In
this age the machine is written large in the horoscope of man. Mechanical
progress, scientific ingenuity and advanced technology have liberated much of
the energies of man leading to colossal achievements. Ruthless competition,
commercialism, advertising and salesmanship, Ruthless competition,
commercialism, advertising and salesmanship, excessive materialistic activity
of mechanized industry and a hundred and odd economic, social and political
superstructures of life have exposed myriad openings for employment. The seers
of astrology who composed treatises on the science thousands of years ago when
life was free from the fashionable fever of hectic nights and haggard days have
not evidently thought of the medley of jobs in the modern civilized world.
Complexity of professions assuming a more and more bewildering nature of late
makes the lot of an astrologer of ordinary attainments and skill rather hard in
pinpointing the exact means of livelihood. The problem gets further complicated
when one sees a first-class M.A. in mathematics working as a store-keeper, a
Chemistry M.Sc., as a police officer, an M.L. as a telephone inspector and a
B.A., B.T. as a cashier.
A
comparative study of the horoscope of 75 stenographers, 200 teachers (including
primary school teachers and college lecturers), clerks and accountants has led
me the firm conviction that it is not possible to fix by the application of
principles enunciated in the texts. One thing can definitely be stated that it
is not the 10th Bhava alone (nor the Navamsa Lord of the owner of
the 10th nor the planets posited therein) that influences this
aaspect. Natives having a malefic 10th nor the planets posited therein)
that influences this aspect. Natives having a malefic 10th and those
having malefic like Saturn and Mars in the 10th are commonly found
in the teaching profession. Anyone who has studied astrology knows what part
these planets play in education and teaching: Saturn, Mars and Rahu in the 10th
or these planets owning the Navamsas of 10th lords, are very often
found in the horoscopes of college lecturers, ministers, priests, doctors,
I.A.S. others, clerks, drivers and servants.
Though
it may be possible to frame rules (planetary combinations) for finding out a
native’s profession from his chart by studying a number of horoscopes under
each category, such rules may not always be found satisfactory when applied to
other charts.
Though
the problem bristles with difficulties, a learned astrologer, by his well
directed logic and keen intelligence, can arrive at the sight of truth of
course with a tolerable margin for error, if only he minutely examines the
characteristics of the signs and their various divisions and of the planets and
their flexible Karkathwas.
Like
any other science, astrology too has its own limitations; it is the duty of
those deeply interested in the science to increase its utility to society by
earnest research and selfless efforts.
The
principles for deducing the means of livelihood of a native from his horoscope
as enunciated by a few great Acharyas are given below with guidelines in the
light of my experience and study. Horoscopic illustrations, through ready and
available, are omitted as in my earlier humble contributions to this worthy
paper; because I am convinced by the study and practice of this science for
more than three and a half decades, that comparisons in astrology are really
odious. Even a smattering of the Vedas of which astrology forms a part, will
enable one to understand that each man is distinctly separate from the other,
an entity in himself. Thoughts from actions begetting experiences good or bad.
No two heads think alike. As a corollary, their experiences have to be
different though astrologically the two may be having identical horoscopes. The
same directional influences under the same transitory positions of planets have
been found producing different kinds of effects in two horoscopes identical in
all respects. Therefore, each horoscope is to be handed quite independently of
all others. The fact that a planet in a particular position in a chart has
produced a certain pattern of effects does not bear out that the effects
produced by the same planet identically placed in another chart would be the
same.
