Profession and Artha Trikonas Part 1

Dr. Shanker Adawal

Part 1

In these days of space voyage, man still needs the four `Purusharthas’, or human ends as indicated in our Sastras for his life and enjoyment. They are Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. As the topic is `Determination of Profession’ automatically the `Artha ‘ (meaning wealth) one comes to play.

Astrologically, 1, 5, 9 houses are connected to Dharma, 2, 6, 10 to wealth (Artha), 3, 7, 11 to Kama and 4, 8, 12 to Moksha. We shall confine to 2, 6, 10 houses only for determination of profession. Incidentally, it is pertinent to point out that 2, 6, 10 houses form a Trine themselves. It is of great significance to note this point so that further understanding is easy.

Majority of us work for wages and obtain a status in life. The status in life and their various gradations are termed as Yogas, Raja Yogas, Ava Yogas etc. including Darida Yogas etc.

How these trines play their part in determination of profession, let us analyse. 2^nd house stands for body, Netra (eyes), Vak (speech), Dhanam (wealth) family (kutumba) and so on.

Healthy body, good looking eyes (free from defects), good speech, good family background with moderate wealth are very essential for worldly life. Further to earn our wealth through salary and other means, the above are very essential.

In modern parlance in aptitude test for jobs, good physique, clear eyes, good command of speech all come into play. How beautifully 2^nd is linked with job as the preliminary stage in earning the wealth.

Take the 6^th house now. The 6^th house stands for service (working under somebody with rules and regulations to be complied with) competition, anxiety, inimical activities, tiredness exhaustion, debts, sickness of the body, trouble from enemies, untimely meal and so on.

All those who had experience of service would have definitely felt all those above things in various degrees.

In management terms, competition, working for the desired targets, anxieties, rivalry connected with the above, hypertension, finally sickness, all are there for an individual serving in any organization. 6^th house aptly proves the proverb, “no pains, no gains.”

Let us see the 10^th house. 10^th house stands for success, name and fame, status. The power to command others, government titles, and honours in profession, nature of profession etc.

In materialistic world of today, a man is judged by his status. It is known as “Padavi” in Sanskrit. That is why while writing the horoscope, the Sloka, is always written by learned pundits of astrology.

“Janani Janma soukhyanam,

Vardhani Kula Sampadam,

Padavi Poorva Punyanam,

Likhyathe Janma Pathrika”

It has a significance or importance. The present Janma’s 6^th house corresponds to previous birth’s 10^th house. Automatically the present Janma’s 5^th house corresponds to previous birth’s 10^th house, or Dharmasthana. Dharma and Karma are inter-related. In simplest term, they are known as thought and action. Seed of action is thought. As per the seed only, the harvest or fruit.

Our Sastras stress the need for any Karma or action based on Dharma or right path. With corruption in all walks of life, the statement holds good as a Beacon of life. The great apostle of truth Mahatma Gandhi used to always stress the point, the “means” are more important to achieve an object.

How beautifully the 6^th house is connected to Poorva Punya or 5^th house. Based on the same logic, the present Janma’s 10^th house is the past birth’s 2^nd house or house of wealth, and present Janma’s 2^nd house is previous birth’s 6^th house. How nicely are houses 2, 6, 10 inter-linked: it is a divine order so to say.

Let us proceed further. In astrology, every house has “Shatru Sthana” or detrimental house or inimical house”.

For 2^nd – Shatru Sthana is 7^th                                    

For 2^nd – Shatru Sthana is 11^th

For 10^th – Shatru Sthana is 3^rd.
