How Strong is the Connection Between your Career and Money | Vedic Astrology

1. How Strong is the Connection Between your Career and Money? Do I see an eye roll? It’s understandable because though it sounds cool, how many of us get to this stage in our work lives? Now, Vedic Astrologydoesn’t beat around the bush regarding career matters, and it sets out a clear and definitive path to determine career prospects: A) What do you love doing? You can gauge this by knowing which planet is your Amatyakaraka or AMK. AMK is the planet with the second-highest degree in your chart. It is like your right hand, a natural way of expressing yourself. So, for example, if Venus is your AMK, you will shine in professions related to creative fields, politics, etc. B) Where does your money come from? This trade/job/craft may not be what you are great at, but it puts food on your table. You may have heard of people who have a 9-to-5 job that gives them bread and butter, but their after-office hours stock trading gets them the jam and caviar. So, your job may not be your money-maker. The planet at work here is Darakaraka (DK), the planet with the lowest degree in the chart.

2. For example, you may be an excellent artist, but your paintings sell for a song. A lot of good painters can’t monetize their talent. On the other hand, famous artists with middling talent sell their paintings for a fortune. So, what’s going on here? A. In the first instance, the individual is blessed by their AMK. They are talented but unable to make money through it. (DK) B. The second instance is when the person is highly blessed by DK even though they are not talented (AMK). It’s like when a skilled actor ends up with bit parts in movies while beefy, no- good stars earn billions by merely showing up on the screen. What’s the Moral of the Story? There must be a link, a strong connection between the AMK and DK planets, for the money and career arcs to combine. A good astrologer will find this connection for you. Sometimes the association is straightforward, like the two planets sharing an aspect or house. Other times, the link is via certain conditions, such as a raja yoga fructifying only when you leave your country and work aboard. At times, there is no link between the AMK and DK. The benefits of money accrue only when a Mahadasha begins, and it’s a long waiting game, as seen in the case of people who earn fame or success late in life. The ideal situation? When there is a link between the AMK and DK, like in the horoscope of Amitabh Bachchan. He does what he loves and loves what he does and is making billions from it. No matter who tells you what, remember that the primary focus of a career is to make money. The horoscope’s 2nd, 6th, and 10th Houses play a significant role in this matter. They are called the Artha houses, and the state and strength of these houses, aspects and conjunctions in them will tell you how your career and money will add up. It is good to have planets in these houses positively related. Apart from the three Artha houses, there are four planets that influence your career and money:

3. Mercury: It is the primary karaka for earning money. Saturn: It signifies the amount of labour you need to put in to earn money and build a career. Sun: Its strength, placement, and aspects determine your employability. Jupiter: It decides if you will get success. To channel money flow in your career, be open to learning; be flexible and willing to change. The last word What stage of your career are you in? Are the dots not connecting in your chart? Are you finding it hard to monetize your career? Or the money is flowing in, but you are unhappy with your work? It’s a patchwork quilt of possibilities, but a good astrologer will link the dots and help you see the path.
