Varaha
Mihira in Brihat Jataka, Adh. I. Sl. 3 Says - `Karmarjitham purva bhave sadadi yad tasya panktim samabhi Vyananakti – 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.
The
seers of astrology who composed treatises on the science, thousands of years
ago when life was free from fashionable fever of hectic nights and haggards
days, have not evidently thought of medley of jobs in the modern civilized
world. Excessive materialistic activity of scientific ingenuity and advanced
technology and a hundred and odd economic, social and political superstructures
of life have exposed myriad openings for employment. Complexity of professions
is assuming a more and more bewildering nature. To indicate exact means of
livelihood, though the horoscope depends upon blending of the influences of
planets, signs and houses and there too it would be very difficult to predict
with exactitude. We may say a man would be an engineer, but whether a civil,
mechanical, electrical, mining or textile engineer will depend upon the planet
who has the greatest influence in livelihood. Another question that poses
itself is whether a person would have the same source of livelihood throughout
his life. Many persons start their career in service and later do well in their
own business. Further, in finding means of livelihood, can we make a
distinction between salary and pension? Many retired servants enter business
but most of them either enter private service or live on pension and savings or
rent on buildings they own or have built. It is very difficult to analyses all
factors carefully and predict the tendencies governing one’s livelihood. Like
any other sciences, astrology too has its own limitations. We have to realize
it and it is the duty of those deeply interested in the science to increase its
utility to society by earnest research and selfless efforts.
Let
us study and analyse the principles of deduction of the means of livelihood of
a native from his horoscope as enunciated by great Acharyas of yore. 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, the other for income, etc. There is
one house, Karma viz. the 10th (midheaven). Karma is very broad
term. Karma means the sum total of the good and bad deeds at our credit when we
are born on this planet. Livelihood or avocation is only one facet of the term
karma. Karma is not merely avocation but is a comprehensive term.
The
twelve houses indicate different activities in the world. A professional means
of earning a livelihood may be determined by the houses and planets which are
prominent in a horoscope. If the 1st is strong, the native will earn
by his personal efforts. If the 2nd is strong articles of food or
speech would play a prominent part. The 3rd determines courage,
brothers, heroic valour, communication, writing, short travel, etc. If the 3rd
is strong and has connection with the 10th, the person may earn
through writings and short travel. He may run a big business, may serve in
army. If the 10th lord is connected with the 4th house
and indications are strong, the person may get income from house or motor
vehicle. The 5th has reference to learning, counsel, speculation,
and games of chance. The harmonious dispositions of the 10th and the
5th indicate earnings through above means. The 6th
represents sickness or diseases, if the 6th houses is connected to
the 10th and the horoscope indicates medical studies the person may
be a doctor by profession. The 7th indicates partner, husband or
wife, travel etc. If the 7th and the 10th are
harmoniously disposed – blending their effects together – the person may be
benefited from a partnership. The 8th indicates legacy, imports,
exports etc. When the 8th and the 10th lords are
connected the person may earn through foreign business or from property got
through legacy. The 9th indications would be connected with the
foreigners’ foreign lands, law, religion etc. The connection between the 9th
and the 10th may bring earnings through practice of law or the
person may become religious head or may earn through teaching or preaching. The
10th house is the house of profession and the nature of profession
is indicated by the 10th lord and by the nature of planets or
planets occupying or aspecting it. The 11th is the house of gain or
income and planets occupying or aspecting the house would bring money according
to the planets occupying or aspecting it. The 12th is connected with
places of confinement and distant lands. If Saturnine qualities predominate the
10th and of the 12th is connected thereto, the person may
be a jailor. When the planets connected with giving income to person i.e.
deciding hi livelihood occupy the houses (from the 1st to the 12th
Bhava) the results got modified according to the actual house occupied.
