The
sign in which the 10th lord
is posited is Jeeva sign and its lord is Jeeva for Karma Bhava. The sign in
which the 7th lord is posited is Sareera sign and its lord is
Sareera for karma Bhava. If Jeeva and Sareera are found strong and both are
beneficvs and friends and Jeeva and Sareera sign also happen to be Kendra,
kona, the 2nd or the 11th from Lagna, Karma Bhava will
flourish.
Parasara
Hora stipulates that Dasamsa chart is to be examined for judging about a person’s
livelihood.
The
nature of a native’s profession may be indicated with some accuracy by
Ashtakavarga of Saturn, the dots of different planets falling in the 10th
counted from Saturn’s signs are to be noted. Dots contributed by combust:
debilitated and weak planets are to be ignored. Dots contributed by other
planets in the 10th from Saturn give a clue by the native’s job. If
there are two or more dots contributed by two or more planets, the nature of
job (or jobs) may partake the characteristics of the significators.
Bhagavat
Gita declares: “Deep is the mystery of Karma”;
but deeper do we feel are the ways of destiny or fate, the end-product of our
life based on Karma (action and
reaction). Life is underlined by activity. None in this life can stop activity
even for a moment. Every action has its own reaction. By thoughts and actions,
man is generating Karma every moment
of his life and he remains a slave of the law of nature.
For
an astrologer, the most difficult and at the same time most important job is
the determination of one’s exact means of livelihood. In this modern complex
world, the number of avocations is so vast that it seems practically impossible
to determine with reasonable precision the nature of one’s livelihood. But a
real and devoted astrologer can develop a formula by following certain norms
and assumptions which will hand down certain near accurate results.
Mantreshwara,
in Phaladeepika, states that one can predict the source, mode and period of
acquisition of money from a correct interpretation of the ascendant or the
signs occupied by the Sun or the Moon whichever is stronger. Then find out the
planet located in the 10th house from these and the Navamsa sign
occupied by the Lord of the respective Bhavas. The Sun refers to the father,
the Moon to the mother, Mars to the co-borns and the foe, Mercury to friends,
Jupiter to elders and mentors, Venus to the wife and, Saturn to the low class
friends for the servants.
Jataka
Parijata is equally helpful in the determination of the source of one’s income.
There we find: “From the 10th house you can ascertain a person’s
authority, rank, ornaments, dress, activities, agriculture, renunciation, religious
activities, means of livelihood and fame.” Naturally the profession depends on
one’s education, his mental make-up, ability, capacity, capability, resources, potentials
and such other factors. Jataka Parijata declares that one must find out whether
the ascendant is strong or the moon; i.e. it gives lesser importance to the
Sun. Then note the Navamsa occupied by the lord of the 10th reckoned
from the stronger one. If that sign belongs to the Sun, one deals in medicine,
wool, grass, water, grain, gold and pearls and he may become a mediator (Judge)
or an Ambassador. If it is the Moon, one lives through thing derived from
water, by agriculture, clay, clothes, marriages, sailors, navigators,
fisherman, boatman, nurses and others. If it is Mars, then we refer to
metallurgy, war, fire-control, stealing, adventure and quarrels with others.
Military jobs, doctors, chemists, butchers, executioners, engine drivers and
all those working with iron, steel or fire, are perhaps covered here. If it is
Mercury, one pursues arts, poetry, traditional profession, priesthood, writing,
astronomy, astrology and scriptures. Literary authors, translators, scientists,
writers, accountants, teachers, mathematicians, law-years, book-sellers,
printers and postman also come under the planet.
