Saturn – The Indicator of Karma by Bhaskar Chakraborty

Article by Bhaskar Chakraborty

The necessary ingredient of our Indian philosophy or ‘Vednatik’ Darshana’ is underlying in the Karma theory. As per Lord Sri Krishna’s Verse no one can sit for a while without doing any Karma. Karma has a wider range of meaning. It is the Karma which is called the ‘Purusartha’ in Sanskrit. It has a great role to play in shaping one’s destiny. And, hence for the purpose of this article we will talk about the profession or the livelyhood of the individual.

According to the general rule of Astrology 10th house, the lord, its dispositor, the aspects there of decides the livelihood of any individual. The 2nd house there from i.e. the 11th house signifies gain, income etc. Saturn is the owner of the two succedding signs i.e. 10th & the 11th house of the natural Zodiac. So, the mystical planet Saturn has a definite role to play in one’s professional sphere. Sage Bhrigu has given paramount importance to the natural zodiac’s different houses according to their sign lord. Sage Satyacharya also paid due attention to the planet Saturn by saying ‘Karaka of Karma’ etc. As according to the principle of Bhrigu Nadi ‘Saturn aspected by planets or the planets aspecting Saturn’s 2nd house denotes the working places or the profession of the native’. This has a larger meaning. We should not misinterpret those lines by giving some narrow meanings. What the Sage intended to dictate us is that the Saturn is desireless and when he is aspected by some other planets (nadi aspect) or is associated with some other planets he will be influenced by the same or when he is alone, not aspected by any planet it will be enriched with the energy or energies of the next house. For detail understanding one should have the brief idea about the nature of all the planets and the Rasi Karakatwas. All the twelve Rasis has their own nature like Mesha is a fiery, dry. technical, has the ability to change the form by fire, powerful, dominating etc. etc. For the better undrstanding of my readers here I am giving some example charts which will show the validity of my views.

Name : Sri Natakrishna Parua

D.O.B.: 18-03-1954      T.O.B. – 2: 08 A.M. I.S.T. (+ 5:30)

P.O.B.: 22 N 18, 87°E 54

ASC – 27°Sag 59’         Mars – 25°SCO 39’       Sat – 15°Lib 27’(R)

Sun – 3°Pis 03’ Merc – 8°Aqua 59’        Rah – 28°Sag 46’

Moon – 15°Leo 06’       JUP – 25°Tau 12’

Ven – 14°Pisc 56’         Ket – 28° Gem 46’

One can notice here that Saturn is placed in Tula (Libra), a venusian sign, aspected by Mercury (5th & 9th, the Nadi aspect), posited in the same Tatwa i.e. Airy sign. So, it is sure that his profession will be business because Mercury is a planet giver of business. In our Indian Astrology Mercury is known as a ‘baniya’ i.e. a trader. Now, the question is about the type of business. Mars, the lord of the 12th & 5th house placed in his own house, hence the Mars is storng. Mars is known as the ‘Bhumiputra’ i.e. the son of the  Earth. Mars is a fiery planet. Vrishchika Rasi falls under Jalatattwa. It is the 2nd sign from natal Saturn. The native has 3 brick manufacturing units. For preparing bricks soil and water both are needed and overall fire, the main karakattwa of Mars is needed to shape them from flabbi one to solid form. There is the interchange between Venus and Jupiter. The 2nd house is also influenced by Venus, the another indicator of business and money. If one follow the rules of retrogression saturn will give the result of the previous house which is Kanya. Again it is a business oriented sign. The native has also two salt factory. Where machinery works are very much needed. Mars is the planet of machineries. One may notice here that Mercury and Moon is placed in 7th house to each other. Moon is also a karaka for watery substance. salt is prepared from the sea water only. So, Saturn is also linked with Moon through Mercury. In the 2nd house Mars is strongly placed and hence the native is engaged in those types of business. Now take the

case no. 2

D.O.B. – 14-06-1975

T.O.B. – 4: 10 A.M. (I.S.T.)

P.O.B.- 22 N 18, 87E 54

ASC – 17° Tau 15         Mars – 24°Pis 02’             Sat – 24° Gem 58’

Sun – 28° Tau 46’         Merc – 24° Tau 00’ (R)  Rah – 07° Sco 15’

Moon – 23° Can 03’      Jup – 25° Pis 32’              Ket – 07° Tau 15’

Ven – 14° Can 03’

This native’s case is very interesting. He himself and with friends also tried so many things, business etc. But failed miserably. They have a wine shop. When they were running it with the workers it was not in a good position. Sell of goods was 3-4000 Rs. per day. His father was not intended to send him to the shop as it is a wineshop. After proper advice, understanding the matter Astrologically became ready. As soon as he joined the shop it got the life and now-a-days the sell has come up in 70-80000 per day. One can notice here that Saturn, the indicator of profession is lonely posited in the sign Gemini, a Mercurian sign, the sign of business activities. The 2nd house from Saturn is occupied by venus and Moon, aspected by Juperter, the 8th & 11th lord, and Mars, the 7th & 12th lord (5th, Nadi aspect). Venus indicates luxury goods, sophisticated goods and Moon is for drinks, liquid etc. Mars is chemical and Jupiter also is posited in a watery sign. Though Venus and Moon does not augur a good financial position. But Cancer or Karkata is the exception. This is one of the special rule of Sage Bhrigu. The reason is Moon is used to be exaltated in Taurus (Vrishaba) which is the house of Venus. and, pisces is the exaltation sign of Venus whose owner Jupiter himself is used to be exalted in Cancer (Karkata).

So, in this case it played a great role. The 2nd house from Saturn is of watery nature and watery planets are posited there and the antive is earning a lot in selling the foreign liquors as their shop is a big one and destined to sell the foreign liquors only.

Now, take the case of Mr. Bill Gates of U.S.A., the pioneer and founder of Microsoft Company.

Saturn is exaltated in this chart and with his bosom friend Venus and with Sun in the house of Venus – A money oriented sign. Venus in Indian Astrology is called ‘Sukra’ Sukra is the Karaka of ‘Sukha’ i.e. material pleasure. In the  2nd house from Saturn Rahu is posited. Rahu indicates Shadow arts, Camera techniques or computer techniques. Rahu is for Vast and mamoth transactions. The sign lord or sign dispositor of Rahu is Mars who himself is a planet related with machines and machineries. Mars is with Mercury in Mercury’s most favourable sign. Mercury rules the communication as it is the owner of the 3rd house of the natural zodiac. 3rd house is also important for communication especially for bussiness activities.

All those factors suggest that this native will be expert in mamoth transaction related with machineries. One more interesting fact is that the planet Venus also is for sophisticated goods, ultramodern equipments etc.
