In these days of space
voyage, man still needs the four `Purusharthas’, or human ends as indicated in
our Sastras for his life and enjoyment. They are Dharma, Artha, Kama and
Moksha. As the topic is `Determination of Profession’ automatically the `Artha ‘
(meaning wealth) one comes to play.
Astrologically, 1, 5, 9
houses are connected to Dharma, 2, 6, 10 to wealth (Artha), 3, 7, 11 to Kama
and 4, 8, 12 to Moksha. We shall confine to 2, 6, 10 houses only for
determination of profession. Incidentally, it is pertinent to point out that 2,
6, 10 houses form a Trine themselves. It is of great significance to note this
point so that further understanding is easy.
Majority of us work for
wages and obtain a status in life. The status in life and their various
gradations are termed as Yogas, Raja Yogas, Ava Yogas etc. including Darida
Yogas etc.
How these trines play
their part in determination of profession, let us analyse. 2nd house
stands for body, Netra (eyes), Vak (speech), Dhanam (wealth) family (kutumba)
and so on.
Healthy body, good looking
eyes (free from defects), good speech, good family background with moderate
wealth are very essential for worldly life. Further to earn our wealth through
salary and other means, the above are very essential.
In modern parlance in
aptitude test for jobs, good physique, clear eyes, good command of speech all
come into play. How beautifully 2nd is linked with job as the
preliminary stage in earning the wealth.
Take the 6th
house now. The 6th house stands for service (working under somebody
with rules and regulations to be complied with) competition, anxiety, inimical
activities, tiredness exhaustion, debts, sickness of the body, trouble from
enemies, untimely meal and so on.
All those who had
experience of service would have definitely felt all those above things in
various degrees.
In management terms,
competition, working for the desired targets, anxieties, rivalry connected with
the above, hypertension, finally sickness, all are there for an individual
serving in any organization. 6th house aptly proves the proverb, “no
pains, no gains.”
Let us see the 10th
house. 10th house stands for success, name and fame, status. The
power to command others, government titles, and honours in profession, nature
of profession etc.
In materialistic world of
today, a man is judged by his status. It is known as “Padavi” in Sanskrit. That
is why while writing the horoscope, the Sloka, is always written by learned pundits
of astrology.
“Janani
Janma soukhyanam,
Vardhani
Kula Sampadam,
Padavi
Poorva Punyanam,
Likhyathe
Janma Pathrika”
It has a significance or
importance. The present Janma’s 6th house corresponds to previous
birth’s 10th house. Automatically the present Janma’s 5th
house corresponds to previous birth’s 10th house, or Dharmasthana.
Dharma and Karma are inter-related. In simplest term, they are known as thought
and action. Seed of action is thought. As per the seed only, the harvest or
fruit.
Our Sastras stress the
need for any Karma or action based on Dharma or right path. With corruption in
all walks of life, the statement holds good as a Beacon of life. The great
apostle of truth Mahatma Gandhi used to always stress the point, the “means”
are more important to achieve an object.
How beautifully the 6th
house is connected to Poorva Punya or 5th house. Based on the same
logic, the present Janma’s 10th house is the past birth’s 2nd
house or house of wealth, and present Janma’s 2nd house is previous
birth’s 6th house. How nicely are houses 2, 6, 10 inter-linked: it
is a divine order so to say.
Let us proceed further. In
astrology, every house has “Shatru Sthana” or detrimental house or inimical
house”.
For 2nd – Shatru Sthana is
7th
For
2nd – Shatru Sthana is 11th
For
10th – Shatru Sthana is 3rd.
