A living entity is always
engaged in work and the condition and status of working pattern are knowable
from the cosmic conditions through the map of heavens cast for the time of
birth. In Srimad Bhagavad Geeta, chapter 3, sloka 3, Lord Krishna says to
Arjuna “No hi kaschit khonomapi jatu
tisthato krma Krito karjayata habasso karma sarvo parvo plariti joyergunnoi” means
that no man can ever live without Karma (work), even for a fraction of a
second. Nature engages every body in karma under compulsion.
Yet it appears most
difficult to pinpoint the actual nature of one’s profession astrologically due
to rapid advancement of the world in different directions in the modern age
making high increase of classified nature of varieties of jobs and honesty at
the first sight it is crux of a problem to locate one’s nature of profession
astrologically. In ancient times the socio-economical structure was very simple
vis-à-vis the nature of vocations were also limitative. Our classical texts on
astrology ascribed some general outline of avocations according to the them
ancient society. The present complex socio-economical structure and various
types of avocations were then absolutely absent. Now it is a matter of our
sincere study and research in the light of those classical texts to unfold the
hidden meanings of umpteen cosmic conditions revealed in the horoscopes that
stand for different nature of professions in a more precise manner.
The foundation of karma is
however related to one’s deeds of past existence, wisdom, intellect, prevision
and intensity of character are the result of one’s own past acquisitions.
Astrologically the cosmic conditions at the time of birth unfold their subtle
links between the deeds of previous birth with the present life. The 10th
house indicates karma (profession) while Saturn is karaka (significator) planet
for karma. Karma brings forth results or destiny.
The problem that actually
arises is how the 10th house is primarily concerned with karma,
becoming important for consideration of one’s livelihood, because karma or
religious philosophy which sustains a man throughout his terrestrial journey,
is signified by the 9th house. The 10th house succeeds
the 9th as well as reciprocal to 4th, the house of
intellect, wisdom and mental ability which astrologically suggest the outcome
of the 9th and the 4th Honestly without wisdom and mental
devotion, a man cannot be pushed to the path of Dharma while Dharma must result
in karma in order to achieve perfection of life otherwise such karma has no
real significance at all. As such, a perfect liaison between the 9th
and the 10th houses leads an individual to enjoy the most powerful
Dharma-karma Raja Yoga which gives most auspicious results towards one’s karma
or profession and its harmonious performance in life. Being the significator
planet of karma, Saturn signifies the results of work done in the previous
birth and its manifestation in present life.
When Saturn is well placed
in a horoscope it indicates bright and good luck which suppose to depend on an
individual’s ability to select right vocation at the right time resulting in
minimizing sorrows in mundane life. Again a better destiny gives enjoyment of
benefits of auspicious results in life and it is see that such enjoyment of
benefits of auspicious results in life is possible only when Jupiter influences
Saturn beneficially. In the event when Saturn is strong in a horoscope it does
indicate bright fortune in one’s avocation while divine grace of Jupiter gives
enjoyment of auspicious results and in such case Jupiter is automatically well
placed relation to Saturn. The inharmonious planetary angles in a horoscope
allow us to interpret the number of misfits and frustrated individuals in the
society. In the struggles of life, many become incompetent due to such marring
cosmic conditions.
One more score that
strikes the foremost in the humble observation and research in the realm of
astrology is that the Karaktatwas (signification theories) of planets are
essential factors in determining ones nature of avocation particularly the
position of Saturn and Jupiter in relation wit the 10th house than
to solely bank upon the 10th house and its lord. I feel that the
position of Saturn and Jupiter in different Bhavas in relation to the 10th
and certain other planets demand highest importance to unfold the nature of
profession, social status, living condition etc. When we look back towards
`Samhita Grantha’ it is seen that Saturn has been given the portfolio of Karma
while Jupiter stands for the native himself.
