Career Astrology: Your weapon for success

A good career is the most important part of life today, as no one can survive without a good career in today's world. Having a good, successful, high-profile career is becoming increasingly vital now, more than ever before. But it is also becoming equally difficult to choose the right career. This is where Career Astrology comes into picture. A learned astrologer can draw a career horoscope on the basis of the native's birth data, and analyse what career will suit him the best.

Career astrology predicts the professional life of the native and answers the following questions about his career:

1 What is the suitable profession- job or business?

2 Which industry will be suitable for job/business?

3 What sort of a role will suit the native in a job?

4.When will the native get a good job?

5 How will his relations with his bosses be?

6.Will the authorities support the native?

7 When is he likely to get a promotion?

8 Is the current time suitable for a job change?

9 How is the current period for career?

10 What is the remedy or gemstone, if required?

It is the 10^th House in which we can find our primary career goals. Hence, the 10^th House is also described as outlining one's fame, reputation, honour and highest achievements. It is also described as the boss -- either your attitude towards the authority of others, or you as the authority. When you think of the 10^th House, think of institutional traditions that have withstood the test of time. Government and political aims naturally fall into the domain of the 10^th House.

According to Vedic Astrology, Sun is the Raja (King) of the stars. Name, fame, power or authority, management, municipal corporations, civil engineering, medicine, chemicals, architectural work, and work related to metals are a few professions related to this planet.

Moon on the other hand is the Raani (Queen) of the stars. Moon is the ruler of the mind, and gives reasoning power to the native. Administration, politics, agriculture, travel, telecom, trade in items of water, dairy farms, water works, textiles, naval work, psychiatry, medicine are a few professions related to the Moon.

Mars, according to Vedic Astrology is the Senapati (Army chief) of the stars. Mars is the ruler of stamina and ability. Army, police, information technology, mechanical, electrical and industrial engineering, trades in metals, geological institutions, railways, labour forces, surgery departments, trades in weapons, cooking are few professions related to Mars.

Mercury is the ruler of intelligence, analytical decision and approach, banking, finance, business process outsourcing (BPO), stock market, education department, literature, book-keeping, writing, audit or accounts, oratory, ambassadorial work, astrology, engineering, crafts, etc. are a few professions related to Mercury.

Education, teaching, treasury, banking, publication, content writing, law and justice, postal department, courts, temples, revenue department, advisory councils, advertisements, etc. are few professions related to Jupiter.

Stars behind Amitabh Bachchan's starry career

Amitabh Bachchan, the Shehenshah of Bollywood, is not only a national icon, but a well-known international personality as well. Besides the filmdom, he has an unmatched fan following across the globe. He was born on 11th October, 1942 at 16.00 hrs. IST Allahabad, India Ascendant Aquarius at 21.41 degrees. We will go through the basics, in a nutshell. He is born with the intellectual zodiac sign Aquarius rising as the Ascendant, ruled by Saturn. The Ascendant or Saturn was placed in the 4th House of the Horoscope at the time of his birth. Jupiter is placed exalted in the 6th House. The Nodes - Ketu is placed in the Ascendant or the 1st House, while Rahu is placed in the 7th House. The Moon is placed in the 9th House. Sun, Mars, exalted Mercury, and debilitated Venus are placed in the 8th House. With four planets situated in the 8th House, which is considered an evil House in Astrological parlance, how did he manage to achieve an illustrious career in the film industry and reach the heights no one in the industry has reached?

The answer is provided by the study of the horoscope through the Krishna Murthy Paddhaty of India, which is astrology of the constellations and not just astrology of planets placed in the 12 Zodiac signs.

Jupiter is in its own constellation 'Punarvasu', which gives him the results of the 5th and the 11th House. These are the best Houses for fulfilment of desires and gains through the significations of the 5th House, which include drama and acting. He chose his career in the Mahadasha of Jupiter, around 1969.

He rose to stardom from 1973 onwards with the dawn of the Mercury period. Mercury represents the 7th, 2nd and the 10th House where the 7th House stands for contacts with the masses, the 2nd House for wealth creations and the 10th House for professional achievements, name and fame. Note that Mercury is placed in the Nakshatra 'Chitra' or the Star 'Spica', which is the luckiest star for one to have in his horoscope connected to a planet rising. Also note that the Sun too is placed in the same constellation in his birth chart.

In 1982, he suffered an injury while shooting for his film 'Coolie' and his injury became a reason for sorrow and worry for the entire nation. Note that he was running the period of the Moon, which represents the 6th and 8th House; they denote injury and ill health. The Moon is placed in the constellation Swati, owned by Rahu – The Southern Node of the Moon or the Dragons Tail, which causes Lunar Eclipse.

Till 1987, he suffered few adversities including financial, due to evil planetary influences. From 1989 onwards he once again entered into the influence of the planet Mercury, and regained his lost glory and prominence of being a super star. We have already discussed that Mercury is placed in the fortunate star of Spica.

In the last twenty years, we have seen him ruling the roost, and he is one of the most sought after actors on the silver screen. He has also bagged compliments as an impressive host on the game show 'Kaun Banega Crorepati'. Audiences of this show in India and abroad have watched him deal with the participants in the most dignified and interesting manner.

Presently, he is under the influence of the planet Rahu till November 2010, after which the period of Jupiter begins for him. Jupiter will once again take him to great heights.

From the above discussion, it is evident that four planets placed in the evil 8th House could not be a deterrent for him in achieving what he did, just because of the sole reason that Sun and Mercury were placed in the constellation 'Chitra', which gave him access to the glories he begot. Mercury is combusted as well as retrograde, but this did not prevent the combination from producing a 'Budhi Aditya Yoga' par excellence. He is well-known for his oratorical abilities in public as well as his style of dialogue delivery in the films.

We wish Amitabh Bachchan all the best for his future. We look forward to what more is in store for us from this once upon a time angry young man, now growing old gracefully!

Ashtakvarga system of Astrology - the accurate way to future

Predicting Through Ashtakvarga

Astrology is a noble science. It can guide you in taking accurate decisions on each front of your life. Astrology is based on scientific calculations of the different aspects of planetary constellations at a certain time. I have been a student of astrology since 1998 and have experimented in my own way the 'Ashtakvarga system' on various horoscopes with full faith in the accuracy of this system.

Samudaya or Sarvashtakvarga

A table consists of 12 Houses and 7 planets i.e. 84 squares prepared by putting dots and zeroes and adding them together, which is known as Sarvashtakvarga. The total benefics should be written in each House along with planets and zodiac signs. Planets which are placed in their own sign, mooltrikona sign or exalted sign are strong, but if they have less than 28 benefic dots, they give negative results. Similarly, if the planets are placed in 6th, 8th or 12th House and have more than 28 benefic dots, they give benefic results.

For each house, minimum number of benefic dots determined are given below:

House No. 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th10th11th 12th
Dots 25 22 29 24 25 34 19 24 29 36 54 16

If the benefic Dots in a House are less than than the number indicated in the chart above, the positive results achieved will be less in proportion. On the other hand, if the benefic Dots in a House are more than than the number indicated in the chart above, the positive results achieved will be more in proportion.

For Match Making: If the native (male/female) has more than 30 benefic dots in their Moon sign, the couple would lead a happy married life. In a case where the native (male/female) has 25 or less than 25 benefic dots, their marriage would be unhappy.

Career or 10th House: If the 10th house has 36 or more benefic dots and it does not have any malefic planet nor is it aspected by any malefic planet, the native will be self-made.
