Job or Business – Decide Through Your Kundli

We often find ourselves confused—should we pursue a job or start a business? Sometimes, we switch from a job to business and face failure; at other times, a small shop grows into a million-rupee enterprise. These uncertainties persist. Let’s explore how you can resolve this confusion by analyzing certain houses and planets in your birth chart.

Career Guidance – Job or Business

Your birth chart (Kundli) is a cosmic map showing the positions of planets at the time, date, and place of your birth. These planetary energies can significantly influence your life. Vedic astrology helps us study this impact. The most important house to assess for job or business is the 10th House.

10th House – job or business

The 10th house and its lord indicate the most suitable profession for you. This house governs your job, status, promotions, and authority. Sun in the 10th House favors government jobs or high-ranking positions. Saturn in or aspecting the 10th House supports careers in traditional fields, administration, engineering, or law. Jupiter’s influence on the 10th House leads to success in teaching, law, spirituality, or advisory roles.

7th House – The House of Business

If your 7th house is strong, then business is your natural path. This house governs trade, partnerships, client relations, and deals. If the 7th lord or the house receives positive aspects from benefic planets, you likely have entrepreneurial potential. Mercury or Rahu in this house highlights success in technology, media, or marketing startups. Mercury gives intelligence, Rahu sharpens strategy, and Mars boosts risk-taking ability. If these planets are well-placed in the 3rd, 5th, 7th, or 11th houses, it’s almost a divine signal to start your own business.

Know Your Nature Through the Ascendant

Your Ascendant (Lagna) shows your core personality traits:

Leo, Aries, Scorpio: Naturally ambitious and risk-takers – ideal for business.
Virgo, Capricorn, Taurus: Practical and process-driven – better suited for jobs.
Libra, Gemini, Aquarius: Flexible and excellent at networking – can succeed in business and freelancing.
Cancer, Pisces: Emotional and sensitive – need purpose-driven, creative careers.

Right Timing for Action – Job or Business

Even with strong business potential, success requires the right planetary periods (Dasha).
A person with weak business combinations can still succeed during strong Jupiter or Mercury Dashas.
Always check the current and upcoming Mahadasha and Antardasha before planning your career.
