Part 5

Connections of the Sun with Saturn placed in a sign of Mars; theh Moon in Taurus aspected by the Sun and in Leo aspected by Saturn; and Mars or Mercury in a sign of the latter having Saturnine relations point to a livelihood by agriculture. The combination of the Moon-Venus-Saturn and the 11th Bhava having association, aspect or Varga of Saturn also show agriculture.

Activities of business, industry and trade may be known by the Moon and Venus combination; by Jupiter in a sign of Saturn with Mercurial connections; by the Sun in a sign of Venus or Cancer aspected by the Moon and in a sign of Saturn with relations of Venus; the Moon in Libra aspected by Jupiter, and by Mercury in a sign of Saturn with connections of Veus.

Musicians, dancers and dramatists could be found by the following combinations:-Mercury-Jupiter; Mercury-Venus; Sun-Moon-Mercury; Sun-Mercury-Jupiter; Moon-Jupiter-Venus; Mars-Mercury-Jupiter; Mercury-Venus-Saturn and the like. In these arts also the benefic planets have a greater share as in education and literature.

The importance of Karakathwas in this aspect of the science could well be appreciated by examining the effects of the following combinations of Mars:-

Sun-Mars: Cruel deeds including killing.

Moon-Mars:  Boxing and duels, crafts with clay, leather, etc., and with metals like gold, copper and lead. Also work with sulphur, salpetre, etc. The native may also be skilful in black arts.

Mercury-Mars: Work with gold and iron. Skill in making medicines and trading in them.

Jupiter-Mars: Mechanical arts, learning in the Vedas and religious texts; discourses in them; strong, liking in the use of arms.

Venus-Mars: Astronomy, mathematics and gambling.

Saturn-Mars: Work or dealings in metals; magic; thieving: making or selling poisons, poison-cure, use of weapons.

The planetary configurations indicative of a few professions furnished above are just pointers to the line of argument to be taken in combining the Karakathwas of the planets. A combination of two planets may very often show quite different effects. In such cases, the proportion of the characteristics of each planet entering the combination is to be decided based on their strength.

No other aspect of astrology, perhaps, calls for the profundity, acumen, ingenuity and dexterity of the astrologer more than this subject of the fixation of the exact means of livelihood of a native well selected as a fit topic for discussion in the special issue of the popular magazine. Indeed, this puts to test. The caliber and knowledge of the astrologer.

This year our esteemed Editor has selected a very stiff subject for the “Surya Prakash Memorial Number” of The Astrological Magazine. Next to the question of longevity, it is only the house of avocation that gives the greatest headaches even to the best of aastrologers.

In the matter of astrologically judging and determining, different mundane houses are allotted to the different needs of Kalapurusha or the individual. There is one house for wealth, another for patrimony, another for income, etc., but there is no such house for avocation or livelihood. I am saying this with a certain amount of caution, as my readers, mostly astrological experts, may scoff at me. There is one house, Karma, viz., the 10th (midheaven). Karma is a very broad term. Karma means the sum total of the good and bad deeds at our credit when we are born on this planet.

Karmarjitham purva bhave sadadi yad tasya pamktim samabhivyanakti (Brihat Jataka 1-2)

Meaning that the horoscope is an indicator of our past good and bad deeds at our credit and as to how we are going to work out the interplay thereof.

Thus, while we are relentlessly compelled to work out our destiny in a particular groove, we have to activise in various directions towards ourselves, our people near and dear, our people about us, our society, our country, etc. Livelihood or activation is only one facet of the term “Karma”.

In keeping with the most liberal understanding of the word Karma, we have tour significators, Karakas for the Karma Bhava, viz.:
