Musician or Engineer

[Guest guest]

Namaste,

 

My son has a great talent for Carnatic Music (Classical Music of

South India)and has been performing for the past few years live

concerts some of which have even received critical acclaim in the

local newpapers. He is also in the Final year of his Engineering

(Electronics) course and is doing very well in his studies. I thought

of using my fledgling knowlege of Jyotisha to advise him on his

career moves but the complications presented by his chart were more

than what I could handle myself.

 

His birth details are - DOB 18th May, 1983 at 12.28 pm (afternoon) in

Madurai,India - 78E10,9N58.

 

1. Leo is the Lagna in his Rasi chart and Jupiter, Saturn and mercury

are retrogade. Of the 3, Saturn in the 3rd house Libra is exalted.

Among other things 3rd house signifies artistic capabilities and

throat. But how does a malefic which is retrogade and exalted behave -

as a malefic or as a benefic?

 

2. Venus, the lord of the 3rd House, is also the lord of the 10th.

Venus is a significator for artistic pursuits and in this chart the

dispositor of Saturn who is in the 3rd. Venus is in the 11th and his

Dasa is due to start in about 4 years. Does all this mean a career in

Music?

 

3. But Rahu and Venus are together in the 11th house Gemini. Some

even consider Gemini to be the exaltation sign of Rahu. So does Rahu

weaken Venus and nullify his promise or strengthen him?

 

4. Lord of the 11th Mercury is again retrogade and in the very good

9th house.Does this add to the strength of Venus?

 

5. Sun and Mars are in the 10th house. Mars is combust and sun is the

lord of the ascendant. This combination seems to indicate a career in

Engineering.

 

6. Currently he is running Ketu dasa for the next 4 years. Ketu is in

Sagittarius where he is exalted according to some. Jupiter the

dispositor of Ketu is retrogade in the 4th house, fully aspecting the

10th. Jupiter is also vargottama. Does he favour Engineering (Sun &

Mars) or Music (Venus)?

 

7. And last but not the least, Moon, Lord of the 12th is in his own

house cancer and is aspected by a retrograde Jupiter from the 4th

house. This seems to indicate something even spiritual. And because

of the aspect of Jupiter to the exalted Moon, both Ketu dasa and

Venus dasa should be able to deliver on the promise of the Moon.

 

As you can see, I am plainly lost.I will be only too happy to provide

whatever further information that may be required. May I request your

help. Many thanks and regards,

Dear Sh Venkatraman,

You have given a good astrological account. Your son is born with great luck and

talent both, particularly so if TOB is correct upto +/- 2 minutes. Please

describe the source of TOB. Give original time if it is the rectified one ? I

take exaltation of Rahu and Ketu in Taurus and Scorpio respectively.

Your son has good rajayoga. His means of living should come from Engg. only.

But, Venus dasa hold extraordinary promise for artistic performance too. Only

obstacle is that Venus is in the 8th from Karakamsa Lagna. Exalted Saturn may

give some unconventional / unorthodox touch to his performance. Try to see it

in your horoscope too.
