In this chapter we will
study various rules for determining the profession of a native. In modern times
this is a very difficult task. A native may have multiple professions. His vocation
may be a clerk but his major income may be from rent of property. A native may
suddenly change his profession. The new profession may be totally unrelated to
his earlier profession. There are times a native may go from self employment to
service or service to self employment. There are many natives who take up part
time work after office hours to augment their financial resources.
For determining the
occupation of a native we basically study the following:
(1)
Rasi-Chart
(2)
Dasamsa Chart
(3)
Dasa periods i.e. the main and sub-period lord prevailing at any given time.
Rasi-Charts is the main
chart. The influence on ascendant, 10th house and 11th
house indicate a native’s profession. In fact, for finding the profession of a
native a horoscope has to be judged in its entirety. The strongest planet and
influences on the tenth house all help in determining with profession of a
native. Rasi-Chart should always be studied along with the Chalit-Chakra. The
Chalit Chakra has been discussed in detail in chapter 1.
Dasamsa Chart is to be
studied for determining the profession and status of a native. It should always
be studied along with the Rasi-Chart and never alone. Every divisional chart is
a part of the main Rasi-Chart and should never be studied alone. Dasamsa Chart
has been discussed in detail later on in this chapter.
The main and sub-period
operating at any given point are responsible for various ups and downs, changes
and determination of profession of a native. We should carefully examine the
Dasa periods operating at the age a native has to choose his career. In Indian
context, we should see the Dasa periods at the age of 18 years to around 30
years. These years will lay the foundation of a native’s career.
It is the combined effect
of the above factors that determine native’s choice of vocation. The various
important factors which are responsible for a native’s profession are described
below.
The
Importance of Ascendant
Ascendant is the most
important house in a horoscope. The influences on it are responsible for a
native’s appearance, career, outlook towards life and character. It determine
if the native will be an intellectual, rugged or sporty type, the enterprising
type who will flourish in self business or working class type including clerks,
labours etc. A planet if strongly posited in the ascendant and its Dasa period
operates during the formative years of a native, has a definite effect on the
career of the native.
The
Importance of Tenth House
The most pronounced effect
on a native’s choice of career is that of the tenth house. We should basically
examine the following:
(1)
The planets posited in the tenth house. If more than two planets are posited
then their combined effect should be considered. For example, if Mars and
Mercury are in the tenth house. Mercury rules young people and it likes to
play. Mars is a Kshatriya or belongs to a warrior class who likes to show is physical
powers. Their combined effect produces a sports person. Now, suppose the sign
in the tenth house is a fiery one. This may make the native a wrestler or a
body builder. This way an astrologer should intelligently consider the effect
of various planets on the tenth house.

If
there is no planet in the tenth house we have to consider the tenth lord and
influence of various planets on it.
