Education is generally ascertained from the 4th house, its lord and the Vidyakaraka or lord of education, viz., Jupiter. The 4th house indicates intelligence. Malefics in the 4th signify broken education.

Jupiter and Mercury well situated give good knowledge of men and matters. Jupiter in the 4th or the 10th gives high legal education. If the lord of the 2nd is well disposed, the person becomes a good speaker and lecturer. Mercury in an angle or Venus in the 2nd gives good knowledge in Astrology.

Mars in the 2nd and Mercury in an angle make one a good mathematician or give him skill in engineering. The Sun or Mars as lord of the 2nd in conjunction with Venus or Jupiter gives proficiency in logic and mental sciences.

Jupiter and Venus in angles aspected by Mercury indicate good insight into philosophical subjects. Jupiter and Venus in angles will make one a versatile genius. The lord of the 4th and Jupiter should be free from the influence of the lords of 3, 6 and 11 to indicate a sound educational career.

Look to the 5th, the 2nd, the 9th and the 11th houses for financial prospects. If a benefic be in the 2nd, particularly Jupiter, and the lord of the 2nd is in a trine or quadrant or in conjunction with beneficial lords or is in the 11th, there will be considerable wealth.

Any planet in the 2nd and 11th house badly aspected and the 2nd lord in cojunction with the lords of 3, 6 and 11, or otherwise afflicted, will produce difficulty in getting money and there will be stress and even poverty.

Saturn in the 2nd is indicative of reversal of fortune. Such persons, no doubt, earn a lot of money but they will lose everything.

The lord of the 2nd in an angle from the Ascendant lord, or the 2nd lord being a benefic and exalted, indicates signs of good fortune and success in life.

If Jupiter be the lord of the 2nd, occupies the 2nd or is in conjunction with Mars, then considerable fortune is indicated.

Mercury in the 5th and the Moon and Mars in the 11th give rise to immense wealth.

The lord of the Ascendant in the 2nd, lord of the 2nd in the 11th, and the lord of the 11th in the Ascendant give rise to immense wealth which will be self-earned.

The source of earning should be gleaned from the situation of the 2nd lord. If, for instance, the 2nd lord is in the 9th inheritance is shown. Legacies are shown by good planets, gain by marriages is shown by benefic planets, particularly Venus in the 7th house.

The financial aspects of each horoscope are capable of being increased by giving due attention to the sources of gain, as shown by the conjunctions and aspects of planets in the various houses. Thus it happens that people rise in position and affluence through association with those whose horoscopes are in harmony with theirs.

Rahu, Ketu or Saturn in the 2nd shows complications and an involved state of finance, and frequently it shows loss by fraud and imposition, many ups and downs of fortune and unexpected rises and falls.

Means of Livelihood

Astrology is the science which enables a man to choose the line of least resistance and which prevents a youth of intellectual tendencies from wasting the best years of his life in drudgery at the desk or bench.

Generally the profession that one pursues is derived from a consideration of the 10th house (either from the Ascendant or from the Moon whichever is powerful and its lord, planets in the 10th house, the dominant planet in the horoscope and the situation of the 10th lord in Navamsa.

  • Aries, Leo and Sagittarius are fiery signs;
  • Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn are earthy signs;
  • Gemini, Libra and Aquarius are airy signs; and
  • Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces are watery signs.

When any of the fiery signs happen to be on the 10th house then a profession involving dealings with factories, fires, army, iron, inetallurgy, printing, etc., will be followed.

Waterly signs in the 10th house produce sailors, navigators, admirals, inn-keepers, wine and fish mongers. Earthy signs give rise to landed properties, agriculture, cloth shop, trade, gardening, etc.

Airy signs indicate orators, journalists, astrologers, and avocations connected with technical knowledge.

The indications of signs get modified by the indications of planets aspecting or posited in them.

  • The Sun denotes kings, members of the political department, ministers, magistrates, lawyers and civil servants. The Sun favourably situated in relation to the 10th house bestows professions of the above nature.
  • The Moon rules over nurses, midwives, jewellers, dealers in pearls and precious metals, and also governmental activities.
  • Mars produces soldiers, warriors, carpenters, mechanics, surveyors, chemists, lawyers, bankers, commanders, insurance agents and butchers.
  • Mercury gives rise to preceptors or school- masters, mathematicians, authors, printers, secretaries, booksellers, accountants and insurance agents.
  • Jupiter makes one a priest, a lawyer, a councillor, a judge, scholar and a public man.
  • Venus produces, artists, musicians, actors, perfumers, jewellers, wine sellers and solicitors with a keen intellect.
  • Saturn governs different kinds of professions involving responsibility and subordination, mill hands, compositors, hawkers, factory coolies and scavengers.

If there are no planets in the 10th house, then find out the lord of the Navamsa occupied by the lord of the 10th.

  • If such a lord be the Sun, the native will be a trader dealing with drugs, chemicals and gold.
  • If the Moon is the lord, he will be an agriculturist, deals in pearls, etc., and serving the feminine sex.
  • If Mars be the lord, he will be an officer, mechanic, dealer in dangerous weapons, etc.
  • If Mercury is the lord, he will be a writer, author, mathematician and sculptor.
  • If Jupiter, a preceptor, priest, lawyer or a solicitor.
  • If Venus, dealer in cattle, dressmaker, dancer, artist, etc.
  • If Saturn, a menial and subordinate officer.

If two or three planets join, appropriate blending of the influences must be made and then the nature of the calling or profession determined.

Starting of one’s professional career, periods of prosperity, etc., should be determined during the periods and sub-periods of planets which may have anything to do with the 10th house, its lord and planets posited in the 10th house.

Example 2: The 10th house is Aquarius and it is an airy sign. Three planets are placed there. The native was a great historian, astrologer, once a lawyer and was always held to be a preceptor. He dealt with bookselling, printing and other similar trades (on account of Saturn being the lord of the 10th).

Dasas of Jupiter and Saturn advanced the name and reputation of the native throughout the world and enabled him to lead a most enviable life.
