable
vocation from astrological considerations alone is a risky and difficult
undertaking. In modern times, the number of different kinds of employment
available is so great that it is almost impossible to accommodate all of them
within the framework of twelve planets and twelve houses. The field is vast and
much experience is necessary before the astrologer can venture to give specific
advice regarding a particular vocation. Hence it is not possible to deal with
the subject adequately within the limits of a magazine article, and the
following may only be regarded as a summary.
It is the practice of
India astrologers to pay attention to the 6th and 10th
houses only and neglect other parts of the horoscope. This is only a
superficial way at looking at the problem. The horoscope should be studied as a
whole and all the relevant factors should be taken into account.
First examine where the
majority of planets, the Ascendant and MC signs lie in the triplicates and
quadruplicates; that is, whether they lie in cardinal, fixed or mutable signs,
etc. A native with a majority in cardinal signs requires a vocation where there
is much activity, initiative, and leadership. A fixed sign person is suitable
for jobs which are more or less routine requiring no initiative and offering a
secure tenure. A mutable sign individual will be at home in intellectual
employments, traveling, as agents, managers, and subordinate work under others.
Now see where the majority of these factors lie in the fiery, earthy, airy or
watery signs. A fire person is suitable for outdoor work; as a pioneer, he has
zeal and emotional power and ambition. An earthy person is a good practical
worker, would like agriculture, farming, etc. An airy individual inclines to
mental occupations, like writing, commerce, accountants, etc. Persons with a
majority in watery signs have emotional and imaginative powers and are fit for
acting, preaching, occult work, imaginative writing, etc.; they also incline to
occupations at sea, liquor trades and many other everyday occupations.
The signs in which the
planets are placed including the Ascendant and MC) are also to be considered
when determining the profession. The following list culled from various
authorities will sere as a guide to astrologer:
