Vocation

Neonatal Nurse, Parenting Teacher, Volunteer Children's Coach

Atmakaraka = Surya (politics, glamour, center-stage)

L-6/ L-9 Guru = bhava-8 (emergence, hidden factors, sudden changes, birth-and-death) = the predominant ownership graha in this nativity.

Emergency medical care for severely premature babies,

L-1 = Chandra and Guru owns Chandra in both D-1 and D-9.Therefore Guru has quite a bit of influence in the native 's social identity and public recognition. Her social profile extends beyond paid work to a variety of public activities including volunteer teaching and world travel, all encompassed in Guru's portfolio as L-6+L-9 lord of L-1 Chandra.

• Supplementing her professional career, the native is also an equestrian enthusiast (L-6 for animals).

• Also she has for decades been a volunteer coach for trauma-disabled (bhava-8) children (Guru) learning to ride horses.

• She is also an inveterate world traveler (L-9)

Arudha Lagna = Vrischika, bhava-5

• 10th-from-Arudha lagna= Simha, occupant Shanhi

• public perception of the native 's career = Shani. Conventional public professional appearance. Shift-work at a hospital, many rules and regulations including labor union and strict scheduling laws.

• During her career nurses unionized and struggled to organize politically along blue-collar union patterns (Shani/Simha for ethical empowerment struggles). The unionization (Shani) process was criticized (Shani) somewhat due to the history of nursing as either a charitable or highly professional occupation but not a laboring class status. the native was a shop steward and she sometimes opposed hospital administration including physicians. Thus Shani in 10th-from-Arudha Lagna!

Lord of 10th navamsha = Budha.

• Radix Chandra yuti Rahu in bhava-9 Meena = karaka for highly unusual, taboo-breaking children (the infants are severely premature, some as young as 5 months gestation.)

• Guru in bhava-8 = emergencies, dangerous or taboo situations including impending death, and sudden changes.In Kumbha, the native 's professional environment is the modern super-electronic hospital.

• Native was an intensive care nurse and master teacher of nurses and mothers of dangerously premature infants (dharma bhava for teachings within the priesthood).

• Native was recognized as a profoundly gifted healer in her professional setting.

Lord of bhava-10 Kuja in a navamsha of Shani:

• Physically demanding work, industrial labor scheduling (40+ hour week, union-labor environment, native's work schedule and duties are controlled by the institution or organization.)

• "industrial medicine" is the work environment, a huge university hospital employing thousands of workers in a tightly regulated hierarchical system

• Approach to medicine in this environment is distinctively materialistic, concerned with physical symptoms, mechanical procedures to address the symptoms, machinery (much of it electronic, Kuja/Kumbha), and "mass processing". (Contrast to other approaches to medical practice which might include a long-term healer-client relationship, less emphasis on regulations and schedules, etc.)

• In a second phase of career, this healer did leave the huge industrial-medical complex and enter into private practice as a medical social work consultant. But immediately she became involved in the giant "nervous system" (kumbha) of the USA social service provider network. She is very much at home in the world of policies and procedures, rules and regulations, and expects to spend much of her medical day involved with paperwork and other tasks required to keep a large organization in good signal-communication. (Contrast to healers who could not tolerate the loss of healing time to any type of administrative interference.)

Lord of 10th radix is Kuja.

• Kuja in radix Kanya, sign of medical information management.

• Both radix L-10 and navamsha L-10 are engaged with nodes in radix, suggesting an unusual career where psychic intuition and the taboo boundary between life and death play a major career role

• Kuja in Kanya/3 is typically very detail oriented, critical of others, and perfectionistic. They are excellent technical specialists but rather difficult to work with on teams. the native was highly regarded for her facility with the advanced medical technology that keeps unthinkably premature babies alive. She worked in a pre-eminent university neonatal research hospital. Parents of these highly endangered babies considered this native singularly responsible for the life of their tiny children.

• Despite her lifesaving skill and the social praise it earned, the native experienced frequent "burnout" associated with high stress. Colleagues considered her a terror. She eventually became quite ill from the stress, and was forced to leave the profession.

• Kuja provides an insight into the technical perfectionism and criticism of self and others which eventually caused this gifted healer to suffer workplace friction and the breakdown of career.

L-10 Kuja's role in navamsha

• career in medicine, because radix L-10 occupies navamsha-6 in Meena, a healing sign.

• emergency/intensive care medicinecontrolled by electronic device networksis indicated by BOTH radix Chandra's lord AND navamsha Kuja's lord (i.e., lords of L-10 radix in navamsha, and L-10 navamsha in radix) being the VargottamshaGuru in Kumbha (electronic signal networks)

• Since both career indicators have the same lord and the lord is VargottamshaGuru plays a major environmental role in career. Planetary lords create environments.

Ravi in 11th house of community 11th house service

• Labha bhava is a good place for the Sun to be. Sun in labha bhava makes natural community developers, social workers, and organizational leaders.

• Of Sun in vedic Taurus/11, Das Goravani says "The Sun in this sign makes you noble, with the welfare of the entire nation in your heart. Dignified to the core, sensitive to every thought, you also have a great fondness for music and the fine arts. You respect learned persons, artists, and eminent thinkers. You outshine everyone, like the Sun in the solar system. "

• L12 Mercury yutiSun adds intelligence in sanctuary settings, such as hospitals.

10th Lord = Yogakaraka Kuja

• L-5+L-10 Mars in 3rd house of the hands, engaged in the Ketu/Rahu axis with child-loving Pisces Moon, shows creative, professional, manualinvolvement with children in danger.

• Her career has always been based on her healing hands = the keynote of skilled nursing.

10th House occupied by Shukra

• Venus brings natural female energy, L4 caretaking energy and L11 community service orientation plus earnings, into the career. Career is strengthened because Venus is dispositor of public-role Sun.

• Karmaa bhava is Aries, ruling warrior skill, blood, steel, sharp cutting instruments, etc. Neonatal nursing environment is populated predominantly by skilled females fighting against infant death, using sharp metal objects such as needles and knives, and handling lots of blood

• Native entered nursing school Venus/Venus. She enjoyed a steadily improving, gainful, and well respected nursing career at a prestigious university hospital during the twenty years of Venus mahadasha.

• Sun/Sunbrought sudden retirement through a near-fatal illness. L2 Surya is a major maraka. Native was severely weakened but survived, due to Surya in kendra from own house and positive strength of Surya in D-9.

• LagneshaMoon/Moon initiated a ten-year period of community service through mentoring, education, and leadership roles in organization which assist handicapped children and their families.

Pisces Moon "wakes up" Pisces house in every varga, including the 10th dashamsha. 10th dashamsha contains Shani, who represents restriction, difficulties, and social criticism - but Pisces is always the sign of children. In this case, children with many restrictions in their lives.

10th from 10th - peer-advising relationships

• Makara (Capricorn) with lord Shani occupying Simha in dhana bhava, 8th from his own house.

• Peer-advising relationships are strained, due to Shani's unfavorable angle from the house of counseling and advising alliances. Because 10th-from-10th is a foundation for matters of the 10th, her professional ascendancy has been harmed by difficulties in forming relationships with other professionals who could advise her and promote her interests.

• Typical of Shani's lordship for the house of partnership for Karkata lagna, the native does not enjoy easy equal-to-equal relationships. In Simha and in 8th from swakshetra, Shani is perpetually upset by ethical wrongs. the native suffers from guilt and blame syndrome (which has badly affected her health). She has never married, and her family historyis both morally and materially unsupportive (Shani/2).

• There is a deficiency of trust in life in general (Shani/Simha) which is masked by the appearance of pride (false confidence), independent decision-making (inability to consider advice), and moralistic rigidity(holding on to grievances).

10th from Chandra - psycho-emotional true service

• Sagittarius, the 6th house of illness, ruled by a weak Jupiter in randhra bhava the healing and taboo house, which is also 10th-from-Sun.

• Lord of 10th-from-Moon occupying 10th-from-Sun is generally auspicious for public recognition of one's work, however obscure or mysterious that work might be. Native's natural healing capabilities with special children have never been well paid, but she is publicly recognized through her nursing credential and awards for teaching service with handicapped children's service organizations.
