This article was for a special issue on Sun in astrology and was published in the June 2003 issue of "The Astrological Magazine". I am thankful to Mrs Gayatridevi Vasudev, the then editor, for permitting me to share this on social media. I was not aware of any nadi astrology at that time but could see the simple influence of rasi placement, planetary association and bhava placement of Sun to show influence on the profession of a native. This article has a 2nd part, unfortunately which I lost. Readers may check the validity of my observations shared in the article. I hope you will enjoy reading this........
There is an interesting story associated with this article....A person who completed his PG in Geology and searching for jobs read this first part of the article and underlined the points I have mentioned regarding government jobs. Later, when I joined NGRI, hyderabad, for my doctoral studies, he came in touch with me through a common friend. He was also working as a project fellow, a temporary position, in a project at NGRI. He told me that he has the combination in his chart but he did not have a permanent government job and he had already crossed the maximum eligible age. Hence, this observation of mine had not worked in his case. I just smiled and said, may be this has failed in your case. After a couple of years he got an interview for the post of Geophysicist in GSI and got selected in that. He had applied for that job while he was in the eligible age group and had forgotten about that. Now, he is a Gazetted Central Government employee working in Geological Survey of India. We became close friends in course of time...when the magazine issues of this article in my collection were damaged by termites, he scanned and sent me this first part for which I am thankful to him.....
P.S: It is natural that ideas and concepts keep on evolving and changing with the addition of knowledge and experience. Though I am sharing these articles in the same form as they were earlier published, I may not totally agree with what I have written a decade back.
Sun's Role in Judging Profession
K. Guru Rajesh
The Sun is the Atmakaraka and Rajyakaraka in astrology and
occupies an important position in horoscope analysis regarding matters of
health, vitality, longevity, profession and spiritual evolution of the native.
Generally, the 10th house indicates profession.
The right word used in classical texts is 'Karma' which includes any work done
by the person along with the work carried out for one's livelihood. Usually,
profession is judged by considering the 10th house from the Lagna
and Chandra Lagna and the Navamsa occupied by the 10th lord etc.,
besides their lords and Lagna lord. Even though the major inclination of the
native can be related to the Lagna and the 10th lords, by analysing
the situation of the Sun in the horoscope we can get some more clues. As DR.
B.V. RAMAN says: "The most difficult and at the same time the most
important in the analysis of a horoscope is the determination of occupation or
profession. In fact, the number of avocations today is so vast and varied that
it is nearly impossible to ascertain with any degree of accuracy the exact
nature of profession "· Thus, besides the general rules and conditions for
deciding the profession, a detailed study of the position of the Sun in a
horoscope may reveal some better insights into the vocation of the native.
The vocational inclination of a person can be ascertained by
carefully assessing the nature of the sign, the Bhava and the asterism occupied
by the Sun as also planets in association with and aspecting the Sun. The
Navamsa position of the Sun is also important.
Besides these details, the 10th house from the
Surya Lagna (sign occupied by the Sun) should also be considered.
1. Rasi Occupied by the Sun
The lord of the Rasi where the Sun is posited has the maximum
influence on one's occupation. The nature of the Rasis like fiery, earthy, airy
and watery and also whether moveable, fixed and common must also be taken into
account.
Professions coming under the Sun occupying different signs
are:
a) Sun in Martian Signs
Military, police department, fire extinguishing department,
chemicals, agriculture, geology and mining, civil engineering, surgery,
physiotherapy, sports like body building, boxing, wrestling, martial arts etc.
Professions carrying authority like IAS, IPS, IFS etc., come
under the Sun in Aries. The Sun in Scorpio may make the native pursue a career
related to discovery of something unknown or hidden like scientific investigations,
forensic and crime departments etc.
b) Sun in Venusian Signs
Performing arts like music, poetry, dance, drama, cinema
etc., professions related to fashion designing, textiles, beauty parlours,
jewels and ornaments, marriage bureau, flower gardens, scents etc.
c) Sun in Mercurian signs
Intellectual professions like scientific research, accountancy,
mathematics, astrology, astronomy etc., vocations related to trade and commerce
like banking, financing etc.
The Sun in Virgo may show the medical field as it forms the 6th
house in the Zodiac. Similarly, the Sun in Gemini gives occupations connected
with communications and art like television anchoring, radio news reading,
publishing, editing, journalism. It can also show music and writing as it is
the 3rd sign in the Zodiac.
d) Sun in Lunar Sign
Vocations related to liquids and water like navy, marine,
geology, oceanography, hydrology, dairy farming etc., are shown. As it is the 4th
in the natural Zodiac it also includes vocations related to hotels, hospitals,
liquor shops, nursing, swimming pools etc. Psychology also comes under this
group.
e) Sun in Solar Sign
The Sun in his own house which happens to be a fiery and
royal sign may make the native an executive authority like an IAS, IPS, police
or military official etc. Being a sign related to jungles, wild animals and
hills, it can also include callings related to animal keeping, zoos, forestry
department etc.
f) Sun in Jupiterian Signs
Vocations related to Jupiter are law, teaching, astrology,
spiritual vocations etc. The Sun in Sagittarius makes the native inclined
towards authoritative posts, politics etc. as it is a fiery sign. The Sun in
Pisces may make the native incline towards vocations related to water like
naval engineering, ship building, hydrology, oceanography etc.
g) Sun in Saturnine Signs
Philosophy, spiritual avocations, labour, callings related to
the downtrodden, social service, law, judicial callings etc., are the most
likely.
2. Bhava Occupied by the Sun
The Bhava where the Sun is posited also has a general
influence on the vocation. It is stated that the presence of the Sun in the 3rd,
6th, 10th and 11th Bhavas is beneficial. I
would like to emphasize the effect of the presence of the Sun in the 10th
house. In the 10th house, he attains Digbala. And the Ascendant
itself gets the benefit of Abhijin Muhurta. Here, the Sun becomes powerful enough
to confer Rajayoga on the native irrespective of the Ascendant. But, he will give
the best results if in the 10th for Aries, Taurus, Cancer, Leo, Scorpio,
Sagittarius and Aquarius Ascendants.
In my humble experience, it is observed that the influence of
the Sun on Ascendant or the 10th house, either by occupation or by
aspect, results in the native having an occupation under the government or
related to the government.
3. Asterism Occupied by the Sun
The Rasi effects are altered according to the lord of the
asterism occupied by the Sun.
4. Planets in Association with the Sun
Planets influence the Sun either by association or by aspect
also.
1. The Sun along with Mercury and Venus in the 2nd
may make the native a great poet, eloquent speaker and also related to
politics. In other Bhavas, he may become a poet, author or musician.
2. The Sun, Mercury and Jupiter, especially in the 10th,
make the native a great scholar in many branches of knowledge and honoured even
by kings and rulers.
3. The combined influence of Mercury and Saturn on the Sun
may make the native work related to mathematics, astrology, sculpture,
painting, printing, publishing, proof reading etc.
4. Jupiter and Saturn with the Sun along with Rahu or Ketu
may make the native spiritually evolved and according to other Yogas present,
he may realise the ultimate goal of life or Moksha.
5. The combined influence of Saturn and Mars on the Sun may
make the native an engineer, military officer or doctor etc. according to the
sign involved.
6. The combined influence of Saturn and Jupiter along with
Mars on the Sun shows judicial professions. It may also make the native a
patriot.
7. The influence of Mars and Jupiter on the Sun in
appropriate signs may give one an authoritative post. If powerful Raja Yogas
are present, he may even become a ruler.
8. The influence of malefics like Saturn, Mars, Rahu and Ketu
on the Sun results in professions related to the medical field.
9. The influence of the Moon and Venus on the Sun may result
in professions like music, dance, poetry, drama etc. Professions related to
liquids also can be indicated according to the sign involved.
10. The combined influence of Saturn and Venus on the Sun may
give vocations related to cinema industry, photography, textile industry etc.
Most of the horoscopes illustrated here are from How to Judge
a Horoscope – II by DR.B. V. RAMAN and Gayatri Devi Vasudev, and Notable
Horoscopes by DR. B. V. RAMAN.
Philosophers and Saints
The Sun in Sagittarius owned by Jupiter is conjoined by Rahu
and aspected by the Moon, Ketu and Saturn in Chart 1. The influence of
Manahkaraka, Mokshakaraka, Vairagyakaraka and Gnanakaraka on the Atmakaraka.
Sun reveals the highly spiritual life of the Maharshi.
Chart 1: Ramana Maharshi : Born 29/30-12-1879 at 1-00 a.m.
(LMT) at 9 N 50, 78 E 15.
The Sun in Chart 2 is in the philosophical sign Aquarius
whose lord is Vairagyakaraka Saturn. The Sun is with Rahu and aspected by the
Manahkaraka Moon and Mokshakaraka Ketu. The Sun occupies the constellation of
Jupiter. These factors are enough to understand the spirituality of Sri
Gouranga Chaitanya.
Chart 2: Sri Chaitanya : Born 18-2-1486 at 8-46 p.m. at 23 N
23, 88 E 25.
It is observed in experience that people who are born at the
time of the lunar eclipse when the Sun is influenced by Jupiter and Saturn
become highly evolved souls though they may suffer early parental loss.
Doctors
The native of Chart 3 was an eminent medical doctor with an
international reputation. Note the conjunction of the Sun with Mars and Rahu in
the sign Cancer which denotes a medical profession.
Chart 3: Male: Born 6-8-1906 at 12-38 p.m. (LMT) at 17 N 46,
83 E 17.
Notice the position of the Sun in the 10th exalted
and associated with the 10th lord Mars in Chart 4. They are in turn
aspected by exalted Saturn. The Sun is in the constellation of Ketu and in
Navamsa, he is with Rahu. Further, the general influence of the Ascendant
Cancer occupied by Ketu made him a chief medical officer whose performance was
outstanding. The position of the Sun and the 10th lord bestowed an
authoritative post on the native.
Chart 4 : Male: Born 10-04-1953 at 11-32 a.m. at Delhi.
Engineers
The Sun, Rahu, Mercury conjunction in the fiery sign Aries
aspected by Saturn and Jupiter made the native of Chart 5 a civil engineer
having mechanical skills. Here the influence of Mercury is greater on the Sun
than of Rahu due to his proximity to the Sun and because he is the Navamsa
dispositor of the Sun. This made the native an engineer instead of a doctor.
Chart 5 : Male: Born 29-04-1948 at 9-48 p.m. (1ST) at 12 N
52, 74 E 53.
The Sun is with Mars in a Mercurian sign aspected by Saturn
in Chart 6. The native is a civil engineer. The influence of the Sun and Mars
on the 10th gave him a career in engineering with contracts for
civil construction from the Government.
Chart 6 : Male: Born 8/9-7-1973 at 0-03 a.m. (LMT) at 22 N
34, 88 E 24.
Musicians
The Sun is with Venus and Mercury in a Mercurian sign Gemini
(3rd house of the natural Zodiac) in Chart 7. They are aspected by
the 2nd lord Moon. In Navamsa also, the Sun is associated with
Venus. As previously stated, the combined influence of Venus, Mercury and the
Moon on the Sun in the appropriate sign Gemini made the native's career
connected with music. The Sun in Jupiter's constellation made her a traditional
classical music singer of great popularity and charm.
Chart 7: Female: Born 2/3-7-1928 at 5-30 a.m. (1ST) at 13 N
05, 80 E 15.
The Sun in Chart 8 is in a Venusian sign in the constellation
of Rahu who in turn is in Sagittarius along with Jupiter. No other planet
aspects the Sun. In Navamsa, the Sun is in Pisces along with the Moon aspected
by Jupiter, Mars and Saturn. Thus the influence of Venus and Moon on the Sun
made the native a classical vocalist and the powerful influence of Jupiter on
the Sun made him a teacher of music. The malefic influence of Mars and Saturn
has their own share in hindering his career progress as he met with a severe
accident.
Chart 8 : Male: Born 2-11-1972 at 8-00 p.m. (LMT) at 16 N 15,
81 E 12.
Judicial Professions
The Sun occupies a Mercurian sign along with Venus, the Lagna
lord, aspected by Saturn and Jupiter in Chart 9. He also occupies a Jupiterian
Navamsa aspected by a powerful Mercury. The dominating influence of Jupiter,
Mercury and Saturn on the Sun made the native a great educationist,
mathematician and jurist. The native had outstanding mental capacities with a
distinct bent for mathematics.
Chart 9: Ashutosh Mukherjee : Born 29-6-1864 at about 3-55
a.m. (LMT) at 22 N 35, 88 E.
In Chart 10, the Sun is in the Lagna, a fiery Jupiterian sign
Sagittarius powerfully aspected by Saturn who is exalted and Vargottama. Saturn
is in Libra, a balanced sign which bestows a balanced judicial outlook. The Sun
occupies the constellation of Ketu who should give the effects of Mercury which
made his judgements intelligent. This chart belongs to a High Court judge.
Chart 10: Male: Born 17-12-1893 at 8-02 a.m.(LMT) at 13 N, 77
E 35.
