Some years ago there was no separate career of astrology. This
was taken as an alternate profession. Now the complexion has totally changed.
Astrology became full-fledged career like other careers. Now a very big
question appears who will be astrologer?
The person interested in making career in astrology should get
his horoscope examined by a competent astrologer. There are many combinations
of planets which make one astrologer. I am giving below some of them which are
mentioned in ancient books on Indian astrology:
(1) A malefic planet
in 10th house from Moon having aspects of benefic planets makes one
astrologer.
(2) Ketu is placed in
3rd, 9th or 11th house from kaarkansh lagna
makes one expert in astrology.
(3) Mercury in 4th
house or in 2nd house along with Sun.
(4) Moon in Mithun,
Simh or Dhanur rashi having the aspect of Mercury on it.
(5) Jupiter is in
Mithun or Kanya rashi having the aspect of Mercury on it.
(6) Conjunction of
Mars & Venus also makes one good astrologer.
In my long experience in the field of astrology I have
found vinshansh & panchmansh charts useful in judging the predictive
capabilities of a person. Vinshansh Chakra is used to judge spiritual
attainments & Panchmansh Chakra is used to judge philosophical prospects.
In my experience in the field of astrology I have
found the following combinations if present in either vinshansh or in
panchmansh charts make one astrologer, spiritualist or an occultist:
(1) If in vinshansh
chart its lagna comes under the aspect of Mercury and same condition applies to
panchmansh chart. This makes one astrologer.
(2) If Jupiter
occupies the lagna of vinshansh chart or panchmansh charts.
(3) The exchange
between lord of lagna and that of 5th in either of the charts.
(4) The exchange between
lord of lagna and that of 9th in either of the charts.
(5) The exchange
between lord of Second and that of 9th in either of the charts.
(6) Mercury is in 5th
house in either of the charts.
(7) Any one of 1st,
4th, 7th or 10th houses of either of the
charts is occupied by its own lord.
The strong position of Mercury in any horoscope makes one ज्योतिषी
and the strong position of Jupiter in any horoscope makes one दैवज्ञ.
It is interesting to note that दैवज्ञ
is always superior to ज्योतिषी.
