How to analyse your career

Postby Shrikanth � Sat May 05, 2012 12:17 am

Rasi chart
The Rasi chart defines a sum total view of the native from a superficial
perspective. It provides a high level view of the native�s life. To use an analogy
of a human body - the Rasi chart provides a skin deep view of the native�s body.
Using the example of a Residential House, the Rasi chart would indicate the view of
the house as seen from the street. It would provide an perspective of the scale of
the house (big, medium, small etc.,), the outer covering of the house, contour of
the house etc.,

Dasamsa chart
The Dasamsa chart provides a more indepth view of the native�s life as it relates
to areas of the native�s actions in this life, how he uses his skills, talents and
natural abilities, the use of his intelligence in sustaining his life, the gains
and recognitions achieved by his actions.
It would also throw light on the challenges faced in performing his actions and any
setbacks in his career. It also extends to the areas of what vocation he pursues,
his roles in his vocation.

Purushartha trikonas
Human life is generally categorized to include 4 purusharthas - Dharma, Artha, Kama
and Moksha. Dharma trikona (houses 1,5,9) revolves around the Primary Reason the
creator created the native and the primary duties and responsibilities to be
fulfilled by this native. Artha trikona (houses 2,6,10) revolves around the factor
of sustenance for the native in carrying out his duties. Kama trikona (houses
3,7,11) is the area of natural desires that arise in human beings in various areas
of our lives. The Moksha trikona (houses 4,8,12) concerns with the native
connecting back to the source or the creator and pursuing a healthy curiosity in
knowing himself and his creator to find means of liberation.

In a Purushartha trikona (A,B,C) - house A indicates the seed of the house - what
is the starting point or the seed associated with that trikona. The House B
indicates what is the tool or method or means to achieve the trikona. The House C
indicates the end result associated with the Trikona.

For example in the Artha Trikona (2, 6, 10) - 2nd house can indicate your natural
resources - speech, face, eyes, family, assets, contacts, food we eat indicate your
natural resources as a seed factor for our sustenance. House 6 indicates the
sustained hardwork, overcoming obstacles and challenges, resolving issues in
earning a livelihood. House 10 indicates the end result - the career, recognitions,
promotions.

Karakas for Career

Karakas are planets that are natural significators that provide a major emphasis in
the area of Career. There are 4 karakas associated with the career.
Mercury - Primary Karaka for career related matters. Mercury is a rajasic planet,
quite adaptable to changing environments. The strength of Mercury indicates the
level of focus, sincere commitment and ability to constantly learn and adapt to
changing environments.
Jupiter - Secondary karaka that relates to areas of growth in your career. The
strength of Jupiter can also throw light on level of expertise, subject matter
knowledge, respect amongst peers and the growth and expansion in your career.
Sun - Secondary karaka that deals with areas of power, authority and leadership.
This is relevant for phenomenal growth in your career with major expansions in
power and authority. This karaka will help in increasing your leadership abilities
and bring about major opportunities for expansions.
Saturn - Strength of Saturn can bring about improvement in sincerity, commitment,
discipline, sustained hardwork.

D10 Karakas placed in D10 dusthana houses (6, 8 or 12) can cause major weaknesses
in the native�s career in the aspect indicated by the karakas. So if Jupiter is
placed in a dusthana house and Mercury is placed in the strength, the native may be
gainfully employed due the Mercury but will not find adequate growth and expansion
in his career.

Chart A - Dec 28, 1935; 4:15:04PM; Chennai, India.

This native born to a father who was successful lawyer, was never able to maintain
any job for more than few months. The native was uncouth, had fiery instincts, had
no education, always thought he could become a lawyer (like his father) but this
native had no formal law education at all. The native�s domestic life eroded
starting in 1980s. The native left home living a life of penury and begging in
Chennai.
Note the presence of Saturn in 10th in Rasi, 10th lord Rahu is in the 8th in Rasi
and above all Venus and Mercury placed in 12th in D10.

What do planets in Rasi chart indicate

As we know that planets in the Rasi chart are providing a birds eye view of the
life of the native. Yogas in the Rasi chart are still important and relevant. Yogas
associated with the Artha trikona (2,6,10) house lords will result in expansion on
financial wealth and prosperity. Yogas associated with the Kama Trikona will result
in fructification of desires, meeting of ambitions and goals.
When the same planets are associated in strength in the D10 chart and the Dasa of
that planets involved in yoga is running - there is a strong chance of that
event(s) occurring and yoga fructifying.

Example - Chart B: Aug 4, 1943; 11:21:00a; Halifax, Canada
The native has an beautiful voice, is a singer, involved with spiritual groups and
deeply entrenched into music.
Note how the 10th lord in Rasi is in the 12th house with Moon and Venus.
10th house in D10 has exalted Jupiter and 10th lord in D10 Moon is with Venus and
Ketu.

What do planets in D1/D10 chart indicate

Focus on 2-6-10 in D1/D10
In many charts of people working for others(employed professionals), there is some
links or connections between the 2nd, 6th and the 10th house. This is a quite
common phenomenon. Either the 10th lord is in the 6th or 6th lord is in the 10th or
strongly aspecting the 10th or in mutual exchange etc.,
This can either be in the Rasi chart or in D10 chart.

Lagna lord in the 2nd house indicates a native that is willing to work hard to
accumulate wealth, assets, focused on serving his birth family, relishes good
sumptuous food.
Native C: Feb 8, 1938; 3:30:00a; Gobichettipalayam, India
Note the powerful confluence of 4 planets (Jup,Sun, Merc,Venus, exchanging signs
with Sat) giving rise to a major Dhana yoga. The native lost his father at 6 and
went on to amass wealth worth many millions of rupees before his death in Aug 2004.

Lagna lord in the 6th house indicates a native that is work hard to overcome
obstacles and challenges in life, defeating competition, rivals, dealing with his
weaknesses, may have one or more addictions or obsessions, has material wealth but
lacks good health. Very close association to maternal uncles, cousins.

Example
Richard Cheney (ex VP of USA) - Jan 30, 1941; 7:30:00pm; Lincoln, Nebraska, USA
Leo Asc; Lagna lord placed in the 6th; Rasi 10th lord in the 5th; In D10 5th lord
in the 10th.

Lagna lord in the 10th house indicates a native thoroughly focused on his work and
career. If lagna lord is a malefic, he�ll be professionally successful but will
lack enjoyment and physical comforts.

Links between these houses usually indicates native derives his wealth and
livelihood by working for others and such an occupation brings him recognition and
prosperity.

Focus on 3-7-11 in D1/D10

Houses 3-7-11 form the Kama trikona and when these houses come into play, the
native�s is driven by his desires, ambitions and goal and work is defined by these
factors.

When the lagna lord is placed in the Kama trikona houses - or kama trikona lords
are in strength and associated with career related houses, then one is very
resourceful and creative. His work is primarily defined by his passions, interests
and derives wealth and recognition by following his desires and ambitions.

Lagna lord in the 3rd house along with a malefic planet makes the person
resourceful, creative, intelligent, brave and enterprising.
Native D: Dec 10, 1973 1:55:00AM; Chennai, India
Native is an brilliant IIT graduate, intelligent entrepreneur, built many startup
technology companies in Silicon valley - at age 39 works as Senior Management for a
Fortune 500 company.

Native E: Jun 27, 1967; 10:35:00pm; Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania, USA

Native is a highly spiritual minded, religious but independent minded, works as a
Alternative medicine/Acupuncturist in his clinic. Note the presence of Moon in the
10th house in D10.

Lagna lord in the 7th makes the person quite ambitious in life and has many
desires. Relentlessly pursues his passions and goals in life, has large network of
friends and acquaintances.
Examples -
Adolf Hitler - April 20, 1889; 6:30:00pm; Braunau am Inn, Austria�Hungary
Sanjay Gandhi - Dec 14, 1946; 9:27:00am; New Delhi; India
Lagna lord in the 11th house makes the person very intuitive and thoughtful. Such
combinations can make the person successful in pursuing vocations that need lot of
thinking and problem solving abilities. Very successful in higher learning,
spiritual or occult studies.

Entrepreneurs/businessmen or independent / Free lance professionals, creative

artists will usually have a strong links between their Kama trikonas and Artha
Trikonas.

Yogas in Rasi chart associated with Career.
Associations between the 9th and 10th gives rise to the Dharmakarmadhipathi yoga.
The native is fortunate with his career and derives a lot of wealth and prosperity
thru his vocation. The native is naturally inclined to perform Dharmic work and
carrying on traditions.

Associations between the 5th and 10th gives rise to much fame, power, authority and
following. People with this yoga usually rise up very quickly in their careers and
have the fortune of leading large teams/people, can play an influential role in
lives of many people.
Rabindranath Tagore - May 7, 1861; 3:00:00am; Calcutta, India.
Richard Cheney (ex VP of USA) - Jan 30, 1941; 7:30:00pm; Lincoln, Nebraska, USA
Leo Asc; Lagna lord placed in the 6th; Rasi 10th lord in the 5th; In D10 5th lord
in the 10th.

Associations between the 1st and 10th makes the native very sincere and hardworking
and fully committed and invested in his work and producing tangible outputs. The
native�s work bring him recognition, fame, wealth and prosperity.

Yogakaraka
A strong yogakaraka planet placed in the Artha Trikona can give rise to fruitful
and fulfilling careers. Yogakaraka planet in the 2nd house provides rise of wealth,
assets and prosperity. When a Yogakaraka planet is placed in the 10th house - this
can give good prosperous careers, good element of recognition and wealth,
fulfillment and satisfaction. A malefic yogakaraka like Saturn or Mars in the 6th
can work in defeating enemies, overcoming obstacles and amassing wealth and gains.
Venus in 6th can bring about some softness or weaknesses in dealing with rivals or
competition.

Yogakaraka planet placed in the 12th can bring about good fortunes when the native
travels/moves to faraway lands for work.

Career challenges
Houses 3, 8 and 12 are primarily responsible for giving some concerns or problems
in the area of career.

3rd house can give a short term downturn or setback in one�s career. Often when one
is bold, brave and takes proper initiatives, uses skill and creativity - one can
avoid the ill effects of a 3rd house related problems. In such cases enhancing ones
skill thru a rethinking of talents, more training or job related education,
certifications will help in overcoming such problems.

8th house can bring about much more prolonged period of setbacks like layoffs etc.,
When the 10th lord is placed in the 8th and afflicted and/or if the 8th lord is
weak this can also cause some weakened positions, lose favors from superiors, be
overlooked for promotions and may lose jobs etc.,

12th house can bring about a prolonged weakness in one�s career in a far away
lands. The native is producing much needed outputs, but he�s in a position of
losing ground. The native fails to be recognized for his contributions and gets
overlooked for promotions and other relevant benefits, inspite of hardwork and
initiatives. Native is usually quite charitable at work, quite forgiving and has
few ambitions and goals.

Service v/s Business

Generally the 6th house is considered the house of service or servitude, being a
servant and serving others. The 7th house is considered the house of desires,
ambitions and goals.

The native is driven by the stronger of two houses. When multiple planets reside in
the 6th but no planets in the 7th; 6th can be considered stronger. The native is
more focused on working for somebody else - not very desirous and less ambitious in
general.

Examples
Chart F: May 11, 1941; 6:16:48am; New York; New York, USA.
The native is rich and wealthy, earned most of her wealth thru inheritance.
Spiritually advanced, wise, learned in spiritual studies and shastras.
Works as a Yoga, Pranayama and Meditation senior teacher.

Note the extremely close conjunction and powerful combination of Jupiter-Merc-Venus

in the Ascendant. 10th lord Sat is with exalted Sun in the 12th house; 12th lord
Mars in the 10th.
D10 chart - 10th lord Venus is with Jupiter and Mercury.
Note the confluence of panapharas (2,5,8,11) in the D1 & D10 chart. Panapharas are
very important is understanding the native potential in learning spiritual studies,
occult sciences.

Chart G: July 16, 1948; 10:34:00a; Karur, India

The native worked as a Bank employee throughout his life and retired at a senior
position in the bank. Continues to work as commercial broker in securities, life
insurance or other investment vehicles. Note the combination of Venus, Mercury in
the 10th in Rasi in a Dharmakarmadhipathi yoga. Note the combination of Ketu-Sun-
Mercury-Rahu along the 4/10 axis in D10.

Excellent post Shrikanth ji with fabulous details.

One comment though:

When the 10th lord is placed in the 8th and afflicted and/or if the 8th lord is
weak this can also cause some weakened positions, lose favors from superiors, be
overlooked for promotions and may lose jobs etc.

8th is 11th from 10th house, and what I have read in this forum is that 11th from a
house typically amounts to gains. So in that respect, how can the 10th lord in the
8th house can be detrimental for 10th house (Note: The presumption is that the 10th
lord has no negative aspect by any malefic).

Or may be that one theory takes precedence over the other, just curious.

Re: How to analyse your career

Postby Shrikanth � Mon May 07, 2012 7:57 pm

Dear digvijaysingh,

As you notice few karakas are quite strong in D10; but Mercury is placed in the
12th house - which is a very big drag on the varga chart.

Secondly Rasi chart is not to be discounted.

Note presence of 10th lord Rahu (Rahu and Sat co-own Aquarius and Rahu becomes the
full owner since Sat is Aquarius) is in the 8th house with Sun-Merc. The other drag
is that Venus as the lagna lord is placed in the 6th - this causes some weaknesses
in dealing with issues, fighting obstacles and a tenacity to take challenges - this
causes a native to bog down or give up before a fight.

Saturn in 10th is also not a good placement.

Note how 2nd lord, 4th lord, 5th lord in Rasi have been relegated to the 8th and
eclipsed by Rahu in Sagittarius.

I'll try to share more charts to highlight this condition.

Dear Srikanth sir ,

8th house can bring about much more prolonged period of setbacks like layoffs
etc., When the 10th lord is placed in the 8th and afflicted and/or if the 8th lord
is weak this can also cause some weakened positions, lose favors from superiors, be
overlooked for promotions and may lose jobs etc.,

Here if the 8th Lord is placed in the 10th H , will there be similar effect ?

In my D10 , there is a DharmaKarmadhipati yoga between 9th L Sa and 10th L Ju in

the 10th H but here Sa is 8th Lord also .

Can DkA yoga also form by aspect , if so then i have DKA yoga in rasi chart also or
DKA yoga only forms by conjunction in the same house ?

Dear Krishnendudas,

When a planet is both the 8th and 9th lords it can give mixed results - meaning it
could do good and at another time do bring some pain as well - especially Saturn.

Your D10 is quite well endowed. There is high level of strength and immense
potential.
D10 Asc Gemini with Lagna lord Mercury and Karaka is well placed in the 9th with
the 2nd lord Moon.
Jup is well placed in a Quadrant with Saturn forming a strong Dharmakarmadhipati
yoga.
Other planets like Mars and Sun are well placed as well.

On the same token Rasi chart is quite strong as well Sun placed in Cancer in 10th;
10th lord Moon is in 5th with Saturn yogakaraka exalted in the Ascendant.

Current Jup should be quite beneficial - but I think there is better prosperity to
be expected after 2019.
in Saturn dasa.

Dear 2002diksha,

Your chart is a good example of what I've written in the post.

Rasi chart - there are 2 planets Mercury and Sun in the 6th house, none in the 7th.
So more service driven rather than desire driven.

D10 - Asc Taurus; Note the 2nd and 5th lord Mercury well placed in 10th house. Your
wealth is derived from the work in Mercury related fields (writing, journalism,
communications etc.,).
This is also true because Mercury is in the 10th from Sun, Moon and also from the
Dasa Lord Saturn - all placed in the Ascendant.

Note also the strength of Mercury in Navamsa

It is exalted and placed in a trine.

When did you get this job Jun 2006/Nov 2007

D10 : Sun and Saturn in the Ascendant (and also Moon) will cause sluggishness in
the prospects in career. The foundation of your career is weak. Though Saturn is
the yogakaraka - You'll need to strengthen Saturn by inculcating his principles in
your life - especially useful during his dasa.

Feel free to write about the kind of work you do, the workplace, what do you write
about, when you go the job, etc., I'm sure we'll all find it useful in learning.

Dear Shrikanth sir thanks for looking into my chart .
I have thoroughly read your post and as per little knowledge I have gained from
this forum , tried to analyse the chart of this native .
Birth details
11 sept 1987 , 10:35am , kolkata , india
In this chart almost all planets is influencing 10th H with Su , Ve, Ma in 10th and
Ju aspecting from 6th and Sa aspecting from Lagna .
Here Ve is placed in 10th H in both rasi and dasamsa but badly combust in rasi
chart . So less productive .
Ju aspecting 10TH H in rasi , placed in 10th in both navamsa and dasamsa but placed
in 6th in Rasi and has less than minimum required shadbala strength so unable to
give good result and that is proved by Su-Ju dasa which is placed in 2/12 in
dasamsa and he left his job due to work pressure but did not get a new one . Weak
5th L Ju also weakens chance in competetive exams . 5th H furthur afflicted by Ra .
Again placement of Sa in Lagna is always bad except Cap , Aq , Lib and Tau Lagna .
And again that too in an inimical sign of Ma and this Maraka Sa is aspecting 10th L
Su in 10th H , thus irrespective of mahadasa of 10th L he did not get good job but
also had to leave his low paying job .
But still this Sa has aspect on 10th H and in 11th H from dasa Lord Su in dasamsa ,
so I think he should be able to get job in this period . Need your opinion on this
point !
But Me is exalted in both rasi and navamsa and placed in 11th H and 2nd H
respectively . Although 5th H is weak but still I think that he has fair bit of
chance in bank jobs with respect to Me and now �a- days there is also a lot of
recruitment going on in banks or else business should be his option as mercury
stands for merchants .
Am I right about this reading . if not what kind of profession should he look for ?

Dear Srikanth ji,

I found your post very enlightening. I have a couple of questions and would really
appreciate if you can answer them:

1) When you mention houses in the post, are those calculated on the longitudinal
basis? In your extensive experience, is that the more accurate way ?
2) Is Saturn in 10th house always bad - what if Saturn lords over trine houses or
is exalted/in its own house, will that mitigate the ill effects ?

Thanks
KC

Dear kc123,

1) Yes, houses calculated from a longitudinal basis (traditional astrologers use

the sign counting - the whole sign becomes a house)

2) Saturn in the 10th is not bad unless you adhere to Saturnine principles in your
work. On the same token any planet will turn up negative if the native doesn't
adhere to the planets' principles in his work.
Jupiter in the 10th - will need the native to take up noble causes and be honest,
humble in his work.

Dear idontknow,

In Rasi chart Sun-Merc-Venus are in Pisces but they are mostly in the 6th house
(longitudinally)
Saturn is in the 4th (even longitudinally) aspecting the 10th - so any
laziness/insecurity/anxiety will weaken your job/career.

In D10 as well Saturn is in the 8th and aspecting the 10th but since Karaka Mercury
is exchanging signs with Saturn such a combination still will be fine.

In D24 Saturn is a yogakaraka in the 2nd house of higher studies.

You are currently in the period of Moon/Sat until Nov 2013.
So I'd say that if you are planning to do your higher this is the time to atleast
start it.

I wouldnt say that Merc is weak - but you can still strengthen it by visiting your
local Vishnu Temple regularly and reciting Vishnu Sahasranamam regularly at home.
This in a simple way to get both Saturn and Mercury strengthened during the current
period.

Regards
Shrikanth

Dear Shrikant ji,

What can we say about his future career?

L10 is exalted, so is L7/L12, L9 is also exalted and so are Rahu and Ketu, on top
of that there is an exchange between Mercury and Saturn (strengthening both
planets). The only drawback is that Mars is debilitated, and Mars being the co-lord
of the D10 lagna, what can we say about all that?
I have never understood how to read D10 charts and more specifically how to
interpret exalted/debilitated planets in D10.

Dear Shrikant ji,

Thank you for taking time to teach us. I've studied western astrology for a long
time, but just now starting to study vedic astrology in-depth, so please excuse my
novice level.

If you could, please analyze my chart for career. Admittedly, I have not worked in
at least 5 years now. Career was never stable, but workable. I do want to work very
much again, but do not like working for someone necessarily. I do like to be my own
boss. The problem has been feeling passion, worth and usefulness through something
I do. I also do not want to invest time pursuing a career that may not be the right
path. I am interested to know which field is best to pursue to actually make a good
living financially and feel worth as well. My interests are astrology (I've been a
western astrologer in the past), photography, working saving/rescuing animals
(little money), acting, music, and gemstones. If there are other careers which are
better suited to me then subjects I've mentioned, please indicate them.

Dear Shrikanth sir ,

One small question

Scorpio asc with 3rd Lord Sa in Lagna and aspecting 10th with Su in it .

Dosen't that mean that the person will have to find job by his own effort rather
than waiting for somebody else to help him in getting job especially during Su-Sa
dasa ?

As Sa stands for dedicated hard work !

birth details
11 sep 1987 , 10:35 am , kolkata ,india

He is a friend but he is misguided by others . Su-Ju dasa was of no good to him and
he even left his earlier job .Maybe because Su-Ju in 2/12 in dasamsa .

My previous post was also regarding this .

He thinks because of the aspect of Ju on his Lagna lord Ma , he will get job by the
help of somebody .

Re: How to analyse your career

Postby Shrikanth � Wed May 16, 2012 11:11 pm

Dear sekharn,

As I reviewed your chart - it seemed interesting.

I use longitudinal basis for reckoning houses from lagna.
So in my reckoning Lagna (Asc) is 19 Le 11; the first house spans from 19 Le 11 to
19 Virgo 11 and so on;
So Lagna lord Sun is placed at 9 Ar 08 is actually in the 8th along with Merc; Sat
(29 Ar 23) is in 9th house;

Rahu is placed in the 6th but Mars is in the 5th due to longitudes;
Venus and Moon are placed in the 7th house;
10th lord Venus is placed in the 7th house of ambition and desires.

This gives clues about the fact that there is more focus on being independent and
free thinking and driven by desire than by service/employed to others.

You may started your independent career during Venus/Moon around Feb 2002 - Oct
2003.

Reading your dasamsa D10

Karakas Merc and Jupiter are well placed in quadrants or trines; Sun is placed
average.

One other way to analyze this chart is to read it from the Karaka Mercury in D10
chart.
From Mercury Sat and Venus are well placed in the 9th. So I'm assuming that May
2010-Jun 2013 will be a period of lot of work flowing your way; but may not turn
into financial prosperity - There is more losses in this period.

Atmakaraka Saturn is in Anantamsa (indicating working on large sized projects

etc.,)

Based on reading the chart from the current dasa lord Venus placed in Capricorn the
period from Jun 2013 to Mar 2016 will be a much better in terms of satisfaction and
prosperity and growth.

Hope this helps

As per your longitudinal analysis my lagna lord is in 8th, so will that be a
problem for my growth... What ever u analysed about my career, everthing is
perfect... What does my Atmakaraka shani in Ananthamsa means... I am much motivated
towards my film making career... At anycost i should hit the target with a bang and
i have the confidence that oneday sure i will achieve it... otherwise there is no
use of my existence... Is the analysis you made about my D10 is also as per
longitudinal division... I had lot of breaks in my career till now but still
achieved some satisfaction... My Saturn is in Pushkaramsa as per my little
knowledge... and 3 planets jup, ven, moon are in the Nakshatra of Saturn which is
debilitated... does it make any difference sir...
I shall be obliged if you could kindly share some views about this and am i
supposed to do any remedial measures in order to pacify the effects of lagna lord

The dik palaka associated with the Atmakaraka planet indicates the

proficient.

Check the Dikpala associated with the Atmakaraka planet and also use the
Dikpala associated with the 10th lord in D10 to get a combined view of the
vocations and fields that are best suited for the native.

How do you identify the dik palaka associated with the Atmakaraka? Is it according
to the Nakshatra placement? Or the bhava placement?
Furthermore how do you identify the dikpala associated with the 10th lord in D10 (I
assume you mean the 10th Lord of D10 and not the 10th Lord of D1 placed in D10)?

both Rashi & Dasamsa.
2. 6th & 7th House related to Job/Business.

I am doing job but never satisfied and very strong desire to do the business. You

Srikanth Sir
Thank you for sharing your knowledge in such a lucid fashion. I happened to see
this thread while searching forsomething. My doubts after reading the article are

1) In the context of D10 (And other divisional charts) is the 3rd house considered
a mild dustana as in rashi? Or no dustana at all? If any of the karakas of career
find itself well placed in 3rd could we ignore dustana effects?

2) Your approach of identifying the karakas of a house and then analysing based on
its position in the corresponding divisional chart - can we extrapolate this
approach for other divisional charts as well? Apologies if I am asking about
something very obvious...
