Guest guest Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 by N Sundarararajan THE Classical text books on Astrology give a number of Graha Yogas for a person to work in a Nyayasthala or a Court of Law, i.e., for a person to engage in the legal profession. I give below some of the rules taken from a few classical Hindu astrological authorities: 1. Saravali: In the chapter on Dwigraha Yogas, the combination of Mercury and Venus is stated to make one qualified in law. 2. In the chapter on Chandra Navamsa Drigbala, it is stated if the Moon occupies the Navamsa of Taurus or Libra and is aspected by Jupiter, the person will be a lawyer and also a minister. 3. Satyachareeyam: The author attributes legal affairs to Jupiter in the karakathwas of planets. 4. While describing the effects of the 10th house, he attributes a job in the judiciary or as magistrate to Mars. 5. Giving an example horoscope, Satyacharya says a person born in Gemini Lagna with Mercury, Jupiter, Mars and Moon in the 11th (Aries) will be employed as a writer (clerk) in a court of law; since Mars owns the 6th house, a post in a nyayalaya (court) is indicated. 6. Kumaraswamiyam: If the 10th house or the Navamsa of the 10th house fall in the varga of Mercury, legal profession is indicagted. 7. Nadi Granthas: Mercury is attributed the karakatwa for a job in courts. 8. If Lagna lord is in the 10th, earnings through legal profession are indicted. 9. If Mars is in the 1st, 5th or 9th, a career in law through clear unambiguous arguments. 10. Saturn is indicated as karaka for a lawyer's profession. 11. If Jupiter, Mars, and Mercury occupy the 10th, one will be a judge. 12. If Jupiter, Mars, Sun and Saturn occupy the 10th, one will be a juidge who gives deterrent and severe punishment. 13. If Mars is in 1, 5, 9, he will be an expert in Nyaya Sastra (Legal Studies). 14. Uttarakalamrita: It is stated that if the lord of the Lagna occupies the first Drekkana of the Lagna, the person will be a judge. The above are some rules taken from a few important classics. Now we shall take illustrative horoscopes of some people who have been successful in the legal profession and try to derive some more astrological combinations from these horoscopes. Chart:1. 4.1.1952 at 11.13 IST 78.10E, 9.58N. Rasi--Pisces: Ascdt., the Moon and Jupiter; Leo: Ketu; Virgo: Mars and Saturn; Scorpio: Mercury and Venus; Sagittarius: the Sun; Aquarius: Rahu.

Chart No.1 is that of a brilliant person who has graduated both in commerce and law. He attends both Civil and Criminal cases and he is also a teacher taking classes in law for students. In this horoscope the Lagna lord Jupiter, who is also karaka for legal studies, occupies his own house and aspects the lord of the 4th house Mercury (who is also Karaka for legal education). In the Bhava Chart Mercury comes to the 10th. He enrolled as an advocate on 26.1.1981 in Venus Dasa Sun Bhukti.

These three planets have been defined as the karakas for the legal profession. In Chart I, Rule No.1 of Saravali regarding the combination of Mercury and Venus for a legal qualification is satisfied.
