Varaha
Mihira in Brihat Jataka (Karmajeevadhara) Adh. X. Sl. I., Mantreswara in
Phaladeepika. Adh. V. SI. I. and Vaidyanath Dikshit in Jataka Parijata, Adh.
Xv. Sl. 43. The callings of men are as various, as interesting and as
diversified as the individual peculiarities they exhibit. Take the Lagna or the
Moon at the birth and see who occupies the 10th house from it. If
the Sun is in the 10th house the person inherits paternal property
from the father; if the Moon is there, he inherits money from the mother; if
Mars occupies it, he procures wealth through his enemy; if Mercury joins the 10th
he gets money through friends; if Jupiter is found there, the person has wealth
through brothers; if Venus is in the 10th, the money come through
wife or women; and if Saturn occupies it, he gets wealth from inferiors such as
servants, etc.
Planets
in midheaven or aspiring to be midheaven are to be treated accordingly.
Secondly, when there are no planet in the 10th house from the Moon
or the birth sign, then find out the rulers of the 10th house
counted from the Lagna, the Sun and the Moon. Take the strongest of them. Find
out in what Navamsa he is. The ruler of that Navamsa will influence the
profession. According to Bhattotpala, it is not correct to predict the
profession by considering the strongest alone of planets (1 posited in the 10th
house reckoned from the Lagna and the Moon or (2) owning the 10th
house counted from the Lagna, the Sun and the Moon. Every one of these, should
be taken into consideration while determining the source of income of the
native, as a man get money from various ways both at one time as well as at
different periods in his life. The view taken by Bhattotpala and his quotations
from Gargi seem to be the best. For instance, a man may be lawyer and may have
lands yielding crops, may carry on ready money transactions, may be a paid
trustee or manager in some charitable institution or temple and may hold shares
in banks and be at the same time a Government pleader paid so much per month.
His father and mother may give him money, his wife may bring dowry and his
brothers and friends may also help him.
The
profession or occupation of a native is generally judged from the planet or
planets occupying the 10th house and if there should be none there,
from those in the 1st and also from those aspecting the Sun and the
Moon. Further, the planet which is posited very near the sun or the 10th
Bhava whether before or after in the radix of a native and its
condition-whether strong or weak: due to its position and aaspct exert much
influence in this respect.
Brihat
Jataka. Adh. X. XL. 4, states the gain of money from livelihood should be
ascertained from the strong benefic planets occupying the Ascendant, the 2nd
and the 10th. The Ascendant is to be studied as the earnings accrue
through powers and efforts of the native. The 2nd being the seat of
the wealth and the 11th being the 2nd to the 10th
too are to be scrutinized. The 10th indicates the nature of
profession and the 2nd shows the kind of earnings which the 11th
confers.
Means
of livelihood means gain of money. Therefore study of the 2nd, the 4th,
the 9th and the 11th become highly necessary. The
Ascendant, the 5th and the 7th too are to be examined in
addition to the 10th. These Bhavas also point out ways through which
the native comes by the wealth. It will be helpful to remember that in fixing
the means of livelihood ancient Acharyas have not made the 10th
Bhava the sole source of information. Parasara Says `Bhagyadeva arunam
Siddhibhagyadeva dhanayatee’ meaning that success in endeavours and gain of
money (wealth) depends entirely on luck. A careful study of the 9th
from the Ascendant and the Moon and of their lords in respect of gain of money
will throw a flood of light on the profession.
Looking
from another angle, the 10th house is the 9th from the 2nd
the 6th from the 5th and so on. Such relationships
deserve careful consideration. The 2nd is the house of inborn
potential energy-speech and sight are symbolic expressions of the same.
Inherited wealth indicates the result of past deeds which have to be enjoyed in
a particular birth. This house is the 5th from the 10th
signifying that Paravdha of a man is the result of one’s Karma’s activity in
this phenomenal world. But as the 10th is the 9th from
the 2nd it is suggestive of the fact that the man’s status in life
depends both on one’s past deeds as well as on the potential energy bestowed in
a certain.
