A chart of a friend who is
a law graduate but serving in the operation branch of a railway Department is
found below. Why could he not become a lawyer, was his question. He himself had
thoroughly studied the traditional system of Astrology in his early days, but h
cold not get an answer for his problem. The chart erected afresh strictly in
accordance with the principles enunciated in Krishnamurti Padhati Readers is
given here.

Analysis
The gentleman was
interested to know why Jupiter in exaltation in Cancer (Kataka) and conjoined
with Mercury could not make him a lawyer, although it assisted him to become a
law graduate.
According to Krishnamurti
Padhati, undue importance is not attached to a planet’s exaltation or
debilitation or its position in the sign of its enemy and many other confusing
theories. No doubt, an exalted planet acquired strength to offer what it rules by
nature, and a debilitated planet is weak in that respect. But when we descend
from abstractions to actual delineated of a chart, we need to blend all the
indications harmoniously and in such a treatment the theories found in
traditional texts like enemy’s house, malefic planet by nature, etc. have no
exaggerated importance. Every horoscope is peculiar to the date, time and
place, and what is food to one is poison to the other Jupiter is not uniformly
good to all, nor is Saturn bad either to every one. If Venus is in exaltation,
it is also then in enemy’s house. The practical approach prescribed in
Krishnamurti Padhati is simple, clear and direct, and that is that whatever
planet may be by nature good, bad or indifferent what actually it will offer
depend on its lordship of houses in the chart, it occupation by house and, more
than all, its situation by constellation and sub. The sign in which it is
contained measures the strength of the planet whether it is congenial to
express its natural qualities to the full or not.
A planet is the source
through which it influences the matter or matters denoted by the houses
occupied by it or the matter or matters denoted by the house occupied the lord
of the constellation in which it is deposited. If there is no planet in a house
and there are none in the constellations any one of the three ruled by the lord
of a house, then the house lord himself becomes a significator to affect the
matters influenced by that house and he will do so in addition to his role as
the significator of the house occupied by him and the house ruled by the lord
of the constellation in which he was stationed.
Coming back to the subject
matter of our discussion, we find that the 4th house which governs
normal high school education is occupied by Rahu who, by virtue of his standing
alone in the sign Kumbha ruled by Saturn, becomes a powerful agent of Saturn
who not only rules the sign on the cusp of the 4h house but also the sub
thereof. Saturn himself is in 3, a house of negation to the 4th
house affairs, and Rahu brings to bear Saturn’s influence in this respect. As
only a few month of Ketu Dasa was left as balance at birth, the native had run
the Dasa of Venus (Sukra) for 20 years in life, and Sukra was posited in the
constellation of Rahu. The native should have faced all sorts of impediments
and difficulties then and this was corroborated.
