Part 9
Again,
the role of man’s ability, his mental drive and physical dash also play
significant roles in securing better means of livelihood. Astrology helps in
throwing light on man’s innate abilities and this can guide a man in utilizing
his hidden energies for constructive purposes. Three years back a gentleman
approached me for consulting the birth chart of his son who had failed in
Matriculation Examination, and showed no mood for studies. He wanted to know
the means by which his son could earn his livelihood. With Scorpio rising, the
chart showed the hidden potentiality of the boy’s mind in mechanical line since
Saturn occupied the 10th house. The 10th house was
aspected by Mercury and Venus posited in the 4th house. Jupiter,
lord of learning, was indicating lack of higher education. But he aspected the
9th house where the Moon in his own sign was posited. I suggested
that he should be given training in radio-mechanism. Accordingly, he was put
under the care of a radio-mechanic, and today he is an efficient
radio-mechanic.
I
have observed that Mercury controls mental growth and when Mercury is
associated with a Yogakaraka, it makes a person immensely intellectual. A
strong Moon indicates a strong heart and strong Mars indicate physical stamina
that is also needed in earning through tougher means of livelihood. The
powerful Sun helps the native in mastering his environments, while strong Venus
and Jupiter provide golden opportunities for the improvement of professional
prospects. Strong Mars and Saturn ensure gains after grim struggle and in the
teeth of opposition. Saturn is, of course, the initial retarder of one’s growth
and puts handicaps and disappointments in the way of the seekers of livelihood,
but Saturn has a wonderful capacity of endowing a person with a sense of
infinite patience, an industrious and hard-working attitude that eventually is
rewarding.
As
to the problem of exploring extra means of income, it can be solved by closely
studying the characteristics of planets related to the 10th and the
11th. Of course, the position of Lagna and its lord in relation to
the planets should also be properly assessed for determining the degree of
success in such ventures. Let me illustrate this with the help of a few charts
with relevant planetary positions:
1. Sagittarius rising,
the Moon is in the 10th house. Lord of the 10th Mercury
is in the 8th. The native is a teacher of ordinary means. But he
supplements his income by entering business partnership with his brother. This
is due to the Sun (lord of the 9th), and Venus, lord of the 11th
(brother) being placed in the 7th (house of partnership in
business). As the Sun and Venus aspect Lagna, they assure success in business.
2. Pisces rising,
Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are in the 7th house. The native is a
physician with meager income. He supplements his income by performing of Shanti paths (religious ceremonies) for
others. Mark the position of lord of the 10th, Jupiter, lord of the
11th, Saturn, in the 7th house along with Mars, lord of
the 9th.
3. Cancer rising, the
10th house is occupied by Mercury. The native is a university
teacher. Lord of the 9th (publication), Jupiter, is in the 7th
house aspecting Lagna. He supplements his income by writing books. Venus, lord
of the 11th, is in the 11th. This assures steady flow of
income.
4. Kumbha rising, the
10th house is occupied with Jupiter, lord of the 11th. It
is aspected by Saturn from the 4th house. The native is a
confectioner. He supplements his income through speculation. Lord of the 10th,
Mars, is in the 5th house.
