Changes in Career By Prof. Sharad C. Joshi, India Editor: Maurício Avila, Brazil A Sharad Joshi has been an old hand in astrology. Since 1981 he is the Honorary Professor and Research Guide in K.P & Sayan at Bharatiya Vidya Bhawan, Mumbai. He has been author and guide to nearly 12 books in astrology and some of them have been path breaking books. His book on Primary Direction received appreciation letter from Research Director James Holden of American Federation of Astrologers, Arizona, USA. He has lectured in numerous conferences and his articles have been published in many reputed journals of astrology. s a student of Astrology, while doing the pre mortem of charts and predicting on a particular field of life. All the knowledge which I have acquired through the application of certain combinations considering the analysis of the inherent strength of the charts allied with the study of the time factor - using dashas/ progressions with transits evaluation - in which I have found, in my humble experience, working consistently I will share with the readers through this article. Establishing a set of rules which are dependable in practice and demonstrating the proper application with few examples seems the best methodology to be adopted. Therefore, this article will follow those parameters. Basic Rules Consider the nature of person, whether native is ambitious, wants stability, is active in a different field, satisfied, risk taker, speculative, etc. Consider the house of karma, i.e. 10H. This house is related with profession, service, business, earnings and activity. The 7H is related with business and 6H is related with service. Changes in a career are seen from the 5H [the 12H from the 6H (service) and 8H from the 10H (profession)] and the 9H (12H from 10H and also a house of Bhagya). Changes for better prospects When the “time factor” (Dasha/ Progressions) activates the 10H, 6H/ 7H with 9H or 5H or both with the 3H, 2H, 6H and the 11H, it indicates changes that bring good fortune in one’s career. Compulsory changes When the “time factor” (Dasha/ Progressions) is activating the 10H, 6H/ 7H with the 9H or the 5H. Or when the 9H/ 5H is activated with the 3H, 8H or 12H then we can predict a non desired change or a break in career during the time in which the above combinations of planets are activated. When the “time factor” (Dasha/ Progressions) is activating the 10H, 6H/ 7H with the 9H or 5H. Or when the 9H/ 5H is activated with the 3H, 8H, 12H or 2H then the native will remain continuously on an undesired career in a compulsory situation. Transits Saturn should influence the 10H or 9H in transit at the time of the event. Now we will discuss the charts as per the basic rules proposed in this article. Chart 1.

Moon is in 10H conjunct the exalted Sun (Status karaka). Sub lord of Ascendant, 3H and 9H are related to dual sign planet Mercury, being in his fall sign, indicates that the native is very ambitious, sensitive, aggressive, hasty and always try to get something more than he has at present due to Mercury and Moon influences. Career Sub lord of 10H is exalted Sun is in 9H as a lord of 2H with Ascendant lord Moon. Sun is in Ketu’s star in 11H, in the fixed sign of Taurus, whose lord is Venus in 8H as the lord of 4H and 11H with Jupiter as the lord of 6H and 9H. It indicates that native will prefer: 1] To join in family business (Sun Karaka of Father, 9H, 2H and 4H indicates family business); 2] To join service (Sun’s star lord Ketu represented by Venus conjunct Jupiter as the lord of 6H and 9H). When native has cleared his 10th Board exam, his father had asked me which line is preferable for further study. At that time I had suggested selecting a short term line related to Drugs and Medicines. 4H sub lord Venus is in 8H with Jupiter as the lord of 6H and 9H. 9H sub lord Rahu is placed in 5H in Scorpio sign; Rahu is in Mercury’s star (karaka for education) in 9H (higher education) as the lord of 3H and 12H. Native completed his Diploma in Pharmaceutical study in 1996 after his graduation. Initially, after completing his studies till March 2006, he was with his father business (left business on personal ground) and joined service in a Pharmaceutical company. In service since May 2006 till today he has changed jobs 5 times, having worked in different companies. Dasha Period Mars dasha was up to May 2006. Mars is in 11H as the lord of 5H and 10H. For Cancer Ascendant Mars is Yogakaraka planet. It is conjunct with Saturn as the lord of 7H and 8H. Karaka for family business is aspected by Jupiter from 8H as lord of 6H and 9H. Mars is in Rahu’s star and Rahu sub which is posited in 5H. As given in basic rules: 10H (karma), 11H (fulfillment of desires), 7H (business), 8H (disturbances), 5H (change in a career), 6H (service) and 9H (change in a career). Before Mars dasha Moon dasha was on, and Moon is a strong significator of 10H house with Sun, as discussed above, so he joined family business after his studies. But as Mars indicates 5H, 9H and 6H he left the family business and joined service. Transit As discussed in basic rules, Saturn’s transit influence on 9H or 10H lead to some kind of change in a career either for positive or negative side. From 2006 till today (2013), Saturn is transiting from Cancer to Libra. Saturn affects the 10H or 9H house as follow. From Cancer sign it aspects 10H sign Aries, which is rising on 10H house. Also, Saturn aspects Moon which is placed in the 10H (Ascendant Lord) and Sun (Lord of 2H and karaka for father). As a result he left the family business on dispute ground. Saturn’s transits In Leo also affect Jupiter, the lord of 9H. Saturn’ transit in Virgo also affects the 9H and the lord of 10H and 5H Mars. Saturn’s transit in Libra also affects the 10H, Moon and Sun (Lord of 1H and 2H). Also transiting Saturn is aspected by radical Jupiter (lord of 9H and 6H) from 8H. In above discussion all the basic rules for a change in a career as given in the beginning of this article have been fulfilled. Chart 2.

Lord of Ascendant Mercury is in its own sign in 10H, Mars aspects Ascendant and Ascendant lord. Moon is in a fiery dual sign and is in aspect with the Ascendant lord and Sun. 1H house sub lord Mars is on 7H cusp in Mercury’s star and aspecting Ascendant and Ascendant lord Mercury, Jupiter is placed in Ascendant and Sun. 3H cusp sub lord is Moon as discussed above, and it is in the star of Ketu which is also posited in a fiery sign. Moon is closely conjunct Saturn though in different sign. 9H sub lord is Sun in 9H aspected by the fiery planet Mars, who is conjunct with Ascendant Lord Mercury. Mercury is in 10H in aspect with Moon who is lord of 11H in 3H. All above astrological combinations indicates that the native is very intelligent; having the habit of doing any work in more than one way. He is ambitious and also cautious with his dignity and status. Career Ascendant Lord is in 10H in Gemini sign; Jupiter (finance karaka) is rising on Ascendant. Mars from 7H aspects Ascendant and the combination of Ascendant Lord plus Jupiter indicates that the native will try to earn money through more than one way. 10H sub lord is Saturn (Lord of 5H and 6H) conjunct Moon (11H Lord). It indicates that the native will seek a stable career. Saturn is placed in a star of Mercury, which is a dual planet posited in a dual sign in 10H (Karma). 6H sub lord is Mercury which, as discussed above, is in Jupiter’s star (dual planet). He has started his career as a full time accountant in a company (service) and with part time Lic Agent (Life insurance agent) as suggested to him. From 1999 onwards he was asking what else could he do (work) for a long time career, since he was not satisfied with his service activities. At that time it was suggested him to be a full time LIC agent. He left the job in May 2001 and started his full time activity as an agent for LIC. He has not turned back since then and is carrying out his career as an LIC agent. Not only that, but once he reached the top highest premium collector on a financial year in his company. Nowadays he is an employer and a person is working under him as an employee. Dasha Period Till 1999 December he was passing through Moon Dasha, which is in conjunction with Saturn, it indicates that he is more safety cautious as Saturn is also the karaka for service and the lord of 6H, Saturn is also sub lord of 10H. From 2000 onwards Mars dasha started, as said above, he is the lord of 8H (Insurance), 7H (business) and his star lord is Mercury (Agent). It’s placed in Moon’s sub which is lord of 11H (fulfillment of desires) placed in 3H (Agent) and conjunct Saturn (lord of 5H and 6H), which is in aspect with Venus (lord of 9H and 2H). As suggested in basic rules, 7H (business), 5H and 9H (change in a career), 8H ( representing the initial disturbance due to changes and also the nature of source of income (insurance). Saturn is not only sub lord of 8H but is also a strong significator of the 10H. The 11H (fulfillment of desires) and all above mentioned houses are related with Mars Dasha. Transit In May 2001 when he started his full time career as an LIC agent, at that time Saturn was in Taurus sign, which is rising on 9H in the natal chart and it was in conjunction with Venus who is lord of 9H and 2H. So, in this chart all the basic rules for a change in career are fulfilled as presented above. Chart 3.

Ascendant sub lord is Rahu in an earthy sign in the 9H posited in Mars star. Mars is lord of the 4H, 5H and 12H in its own sign Aries. 3H sub lord Venus is in 12H with Sun and Saturn, Venus is in Ketu’s star in the 3H. 9H sub lord Moon is in a intercepted sign in Pisces, being posited in the 3H as the lord of 8H with Ketu. Moon is in Saturn’s star, which is in 12H as the lord of 2H and 3H with Sun and Venus. All these factors indicates that the native is ambitious, but due to lack of concentration and or somewhat carelessness and speculative tendency due to 5H/ 1 8H relationship along with 2H, 6H and 11H. Hunting Moon position also play a main role here, the native cannot come up in life due to restricted environment or carelessness. Career 10H sub lord Mercury is in 11H as lord of 7H and 9H, is placed in Saturn’s star (karaka for service). He started his service in a Government financial institute. Saturn is with Sun (government) and Venus (Lord of 6H and 11H). At the same time he started to invest in the Share Market (relationship between 5H and 8H, Mercury is also karaka for speculation). Ascendant sign is of dual nature, its ruler (Jupiter) is in a cardinal sign and 10H sub lord is Mercury (dual nature) and its star lord (Saturn) is also in a dual sign. All this indicates more than one sources of income. ____________________________ 1 Hunting Moon: Conjunction, square or opposition between Moon and Saturn in the Birth chart. Dasha Period During Mercury/Venus dasha he started his career (1981) as described above. In 1998 and in 2006 I have warned him that due to health issues (particularly Eye’s problem) he may not be able to continue performing their activities at work, that around 2010/ 2011 he may have to leave his job. The native left the job in May 2011 due to eye sight problem, he cannot see fully as a normal person and both the eyes are afflicted. 2001 onward native is passing through Venus dasha, who is in 12H as lord of 6H and 11H; it is in Ketu’s star, which is in 3H in intercepted sign conjunct with Moon (lord of 8H). Venus is in conjunction with Sun (lord of 9H) and Saturn (lord of 2H and 3H). Dasha lord’s are in Saturn’s sub as previously discussed. Dasha lord is signifying 6H, 8H, 9H and 12H along with 11H, 2H and 3H. Eyesight is indicated by Sun, Moon and Venus. They are all are afflicted by Saturn. Venus and Sun are in conjunction with Saturn in 12H house (defect). Moon is in Saturn’s star and square with Sun and Saturn (both are in 12H) thus all the karakas of eyesight are afflicted in the birth chart. Not only that, but sub lord of 2H (Sun) and 12H sub lord (Rahu) are also connected with Saturn who is in 12H. Native was passing through Jupiter sub period in Venus Maha dasha (Venus/ Jupiter), when he left the job because of health issues (eye’s problem). Jupiter is the Ascendant lord on the cusp of 11H in its own star, and placed in the sub of Venus. Sub period ruler (Jupiter) is in aspect with Mars (lord of 4H, 5H and 12H). I n Vedic astrology it’s said that, certain sub periods are not giving good results in certain dashas. Those are as under: Saturn/ Sun and Sun/ Saturn; Mars/ Mercury and Mercury/ Mars; Jupiter/ Venus and Venus/ Jupiter. So, in this case, I have applied this rule while reading the chart, but not only this rule since the houses represented by the Maha dasha and sub period planets are also important for such type of judgment. Transit D uring 2011 Saturn was transiting through Virgo sign, which is intercepted sign of 9H in the chart. He started his career over the same transit influence, when Saturn was in Virgo sign in 9H. Let’s review the basic principles for changes in career. Dasha and sub period ruler connected to 5H or 9H combined with a supportive transit of Saturn through his influence over 9H or 10H will definitely bring changes in a career for better, or compulsion to accept the situation, depending on the chart’s strength.
