Career question (Seeking UK Astrologer)

[raghu]

Good Evening

Just wondered if anyone could recommend a good astrologer in the United Kingdom, Just have some questions to ask regarding my Career and may be learn a little with the discussion. I'm based near Birmingham, England, I often go to the Shri Balaji temple near Tividale, so could meet any astrologer here if you're on a visit. (there are some great devotees that travel here all from over the UK, but cant ask all of them," Sir do you study Astrology "

I am willing to travel if any members can recommend an astrologer that they've had experience with or know of.

Also If anyone could help me here on this forum it would be a great help, but noticed not all posts get replied too. Anyway praying to Lord Balaji that I may have the good fortune to speak with someone and hopefully find some peace in the area of my Career.

Anyway Thanks for all your help and Kind Regards -

I doubt whether any of the folks here know about a UK based astrologer.
You can look up website of British Association of Vedic Astrologers [ BAVA] and pick one.
You can post your query here and get a response. Yes, quite a few dont get responded to, but many do too.

Hi Guys came across the video on youtube - KRS channel interviewing Das Gorvani -

sorry wish i could place the link but will not let me
so put this in to youtube search box
"Interview of Legendary Vedic Astrologer Das Gorvani Part 3 of 3"

He mentions that ups and downs in Career is Judged by the 10th house
7th house you can judge what you will be doing - determines your trade.
Also states what determines your life is your lagna and moon.

I will need to watch the video about 10 times before I can grasp all of it -

What do you guys think ??

So if im a leo ascendant -
7th house is Aquarius with mars placed there but the lord of Aquarius (Sani) is placed in 11th house of Gemini
How could you describe my trade or what I will be doing

Dear raghu,

I am a learner of astrology and not an expert. I hope you don't mind if I give your chart a try?

In your chart, lagna lord is Sun. Sun is exalted in Aries in 9th house and in own house (Leo) in Navamsa (D9 - divisional chart). This implies you will have help from your father or from government (since that is representative of "king" these days).

10th lord from lagna, Venus is in own house and in Navamsa with Sun. So far so good.
10th lord from Moon, Sun is exalted and own house Navamsa. Also good.
10th lord from Sun, Saturn in 3rd house from Sun, rules 6th from lagna, and debilitated in Navamsa. I think this is the source of your trouble.

6th house effects are to "serve" the needy (and so does Saturn). Which may have helped your income very well, but your Moon is debilitated, with no.1 enemy Rahu in your 4th house. 4th rules peace of mind, home, childhood, mother, and all such things. So does Moon.
Having that afflicted moon in 4th house and you dealing with homeless people on daily basis, you must be feeling really bad as you described.

Work environment is specifically shown by 10th house in Navamsa, there you have Mars+Ketu in Pisces. They are a lot of angry, helpless, substance abuse, issues around that. In a different place you might be prone to 'accidents' or 'headless' activities.

I think praying to Lord Balaji is a good way since Rahu effects are said to be reduced by Him. It is also a very good move to start Hanuman Chalisa. I think that will improve mental strength and improve positive Mars significations, from personal experience.

Given that your D10 (career division) is also ruled by Venus and Venus is with own house Sun in D10 chart, I think you should find something dealing with "Venus" aspects but still within Government job.

Perhaps fine arts, architecture, business, dealing with women. Sometimes, it is easier to see what you are naturally attracted to and confine picking in that direction rather than going by general significations.

But, based on my knowledge, I highly recommend that you stick to government service. Although work environment issues can never be fully abated (without remedies or some other "upaya" which I don't know enough to provide correct advice on), at least changing from Moon-related activities might provide some peace of mind.

If I am seeing this correctly, things might have been particularly felt bad since New year. Please provide feedback on this timing.

I don't know anything about remedies, as I said before. But given your Ketu situation, I suggest perhaps praying to Lord Ganesha too. Ketu features in all important work related houses+grahas in Rasi chart and D9, D10 charts. Lord Ganesha fixes the problems due to Ketu.

Best regards,
Violet

Dear Violet

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond in helping me understand my chart better. It all helps in trying to understand Jyotish and about my life, thanks for your kindness.

I will take your advice in trying to find a Career with Venus + Sun Aspects within Government. I cant think of anything at the moment that matches this, but you may have led me onto an area where I can start to focus on

I did feel some pressure around the new year - with lack of management support and my workload and just not getting time to do anything. Ketu has just moved out of my 10th house and now into my 9th but when Ketu was in Taurus their was a risk of losing our jobs due to Government cuts in early 2012. Colleagues of mine lost jobs, I was lucky that I secured a better job with higher salary but again fewer staff means more work and people to deal with. But I thank god I got a job. But in he next few years Government cuts are taking place and the work loads for homeless people is going to spiral out of control and this is what I'm dreading.

I would like to ask will Jupiter have any affect in my career being in the 10th house at the present moment. I have been looking at University Jobs wanting to deal with academic professional students believing this will be less stressful and more fulfilling, but is this more of a Jupiter/Mercury area rather than Sun/Venus that my chart is showing.

Thank you for making me aware about Ketu in my chart, I will note what you have said and try Lord Ganesh remedies, I will try to find a prayer or kavacham that I can read everyday. At my temple(Balaji temple) they have a Ganesh homam every month on Sankada hara Chathurthi, so I may start attending each month again.

I did read somewhere on the discussion board some time ago that Lord Garuda may be able to help with planets like Rahu/Ketu. I also have an attraction to Sudarshana Chakra of Vishnu, Also was thinking of trying the Shree Dasavatara Stotra by Jayadeva Gosvâmî.

Anyway thanks for taking the time and trouble to go through my chart and hope I can chat to you in the future. Wished they taught the subject at schools
Kind Regards

Dear Raghu,

I can see the attraction to Mercury. Me is Atmakaraka (AK) and perhaps that is what is leading to your attraction to Lord Vishnu. It is good to pray to form connected to your AK.

Me with Sun in 9th house is leading you think about University-students since you are running Me antaradasa (AD). However, note that that Me is with Jupiter in Navamsa. And Jupiter is in parivartana (house exchange) with Mars + Ketu. Also, in D10, Me is with Saturn in Dhanu. Again, Dhanu will give attraction towards universities. But over all , Jupiter is in mixed conditions in D1 (8th lord in 8th house, also lord of 5th), D9 in 6th house, D10 - 6th lord (service) in 7th house (not conducive to service).

So, I am not sure about long term results in Mercury direction of dealing with students in university environment. Venus OTOH is also your amatyakaraka, which should also promote your work life. But I am not confident enough to advise one way or other on this, since Venus is also asura guru, and can promote educational environment, sometimes.

You had nodal return transit over your dasa lord Venus over past 18 months and now Ketu is in 9th house going to transit lagna lord Sun and AD lord +AK Me. I think this will lead to more spirituality but apathy in career will be relieved. Shilpa has a thread in "Transits" section that mentions the effect of Ketu in 9th house Aries leading to more spiritual progress.

But transit effects are temporary and influence is felt strongly only when tied to current dasa/AD lords. So, I don't know if long term career planning can be done by counting on 10th house Jupiter in current transit. Your mental worries should calm down a little when Moon PD is done in march.

In my view, if your heart desires, pray to whoever you feel like. Of course, there is cautionary note on going towards powerful and tamasic devatas without guru. But praying to anyone in a temple (or any other place of worship) will always be good, IMHO.

All the best with your efforts,
hope I have been of some help,
Best regards,
Violet
