Rashi of Chandra 10th-from Leadership roles

" By working faithfully eight hours a day, you may eventually get to be a boss and work twelve hours a day."

~~ Robert Frost

" There is dignity in work, only when it is work freely accepted."

~~ Albert Camus

Noah's ark was built by amateurs.

The Titanic was built by professionals.

~~ a Yale University management professor issued a grade = " C" for Fred Smith's " unfeasible" student paper

at a time when few people - including business professors -- could think " outside the post-office box" , smith's essay proposed a reliable overnight delivery service

(After graduation from business school, smith the astoundingly successful Federal Express Corp.)

The professor wrote,

" The concept is interesting and well-formed, but in order to earn better than a ‘ C', the idea must be feasible."

without killing them,

used to burn their houses down

-- hence the expression " to get fired."

Titles and Positions of Authority (10th-angle)

The government inspector said to the farmer, " I need to inspect your farm."

The old farmer said, " You better not go in that field."

The Ag representative said in a 'wise' tone,

• " I have the authority of the U. S. Government with me.

• See this card? I am allowed to go wherever I wish on agricultural land."

So the old farmer went about his farm chores.

Later, the farmer heard loud screams and saw the Department of Agriculture rep running for the fence.

Close behind was the farmer's prize bull.

The bull was madder than a nest full of hornets and the bull was gaining at every step.

The Old Farmer called out: " Show him your card!"

Stressful job karma

QUOTATION from B.V. Raman, A Catechism of Astrology [4th edition 1992] part II, page 2

Q. How are predictions on profession made? There are differences of opinion on this point.

• Some read profession from the 10th house from the Ascendant or the Moon.

• Some read it from the Navamsha lord-of-the-lord of the 10th.

• The first house also indicates profession in 'Prasna'.

All these have to be looked into and the strongest one indicates 'profession'." [end quote]

Changes in professional status often occur under influence of the karma-pati, or under influence of yuvati-pati the ruler of the 10th-from-10th

Promotion to higher rank often during period of karmesha or labha-pati, or ruler of 10th-from-10th or ruler of the emotionally dignified , social-ordering, leadership-seeking 10th-from-Chandra.

Karmesha tends to bring rank and status whereas labha-pati tends more toward gain of revenue, but ruler of 11 also signifies every species of material goal and awards for work accomplished so if a promotion is actually a reward for work already accomplished then it occurs under auspice of ruler of 11.

sudden change of career status often beneficial or 'lucky' during Vimshottari Dasha period of ruler of 8th-from-10th = 5th-from-lagna

Dissolution of leadership status or draining of the public reputation = period of dharma-pati = 12th-from-10th

Emotional conditions and reactivity toward the duties and obligations of the adult career = the lord of 10th-from-Chandra

Certain world leaders are extremely capable in their duties yet emotionally resent every minute of it as contradicting their personal tastes yet other leaders are emotionally gratified by the people's love and strongly identified with public respect roles.

Measure the impact of

• [10th-from-Chandra] = emotional response to leadership duties

• karma-pati = environment of career, specific tasks of executive position
• 10th navamsha = career-themes
• Ruler of 10th navamsha within radix = higher purpose and Gift of the public work roles

Determination of the purposeful Earth-serving nature of public duties and leadership roles = 10th navamsha.

SHUKRa

Vocation preferences for Shukra-in-10, shukra in 10th-from-Chandra, or Shukra owns-or-occupies 10th navamsha

• Brokerage, bargaining, and Negotiation

• Balanced Design, ornamentation, beauty

• Pleasures and Enjoyments

• Counseling and Advising

• Promises, agreements, trusts, betrothal

• Matching-making and Deals

• Contracts and Alliances

The key to success in all endeavors is simple but it may be difficult for many to put into practice.

• The key is to follow your desires to the best of your ability . Pursue your interests, allowing your tastes and your intelligence to guide you.
• BUT refrain from placing expectations upon the outcome.

The reason this works = the heart, the creative spiritual heart, is the true seat of intelligence (not the fearful, punishment-avoiding brain in the head). Therefore anyone who has the courage to follow their own true heart, including to follow that which you think is fun, which you experience as brightly creative, that which is entertaining (but never numbing) and which brings a smile to your face… .

These experiences are the signal that you are moving in the " right" direction. Unfortunately people halt themselves even when they are moving in the highest direction due to fear (which emits from the reptile brain at the top of the brainstem)

They start doubting their entitlements, slide into a fretful state of worrying about public opinion, begin to grant power to false gods such as mani-money, social status, and feel pinched by concern for the opinion of external judges such as parents, religious authorities, peers, or society.

However.... all this heart-centered truth being said, one who is experiencing a Shani bhukti ought to feel " in the heart" that Shani guides along a path of social conformity, rules and regulations, adherence to the law, and respect for the social order. Innovation and creativity are at a low ebb during Shani bhukti. Structured advancement along a strict promotional path via examinations, tests, proofs, and via seniority or longevity are Typically, the way of Shani.

Allow the heart to resonate with the current bhukti and significant gochara movement. The professional path is an organic development, and its structure will become more clear when the interference of anxious worry is removed.

QUOTATION Sarvartha Chintamani, Chapter 2, shloka-7

" When the planet occupying the Navamsha [lagna] is powerful, gain of wealth will be without much effort.

Should it be weak a little wealth will accrue.

The country where the native will acquire wealth will be signified by the sign representing the 10th house or the Navamsha owned by the lord of the 10th house.

But, when this Sign is occupied or aspected by its lord, the native will earn in his own country .

So it shall be if the Navamsha occupied by the lord of the 10th house in an immovable sign.

When the said sign is owned or aspected by planets other than its lord , the person concerned will earn in the place other than his own country.

The livelihood is also determined from the nature of the planet who rules the Navamsha sign occupied by the lord of the 10th house." END QUOTE

Q: How do you delineate the mission for which an individual is born?

A: The answer...

• depends on what is considered one's individual mission.
• It may be political, religious, social, cultural, or something else.

Generally, the nature of one's mission in this life can be ascertained by a deep consideration of the tenth house .

• If planets are powerful there, then the native will succeed in realizing the mission.

• If afflicted, there will be many hitches."

QUOTATION ~~ B.V. Raman, A Catechism of Astrology [4th edition 1992] part II page 2

" Q: From which Bhava or planet can the place or direction of one's livelihood be ascertained?

A :

Ordinarily the 10th Bhava is the one that denotes all particulars relating to one's livelihood, including the place or direction

the sign that is found on the cusp of that Bhava determines the place or direction one has to look for the line of least resistance.

As regards the planets, the matter is somewhat more complicated.

The lord of the 10th Bhava is in some Navamsha. The lord of that amsha is one of the planets that has major significance .

• the sign in which that lord is placed,

• the lord of the 10th,

• And also the sign in which the Sun is located

have also subsidiary importancer.

All these influences have to be carefully blended and judged in the case of a particular horoscope

and the dominant direction is to be taken note of before prediction as regards place or direction of profession can be made.

• If the Moon is strong , the above has also to be applied from the position of the Moon also."

Career advice from the Apostle Paul: in a letter called 1 Timothy 3 (New International Version)

" Here is a trustworthy saying:

If anyone sets his heart on being an overseer, he desires a noble task.

Now the overseer must be above reproach,

• the husband of but one wife,
• temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable,
• able to teach,
• not given to drunkenness,
• not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome,
• not a lover of money.

He must manage his own family well

and see that his children obey him with proper respect.

• (If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God's church)...

He must also have a good reputation with outsiders,

• so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the devil's trap."

BPL observations

Factors which promote social visibility, career respect, distinguished reputation, and professional recognition

• Professor Surya represent visibility which includes leadership roles and public recognition

• dignified, well-aspected karma-bhava and karmesha-10

• 10th navamsha and the role of the lord of the 10th navamsha within the radix

• Karakamsha, arudha lagna, and lagnesha

• the all-important 10th-from-10th Yuvati bhava (lacking good advisors, the career may be weakened)

karmesha with vikramapathi ruler-of-3

karmesha-10 = favorable relationship to tanu bhava and lagnesha-1

• strong graha residing in 10.

• especially Surya and Mangala = dikbala in 10

stable and supportively aspected ruler of the emotionally dignified , social-ordering, leadership-seeking 10th-from-Chandra grants emotional consistency in responsible roles

• periods of ruler of 10th-from-Chandra may be very auspicious for holding socially dignified roles in professions of schooling, parenting, licensing, caretaking, gardening, sheltering, perpetuation and defense of the root culture

ideally, Vimshottari periods of karmesha-10 should occur in mid-life when the native is emotionally mature but still physically strong

• should the Vimshottari dasha of the karmesha-10 occur at a time in life when society naturally expects to see leadership (after Mangala matures at 28 and before the third Saturn-return age 87) and the mahadasha-pati is strong, aremarkable period of leadership excellence may be predicted

the Karakamsha itself should = kendra or trine also the lord of the karakamsha and the lord of the 10th from the karakamsha

Ruler of the aruda lagna and similarly the lord of karma-pada = Arudha of karma-bhava

Ruler of the 10th navamsha should be healthy and good relationship between karmesha-10 of radix + karmesha-10 of navamsha

by Tenzing Gyatso translated by Tenzin Dorjee, edited by Dexter Roberts (p.20)

" Bodhisattvas give solely out of concern for others, without a self-cherishing attitude.

• That is the proper way of giving.

Courageous Bodhisattvas risk even their lives to help others, and so, when we are in relatively better, more comfortable situations, we must certainly practice giving.

• Even if they are threatened, the courageous ones will not engage in improper actions.

Instead, after examining the situation carefully, when they find that certain actions are correct and justified, on the basis of reason, they engage in them even at the risk of their lives.

That is the way of the decent, civilized and courageous ones , who do not follow misleading paths." [end quote]

Factors which can detract from social visibility, career respect, distinguished reputation, and professional recognition

Lifelong situations

if at birth, there are troubled configurations for the karmesha-10 (social-material) and the emotionally dignified , social-ordering, leadership-seeking 10th-from-Chandra (emotional-spiritual) such as combustion, incoming hostile drishti, residing in enemy's rashi

periods of the karmesha-10 and the emotionally dignified , social-ordering, leadership-seeking 10th-from-Chandra

Hazardous for institutional governance and professional accomplishment =

• 6th-from-karma-sthāna = administrative tasks and daily conversations (3)

• 8th-from-karma-sthāna = personal creativity and children (5)

• 12th-from-karma-sthāna = religious philosophy and world travel (9)

Problematic Vimshottari periods of the 6th-from, 8th-from, and 12th-from karma-bhava:

conflict regarding respectable positions during Vimshottari periods of lord of bhratru-bhava = 6th-from-10th from radical lagna

• also conflict especially with specific agents in the role of servants-employees during periods of any graha residing in bhava-3

• emotional conflict regarding matters of public respect and reputation during periods of lord of 3rd from Chandra-lagna (especially after age 50)

transformative sudden changes in leadership style due to ego-creativity during Vimshottari periods of the lord of putra bhava = 8th-from-10th from radical lagna

• also a notable cycle of self-destruction and rebirth in career, especially involving secrets, during periods of any graha residing in bhava-5

• emotional upheaval - usually leading to a forced self-re-invention - regarding matters of public reputation during periods of lord of 5th from Chandra-lagna (especially after age 50)

dissolution of engagement and loss of attention to matters of public reputation due to philosophical and religious activities during Vimshottari periods of the lord of dharma bhava = 12th-from-10th from radical lagna

• specific agents of the period of pulling away from public duties in order to pursue religious life include guru, priest, father, professor, preacher.

• If there are graha residing in bhava-9, the devotional effects are more pronounced and complex. Periods of graha in 9 have the same effect of draining the vitality of karma-bhava-10, although at the same time they .

emotional quietude resulting from withdrawal to a wider [Guru] perspective which usually leads to greater wisdom about world affairs.

Public positions in government or organizational regulation are not emotionally satisfying during periods of ruler of 9th-from-Chandra-lagna (especially after age 50)

but if the graha are strong in 10, the adult native may choose to focus leadership skills within a similar executive role in a university, spiritual institution, or global charity [Guru].

QUOTATION from Tenzing Gyatso Consciousness at the Crossroads: Conversations with the Dalai Lama on Brain Science and Buddhism. Zara Houshmand, r.B. Livingston, and B. A. Wallace (Eds.)

" I always believe that each individual human being has some kind of responsibility for humanity as a whole.

• Particularly, ialways believe that as scientists, you have a special responsibility. Besides your own profession, you have a basic motivation to serve humanity, to try to produce better, happier human beings.

• Whether we understand consciousness or not, we must produce warm-hearted persons . That is important. I want to express that.

• Whenever I meet scientists, ialways have to say this.

Through my own profession, itry my best to contribute as much as I can.

• This proceeds without my being concerned whether another person agrees with my philosophy or not.

Some people may be very much against my belief, my philosophy, but I feel alright. So long as I see that a human being suffers or has needs, ishall contribute as much as I can to contribute to their benefit.

Scientists and medically qualified people can contribute especially. That's different that's a particular context.

A human being needs to be cared for According to your professional calling. You can contribute that's your shared professional responsibility."

Jyotishavidya career profile

Career factors may be confirmed in navamsha D-9 (higher wisdom) and dashamamsha D-10 (higher karma).

However profession is normally understood as a social-material phenomenon, thus all career indicators whether they are first noticed in a varga or via the function of some amsha must be solidly anchored in the social-material functions of the radix D-1.

When a single graha occurs in several important career lagna (exempli gratia, the graha = simultaneously lagnesha, lord of 10th navamsha and lord of dashamamsha -10 ) then that dominant graha comes to define the visible public career.

• If Shani plays several 10th-from roles, particularly if He rules the 10th navamsha, then one may have a Shani-driven professional experience dominated by regulatory activities, rigidly structured step-wise hierarchies, conformism, fear of punishment, bosses and supervisors, apreponderance rules and an absence of creativity. Often also, demanding, heavy, time-driven, and routinized workload. The social focus is on duty.

• If Shukra dominates the career pattern, particularly if He rules the 10th navamsha, the professional environments feature financially privileged, luxurious, artistic, femininized artifacts and the social focus is on diplomacy, trust, and relationships.

• Guru-dominated careers feature teaching and guidance in all of their multifarious global expressions. The native retains a wide philosophical perspective no matter the specific work tasks.

• And so forth per the karaka labels of the Graha.

Everyone works, but not everyone's work is praised or recognized at the top levels of social importance.

For most nativities, career profile is spread across several radix graha. There are relatively few in the elite. Most careers consist of mixed duty roster and fluctuating visibility, with some periods of obscurity and some periods of relatively high social recognition. However, if the graha = obscured, there may unfold a life of unacknowledged, unappreciated effort. Obscurity in public life may be due to an inner fear of visibility, aneed for individual freedom from institutional rules, or perhaps a lifestyle which requires intentional hiding.

Lord of the navamsha occupied by the radix karmesha-10

Find the radix karmesha-10 , then find that graha in navamsha. According to Phaladeepika, lord of the navamsha occupied by radix karmesha-10 is the single strongest primary significator of public career.

• If that graha is well-connected to the other career indicators (Exempli gratia, karmesha-10 + yuvati-pati-7, ruler of D-10, surya, etc.) the professional recognition quotient = high. Regulatory duties, including duties in the creative arts which serve the larger social purpose of introducing new ideologies and new behaviors, may be elevated to the elite levels of social hierarchy = highly visible.

• If that graha is not strongly linked to career indicators - even while ruling a beneficial radical bhava, or having uttama or svakshetra radical status or having other glories not connected with career - there may be professional obscurity. The person might live a very happy life - but one is not intending according to this script to use the energy of public recognition to further one's spiritual learning process.

House of Government in Budapesht, Hungary

Fame (5) vs Duty (10)

• Admiration (Surya, 5) is not the same as respect (Shani,10). The ultimate expressions of karma-bhava contain a dose of Shani-fear specifically fears of scarcity, punishment and death.

• If sparkling Surya's creativity and independence become influential in matters of bhava-10, the institutional agenda will not be served in the Shani-ideal super-regulated fashion we can expect some conflict in public judgment upon a nativity that shows high social responsibility due to a strong karmesha-10 or Shani Yet, also high individual creativity due to a strong vidya-pati-5 or Surya.

Navamsha occupied by radix karmesha-10

As described by Phaladeepika (table above), this rashi is a useful indicator of career also.

Karaka qualities of its lord will reveal the general method of earning a living. Despite the incredible diversity of the modern global economy, the general areas of livelihood which Phaladeepika describes are still accurate (although they do require elaboration).

However, it will be more instructive to look at the specific disposition of the lord of radix karmesha-10 's navamsha - as that graha behaves in radix - to determine the career skills and environment most closely.

" There is no easy formula for determining right and wrong livelihood, but it is essential to keep the question alive.

To return the sense of dignity and honor to manhood, we have to stop pretending that we can make a living at something that is trivial or destructive and still have sense of legitimate self-worth.

A society in which vocation and job are separated for most people gradually creates an economy that is often devoid of spirit, one that frequently fills our pocketbooks at the cost of emptying our souls."

~~Sam Keen

Kundali characteristics of the lord of 10th navamsha

The general environment in which livelihood is earned.

• 10th-navamsha rashi of Shani directs our expectations toward rote or manual labor conformist or anonymous environments and survival concerns of food, clothing, and shelter.

• Rashi of Shukra = a sweet environment

• Rashi of Surya = someplace quite bright + hot

• Rashi of Kuja = environment militarized, energized pursuit, highly competitive, quest for domination + control

In our modern economy with extended life-spans, people often experience several sequential" incarnations " of their career. The job titles may sound different, but each step in the career ascendance will arise from the same basic skill set.

If the radix position of the 10th navamsha lord = Budha in bhava-6,

• one may have several related careers all engaged with one or another application of literacy skills reading, writing, calculating regarding medicine, debt or Litigation .

If the radix position of the 10th navamsha lord = Kuja in 4,

• All the " careers" will be connected via exploratory skills (active engagement, research , problem-solving, exposing and capturing prey) in home and education .

If the radix position of the 10th navamsha lord = Guru in 3,

spirit of teamwork can generate numerous careers in business administration varying among sales, marketing, public relations, advertising etc. .

karmesha-10 th-navamsha = Surya. Native is king-like in leadership style: regal, dignified, confident, inspiring, materially and ethically entitled. Surya = dharmesha-9 radix, home of Chandra: the ego-membrane is limitless. karmesha-10 navamsha Ravi as placed in bhava-12 would normally signify a low-profile career in foreign lands. However, note the amazing double parivartamsha which transforms an obscured Surya into a financial emperor of the world. Much of

Loss of job, career, profession, civic duty, leadership position?

ruler of bhava-9 = 12th-from-10th = career dissolver

• " 12th-from" angle = dissolution, disengagement, withdrawal, and drain upon matters of the house which immediately succeeds it.

• Thus each of the lagna have a " career dissolver" graha which, when empowered, can cause the erosion of enthusiasm for leadership roles and redirection of the life-force energies into its own bhava

• bhukti of dharmesha-9 as ruler of 12th-from-10th usually encourage the native to withdraw from law-imposing and example-setting duties of public life, in order to devote more resources to the study and practice of philosophy and religion.

• Although the dharma-pati almost always gives excellent results in the development of life wisdom and His work is the most valued at the time of death, in practical life matters the sudden loss of profession dignity can be perplexing.

• However, when career dissolution is triggered by the dharmesha-9 , the native can rest assured the that final results will be beneficial for all.

• Lord of 9th-from-Chandra does often generate an emotional pull toward religious concerns in preference to performance of public duty, but unless the Dharmesha-9 from Chandra is coordinated with the Dharmesha-9 from [material-social] kundali indriya-lagna, this pull results more in a feeling of being stretched too thin between religious and social projects, rather than a full material-social withdrawal from professional tasks.

periods of the withdrawing, retiring ruler-of-12 from lagna can have the same effect. The native is ready to withdraw from public personality display and turn inward for reflection. Some measure of closure in matters of ego-membrane development (bhava-1) may be achieved.

• POTUS-43 Decision Points 1946- George W Bush presidential term = 2001-2008. Mahadasha of ruler-of-12 Budha Began in March of 2006. Still there were remaining nearly two years of his second presidential term.

• Emotionally he was OK to continue in a leadership role (no breakdown) because Budha = karmesha-10 from Chandra.

• However, under the physically and socially draining influence of Budha, he completed the duties of the presidency with lackluster performance, and left office with the some of the lowest public approval ratings of any departing POTUS.

Lord of dharma bhava and ruler of 9th-from-Chandra will cause loss of public station and loss of professional position. Note the status of this graha. Is the graha a pleasure-giver subhagraha or a more emotionally-socially challenging papagraha?

If the lord of dharma is a temporal pleasure-giver subhagraha, the loss of a job or fall from superficial public approval is a liberating experience, which relieves [obligation. The natural regulator of karma-bhava is Shani and public duties are tiring. If dharma bhava itself (from lagna or from Chandra) is well disposed, loss of career position, title, symbolic status, leadership roles etc. May be very beneficial.

One might succumb to Survivalist Shani's fear-based thinking in matters of career, believing the scarcity thinking and bondage-to-duty program of Shani's two svabhava: leadership and earnings. Yet, stepping back into wisdom of dharma, consider whether it may be indeed a blessing to lose these heavy obligations and their demanding time schedules [Shani].

Guru as natural regulator of dharma bhava can be the pratya-antara-dasha Vimshottari lord = the straw that breaks the camel's back. May trigger a loss of position, reputation, social dignity - and the sudden, underappreciated freedom to enjoy life free of executive orders and a lockstep time schedule.

On the other hand, if lord of dharma from either lagna or Chandra (from Chandra is a more emotional experience) should be a fear-causing malefic, then losing one's official position, job, or title could be a terrifying, scarcity-paranoia inducing experience.

In the modern economy, job-loss is a frequent occurrence. For nativities with a positive Dharmesha, each loss results in a gain of wisdom (and, typically, alater gain of higher position). For nativities with a compromised or materialistic dharmesha-9 , loss of social leadership positions can be an frightening experience.

Ruler of dashamamsha -10 as this graha behaves in radix

... forms the third major career significator. It is worth looking for the role of the lord of 10th dashamamsha -10 also, but only as a strengthening and confirming proof for otherwise active career Graha.

• Lord of dashamamsha -10 tells mainly about one's psychic or spiritual disposition within career manifestation. Similar to lord of navamsha exposing how one is operating psychologically within intimate relationships (whether one is consciously aware of one's true behavior or not) - lord of dashamamsha -10 tells what wisdom or psychological agenda we bring into career.

• Similar to the way lord of navamsha reveals how our partner sees us and what they (often subconsciously) expect from us so the lord of dashamamsha -10 tells what hidden parts of ourselves the professional environment evokes and develops.

• Lord of dashamamsha -10 may have some qualities, but those qualities might not be distinctive. If lord of dashamamsha -10 is weak in radix, the native will not be motivated to use his career role as a way of getting crucial spiritual information about himself. Again, this is similar to lord of navamsha being weak: the native does not evoke much information from his marriage the marriage is not spiritually too important in this life.

• By contrast, when lord of navamsha is strong, the native is intensely engaged in his intimate partnerships (for better or worse) because the partnerships are for him a gold mine of psycho-spiritual information about the parts of himself he can only see in the mirror of the partner.

• If lord of dashamamsha -10 is strong in radix, the public service environment becomes a site of great self discovery. One's professional colleagues become important mirrors onto the Self. Through handling significant public responsibilities which affect many people below, one grows spiritually in understanding of the great forces which direct us all, even while wielding considerable power over his inferiors.

Handling earthly power

Regulating the welfare of a community, naation, or planet provides the same type of test as handling the emotional power over one partner in marriage.

However, the power in dashamamsha expresses as one-to-many relationship as distinguished from the one-to-one relationship of a native to their spouse or, ideally, of the native -to-their-ishtadevata.

• When the ruker of any varga is empowered in radix -- whether a powerful pleasure-giver subhagraha or a troublesome powerful challenger papagraha, one has programmed highly significant spiritual information into the web of relationships he expects to encounter in the environment described by that varga.

• Exempli gratia, if the ruler of D-20 is strong, spiritual practice is a site of profound self-revelation to the native . The spiritual path in this case may be smooth such as a wonderful pleasure-giver subhagraha or ragged (as in a violent or harshly challenging papagraha) but the path is crucially important in this lifetime.

• If the lord of D-3 is strong in radix, then teamwork, siblings, group mental process, competition, and self-made treasuries are powerful venues for self-realization.

D-10 lagnesha strong in kundali?

• If dashamamsha-10 lord obtains strength in the radical kundali, one has chosen career, public service, and earthly leadership power as a vehicle for self-knowledge on the road to God-realization.

• The dashamamsha -10 may also be read " internally" that is, the same method as reading the radix, to very finely tune the profile of profession.

A : Namaste,

Thanks for your note and thanks also for your compliments on the website. I am always delighted to hear that the materials are proving useful for students of the samayavidya. I'm not presently teaching Jyotisha but I will continue to improve the website materials as time allow. Naturally, answering your questions would require a reading, and free readings are not available. However, ido encourage you to study the nativities of those who have gone before you - successful physicians and scientists - and see if you can find the indicators of ability both intuitive and financial in their charts.

Pay special attention to the 6th bhava for health service ministries, the 10th radical bhava, the 10th navamsha and the dashamamsha lagna. If Ashvini nakshatra features prominently especially the 10th degree of Mesha, success in physical medicine is assured. Also, for quick divinations that can show you a mirror of your own subconscious expectations -- which are indeed the seeds of all reality -- you might enjoy a spread of Tarot Cards. There are several nice free Tarot websites on the internet. As well, i-Ching and other forms of quick divination can show us what we are really thinking.

Wishing you every success,

Sincerely BPL
