If
Navamsa sign belongs to Jupiter, one earns by becoming an instructor, religious
authority, priest, moralist, philosopher and the like. Here comes judges,
scholars, senators, clergyman and bankers. If it belongs to Venus, the earnings
are related to gold, fancy goods, women, hotel, restaurants, jewelers,
musicians, painters and the like. If the sign belongs to Saturn, one earns by
hard labour or manual working, like grave diggers, undertakers, brick layers,
miners, coolies, porters, helpers etc.
Astrologically
the 10th house is the most important point as it indicates ones
means of livelihood. It is perhaps the culminating point. It has been noticed
in practice that the most powerful planet in the horoscope will also command
considerable influence in moulding one’s profession. Before judging the
livelihood it is very essential to ascertain the mental, intellectual and
physical abilities of the person by a careful examination of the strength or
weaknesses of the Sun the Moon, Mars, the ascendant and its lord, respectively.
An
airy sign indicates mental powers, planning and oratory ability. A fiery sign
suggests force of character, ability, self aggressiveness, dangerous pursuits,
surgery etc. An earthly sign gives patience, practical ability, business
interests, prudence and planning for material welfare.
In
a horoscope, there may be blends of different planetary influences. A doctor
may be an inventor or a carpenter may be a good singer. These primary but
important factors require careful attention while attempting to decide one’s
profession.
Jaimini
Sutras state that the planet posited in the Navamsa sign of the Atmakaraka
points out the profession of the native. The author of Uttarakalamrita advises
us that the professional incline and job opportunities are to be judged also
from the Dwadasamsa of Atmakaraka.
According
to Maharshi Parashar the success and gain of money depend entirely on one’s
Poorvakarma or good luck. A careful study of the 9th house from the
ascendant and the Moon and of their lords in respect of gain of money will
throw a flood of light on the means of one’s livelihood.
Astrology
is not the science of wealth. But it is capable of predicting the extent of a
person’s wealth (judged from the 2nd house of his birth chart),
source of his earning (from the 10th house), and the fluctuations or
flow of his income (from the 11th house). A native’s means of
livelihood can, therefore, be determined from the 10th house in his
birth chart. The 10th house marks the Mid-heaven, and it is also
indicative of professional prospects. The basic factor that plays an important
part in judging a native’s means of livelihood is an integral probe into his 10th
house (from the Lagna or the Moon or the Sun, whichever is most powerful). This
integral probe takes into account the 10th house, its lord the sign
occupying the 10th house, the planet or planets placed in the 10th
house, the Navamsa position of the lord of the 10th, and the
relation of planets causing Raja Yogas to the 10th house or its
lord.
The
placement of a specific planet in the 10th house and a study of its
ruler and the planet aspecting it helps in determining a native’s means of
livelihood. Broadly speaking, different planets, considered in this way, give
different clues to the source of earning:
The
Moon refers to arts, crafts textiles, horse-racing, contracts, mercantile
activities, navy, nursing orchards, liquids, hotel-keeping, petrol oil
companies.
The
Sun suggests earning through merchandise, dealing in foodstuffs, administrative
post, good inheritance, auditing, accountancy, drugs and chemicals, woollen
mills.
