Jagannath Hora

The performer’s chart runs on Venus for the art, the Moon for the public and Rahu for the screen, through the third house of expression and the fifth of creativity, with the Arudha lagna for the image the world sees. The signatures, film, television, theatre, music, writing, journalism and digital content by planet, fame against craft, the irregular income of the creative life, timing the break and the dry years, the D10, and a worked chart.

The civil services examination is the hardest test in the country and the most over-read in astrology. The genuine combinations, the look-alikes that pass for an IAS yoga, prelims, mains and interview as three different readings, timing the attempts inside the age window, IAS, IPS, IFS and IRS by planet, the chart of the officer, when the chart says stop, and a worked chart.

The uniformed chart runs on Mars for force, Saturn for discipline and the Sun for rank, through the third house of courage and the sixth of the fight. The signatures, army, navy, air force, police and paramilitary by planet, officer entry against the ranks, the selection boards read as timing, postings and the field-to-desk turn, caution windows read for care, the D10, and a worked chart of an army officer.

The teacher’s chart joins Jupiter’s knowledge and Mercury’s explanation through the fifth house of students and the ninth of higher learning, with Ketu for the researcher and Saturn for the institution. The signatures, the four kinds of teacher, the PhD-or-job consultation, government college against private university against own institute, whether teaching pays, timing, the D10, and a worked chart of a professor.

The engineer’s chart runs on Mars for the machine, Saturn for the structure and Mercury for the circuit, through the third house of skill. The signatures, branch by planet, why so many engineering degrees lead to other careers, core against software, employment against contracting, entrance-exam timing without promises, the D10, and a worked chart of a civil engineer.

The lawyer’s chart joins Jupiter’s law, Mercury’s argument and Saturn’s bench through the sixth house of disputes and the ninth of justice. The signatures, branches of law by planet, the advocate-or-judge question, litigation practice against the firm, the advocate’s voice in the second house, timing, and a worked chart of a litigator who became a judge.

The doctor’s chart has a recognisable shape: the Sun and Mars for the body and the knife, the Moon and Venus for care, Jupiter for the physician’s wisdom, working through the sixth, eighth and twelfth houses. The signatures, specialty by planet, the entrance examination read as timing rather than promise, allied and alternative medicine, government versus practice, and a worked chart of a surgeon.

Salary is a trend in the chart, not a number. The three houses of earned income, the planets of pay, the trend reading from the second and eleventh lords, why the well-paid sometimes save nothing, how an increase is timed through dasha and Jupiter’s transit, what differs by sector, why a salary stalls, and a worked chart of seven flat years and a doubling.

Government or private is a fit question before it is a yoga question. The planets of each sector, the temperament test, the chart that fits both and the chart that fits neither, what each sector pays a given chart, the dasha that opens the first door, switching mid-career, family pressure, and a worked chart of a bank officer who had both offers.

The ascendant fixes the tenth lord, and the tenth lord frames the career. All twelve lagnas: the planet, its second lordship, the natural fields, the placements that help and hinder, the yogakaraka lagnas, and why where the tenth lord sits decides more than which sign rises.
