Problems in Career

The querist approached me through the following email.

Hi Rajesh,

My name is XXXXX  and my DOB is 23rd mar 1973 time 9:30 AM birth place is Bellary Karnataka, since 2006 I am facing lot of disturbance in Finance and Career related matter. Can you kindly suggest any astrological remedy to subsidise the ill effects if any.

Your Career related house is House number 10 (10^th house is house of Karma, social fame, rank in society). This has a Aquarius sign. This sign is owned by Saturn. The planet Saturn in a natural giver of , extreme hard work delays, obstacles, disappointments.

 In your Horoscope Saturn is also the owner of 9^th house of fortune. Hence in your chart, Saturn owns a Kendra and Kona place and is sitting in your lagna / Ascendent. This is a positive news because Kendra is Vishnu and Kona is laxmi. If a planet becomes lord of Kendra and Kona then it becomes a Yogakaraka.

Saturn is aspecting its own 10^th house from lagna which means that growth in profession will be slow.

Saturn is a planet of Justice and if it is owning 10^th house of profession, career related to law is advised though Saturn also represents many other professions. Your 10^th house has Mercury. Planet Mercury is owner of house number 2 (House of speech , stored wealth, stocks, Banks, Treasury etc) and house number 5. (House of Fame, creative intelligence , power). Mercury is a significator of speech and also represents buddhi (intelligence) and when it is sitting in 10^th house of your professions in acquarius sign, you can be a good arguing lawyer . 

Mercury is aspecting the 4^th house of education and hence career in Teaching can also be taken because that requires speech as medium of action. Those professions which will involve good communication skills / speech will suit you.

Jupiter is sitting in your 9^th house of fortune which is its own house and aspecting your 10^th lord Saturn in lagna / ascendant. Therefore you will be fortunate in your profession but in later part of life. (Saturn delays everything).

You had informed me that you are working in IT department.  Mercury also signifies information / publishing but I don’t see any connection of 3^rd house with Mercury though your 10^th lord Saturn is aspecting 3^rd house (3^rd house represents Information Technology, publishing, logistics, movement) in your chart. I mean 10^th Lord is establishing connection with 3^rd house.

The 8^th house of your horoscope has Rahu. It is a planet of sudden changes and desires and sitting in house of sudden changes which means sudden changes will get compounded in your career because 8^th house is 11^th house from 10^th house and 11^th house from any house is fruits of that house which is being analyse. 11^th house from any house means end of the activity of that particular house. Therefore your may face job end / career breaks whenever the Mahadasha or antardasha of Jupiter or Rahu will come in your life time.

Position of your 10^th Lord in Navamsa Chart

 Your 10^th lord Saturn is in Navamsa of Moon and Moon is placed in 6^th house of your Navamsa Chart which shows obstacles, mental worries in your career. 6^th house represents  service and moon being a fastest planet will represent change of service. Moon is also representative of  Mind and if Mind is in house of mental tension (6^th house), your  will  be under mental worries relating to your service.

In your Navamsa chart, the 10^th lord is Venus and it is also sitting in 8^th house which is a dusthana. Hence you will face repeated breaks in your career.

Analysis of Dasamsa Chart D-10

The Dasamsa chart is a minutest analysis of 10^th house . The lagna lord of Dasamsa chart is again Saturn and placed in dusthana / evil house number 8. The planet Saturn is aspecting 10th house of preofession in Dasamsa chart from 8^th house which is a bad aspect. This shows problems related to your career/ profession.

Note :(6, 8, 12 are evil houses and create problems in those aspects with whom they are associated. E.g if there is a involvement of 6,,8,12 house with house of marriage then chances of marital discord , break in marriage or long delay in marriage is expected).

The 5^th and 10^th lord of Dasamsa chart is venus and  is sitting in 12^th house which is again a evil house. However there is a chance of foreign job during the antardasha and Mahadasha of venus or Jupiter cannot be ruled out.

Rahu is sitting in 6^th house of service and aspecting the 12^th house where lords of 10^th house and 12^th house are sitting. Since Rahu also shows foreign connections, there is a strong possibility of your foreign related profession.

Your Current Vimshottri Dasha period

Since you had told me that since 2006 you are facing issues, lets see your Dasha periods.

If you look at table below, your Moon antardasha operated from 22/7/2006 to 22/12/2007. Moon was in 6th house (evil house) of obstacles in your chart and is aspecting 12th house of losses and expenditure. Moon also owns 3rd house of your horoscope which is 6th (evil house) from 10th house. This indicates mental worries and changes  relating to service.

Your Mars antardasha operated from 22/12/2007 to 19/12/2008. Mars is exhalted in your chart and placed with Jupiter in 9th house. Though it is good for other aspects of your horoscope, lets see the professional aspect relating to 10th house.

 Mars is the  the owner of 12th house (House of losses, expenditure / evil house/ Dusthana) and 7th house (partnerships, alliances, Marriage). From the house of profession angle, It is placed 12th from 10th house and  Mahadasha lord Mercury  which is  a problem.  

Rahu antardasa operated from 19/12/2008 to 7/7/2011. Again Rahu is placed in 8th house which is a house of death & rebirth, sudden transformations. 8th house is 11th from 10th house of profession and represents end of career/ retirement and also gains from profession. Hence you must have experienced sudden transformations relating to your professional gains / career during this period.

Mahadasha of MER -17 Years From 22/ 6/99 To 22/ 6/16

Antardasha of Planets is as follows

MER 19/11/01

KET 16/11/02

VEN 16/ 9/05

SUN 22/ 7/06

MON 22/12/07

MAR 19/12/08

RAH 7/ 7/11

JUP 13/10/13

SAT 22/ 6/16

In the above data , you are currently running Mercury Mahadasha and Jupiter Antardasha. Mercury is lord of 2^nd House (house of stored wealth , speech etc) and 5^th house in your chart and sitting in 10^th  house of profession in your horoscope so this will bring positive results to you.

Jupiter, being antardasha lord and simultaneously lord of 8^th house of evil (its Mooltrikona sign) and 11^th house of Income. Jupiter , as antardasha lord is 12^th from the Mahadasha lord . Hence period of Jupiter will bring long  Travels due to its presence in 9^th house, losses in profession / sudden ups and downs in Income. You will also become spiritual during this period and will perform religious acitivities/ deeds and Travel to pilgrimage cannot be ruled out as Jupiter is sitting in 9^th house of your natal chart.

In the current transit chart of 2^nd Sept 2012, Jupiter is placed in lagna of your chart. Therefore there are high chances of profession break / end  because 8^th house whose lord is Jupiter is 11^th from 10^th house and as I explained , 11^th house is the end of activity and ultimate fruits of the karma of that house.

This will continue till 13/10/2013 after which Saturn Antardasha will start for a period of almost 3 years.

The antardasha lord Saturn is placed in 4^th from Mahadasha lord which is positive point.Saturn being  owner of 9^th and 10^th house in your chart will give positive results but you are advised to  extremely work hard during this period and should not get disappointed.

Shadbala chart

Shadbala is a method in Vedic astrology that gives quick insight in the strength of planets and the houses. Sanskrit means 'Six' and hence Shadbala consists of 6 different sources of strength.  Shadbala method gives a value to each planet and each house. The more points a planet and a house gets in Shadbala the stronger it is.

In your Bhavabala Table , 10^th house has a rank of 11 out of 12 Bhava's hence House of profession is not at all strong.

Similarly it has been said above that Jupiter is sitting in house of Fortune in 9^th house in your natal chart and aspecting 10th lord Saturn but it has lost its effect because the strength of Jupiter is weak due to its 7^th Rank out of 7 planets in Shadbala Table.

Indian Life Insurance Company Analysis using Astrology

Date of birth / Incorporation : 14/7/2006
Place of Birth : Mumbai
Time of Birth : Assumed at 12.00 Noon

The Life insurance Business is a Business related with the death and hence 8th house becomes prime determinant of such Business. Good placement of the 8th lord or benefic aspects to 8th house will bring Good Life Insurance business to the company. Lets analyse the lagna chart below to confirm our findings.

The Company  is a joint venture between a Indian Group and  a French Financial services giant. Therefore we shall first analyse the 7th house of Marriage partnership and alliances. The 7th house has Rahu in Pisces Rashi. Both Rahu and Pisces indicate foreign connections. Hence the Partnership has the foreign element. Now lets understand the General Traits of Rahu and Pisces Rashi and what they can do in 7th house.

Rahu in bhava-7 craves a privileged trust - usually a major social step up, by marriage or diplomatically brokered agreement.There is a passion to be recognized as an equal via bargaining and negotiating with those of higher status, although one has not yet earned the right to genuine equality.

Due to  Rahu's characteristic over-promotion, Rahu in 7th house may enter an inappropriate marriage or alliance contract that is "over one's head".

Rahu , a bargainer, wheeler-dealer, negotiator, contract-maker, facilitator, middle-man, or broker with a special propensity to enter into promises with:

• privileged foreigners,
• those with very different expectations,
• partners of a higher social status or power rank,
• partners from more powerful cultural backgrounds who may interpret the agreement in ways that are exotic to the expectations of Rahu-7

Rahu engages in exotic or taboo-breaking counseling-advising relationships. Due to these pressures, unstable and ambitious Rahu in 7 generally indicates several marriages / Partnerships. 

Recently in June 2011, there were talks of A pertochemical giant Company being the new Majority partner as existing Indian partner was planning to exit the company within 5 years of floating the company. 

The self-elevating Partner  may display exaggerated social-positioning desires or ambitious expectations. JV Partner expects the marriage/ Alliance  to provide a launching pad for their rise into visibility and wealth.All this indicate cultural issues between the partners.

Rahu the Intruder disrupts the customary habits of alliance (particularly affecting exclusivity contracts) , upsets the schedule of alliance negotiations, and makes one privy to a disturbing and possibly dangerous  partner. Rahu in 7 disregards marriage conventions according to which one should marry an equal of similar background and habits.

So astrologically the above traits of Rahu are  at play. The Company is currently having Rahu Mahadasha till March 2019 post which there will be improvement in the situation.

The 6th house shows competitiveness and 3rd shows energy and enterprise to fight the competition. The 3rd house also represents daily operating activities of marketing,sales etc .The placement of 3rd lord in 12 house shows that such activities will result in losses. 

The 3rd and 8th house (house of death, anything related with dead persons hence Insurance ) Lord mars is placed in 12th house (Dusthana, house of losses, foreign Travel) and aspecting the 6th house which means that the company will loose money in trying to fight the competition.  There will be lot of Foreign travel by the staff due to these planetary positions. 12th house is also house of dissolution. Therefore the energy of Mars will get dissolved in 12th house. Hence the company will not have enough energy to fight the competition (aspect to 6th house) in Life insurance business due to position of Mars (8th house lord of Insurance) in 12th House.

Infosys - IT Giant -Astrological Analysis

The science of Vedic astrology can be used to predict anything on this earth. The planetary positions give significant impact on the activities performed on this earth. The branch of astrology which deals with this aspect is called Mundane astrology. let us analyse the chart of the Company. The details are as follows:

Date of birth : 2 July 1981
Time of Birth : Assumed at 12.00 noon.
Place of Birth : Bangalore, Karnataka, India

The lagna of the company is Virgo which is a Mool Trikona sign of Mercury and Mercury represents Intelligence , knowledge (Budhi), Information ,Communications, Computers. The other planet which represents and signification of computers is Ketu. The 3rd House is house of Communications, Information , Publishing and is the house of Mercury.

Mercury, the lagna lord is  in the 10th house of Karma / Deeds and is in swaksehtra. The 2nd House  lord (2nd house represents Bank Balance, Treasury, stocks, stored wealth )  of wealth  and 9th house of Fortune and Dharma is in house of Income (11th house) resulting in huge wealth (with ethics as 9th lord is representative of ethics) and fortune for the company.

The 11th lord (House of gains, friends, social connections) is Moon and is placed in 10th house of Karma, profession.  Hence this shows good gains / Income from professional activities.

Jupiter , in lagna is aspecting the 5th house (House of power, creative intelligence) , 7th house (House of Business, partnership and alliances ) and  10th house giving expansion to name , fame , wealth and ethical practices.

The 12th house (house of foreign connection, foreign land ) lord is SUN and that is also placed in 10th house    which means that Company will have foreign connections and will pursue its profession in foreign land.

Rahu in 11th house will extrapolate the Income effect and will be a catalyst in Income generation.

Employee relations
The 6th house shows the working class or the employees. Any affliction to 6th house or lord of 6th house tend to create disruption among the employees. Further the status of loans , debts may also be a cause for the company.

In the above chart, Saturn is well placed in lagna and aspecting 3rd house , 7th house and 10th house. This means that employees will work with the Management in achieving overall progress of the company. If during the transits, Saturn comes under affliction then there could be employee issues but since saturn is well placed in chart, these situations can be managed well.

The company is currently running Saturn Mahadasha and Jupiter Bhukti which will end on 26th sept 2012. After that Mercury Mahadasha will be starting which will be extremely good for the company. Mercury being the Lagna Lord and 10th house lord will boost the professional activities of the Company.

Death of Vilasrao Deshmukh - Astrological analysis

Vilas rao Deshmukh was the CM of Maharashtra for a period of 10 years ending on 2007. He recently died due to Liver Cancer. He was just 67 years of age. let us analyse his Horoscope from the death angle.

Date of Birth : 25/5/1945
Time of Birth : 6.00 AM
Place of Birth : latur Maharashtra, India
Date when he expired :14th August 2012
Time of Death : 2 PM
Place of Death : Chennai Hospital

The Lagna Lord and 6th lord (House of diesease) Venus and 7th (marakasthana) lord are conjoined in 11th House . . Mars is also lord of 12th house which represents hospitalisation. 12th house is the Mooltrikona of Mars.  Mercury the lord of 2nd house (again Maraksthana) is in 12th house ( hospitalisaton.).

I had earlier written in my article that there are several Rashi which represent various body parts and they are as follows 

aries- Head and Face

Taurus - throat

gemini - hands arms lungs

cancer = stomach breasts

leo - heart spine

virgo - intestines, liver

Libra - kidneys

scorpio - sex organs

saggitarius - hips, thighs,  liver

Capricorn - Knees

acquarius - calves and ankles

pisces - feet

The 6th house has Libra sign which represents Kidneys. Further 8th house has sign of Saggitarius with aspect of saturn. Saggitarius sign represents liver and cancer disease is halt in growth of cells. The 8th house is house of death and defines conditions of death. Therefore the reason / condition for death is Liver Cancer.  

Lets look at the Transit Chart of 14th August 2012 , 2.00 PM , Chennai and superimpose the planets on the Natal Chart of the native.

The Mahadasha , Antardasha and pratayantardasha is shown below.

Now lets look at the Dasha and antardasha period. He died when Venus - Moon - Rahu  Mahadasha , antardasha and Bhkukti was running.  Venus being the Marakasthata lord Moon in house of disease and lord of 3rd (place of death), Rahu in another maraka sthana and aspecting 8th house of death. 

Now look at the Transit chart. The Venus and Moon are both in 2nd house which is Maraksthana. Rahu is also in Maraksthana in 7th House. Jupiter the lord of 8th house (Death) is in lagna (Self / Body).. Hence the time was very inauspicious for him. 

May god give peace to his soul.

Marital Separation- Case Study

This is a case of a lady who got separated with in 2.5 years of marriage. The details are as follows:

Date of Birth :14th August 1982

Time of Birth : 5:55 PM

Place of Birth :New Delhi

Analysis of 7^th House

1.Occupation of planets(-)

The seventh house is occupied by Lord of 8^th House SUN and Lord of 5^th and 10^th house.

2. Aspects to 7^th House

There is no aspect to seventh house.

3.Position of 7^th Lord Moon (+)

The 7^th lord Moon is in 5^th house of the Natal Chart.

4. Position of 7^th lord of Natal Chart in 6^th house of Disgareement in Navamsa Chart (-)

 5.7^th House on Rahu Ketu Axis in Navamsa, Ketu being Karaka for detachment in house of Partnership , Marriage , Rahu karaka for Sudden ups and downs, doer of socially unjustifying acts, rule breaker. (-)

6. 7^th lord in Navamsa in 6^th house of disagreements and conjoined with 8^th lord of sudden death and rebirth ,Transformation (-).

7. 6^th lord house of disagreements aspecting 7^th house from lagna in Navamsa (-).

8. Mercury, the 7^th Lord of Navamsa chart in 8^th house in Natal chart. (-)

So, 6 points out of 7 are negative and hence was high probability of separation.

Seperation happened in June 2012 when she is having Jupiter Mahadasha and Mercury Bhukti. The lagna lord in Navamsa is Jupiter and Mercury is the 7^th lord. Kindly note the position of Mahadasha lord and Antardasha lord in Natal chart. Mercury is exactly placed 8^th from Jupiter in Natal chart….Truly coinciding with Jupiter Mahadasha and Mercury Bhukti. Jupiter is also lord of 12 house in Natal chart  and 12th house represents dissolution , loss.

Maruti Udyog Violence at Manesar--- Astrological analysis

Maruti udyog Limited was incorporated on 24th Feb 1981. We have taken time of incorporation of Company in Company affairs department as 10.30 AM morning and place of registration as Gurgaon , Haryana. Basis above coordinates , lagna chart is as follows:

Analysis of Natal Chart
-----------------------
The above natal chart shows Maruti lagna as Aries. Aries is a fiery sign and its owner is Mars. Mars represents fire, engineering . The Moon sign is Libra whose owner is Venus (Karaka for Vehicles). The presence of Moon (4th house lord representing masses or general Public)  in 7th house (house of relations) shows that Company will have good relations / image with masses. Venus (Lord of house of wealth (2nd ) and lord of Business (7th house) is in 11th house of Gains with Lagna Lord Mars. Hence lagna lord, 7th house lord and 5th house lord sitting in house of gains indicate good income from Vehicles Business (7th house represents Business).

6th House Analysis (Represents workers and labour force)
------------------------------------------------------------
Saturn in 6th house is in friendly sign and is also representer of labour force. Being lord of 10th (karma or production) and 11th house (House of Gains) , presence of Saturn in 6th house represents obstacles in production (Karma of Maruti) and obstacles / delays in gains. Jupiter being lord of 9th house (House of fortune) is in 6th house with saturn which shows that Company's fortune will face obstacles because of workers (Saturn).

If we treat 6th house as lagna of workers then house 1 (Natal ascendent) becomes 8th house of workers (being 8th from 6th)  and  Mars being lord of this 8th house is in 6th House (11th house has been treated as 6th from 6th). Hence violent accidents cant be rules out.

Navamsa Chart Analysis
--------------------------

The Navamsa chart has sixth house (House of workers) as Mars in Aries, its Mooltrikona sign. The lagna of Navamsa is also is scorpio whose owner is Mars. The Mars is having its 7th aspect to Venus in 12th house (being 7th from 6th shows relationship with workers).  Mars in 6th house in own sign is strong and Company will destroy its enemies. However it will also result in disputes and therefore its 7th aspect to Venus (Karaka of relationships) in 12th house in Navamsa shows aggressive attitude of workers with their partner (Company).

Transit chart of day (wednesday ,18th July 2012) of Manesar accident where a fire accident happened and due to Violence GM (HR) of the company was charred to death.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Company was running its Saturn Mahadasha , Mercury Antardasha, Mercury Pratyantardasha . This current transit of Saturn is sade sati for the Company. Look carefully at Natal chart and Mercury Mooltrikona sign lies in 6th house which is house of disputes, disagreements. Hence Saturn (labour)-Mercury (Disputes)  Mahadasha is bound to result in disputes with labour.

On the day of 18th July 2012, Saturn (labour force ) and Mars (accidents , violence, fire)  were conjunct in 6th house which is extremely bad situation. Again Treating 6th house as lagna of labour force / workers , Mars is lord of 8th house (its Mool trikona sign) in Transit Chart from this labour force lagna. Hence 8th house lord going to Lagna of labour force shows major accidents resulting in bodily injuries. Saturn being lord of 6th house from lagna of labour force (11th house is 6th from 6th and represents disputes) is in conjunction with 8th lord Mars shows major accident due to disputes. Both these planets are aspecting the 7th house (12th house of Transit chart is 7th from 6th) of relationships.

Maruti will run the Saturn Mahadasha , Mercury Antardasha , Mercury Pratyanterdasha till 21/10/2012. Saturn will move to Libra on 2nd august2012  and will be exhalted in that sign. However in this transit Saturn will be transiting over Moon rashi of Maruti Udyog which is generally treated as very  inauspicious. But due to Saturn  in exhalation, we see workers mood getting better after August 2, 2012 when saturn enters Libra and will remain in that sign till May 2014. Mars will move from its existing position from 29th september 2012 to Libra sign and will again conjunct Saturn in house of relationships. Finally Mars and Saturn Conjunction will be over post Dec 2012 when Mars will move into Scorpio.

Extra Marital Relations of the Spouse

I was approached by one of my office colleague in Mumbai who wanted to help one of her friend who was in real distress because of her husband’s illicit relationship with other women. I told him to provide the details which are as follows:

Date of Birth: 29/1/1970

Female
Place : Lautoka , Fiji islands

Time of Birth : 13:25

Moon Rashi : Virgo

Current Mahadasha :

  Sat-Mer-Mer till 23/7/2012

  Sat-Mer-Ketu  till  19/9/2012  
  Sat-Mer-Venus till 1/3/2013     

 The marital relations are decided from 7^th House and position of seventh lord in Natal chart and Navamsa.  The 7^th house is afflicted due to Debilitated Saturn aspect . The 7^th lord is in 10^th house and 7^thlord is also afflicted due to aspect of debilitated Saturn. Also Venus (Karaka for marital Harmony) the seventh lord is combusted in Natal chart. The mars (lagna Lord ) is also aspecting 7^th house from 12^th house (Dusthana) which is not a good indication.

The Navamsa chart 7^th house is also afflicted due to presence of 3^rd lord Saturn. The lord of 7^th house in Navamsa is mercury and the same has gone to 11^th house and is on Rahu Ketu Axis. This indicates separation. Saturn is also aspecting the lagna in Navamsa.  The 7^th lord of Natal chart is in 6^th house in Navamsa chart in his own sign. Here also Venus is combusted due to presence of SUN.

In the Natal Chart, Saturn is debilitated in 8^th house from Natal Moon. The 7^th house from Natal Moon has Mars.

Therefore all the indications above are pointing towards bad marriage and spouse.

To compound the problem, the transit is supporting her present condition on 4^th July 2012. Saturn is in Virgo and she is in the second phase of her Sade Sati. Further the current Mahadasha and Antardasha are supporting the existing circumstances.
