Making a successful career change using astrology

Using astrology can save a lot of anguish for people about to enter the job market or anyone seriously considering their most suitable profession to spend their lives in. Apparently a good career is the mark of a successful person. It displays a position of pride, implies affluence, and an enviable circle of high-rolling friends. This of course, can also be an illusion.

The area in the horoscope to analyze for 'career' is the 10th house. However, this house does not just show the typical job, but more, implies one's greatest pre-occupation. It reveals the subject's visionary targets. It is possible that the subject's 'hobby' may be found in the 10th house (where typically, a hobby is determined in the 5th house) more so than his daily job if he spends most of his awareness, greatest interest, and after-office motivations on the advancement of his hobby. It is easy for the astrologer to determine that his 'hobby' can become a major vocation than just a casual pre-occupation.

The 'stronger' the 10th house in the horoscope, the more visionary the subject is. The weaker the 10th house in the horoscope, the more he will float along with whatever comes his way. Where the former promises a character creating his own path, hacking his way to build his palatial abode in the new territory, the latter shows a character that will follow a well trodden, conventional path where he knows that out of a million huts, there is one waiting for his purchase and immediate occupation. A strong but positive Saturn against the backdrop of a weak 5th house would suggest that the subject is better off serving an employer.

For entrepreneurship, it is crucial to analyze not just the 10th house for his visionary aptitude, but the good astrologer should also analyze the 5th house since it is a clear indicator for business acumen. The stronger it is, the better his business acumen, and the more likely he is to get into entrepreneurship and become a business owner. But the 6th house should also be considered as it indicates his ability to serve society and how he is likely to contend with his adversaries, competition, authorities, the law, and probably even enemies. Then the 8th shows the privileges that await him. The more auspicious that house, the easier for him to receive kindness and support from others. If business sense is a strong presence in the horoscope, then the 7th house too is crucial as it relates to business partner issues, and sometimes even customer relations.

Most important of all, his personal profit and loss must be weighed from his 2nd and 11th houses together against the challenges of his 6th and 12th houses. If the former is judged to be 'stronger', then his likelihood for profits is better. If the latter is stronger, then his entrepreneurship is unlikely to reap expected rewards.
