Profession part I Dr.S.C.Kursija The astrology is a social science such as psychology, political science or social science etc.

It mainly depends on statistical methods. But it has (a) methodology to calculations, (b) cause and e ect and (c) replication. It is sciences o science. It calculates Time. !o other science can calculate Time. But it is the science o tendencies and prediction do not imply atalism or predetermination. It can guide or the aptitude or leaning or particular occupation. It can ascertain the metal, intellectual, and physical ability o the nati"e or the particular occupation. In the olden days it #as "ery to determine the pro ession o the nati"e. It #as di"ided in our categories by our sa"ants (i) Shatriya, (ii) Vaishya, (iii) Brahmin and (i") Shoodra The Shatriya #ere those #ho carry arms and protect the property and trade o the country. They rule and administer the country. The Vaishya #ere those nati"es #ho #ere in"ol"e in trade and pay ta$ to the King. The Brahmins #ere those people #ho #or% or the society and #ere ad"isor to people in general. They orm code o conduct or the society and #ere teachers. They command high respect in the society and #ere ad"isor to the %ing also. But do not rule the country. The Shoodra #ere those people #ho #ere in ser"ice to abo"e people and do all type o #or% re&uired by them. They per ormed laborer #or% or the society such as iron smith, agriculturist, gardeners, s#eepers etc. The determination o pro ession o the nati"e is not easy in the modern social set'up and changing circumstances, #hen there are "ast opportunities and multiple directions. To simpli y the pro ession I ha"e di"ided the pro ession in eight categories according to the general re&uirement o the society( (a) Intellectual Sector: Those nati"es, #ho earn through applying their mind and %no#ledge such as consultant, philosophers, doctors, la#yers, judges, and teachers etc. The #riter are also grouped in this category. They apply their mind to e$press the inner eelings pre"alent in the society. They e$pose corruption and other #rongs pre"alent in the society. They can be journalists. Corporate Sector: Those nati"es #ho earn through industries, mill o#ners, manu actures, actory o#ners, builders, or are o#ners o some institutes and big concern. )ll come under this group. Politicians and Bureaucrat: They ha"e decision ta%ing authorities and are go"ernment employee such as I)S, I*S and other o icer, and others go"ernment o icers. They are members o parliament and assemblies. They are public ser"ant. Artists: +usicians, actors, singers, dancers, dramatist and cinema #or%ers as they entertain the society. ,hile entertaining they e$pressing inner eelings o the society. They e$pose corruption and #rong rules and customs o the society. Traders: This group consists o those peoples #ho deal in small commodities re&uired by the society such as grocers, shop%eepers, stationers etc. This group includes those small manu acturers #ho produces or manu acture goods or the large corporate sector. They does not sale their manu actured goods direct to the mar%et.

Commission Agents: This group consists o those persons #ho #or% or the bene ic o t#o parties and charge their commission or the ser"ices rendered such as properties bro%ers, ranchise, share bro%ers etc. Routine wor ers: includes large numbers o cler%s, shop assistants, general sta in o ices etc. !a"ourers: includes agriculturist, actories #or%ers, carpenters, mechanics, and ric%sha# pullers etc.

-eneral spea%ing .upiter and +ercury represents Intellectual group. The Sun, +ars and +oon represents Corporate group. /enus is prominent in artists group. +ercury is in traders group, Saturn in laborer group and 0ahu and Ketu to routine group. +ercury is "ery important or creati"e or rictional #riting i in luenced by .upiter or /enus. But the all these are general indications. The strength and bene ic in luence on +ercury and +oon is necessary to ace the critical and decision ma%ing situations. The aspect o Saturn or 0ahu on +oon or +ercury ma%es it di icult to ace the critical situation. These planets should ha"e their in luence on some particular house to sho# its e ect. ,hich house should be in luenced is point o contro"ersy. )ccording to some scholars and sa"ants 12th house and 12th lord (Karma) should be in luenced by these planets and according to others 3agna and lagna lord (Sel ) should be in luenced and so on. )ccording to Phaldeepi a the 12th house and its lord should be seen rom the 3agna or +oon #hich e"er is strong. 4e gi"es three parameters( (i) ,hen the 12th is not occupied, then the pro ession is seen rom the !a"amsha lord o the 12th lord. (j) ,hen the 12th is occupied by one planet, then the pro ession is seen rom the nature o that planet and !a"amsha lord o that planet. (%) ,hen the 12th is occupied by more than one planet, then the pro ession is seen rom the strongest among the planets and !a"amsha lord o that planet. The nature o the planet gets changed #ith the aspect and conjunction o some other planet. )ccording to sage *arashar pro ession should be determined rom Sudharshan Cha%ra. The same aphorism #ith slight "ariation has been gi"en in other classic #or%s also. It suggests that the origin o the aphorism is some other classics and is important. The abo"e principles are "ery simple and do not #or% in present scenario o pro ession or all nati"es. #or determination of profession !agna and $%th house and their lords are certainly &ery important, but may more aspects are needed to be gone into. The &uali ications o the nati"e ha"e become essential, so 5 nd, 6th and 7th house come into play. The 5nd house is also house o accumulation o #ealth so earning. The 6 th is also the house o learning and in opposition to 12th, so it has its role also. The 8th house is house o higher learning, so it also plays its role. The 7th house sho#s the mental ability o the nati"e and his intellect, his inclination and pur"a punya i.e. inherent &ualities o the nati"e since birth. 8th house, 7th rom 7th, also indicates inherent &uality o the nati"e. )gain 7 th is 8th rom 8th. So 7th and 8th houses are "ery important houses or the determination o pro essions. ,e should not orget that the 9th house #hich is 12th rom 12th house and :th house #hich is part o the )rtha tri%ona and ;pachaya house and 8 th house rom 12th. ,e can not do i #e do not analy<e the 11th house o gain. So there are many criteria popular among the astrologers to determine the pro ession o the nati"e.

The scholar and -uru li%e Sh.K.!.0ao #ho gi"es importance to Kar%amsha lagna. The role o )matya Kara%a in determination o pro ession is not to be ignored. The disposition and strength o )matya Kara%a should be ta%en into account. )ccording to others, the strongest planet in the chart o the nati"e determines the nature o the pro ession during his dasha and antar dasha. According to my o"ser&ations the profession should "e seen from !agna and $% th house, $%th lord and the 'a&amsha lord of the $%th lord, planets posited in !agna and $%th house( If there is no planet in $%th, the na&amshesh of $%th !ord indicates the profession( The rasheesh of $%th !ord, the lord of na shatra of $%th lord and the )ara a planets also influence the profession of an indi&idual( The dasha and "hu ti running at the time of *oining the profession also has "earing on the profession( The transit has its influence at the time of *oining a profession( Before *udging the profession, it is necessary to *udge the strength of the !agna, +oon, and Sun, physical, mental, and intellectual a"ilities of the indi&idual( The importance of strength and disposition of lagna and $%th and their lords is not less( The importance of strength and disposition of +ercury and ,upiter should also "e ta en in account( The planet in 12th house is more po#er ul than 12th lord. The na%shatra lord o the planet posited in 12th house is more important than the planet posited in 12 th house. The na%shatra lord o 12th lord is more important than the 12th lord. The planet posited in the na%shatra o lord o 12th lord has also bearing on pro ession. -ow to analy.e the chart( The lagna and 3agnesh should be in strength other#ise all yoga become ine ecti"e and also see the strength o +oon and her dispositor. 3ocate the signs in trine (one Tat"a) #hich contain the ma$imum number o planets. The pro ession #ill be according to the Tat"a o the planets. It is also to be seen rom the Kara%a as %ara%a or pro ession is Saturn. See the planets rom Saturn in its trine, in 9 th, 5nd and 15th .The Kara%a or education is +ercury.
