Introduction
Planets and Nakshatras affect human
life as well as our profession. Every person has to choose a profession for his
livelihood and it depends on his skills and abilities. Parents send their
children to schools and colleges to develop skills as nature supports learning
in this stage of life. Children learn quickly, so Mercury in astrology represents
skills and childhood status.
Parents are always curious to know
what their children will become when they grow up and what profession they will
take up. Therefore, the choice of profession becomes very important. However,
once a profession is chosen it is not necessary that a person stays in the same
profession for life. Due to the various options available and the rapidly
changing economic scenario, changing professions has now become a common thing.
People often ask whether they will do a job or a business and which profession
will be better for them. Today in the age of technology and due to the changing
political scenario globally, employment and business get badly affected. Jobs
that were available a few years ago are no longer available and many businesses
are severely affected.
Layoffs are common and often we hear
such news. Therefore, people are scared about the future of their career
because when the source of income stops, the mind also stops working and some people
are not able to face the adverse circumstances of life and some of them take
wrong steps. Our life provides many types of good and bad experiences and all
of them together give birth to a very mature and unwavering person. A strong
person is one who does not bow down to adversity, who struggles and overcomes
the storms and stress of life. Advancement in life is not easy and cheap, it
comes through voluntary and persistent effort.
The Sun provides the strength to
fight all obstacles in life. A strong Sun indicates vigour and vitality and
such a person never bows down to circumstances. The Sun is the source of light.
As soon as the Sun comes, darkness disappears as if it never existed. Sun means
moving forward and pushing back the darkness. If a person surrenders to the
darkness of life then his Sun becomes weak. The one who fights with darkness,
his Sun becomes strong and one day light is born within him. That is why a
person should never surrender to darkness. That is why suicide is considered a
sin in every religion. The person who deliberately gave up the search for light
and succumbed to darkness, weakened his Sun. He has given birth to cowardice
within himself. The one who searches for light never succumbs to darkness.
Darkness can never be so powerful that it can bend the light because no matter
how long the night is, morning always comes and this is the eternal truth.
If one door is closed in life, the
other opens. But if a person is knocking on the door due to some external
influence without realizing his own potential, then the chances of such a door
opening are very less. In such a situation, astrology helps in choosing the
right direction for career by recognizing our inner nature. It helps in
identifying the areas where you can focus your energy.
Jupiter is the planet that brings
expansion in our lives. To be lucky in your endeavors, one needs the strength
of Jupiter. The presence of Jupiter indicates that the person gets expansion
easily in matters related to that house. But when a person starts getting
things easily in life, bad habits start taking birth in him. Where the activity
of expansion is involved, it should be controlled, otherwise it creates many evils.
People do not value whatever comes
easily in life. They forget to set limits in their activities of expansion and
when things cross their limits the result of a benefic planet becomes negative.
The ancient sutra (Sthan Hani Karo Jeeva) says that Jupiter harms the place
where it is placed and this is true if we forget to set limits. For example,
excessive consumption of sugar can alter the taste buds. Excessive speed can
cause accidents, so brakes are necessary.
Venus signifies freshness, the
ability to understand subtle things, and the ability to work flawlessly. It is
not possible to reach the top in just one or two attempts. A person climbing to
the top fails many times, but the desire to reach the heights always call him.
Venus being exalted in Pisces indicates this because tireless efforts are
required to transform sexual energy into spiritual energy. Venus symbolizes the
highest level of perfection; hence, the gemstone of Venus is diamond. After
years of pressure and heat, ordinary coal turns into precious diamond.
Saturn is the lord of karma and gives
pressure and heat with the aim that one day the person will become like a
diamond. It creates obstacles and hindrances in life. Saturn forces the person
to work hard and teaches him to be patient in life as it takes millions of
years to turn coal into a diamond. Every pressure given by Saturn is a process
of conversion. Saturn acts as a cleaner and cleans everything that has become
garbage in our lives. But people get attached to their garbage and are not
ready to remove it from their lives.
When garbage accumulates on the road
and the cleaner does not come, then after a few days it becomes impossible to
walk. The working style of Saturn is also similar to that of the garbage
cleaner. When garbage accumulates everywhere, life becomes difficult, diseases
start spreading, and progress stops. Therefore, for development, it is
necessary to remove the garbage first. Development cannot happen without
removing the garbage, whether it is a house or a city or a country.
The same principle applies to every
person's life as well. Without removing the garbage, no one can move forward in
life, and due to our ignorance, pebbles and garbage get collected, so
cleanliness is necessary for development. Saturn is harsh and shows no mercy when
the question of removal of waste comes, without which there is no growth. Therefore,
the ancient sutra (Sthan Vridhi Karo Shani) is right about Saturn that where it
is placed, it increases the results of that place by removing all the dirt of
that place.
The position of Saturn in the
horoscope indicates that there is a lot of scope for progress in that place,
but hard work is required. Saturn never gives any fruit without hard work. The
position of Saturn also indicates that we should be ready to work hard as there
are many hurdles to cross. When one gets success after hard work then happiness
is something else and this is a real success. Therefore;
· Saturn represents
pressure and pain and Venus represents pleasure and happiness.
· Saturn represents
hard work and Venus represents celebration.
· Saturn is stubborn
and Venus is tender but they both are friends.
· Saturn is a cruel
planet. On one hand, it blocks the path and on the other hand, it removes
unnecessary rocks so that water can flow easily.
The nature of water is to flow but it
cannot remove the stone coming in its way. It needs the help of Saturn who is
ruthless in putting and throwing stones. Venus is delicate, sensitive, and represents
fresh water. Venus needs the strong and firm hands of Saturn to achieve its
purpose just like water needs the support of rocks to flow in a direction.
Therefore, it is impossible for Venus to achieve anything without the help of
Saturn. Saturn makes way for Venus which represents ultimate achievement, but a
weak Venus indicates that the native seeks sensual pleasures and often attends
parties without making any effort.
The transit of Saturn plays an
important role in life. Saturn removes every adulteration, every falsehood, and
every garbage then only the truth remains. Saturn clears every unnecessary
thing in life. That is why it is said that Saturn clears away all the dirt and
shows the real truth to the person.
Today, this human body which is liked
by many people, but a day will come when no one will like it. One day it will
turn into waste and people will throw it in the crematorium and burn it like
garbage. When Saturn transits on the ascendant it gives disease, it means that
some part of the body has become waste and one day the whole body will become
waste. Every waste has to be thrown away, but people form attachment to their
garbage and do not want to remove it. They keep collecting it for years but
they do not know that it has become a burden for their development.
Saturn throws away all the garbage
and has to use force if the person is not ready to leave it. So, Saturn is
harsh because it does not allow any kind of garbage to be kept in our lives.
When Sade Sati starts people start getting scared because they are not ready to
throw away their garbage and the conflict starts. They keep collecting it for
years and think that there are valuable things in their collection. But Saturn
does not allow to keep anything that has become waste. So, Saturn removes the
ego in Sade Sati because it is completely useless but people are not ready to
throw it away. Then Saturn uses force and removes the cause of ego, so, people
lose wealth, power, and position in their Sade Sati. The transit of Saturn
clears everything, the waste has gone and now life can move forward (Sthan
Vridhi Karo Shani).
Mars provides energy to achieve the goal
and the Moon represents our mind. Everything in this world is a play of our
mind. When the mind stops, everything stops, so the position of the Moon plays
an important role in making any decision in life.
In astrology, the horoscope is
divided into two axes - day (above the horizon) and night (below the horizon)
hemispheres. The first house to the seventh house is called the day part or upper
half. Strong planets placed above the horizon in the horoscope indicate the
popularity and prosperity of the person. It indicates the external focus like
professional achievement and interpersonal relationships. Planets placed below
the horizon indicate the internal focus of the person like domestic
environment, self, family, creativity, etc. Planetary transit plays a vital
role in determining the favorable time. Planning to change your career (from
job to business and vice versa) depends on your planetary position, dasha, and
transit. Your horoscope is your secret that helps you to discover your talent
and avoid making wrong decisions.
“There is no better boat than a horoscope
to help a man cross over the sea of life.” - Varaha Mihira
