Career Astrology - Which Career Path Should You Choose?

Judging career aptitudes is one of the most difficult areas of astrology. 

Occasionally, a chart will offer a clear picture that makes it easy to see vocational direction. More often, however, it’s a mixed bag that defies simple categorization. Nonetheless, by following some basic rules of Vedic astrology (along with some Western ideas), we can catch a glimpse into the person’s probable areas of worldly engagement. And by using some of Jyotish’s unique timing techniques, we can predict when the most favourable periods for career advancement will be.

Influences of key houses and planets

In Vedic astrology, one assesses career by blending the influences of key houses and planets. 

The most important house is the first house or lagna. If we had only one house to analyze before making a judgment, this would be it. 

The first house represents the person as a whole and therefore planets or aspects here can shape a person’s outlook that reflects the planets’ significations.

 The first house ruler or lagnesh is also important.

For example:  A person with Pisces rising that has lagnesh Jupiter closely conjoined by Venus will probably need to express that Venusian side in some fundamental way in their lives. But that only narrows down our choices somewhat since Venus encompasses a fairly wide range of vocational options. It may be art, entertainment, beauty and cosmetics, or prostitution, to name a few. We can narrow down these choices even more by looking at the rest of the key factors in the chart!
