Connections
of the Sun with Saturn placed in a sign of Mars; theh Moon in Taurus aspected
by the Sun and in Leo aspected by Saturn; and Mars or Mercury in a sign of the
latter having Saturnine relations point to a livelihood by agriculture. The
combination of the Moon-Venus-Saturn and the 11th Bhava having
association, aspect or Varga of Saturn also show agriculture.
Activities
of business, industry and trade may be known by the Moon and Venus combination;
by Jupiter in a sign of Saturn with Mercurial connections; by the Sun in a sign
of Venus or Cancer aspected by the Moon and in a sign of Saturn with relations
of Venus; the Moon in Libra aspected by Jupiter, and by Mercury in a sign of
Saturn with connections of Veus.
Musicians,
dancers and dramatists could be found by the following
combinations:-Mercury-Jupiter; Mercury-Venus; Sun-Moon-Mercury;
Sun-Mercury-Jupiter; Moon-Jupiter-Venus; Mars-Mercury-Jupiter;
Mercury-Venus-Saturn and the like. In these arts also the benefic planets have
a greater share as in education and literature.
The
importance of Karakathwas in this aspect of the science could well be
appreciated by examining the effects of the following combinations of Mars:-
Sun-Mars: Cruel deeds including
killing.
Moon-Mars: Boxing and duels, crafts with clay,
leather, etc., and with metals like gold, copper and lead. Also work with
sulphur, salpetre, etc. The native may also be skilful in black arts.
Mercury-Mars: Work
with gold and iron. Skill in making medicines and trading in them.
Jupiter-Mars:
Mechanical arts, learning in the Vedas and religious texts; discourses in them;
strong, liking in the use of arms.
Venus-Mars:
Astronomy, mathematics and gambling.
Saturn-Mars:
Work or dealings in metals; magic; thieving: making or selling poisons,
poison-cure, use of weapons.
The
planetary configurations indicative of a few professions furnished above are
just pointers to the line of argument to be taken in combining the Karakathwas
of the planets. A combination of two planets may very often show quite
different effects. In such cases, the proportion of the characteristics of each
planet entering the combination is to be decided based on their strength.
No
other aspect of astrology, perhaps, calls for the profundity, acumen, ingenuity
and dexterity of the astrologer more than this subject of the fixation of the
exact means of livelihood of a native well selected as a fit topic for
discussion in the special issue of the popular magazine. Indeed, this puts to
test. The caliber and knowledge of the astrologer.
This
year our esteemed Editor has selected a very stiff subject for the “Surya
Prakash Memorial Number” of The Astrological Magazine. Next to the question of
longevity, it is only the house of avocation that gives the greatest headaches
even to the best of aastrologers.
In
the matter of astrologically judging and determining, different mundane houses
are allotted to the different needs of Kalapurusha or the individual. There is
one house for wealth, another for patrimony, another for income, etc., but
there is no such house for avocation or livelihood. I am saying this with a
certain amount of caution, as my readers, mostly astrological experts, may
scoff at me. There is one house, Karma, viz., the 10th (midheaven).
Karma is a very broad term. Karma means the sum total of the good and bad deeds
at our credit when we are born on this planet.
Karmarjitham purva bhave sadadi yad
tasya pamktim samabhivyanakti (Brihat Jataka 1-2)
Meaning
that the horoscope is an indicator of our past good and bad deeds at our credit
and as to how we are going to work out the interplay thereof.
Thus,
while we are relentlessly compelled to work out our destiny in a particular
groove, we have to activise in various directions towards ourselves, our people
near and dear, our people about us, our society, our country, etc. Livelihood
or activation is only one facet of the term “Karma”.
In
keeping with the most liberal understanding of the word Karma, we have tour
significators, Karakas for the Karma Bhava, viz.:
