Vocation 3

Family Medicine Clinician 

(Paramedical Worker)

Atmakaraka = Guru

Arudha lagna = Kanya = domain-5

• 10th-from-Arudha lagna = Mithuna = reputation

• Chandra, Ketu, & Guru occupy 10th-from-Arudha

• The native is very well-known and respected in her American small town. She is a parent, a home-owner, and a health-care provider for low-income families (primarily mothers & children) from a wide variety of socio-economic, ethnic & linguistic backgrounds. Her medical advice strongly emphasizes oral prescription drugs and food diet (= Domain-2, also = 10th-from-Arudha).

• In particular she has a reputation for being a very caring healer, who is always available to talk, in person and on the telephone, night and day.  

• The negative aspect of her reputation involves too much talking (Chandra/Guru) which leads to appointment scheduling problems, giving out medical misinformation (Ketu) and inappropriate personal gains (L-2 Chandra/Ketu) from public service. However, despite problematic Ketu, her reputation is overall positive in her social environment.

This dedicated family health care worker operates a rural child & family medical clinic, primarily serving indigent clients. 

Note the predominance of Budha, Mithuna, and the famous "hosting and talking in groups" nakshatra Mrigashira. 

She talks all day, with parents and medical workers, about families (2) and children (5).

• Her profession combines expert clinical medical training ( uchcha Shani/domain-6) with intuitive conversational skills (empowered Budha in 10th-from-Arudha, dominant lord.)  

• The career situation is interesting: she is a gifted intuitive healer working in a highly regulated & routinized conventional public-health clinic (Budha lord of "healing hands" in rashi of uber-conventional uchcha Shani).  

• She is neither s treatment innovator nor a social change advocate. Typical of Shani in domain-6, this healer prefers to "work the system". 

• Despite an otherwise glowing professional profile, she is prone to overstep her professional knowledge boundaries (see Ketu/domain-2 and Surya below) which can evoke professional censure. (wherever Ketu goes, expect weak boundaries)

• The native speaks with deep compassion (Guru/domain-2) of the problematic lifestyles of her marginalized clients: drug addicts, prostitutes, elderly heart patients, illegal immigrants, young single mothers, & pregnant teenagers. Her clientele respect her as a non-judgmental and accessible (uchcha Shani) advocate for their well being. 

Navamsha lord of Radix L-10 Shani = Budha

Mantreswara's Phaladeepika says that the method of earning a living is determined by the navamsha sign occupied by radix L-10. 

In this nativity, 

• radix L-10 = Shani 

• Shani occupies a navamsha of Budha 

• Her daily work is Budha-dominated:  talking with patients, recording daily appointments, writing treatment plans, writing drug prescriptions, and transcribing medical records. Each patient record requires a considerable narrative which is updated at every appointment.

• She also writes daily reports to her institutional supervisors (Budha/Makara)

• The source of payments for the native's livelihood is the huge network of "insurance" billing companies (tricksters). The native has "adjusted" written records for purpose of increasing medical payments to the client or to the owners of the professional practice. Although this practice is widespread in the profession, legally it constitutes fraud.

• L-2/L-5 Budha is very fortunate financially and Budha is clearly the super-dominant lord in the D-1/D-9 nativity

• Wealth-builder Budha in domain-9 + lagnesha Shukra. Shukra = parivartamsha yoga + uchcha yogakaraka L-9/L-10 Shani.

• This native is appropriately salaried in her profession, but her disposable income is much higher than her salary would suggest due to inflows of family money. She hails from a land-owning family that funded her education & gifted her early investments.  She has added substantially to inherited family wealth through her own income (L-3 Chandra in domain-2 with expansive L-8 Guru for secret assets/inheritance).

• Budha occupies a rashi of conservative Shani.  The native communicates smoothly within large hierarchical organizations like hospitals, insurance corporations, & government medical networks.  She is cooperative & accepting of detailed legal paperwork, copious rules, and status pyramids.

Lord of Navamsha-10th = Guru

• L-8/L-11 Guru occupies radix Mithuna/2 along with Chandra & Ketu

• like the other significator L-2 Budha, L-11 Guru is financially positive.  As L-11 Guru enhances gainfulness, collegial support, and positive professional interactions with child.  Native works in pediatric and maternal care.

• Budha is lord of Guru, emphasizing the literate and communicative character of the native's career: this is a speaking, reading, writing, listening career

• L-8 can be a healer or a destroyer or both.  This native is a professional healer

• Ketu is materially confusing but spiritually helpful. In dhana bhava Ketu typically enhances wealth.

• L-3 Chandra is also a communication; L-3 with Ketu in dhanasthana a house of speech makes the native's speech modest and self-effacing.  In fact this native does not speak quite clearly, despite the reality that she talks all day.  She is also professionally impeded by a minor language disability related to Ketu and Budha being 8th-from-swakshetra.  Working in an international, multi-lingual environment she lacks ability to learn more than one language - despite her natural intelligence.  The singing voice is also unfavorable, and when stressed this native is prone to scream.

Lord of Dashamsha  = Budha

• Budha's lord is uchcha Shani

• Both Budha & Shani are career indicators playing other roles

• Budha is auspiciously located 4/10 (a career angle)  from his lord Shani

• The career is successful during Shani & Budha mahadashas (see vimshottari dasha below)

Karmaa Bhava  - L-10 & Aspects to L-10 = Shani

• Yogakaraka uchcha Shani is highly auspicious in 9th-from-10th

• Yogakaraka uchcha Shani, the highly auspicious L-9/L-10 for Taurus lagna, has parivartan with lagnesha/L-6 (for medicine) Shukra . 

• navamasha 10th-lord Guru sends drishti to both career indicators: Shani and Surya

Surya (somewhat inauspicious)

• auspicious: lord of 10th navamasha = Guru = drishti to both career indicators: Shani and Surya

• Surya in karma bhava = ego-identification with career & public recognition.

• Kumbha = house-10 = work for a Big Social System, such as health care, education, military/public safety, etc.  One generally earns via government agency or government contractors.  (In most countries, the civil government is the single larger employer.)

• Surya is weak in His enemy Shani's rashi of Kumbha, where Ravi becomes a renegade. Despite their own need for authority, these natives have low tolerance for broader social rules, and like to function independently within the big systems they are bound to. 

• When Surya occupies the prestigious 10th, they are ego-identified with their Big System, yet also rule-breakers within their system. They are proud of their ability to evade the rules.  They can get into moral & legal trouble as a result of their self-centered view that their personal value to the system is so high that they are exempt from system rules.

  • this sensitive and caring native occasionally misrepresents her credentials in order to "help the people". 

  • her willingness to bend the rules in order to help patients in pain, has resulted in pharmaceutical malpractice and insurance fraud 

  • However the native seems protected from serious professional harm, most likely due to the highly auspicious protection of Guru and Surya's uchcha lord Shani. Her most severe consequence has been an official reprimand.

• L-10 Shani exalted in Ari Bhava, 9th-from-10th much enhances professional reputation.  The strong social justice function of uchcha Shani alleviates most of the Surya-caused immorality (presuming the rules are for other people) which is often associated with Surya/Kumbha.

House-6 contains enemies, debts, & disease.  This native is a medical professional who has, throughout her career, served the classic 6th house population: primarily low-income, disabled, drug addicted, and socially marginalized populations in government medical clinics.

Surya= L-4 for education. Native completed her medical training under Guru/Surya; and she functions as a health educator in her practice.

Aquarius Sun/10 makes a leader of the common people, and a scorner of elites.  As Abraham Lincoln said, "God must love the common people.  He made so many of them."

Shani/Shukra period provided dramatic salary increases and professional honors. Parashara says Venus and Saturn give full results in exchanged dasha & bhukti. 

Yuvati bhava 10th-from-10th - day-to-day interactions, daily reality

• Yuvati bhava = Vrischika.  Lord Kuja is strong, occupying vyaya bhava in swakshetra Mesha, but unfavorably angled at 6/8 from swakshetra.

• Kuja has mutual aspect with career-definer Shani, so Kuja must play a career role.

• The native's day-to-day career activities are concerned with treatments of accidents and injuries (many self-inflicted) - in the 12-house of hospitals.  She spends considerable time in the hospital emergency room  (Vrischika) and frequently handles blood (Mesha).

Arudha of Karma Bhava - "Karmaa Pada" - public imagery or associations  = Mithuna/2.

• Mithuna = a very diverse house with Chandra, Guru, and Ketu. Mithuna is also a rashi of conversation and sexuality. 

• Dhana bhava gives speech & values.  This native is seen as a very interactive, inclusive, talkative person with abundant good female intuitive nature.  

• Working in maternal and child care, this native transacts a great deal of information about female sexual/reproductive relationships including the social context. Clients perceive her as very accessible in conversation, genuinely interested in their health situations, and emotionally involved in a good outcome.

Lagnesha = Shukra

• Shukra the lagnesha in dharma bhava, shows the native's life force natural projecting into the sphere of ritual religion & priesthood.  

•  Shukra enjoys an exceptionally auspicious parivartamsha with uchcha Shani, which means in practice that the lagnesha is a sort of Shukra-Shani hybrid.  

• The life force wants to be at the top of social hierarchy.  Shukra does not play a direct career role but He does direct the native's choices in all parts of life.  She chose a profession in medicine which gives the high status that Shukra likes.  

10th-from-Chandra - psycho-emotional true service

• Ceteris paribus, the 10th-from-Chandra is a relatively weak career indicator unless Chandra Himself is empowered.  L-3 Chandra is a contributing indicator but not a determining career indicator in this radix.

• 10th-from-Moon is Meena house-11, with Meena's lord Guru yuti Chandra & Ketu in dhanasthana. 

• This native's psycho-emotional vocation is community service.  She really wants to serve in the large bureaucratic networks represented by the 11th house.  Her emotional attitude toward her profession is that she wants to be a caring (Moon) generous (Guru) intuitive (Ketu) friend (house-11).  

• Meena's lord Guru being yuti Chandra, this native puts her heart & soul into her work.  Like most good medical practitioners, she relies considerably on her intuition (Moon/Ketu).  Although her professional choices are sometimes amiss,  public health clients truly love her.

temporarily, 10th-from-mahadasha-pati

This effect has to be tracked over time for each individual, and combined with other influences.

Regarding the Shani mahadasha there is no graha in 10th-from-Shani, in radix.  Shani Himself is a powerful career indicator thus the Shani mahadasha will give excellent fruit for career. At this writing the native continues to receive professional praise and high salary.

During Budha mahadasha, Shani does occupy 10th-from-Budha while also ruling Budha's sign in parivartan with Budha's co-occupant Shukra.  This combination suggests exceptional professional honors during Budha/Shani period.
