When a single graha plays several important career roles, that graha comes to define the career.  For most people, career profile is spread across several radix graha.

Primary career indicators

Lord of the navamsha of Radix L-10 - as this graha behaves in radix

  • Kuja

Navamsha L-10  - as this graha behaves in radix

  • Chandra

Lord of Dashamsha - as this graha behaves in radix

  • Shukra

Secondary career indicators 

Karmaa Bhava; L-10

  • Chandrfa

Yuvati bhava (10th-from-10th);  L-7

  • Kuja

10th-from-Chandra

  • Kuja

Surya

  • Budha

lagnesha  

  • Shukra

Arudha of karma bhava shows reputation (may or may not be related to actual performance!)

  • Kuja

10th-from-mahadasha-pati shows temporary career emphasis

  • Chandra


Prominent features of the Nativity:

  • Uccha Shani and Uccha Budha control the lion's share of grahas in this nativity. 

  • Chandra in Makara earth-element domain-4, with Rahu the taboo-breaker, under protection of the uccha Shani in lagna, suggests extraordinary boundary-redefinitions in a land-and-property based profession

    • The implications are both physical (for a material, earth element) and social (redefinition of female role within the profession) 

  • Shani = vargottama uccha in Thula lagna in Radix, Navamsha, & Dashamsha

    • This woman is dedicated, hard-working, committed, capable, and persistent in her work life!


  • This intelligent woman land surveyor has had a remarkable international career. She was one of the very few female professionals in geodetic science in the later 20th century. 

  • During Shani mahadasha, this native achieved maximum seniority & public recognition for professional excellence in her field. She is also still working! (Uccha Shani.) 

  • Typical of Shani, she has slowly but steadily advanced into a senior position in a manual-labor specialty. Due to her hard-working gender-neutral personality,  technical acumen for facts & figures (uccha Budha) & tolerance for the rough, outdoor nature of the job, she has not only survived as the only woman on male teams for 3 decades. She has flourished. 

  • She has a consistently high tolerance for routine, for the hierarchical "pecking order" in her male-dominated industry, and of course it helps that she is a raging  perfectionist (uccha Shani/uccha Budha) in her work.

  • In the maturity of her career she has substantial professional dignity to be able to choose her assignments, in world-wide locations that appeal to her.


Nakshatra directives for happiness & satisfaction:

  • Radix lagna = Chitra = Native should pursue a career which supports Chitra's inclination toward sudden revelations

For Chitra lagna, depending on dominant graha, a suitable range of professions spans psychological work with trauma & healing, medical diagnosis, counseling professions, investigative journalism, divination, intuitive and clairvoyant work, and into the realms of material science research. But do not expect consistent output or steady routine, at least until the end of life.

  • Navamsha lagna "swamsha" = Vishaka = soul's desire to feel intensity of perception, penetrating awareness, exposure of hidden knowledge, to create or participate shocking or suddenly enlightening situations. Flashes of anger and brilliance. Strong teacher; intolerant of ignorance or "hiding".

  • Radix Chandra = Shravana, pursuing destiny to create and protect one's public reputation in the conventional social hierarchies. Ascends to recognized position. This one is a watcher and a listener. Attends to details of organization and structure, is generous of spirit, endowed with good spatial perception. 

  • Navamsha Chandra = Anuradha . The native intuitively seeks out companions with the qualities of friendliness. These are alliance-makers and negotiators, often found in diplomatic, brokering, counseling/advising, and legal environments. Much of the native's land-surveying work has been legally re-definitive, causing much involvement in legal contracts and re-negotiation of terms. Also as a gender pioneer in her field, the native was constantly in a negotiating role to obtain privilege and professional recognition for her exceptional skills. She is not selfish or even especially entrepreneurial, but wishes to form strong partnerships that advance her position in cooperation with others.


Surya is not strong and the native is not well-known outside her immediate circle of colleagues and family. Due to uccha Budha she does occasionally write and teach in her professional specialty (geodesic science) but even as an established educator she is not overly comfortable under the limelights.

L-11 Ravi occupies the 12th house, generally a low-profile career position.  Surya is dominated by the exalted Mercury, giving great facility in mathematics (uccha Budha yuti Surya) and detail work of all kinds.   

After exploring several computational-mathematics-intensive professions, the native chose land surveying as a technical profession that would allow her to travel (uccha Budha/domian-12) while continuing to enjoy plenty of mental quiet & a good income into the bargain.  Ever the bean-counter, uccha Budha in Hasta nakshatra will never forget the importance of money!

Chandra = domain-4 = Makara = strong affinity for the Land.  Domain-4 careers include geologists, geographers, seismologists, and earth scientists of all kinds.

Surya = professorship in 9th-from-chandra, especially in company of the uccha Budha = articulate intelligence.  She regularly presents matters of theory and practice at technical conferences in her discipline.


Planetary Yogas: from B.V. Raman, "Three Hundred Important Combinations"

16. Subha-Vesi Yoga

  • Definition.—If planets other than the Moon occupy the 2nd from the Sun, Vesi Yoga is formed. [uccha Shani, very strong career benefits from dedicated work over time]

  • Results.— The person will be fortunate, happy, virtuous, famous and aristocratic.

29. Bharathi Yoga 

  • Definition.—The lord of Navamsha occupied by the 2nd lord is exalted and in conjunction with the 9th lord. [uccha Budha]

  • .Results.— World famous, a reputed scholar, fond of music, romantic, handsome, attractive, religiously inclined and bewitching eyes.

44. Sankha Yoga 

  • Definition — The lords of the 5th and 6th should be in mutual Kendras and the lord of Lagna must be powerful.

  • Results.—Fond of pleasures, humanitarian, blessed with wife, children and lands, righteously inclined, doing good deeds, learned in sciences, and living up to a good old age. [this yoga is not so strong because Shukra lagnesha occupies the rashi of enemy Surya]


Rahu/Ketu encourage her to pioneer 

Professional  domain-10 karkata = weak with dispassionate Ketu, but Chandra =  strong and casts supportive drishti upon swakshetra. 

Female native has succeeded, due to relentless persistence and an unassailable work ethic, in a very heavily male-dominated field. However the ultimate key to her pioneering success may be the Rahu/Chandra yoga which encourages her to take taboo-breaking social-emotional identity risks while remaining impeccably correct in most labor behaviors.

Dashamsha i=  vargottama L-10 Chandra = emotional steadiness. This stable, practical, material-goal-oriented Moon is further improved by aspect from D-10 exalted Guru.  Sun occupies Gemini/7 in the D-10 giving favorable influences for getting along with a variety of job partners.  The women who have broken barriers in male-dominated professions have needed tremendous emotional stability.


10th from Moon: rising Saturn exalted in the radix.  

(Compare to Jimmy Carter, US President.)  

Here is the real professional strength in the chart.  These folks are the tortoise-versus-hares of our world.  They need time to mature their opinions and behaviors, to decide what they really want out of their profession.  They are rarely the early shining stars.  Yet, they are survivors, personally and professionally.  They will eventually rise to the top or near the top of their profession.  This native is not only an expert technician in the world of modern surveying.  She also has a graduate education in modern satellite techniques.  


Native entered the professionally auspicious 10th-from-Chandra uccha Shani dasha in mid-life  

Since the onset of Saturn she has largely abandoned manual labor. 

She has been lecturing her peers in advanced computational techniques, operating at management level, and is gaining a solid international reputation in her field.
