Pannets in 10th house, lord of the 10th house, those influencing Lagna, lord of lagna, the Sun and the Moon, are all significators of profession.
The sings occupied by the significators of profession also influence of profession.
Consideration of all the three lagnas_ Janam lagna, Chandra lagna and the Surya lagna is necessary। भेन्व्दाकर्तः । भ means janam lagna, इंदु means the Moon and अर्क the Sun. Planets having the gretest influence over these do indicate the professions.
Thus it is necessary to know the professions indicated by the different planets and by the signs first of all. Then these have to synthesised together. For this one has to study a good number of horoscopes. Also the same person will follow different occupations at different periods. For this, it would be necessary to examine dasha periods he will be running. The nature of the planets vary according to the aspects, conjuction, placement, the signs and houses of occupation, the Navamshas they occypy, the stars they occupy and so on.
Firstly we will broadly outline the jobs ascribed to each planet.
THE SUN :-The Sun indicates government service, trees, timber, chanting of hymns, gambling, wool, medicine, metal work, gold, father, kings, fire arms, fire, poisons, and forests.
The Sun denotes government official, kings and administrators. One may be in a government service, or in the service of a noble man or king.
The Sun indicats one's father. When the Sun is connected with the 10th house. One may have income through his father. Or he may use his father's property as capital and thereby prosper. This can be so when the influence of the 9 or 5 falls on the Sun.
The Sun indicates medicines, and medical profession too. If it is a significator of proffession, by being connected with the 10th house, and other significantors (like Mars) also denote the same, one may take to medical profession.
Influence of Mars, Kethu etc. would indicate professions connected with fire and fire arms.
Influence of Jupiter, as lord of 9th house would point out to chantig of hymns and the profession of a priests. Or he may be employed in a mutt or a religious intitution. The reason for thisis, that the Sun is a satvic planet. Influence of the 12th house is also to be considered here. For the twelth house is said to have close connection with temples because the Sun indicates timber. When it is connected with the lord of the 4th house, one may be supplier of timber for house construction. Or he may be a furniture merchant as the fourth house signifies such matters.
Note: Each profession is signified by one or more planets. It is also signified by one or more houses. Thus the two indications(i.e of the planets and the houses) have to be blended together. Consideration should be done w.r.t. Lagna and Chandra lagna. In the present section, the significance of the planets is being given. it should be properly sythesised with the indications of houses and after careful judgement, final conclusion should be arrieved at.
