Profession and Astrology
Undoubtedly each and every person on this planet would be having curiosity to know about his or her profession in advance, questions like which all fields suits me professionall y, in which area should I establish my business, what would I do after my school or graduation, will I be able to get establis hed in my profession, will I stick to one field or will I change many fields in my life time and the list of such questions are never ending. You You all must be thinking, why Nikhil is listing so many man y questions right in the beginning of his article, simple, I want to catch the interest of all those people who have such questions oscillating in their mind. Many people again and again reminded me to write something on this topic but you all know that the only issue with your friend Nikhil is time. o finally I am able t o steal some time !after putting the reports of some of my clients on hold" to write on this one of the most important topic of all times. o without wasting an y time let#s move step by step, to analy$e astrological reasoning#s behind someone#s career or profession. %ny guesses, what should be the first step in the analysis of profession. I am asking this question to all those people who know little bit of astrology, but all those people who do not know even the abcd of astrology astrolog y, they should &ust rela', as I have written this article for you people only, as you will completely read through the article, you will definitely learn a lot. o guys, what should be the first step. (mm, I can hear whispers, saying, Nikhil, obviously we have to start from) a" *+th house !house of career" and *+ th lord. b" ome more intelligent ones would even include the state of *+ th lord in - chart c" %nd as per few absolutely brilliant ones/ most of the steps should start and end in the -*+ chart !dasamsadivisional chart seen for 0areer related issues". 1elieve me, there are many intelligent fools out there, who will immediately &ump into the -*+ chart analysis ignoring the most basic concepts, these brilliant people are the first ones, who makes the complete mess from astrological rules. I am not saying that -*+ chart should not be analy$ed, of-course it should be anal y$ed but N23 in the very starting. o, those of you who are thinking in the line of any of the above 4 points !a, b, c" are completely wrong. None of these touch points should be your first step in the analysis of profession. %nyways, I don#t think that there was anybody out there who was thinking otherwise, but if you will ask me, I would say that these are certainly not the starting points or t he first step. Yes Yes obviously they are also important but not at the 5I63 3%78. (w.r.t any area of life, like in i n this case its o here comes the first rule, “before analyzing the Houses and their lords (w.r.t profession), YOU H!" H!" #O $%Y&" $%Y&" the '' '' *+#. *+#.
(ouse and lords comes later, %N%9Y %N%9YI I of :%6%:% should always be the first step. Indeed this is the reason why before analy$ing the first house and *st lord, we first have to analy$e the UN, which happens to be the karaka of * st house tate of the un un is the first brick of %362927Y, %362927Y, since it#s the :araka of * st house. o hope you people are getting what e'actly your friend Nikhil is trying to e'plain. (ence 5rom here, we wi ll learn everything from scratch. 6emember I am not asking you to omit, house and lord analysis, certainly not, I am &ust asking you to %N%9Y8 %N%9Y8 :%6:% first. o what are the :arakas then, let me &ust list all possible karakatvas for the beginners.

Now you all must be wondering that why the hell Nikhil is giving these :arakas even more importance than (ouses and house lords, so dear all understand this in &ust * sentence/ If you are living in a rented house, then will you be more important or your landlord would be more important from the angle of ownership@ 2bviously landlord, since landlord is the permanent owner of your residence. If he wishes, he may throw you out. 6ight imilarly :arakas have permanent ownership of all possible parameters/ you may have A different lords !there are A planets e'cluding nodes" of any house as per different ascendant but karaka will permanently represent any specific parameter or house. =hatever may be the ascendant %ries, 3aurus, 7emini etc, but un will always be the karaka of your * st house, th house, *+th house and father, any planet may lord over B th house, depending on the ascendant sign but Moon will always be the :araka of your B th house and mother. 2k so now let#s come back to our main topic which is profession. Now you know that first step has to be karaka, hence aturn is the :araka for profession or you can say aturn is the karma karaka and ;upiter is your ;eevakaraka !self significator", hence whenever you wish to study about your !elf;upiter" career !:arma-aturn" astrologically, then you have to start your anal ysis from aturn and ;upiter. *+th lord, *+th house, *+th sign, Navamsa sign of *+ th lord, -*+ chart, %99 3(I =I99 02M8 9%386, (ope I am very clear on this. o, the most powerful influences on your aturn and ;upiter will actually determine the basic stream of your career and many a times your area of interest or passion. 3hese influences on your aturn and ;upiter will give you the first clue about your area of profession. 3he question arises here is, how/ Now to answer this Chow#/ the first thing you all need to know is the parameters which falls under each planet, so that you all could come on my wavelength because you know that your friend Nikhil cannot walk alone on this path of learning, I need to take all of you along with me. 6ightD o first I will list few concepts and then I will answer that Chow# through a very simple e'ample)

I know after reading all those, a, b, c, d, e and f points many of you must be wondering that Nikhil, like this all the professions of the world would suit everybody 1U3 8%6 %99, this is simply not the case. %s I have said that the most important factor is your * st step based on karaka. ?2IN3 a, b, c, d, e and f, (2U9 18 ;U3 U8 32 5IN8 3UN8 3(8 ? 68I03I2N 9%I 2=N 1Y 3(8 5I63 38?.

Now let me &ust take an e'ample to make you understand the methodology more clearly and emphatically. 3hese are my birth chart details) Nikhil 7upta +>nd Nov *HB +)**)**am elhi, India I have taken my educational ualifications in the field of ele*troni*s and *ouni*ation engineering (' years) and %=A (arketing) (2 years), I had done the ;ob in world#s number * consulting firm in the field of tele*o auditing (for 1 year) &ust after my 1.tech. "in*e the age of 1$ , I am also into various occult practices like edi* Astrology ("in*e last $ years"till A*tive), palistry (sin*e last 12 years "till A*tive), fa*e reading (sin*e last 5 years"till A*tive), handriting reading (sin*e last 5 years"till A*tive), astu (sin*e last 5 years"till A*tive) and nuerology (sin*e last 5 years"till A*tive) but my current earning are coming from the field of indi?rdu poetry (sin*e last $ years"till A*tive) and I am also practicing singing (sin*e last 12 years"till A*tive) !hence also plans to make my career in the field of music". I write a lot on occult sub&ects, hence I am also into riting ("in*e last $ years"till A*tive) and I also teach occult sub&ects, hence you can say that I am also into tea*hing ("in*e last $ years"till A*tive). I am taking my e'ample because I am into so many fields that my chart would serve as a detailed e'ample for making you all understand the e'act methodology of interpretation. 1asically we have to analy$e that which all astrological factors have forced me into t hese fields and with what intensity !i.e. since how long I am into a particular field".
