The Influence Of Our Past Karma On The Choice Of Our Profession

Karma and its consequences is a well-discussed topic in Shrimad Bhagwat Geeta. Which karma should we perform and what type of effects will they create for us, forms an exciting subject in spiritual sciences. Well, the guidance from Astrology helps us in unfolding the mysteries of the laws of karma. It also shows us how to get rid of karmic debt. Mark Twain had rightly said, “The two most important days in our life are the day you are born, and the day you find out why.”


Do you know that our present life incarnation is connected with our past life karmas? It’s all as per karmic energy. We pursue different types of work and profession at different stages in our life. In certain situations, we do multiple tasks to make both ends meet. Sometimes, we take up a job after education. However, in the mid-thirties, we switch over to some other profession, which introduces us to the purpose of our birth. I myself took up Astrology as a profession after being highly successful in the education sector, wherein I was the principal of a college. As this was the purpose of my birth, it was a divine calling to make a difference in peoples’ lives by taking up this holy subject as a profession and help people around me. Do you want to ask me a question?

Although, all the planets, in some way or the other help you in deciding your profession, planet Saturn plays the most significant role in this area. Lord Shiva has blessed Saturn to judge and decide the karma of every individual. Saturn Mahadasha and Saturn Sade Sati take you towards your destined karma. When Saturn is in Gemini, it makes you become a writer, publisher, journalist. You may get into professions like reporting, marketing, mass media & communication if the Saturn is important in your horoscope. Lecturers and Professors have Saturn in Gemini.


On the other hand, Saturn in Leo, creates a kind of Raj Yoga. This may make you a filmmaker, or you may work in the film industry. It connects you with creativity and may even turn you into a minister or president of the country. Sir Francis Bacon had rightly said, “I hold every man a debtor to his profession”. Your karmic debt decides your profession.


You can know your profession by knowing your pending karma as your pending karma takes you in the direction of your destined profession. Placement of Saturn, ascendant lord and the lord of the 10th House decide whether you will be more successful in your country or abroad. Profession gives us our identity, and we are known for our work. Every planet, sign, house and nakshatra in which the planets are placed indicate our profession.


Different planets in the 10th house indicate various professions like how the Sun indicates medicine; Moon stands for import-export; mercury indicates accounting, business; Mars is for police and military; Jupiter is the symbol of astrology and education; Venus strengthens artistic work. 2nd house, 6th and 11th houses are the artha trikona houses, which let us know the work which will give you more income.

So be positive know your purpose of birth, work in that direction to make your present incarnation fruitful.
