Moon, Mercury and Jupiter play vital roles in learning and education.

This is because education

needs mental inclination and ability, intelligence, thinking and memory. Jupiter should be taken as
the chief karaka for education as it is the planet of knowledge, wisdom, creativity, intuition,
thinking and memory.
Systems and methodology of imparting education may be different from continent to continent or
in ones own country. Educationists who evolved the same would have had their reasons.
Astrology can provide some broad-based pointers to the pilgrims progress. Planetary
configuration and signification of the houses can provide clues to your educational prospects,
levels of achievement and proficiency. Of course, there are exceptions like prodigies, geniuses,
superstars of entertainment and sports, business tycoons who have succeeded in life without
even the basic education.
Role of planets and houses in determining education:
Jupiter signifies knowledge; Mercury, intelligence; Moon, the mind; and Mars, logic.
The 2nd, 4th, and 5th houses indicate the form, status and manner of education.
The 5th house relates to creativity.
The 2nd house indicates level and quality of education.
The 9th and 10th houses indicate ambition and higher education.

PLANETS DECIDE THE EDUCATIONAL FIELD OF A CHILD

NEERAJ JOSHI
Educational counseling is one of the important areas of predictive astrology as every parent is
today anxious about settlement of his child in life. There has been a tremendous growth in no. of
disciplines as Biotechnology, Fashion designing, interior decoration and charted financial analyst
(CFA) etc.
Most of the parents decide the area of specialization of his child themselves. When child takes
admission, he finds that his branch is not of his taste Result is dissatisfaction and frustration
throughout life. So childs interest and aptitude should be main factors in consideration of his field
of study.
Therefore an astrologers task is very important to guide the child in choosing a discipline
according to his interest and aptitude. The discipline chosen should be bestower of success,
promotion and prosperity to child in life.
Jupiter is karaka of education. It is desired to be placed in 5th/with 5th lord / 9th / Kendra.
Mercury shows basic intelligence and level of intellect; it should be in Kendra / own house /
exalted for good educational achievements.
For determination of area of study; 2nd, 4th, 5th and 8th house are considered. 2nd house deals
with students ability to retain mentally and his power of expression. It also shows childs primary
education /learning at home. It deals with 20 percent of total attributes of education. 4th house
deals with home atmosphere conducive for learning; its share is also 20 percent. Main house is
5th dealing with 60 percent of total attributes of education. It shows Pooorva Punya and level of
education. For higher education and research, 8th house is considered. 3rd house deals with
ability to work hard. Relation of lagna with 3rd lord shows success by hard work. Hard work is
essential to get success in todays competitive world.
These factors should be considered various varga's showing educational learning and academic
achievements.
The important Yogas for good educational achievement are
(1) Buddhaditya yoga Conjunction of Sun and Mercury gives intelligence, wisdom and sharp
mind.
(2) Shankha yoga 5th and 6th lord in mutual Kendras gives good educational career.
(3) Sarawasti Yoga If Mercury, Venus and Jupiter are in lagna /4th / 7th / 9th / 10th or together;
ones educational achievements are good.
(4) Buddha Yoga Jupiter in lagna, Moon in Kendra, Rahu in 2nd from Moon; Sun and
Mars in 3rd from Rahu gives knowledge of many sciences.
These findings should be cross checked from Jamini Astrology. Karkamsa lagna and 5th from
Karkamsa lagna should be studied for type of education.
Planets placed in 5th from KL and aspecting planets (Jamini aspect) will give clue.
For Yogas to fructify and success in competitive examinations, dasa of yoga karaka should run.
Transits also play important role. At time of good attainments, double transit principle also works.
There should be good no. of points in 5th in Sarvaashtakavarga chart. Dasa and antardasa lord
should be associated with good no. of points in Sarvaashtakavarga chart. A planet associated
with higher or lower number of bindus in Rasi chart becomes powerful and gives good results if
he gets higher number of bindus in navamsa sign occupied by that planet.
