Professional Distress Pathemata Mathemata (German) “Sufferings are lessons” In any profession, there are periods, which if left unattended cause distress. This distress is the result of two major factors. The first factor is the interaction of professional indicators that is the L/LL, 10H/ L and the AMK planet with the Trik houses (6, 8, 12) their lords and the 5H/L. The second factor is Dasha controlled. Dashas of planets connected with houses mentioned above, at their end or beginning can cause distress. Dashas of retrograde or debilitated planets along with planets in planetary war also may be potentially distress producing. Sri K.N. Rao teaches one to be careful in Saturn/Venus or Rahu/Venus periods. The dasha’s make the package according to the yogas and planet's position based promises and transit delivers it. The transit of dasha planets (MD, AD and PD Lords) in 5, 6, 8, 12, houses or over the Retrograde, Combust planets and the Lords of 5, 6, 8, 12 houses triggers the period of crisis. : Let us study this in an example horoscope. lilustration - 1 DOB: 08 May 1952; TOB: 01:44:00; Bombay This native was born with Mars dasha balance of 4 yrs 2 months at birth.

Look at the 10° house Mars is the Lord. Mars is placed in 12" house from the 10" house. Both the MD and AD Lords are poorly placed from the Asc and the 10" house. The Jataka has the promises to run into professional distress by the dasha planets and executed by the transit planets. Let us now take a bird's eye view of the horoscope. The lagna Is. Aquarius at 1 Deg 51 Min. Rahu is placed in the Asc at 3 Deg 59 Min. Close conjunction of ASC and Rahu is the result. Asc Lord strengthens the Asc by aspecting it from the (R), position in the 7" house. Close association of the Lagna and Rahu, when both are in Dhanishtha, a constellation ruled by Mars, the 3° and the 10” Lord of this horoscope, inject imbalance and waywardness in efforts (3H) and professional decisions (10H) From the Moon sign if we examine we find that in this horoscope, Moon is in Virgo at 28°41", This is again the constellation of Mars. This Moon is opposed by Mercury located in second house at 27°53’. Moon and Mercury aspect one another almost to a degree. Moon is the 6L; it is placed in 8H conjunct 12 H Saturn. Moon has acquired the destabilizing and poorly focussed tendencies of the Trik houses. Add this to the wayward efforts of unbalanced professional approach and you have a person who at times would take bizarre, muddied and a shade self-destroying professional decisions. Mercury's debilitation infuses an arrogant superiority complex and condescending manner of talking to the others. The good points in the horoscope are the exalted Sun - 7 L, exalted in 3H with two benefics Venus and Jupiter, aspected by Mars the 3° and 10" L. He is married to a princess. There is an exchange of 3" and 9* Lords. The efforts are lucky. The person in normal times is on an excellent professional highway. Tn the D-9 Sun the 11L is in 2H and Mars the 2L is in 5H aspecting 11H and the 5L (Saturn). 5L is his 8 H aspecting 11L in 2H and 2L in 5H. A strong Dhan Yoga-riches in Navamsha. Riches flew in after marriage. Mercury and Moon are Vargottama in 6/12 axis. Through competitions are won with consummate skill but easy chances are muffed with regularity, Enigmatic personality results. The Natal chart has Saturn, the LL placed in the 8H aspecting the 10H. Saturn is conjunct GL Moon. This Saturn in the Navamsha continues to be in the 8" house. It continues to aspect the 10H and in this chart Saturn is the Yoga Karak planet being the lord of 4" of 5" houses. Saturn has the mutual aspect relationship with Mars. Note the placement of Mars in the 10" house from Saturn. In the D-9 we find 101
