A wretched career- the story continues

[rajath25]

Respected astrologers and dear friends,

Here I am back again to request your help; and low and behold I am in a tough situation

I have been given 2 weeks notice at my work place; Jan 31st is my last day. I was working as a contractor for the last 8+ months or so and my contract is ending on Jan 31st....while I was aware that budget discussions were going on, I did not expect my position to be cut. I was assigned so many tasks in the last 10 days that the news came as a shock.

Anyway....what a life to live...I have lost contact with all my relatives including my parents (as to why well that's another story) and the only thing that gave me some solace was a good job and the appreciation that I kept getting from my superiors on a regular basis. Every time I feel like I am settling down at one place and feel like I can get ahead, I have a break in my career.oh GOD for what reason are you punishing me like this....restarting my life every 8-9 months...honestly sick of this lifestyle...packing bags every 8-9 months...it is taking a mental toll on me...for I have been doing this for the last 8-9 years now...I am not getting any younger either...

Friends....I want to come to a conclusion regarding my career/life...and that is where I request your astrological input/advice.

1. Should I stop working completely...become a sanyasi....and pursue spiritual goals. Does my chart indicate me pusuing spiritual goals...becoming a renunciate completely giving up all material desires...

2. Should I accept that my career will always be a stop and start career and that the upcoming break is a temporary one? If so when should I look forward to my next job?

3. As atleast some of you know I have been in US for the last 10+ years; should I go back to India for good? Will my career be any better their?

3. Lastly....dont mean to be fatalistic...should I "finish" myself...for I have no one to live for..nothing to look forward to in life...I mean...even GOD would justify my situation...Frankly it's not a bad idea...when u consider that I have no one to live for or nothing to look forward to...correct?..hope at least some people agree with me.

Friends...I really mean it...I need to come to a conclusion for I have been drifting along for far too long....please provide your astrological input/advice.

My birth details...

May 25th 1982, Gangavathi(also spelt as Gangawati), Karnataka, India (15°26′N 76°32′E),India- 2.35 AM

See, simple fact here......Jupiter the lagna lord and career lord is in 8th house. So , your interest or the karma is related to the significations of 8th house......


Research oriented job or occult studies or spiritual related field.....

[revribhav]

It is afflicted 4th house (you feel intense lack of happiness).
4th mars from Moon reflects emptiness, denial of sweet things in life.

4th lord mercury (both from moon and ascendent)makes you feel alone.
The futily and frustration you feel is a temporary phase.

Dear Rajat ,
No body is lucky whole the life and ups and downs are destined to occur at different times depending on the planets , whose major or sub period is running at paricular time is functional benefic or malefic for the chart under consideration ,
In your case , on the basis of given birth particulars , its major period of Jupiter whichis lord of Your Kundali as well as that of house of profession , It is a bit oddly placed, giving a feeling of dissatisfaction about the remunerations or the reaction of the seniors r even feeling as if talent going unrecognized.. It is subpriod ofMoon ,which though should have been a blessing ,but falling in nodal axis thus adversely effecting your think-tank , which negates the reaction of Seniors . If I am not wrong the joint influence of Saturn and Rahu on Moon ,i.e the mind , might have induced to some sort of over acting on yur part as well .
Any way things are not that bad .Moon is with Rahu . the developments , good or bad both sides, are destined to occur suddenly or unexpectedly in this period,.
But Rahu here should not damage or rather should give a better alternative . Be sure next subperiodf Mars should bring in positive change . Sat in 7th house is indication of late launching of career . Venus in sign of exaltation in lagan is beacon of hope.
Have faith and go ahead with searching an alternative . Wishing all the best

I use tropical ayanamsa + lahiri ayanamsa for nakshatras.

You have a strong sankha yoga - 5th & 6th lords in kendra from one another and 1L and 10L in cardinal signs - and what is unique about this is the fact that this yoga can be seen from Lagna/Moon/Sun and in Dasamsa. This clearly indicates very good potential for being self employed. Also the fact that your 11th house is strong from Lagna/Moon/Sun will help if you are inclined to undertake business endevours. You have an excellent 3rd house(ambition) with the 4L moon and 5L sun participating in a raja yoga with mercury in its own house. All these are good pointers for doing something on your own.

I think this will take shape sometime in early 2015(1 Qtr) when you start Ju/Ra in Jan 2015. You will do really well in your business endeavour in Saturn mahadasa which will begin in Jun 2017.

[rajath25]

Thanks a ton to Srikanth Sir, revribhav Sir, bali Sir, Karthik Sir, Dahiya Sir and Sree.Sree Sir;?

If such reversals can happen during Ju-MO period, which are in 5-9 position and also being functional benefics, I really dread JU-MA period; and SA Mahadasha, I do not want to even think abt it. Astrologically what caused this reversal ?Frankly everything was going so smoothly and I got this notice.

Also I kindly request all of you to please let me know as to when I may be able to get the next project. Will I have to relocate to a different city? Infact, some suggested that if I go back to India, I may even get a promotion as a PM. Should I take that offer? Where do you see me flourishing in my career in the long run?


@bali Sir,

As such I do not have much inclination for business and your predictions are very different to what I have heard so far. Hope your words come true; In which field will I be doing business?

For the time being though can you please tell me when I may be able to get the next project. Will I have to relocate to a different city?Infact, some suggested that if I go back to India, I may even get a promotion as a PM. Should I take that offer? Where do you see me flourishing in my career in the long run?

[bali1938]

The strong sankha yoga and the presence of Sa/Ma in 7H actually makes it difficult for you to be in service. Also, Ketu in 10H means wanting to do something meaningful with your career i.e you are not satisified with a superficial career and always are on the lookout for something better. So the better option in the long run would be to doing something on your own. By nature you are a fiercely independent person and being self employed will actually be a blessing in disguise, even if you face initial struggles with setting up something new.

I am not very sure about relocating to India because there are good combinations for having your residence abroad, but I get the feeling that 2015 is a very crucial year which will decide what your next course of action will be.

For now, you can concentrate on finding your next project.

[rajath25]

Thanks again bali Sir;

I completely agree with your statement that I am "fiercely independent person" and "always on the lookout for something better";

Regarding business, what kind of business will suit me? and yes for the time being I shall "concentrate on finding my next project."

On a slightly different note when would I be able to buy a home? I am obsessed with buying a home from a very young age.

Regards
Rajath

[bali1938]

I really am not able to pinpoint what area of business you should consider pursuing as these days we find so many options. From an astrological perspective I can give you a general direction - pursue something that is related to Saturn. The reason I say Saturn is because, in your chart, it is the 10th & 11th lord is in Libra and in good dignity in the Varga vimsopaka, has great shadbala strength, is posited in the 7th house(commerce/trade). Saturn represents careful planning, critical logic, cold calculation and in the 7th house gives the tools that a businessman needs. Saturn is influenced by the 2nd lord(wealth) and 7th lord Venus. Venus is in 1H and is also the lord of the navamsa lagna so it plays an important role with Saturn also being in a Venus sign. So maybe a Saturn+Venus combination would be the way to go.

Regarding purchase of a new home, Jupiter + Rahu, I feel, is a good bet. 2015 seems a good bet as is 2016.
Thanks.

Karthik,

Just curious to know what made you ask if "time of birth is presented as per hospital records ". Please predict the possible start of my next contract job. Also kindly explain from an astrological stand point what caused this sudden reversal.

Regards
Rajath

[karthik1984]

Rajath, The chart has obstacles for career. Ketu in 10th house , aspected by enemy moon from 4th house. 10th house lord Jupiter in 8th house is another disadvantage . Periods of moon will give obstacles in career as moon directly aspects ketu and ketu is in 10th house. Periods of mars will give boost to career as mars aspects its friend ketu from 7th house.


In my earnest opinion , you have to do remedies for ketu as long as possible so that there will be free movement in career.

The planet in a particular house has to be strong if not it gives massive obstacles as you are facing.

As long as you keep ketu happy , you are bound to have less problems in career.

1. Worship Lord Ganesh everyday, he is lord of Ketu Planet.
2. Visit Ganesh Temple on every Thursday and offer prayers.
3. Recite any Ketu Mantra daily

Dear rajath25,

I'm extremely sorry for late feedback..

I'm sharing my views on this, Don't treat Saturn dasha will be bad in all terms. Placement of Shani in 7H with Mars would be bad for Marriage that's true coz its in 3-7-11 trikona(damaging relationships), But not for career coz 7H is bhavatbhavam for career shani here give success in profession. No need to worry for Saturn As real karaka for karma will provide plenty of options for work when dasha comes(Note:- Shani is Amatyakaraka in chart).

[rajath25]

Thanks shoemaker;

I have 2 specific questions-

1. May I please know when I will be able to get into my next project? My current project will end on Jan 31st. Do I have to relocate to another city for the next project?

2. Astrologically, what caused the current reversal? Everything was going so smoothly...frankly I was not expecting it. I thought atleast in JU-MO period such sudden reversals would not happen. Now even that belief is shattered.

I dread to think of SA mahadasha...

Dear Rajath 25

2. Astrologically, what caused the current reversal? Everything was going so smoothly...frankly I was not expecting it. I thought atleast in JU-MO period such sudden reversals would not happen. Now even that belief is shattered.

I can see it annoying with all the ups and downs and changes in the job. Overall , it is because Jupiter in the 8th. House and Ketu in 10th. House.
You are currently running Jupiter Moon, and the Moon is in a Mars Nk. Saturn is in a Moon NK. And Mars and Saturn conjunct in 4 th. house from the Moon and the 7 th. from Asc

The reason could be if it is not for economic reasons in the company , namely:

Energy planet Mars conjunct Saturn, which controls target industries and position. This aspect makes you very ambitious and maybe something cool and restrictive in many situations. You are hardworking and duty -risk and are prepared to accept that it costs struggle to achieve what you want . Presumably your behavior and attitudes largely been facilitated by strict upbringing where you can quickly learned to take responsibility , not only yourself , but perhaps often for everything and everyone. At least suggests the aspect that it is essential for you to be able to grasp and be in control of any situation. It can be very distressing and stressful at times . Your dad or anyone else who may have been in his place or perhaps grandparents may especially have been the triggers for this behavior . You hardly feel that you have been allowed to be a child . And it may be wise to look at how much freedom you allow your environment to have. The most likely is that you impose strict requirements and your fellow hardly dare to be yourself in your company. Perhaps you feel that you have been below the ambient dominance, so you knowingly or unknowingly walking around with the motto : Dominate or be dominated . It all depends on how much you have worked on yourself in this area.

Best Regards

[rajath25]

Thanks BRvedic Sir; In the current scenario may I know when I will be able to get my next project? Will I have to relocate for the same?

I agree with most of the things that you have mentioned. Indeed it was because of budgetary cuts that my position became redundant; also I am very ambitious and like to be as independent as possible. Somehow I always seem to be the one who takes ownership/responsibility for other people's work within my team.

Rajath

Rajathbhai I will get Durga Pooja done by a priest for you. you pleace recite Durga 32 names daily. This will take care of your current problem. I will email you the pdf.

[revribhav]

You may suffer a temporary hardship (loss of mental equilibrium) as the lord of current dasa occupies 8th house.

[BRvedic]

Dear Rajath 25

Ok, so you're nevertheless not as bad

When you were fired 31 January 2014. Jupiter transits Ra in opp. transit 8th Lord Venus conj. Ketu in 10th house. - Rahu Jupiter transits at the same time.
In addition, a clearer transit between Jupiter and Pluto in exact extent 18.15 opp.

I would think there is an opening around July 2014, when Jupiter enters Cancer, 10th house of Dasha Jupiter. Jupiter becomes exalted and aspect Asc - and 10th house of the Moon - personal and job growth.

Best Regards

[rajath25]

Thanks astroduffer.


BRvedic Sir,

I was not fired and as such was given 2 weeks notice prior to Jan 31st. I left the office on Jan 31st at 6 PM; there was so much work to do; still cannot believe I am out of job now.

Respected astrologer,

FEEDBACK

I am happy to report that I found a new project and will be starting work from March 3rd. There were 2 rounds of interview and everything was confirmed by Feb 12th itself.

I had to relocate 2000 miles to the east . While I was not too happy about the relocation part, I am just glad that I got a project....without a job I become very sad and depressed.

Anyway I was very busy with packing, travelling and other relocation matters....so could not update this forum regarding the same. Now, as I type this email...I have some free time.... and I am all set to start work from March 3rd.

Thanks to all astrologers who spent time on analyzing my chart and provided their input.

Regards
Rajath

[Nitin21]

Hi Rajath ,

did you do any remedies ? please share

Honorable astrologers of LOVA,

Hope you are all doing well. I am doing fine but currently am faced with a number of decisions that I need to make in the next 1-2 months. These decisions have the potential to alter my life path radically.

By GOD's grace, I completed my MBA program last month. The business school where I did my MBA is ranked in the top 100 globally and in the top 25 within the USA.

My current project came to end on May 2nd. I have been working in the US for the close to 11 years now in the IT industry.

The question is:

Instead of searching for another programmer job should I concentrate on searching for a managerial position-either as a Project Manager or as a management consultant with consulting companies such as McKinsey, Deloitte, etc. Is the time right to make the career switch?

Factors to consider:

1. I am naturally inclined to a managerial role. I absolutely do not like programming any more. It pays my bills but it does not give me any job satisfaction whatsoever. Every day I drag myself to work. I am in a conflict with myself; my mind says something but my heart says just the opposite.

2. At the same time if I change my employer I have to start my GC process all over again. On a related note, the relationship with my current employer is going from bad to worse by the day. Every time I talk to them it ends up in a big argument. It is becoming unbearable the way they treat me.

In essence, if I follow my heart and pursue a management career with a new company I will have to start the GC process from scratch; and if I continue to work for the current company then I will have to live with the mental torture that I am going through on a daily basis.

I do not have any well-wishers in the USA and due to a number of reasons even my parents don’t talk to me anymore. I have no else to turn to but GOD and people like you who are providing selfless service when I need some advice. I am not just referring to astrological analysis but advice in general.

Can you please advise me if I should just focus on pursuing managerial opportunities? I mean is the time right for a career switch astrologically and otherwise? If yes, what is the probable time frame when I should expect to make the switch. Please note that I am currently looking for such openings and pursuing them aggressively.

Or should I just assume that it is my destiny to just be a programmer? If yes, then I would lose all hope in free will and human effort and just accept everything as predestined. Frankly, I have tried everything in my capacity to get ahead in my career and the MBA degree is the last throw of dice. If I don’t get to do which gives me satisfaction even after exploring all options, there is no point in continuing to live. I would be a walking corpse.
