   Dear Vistiji,namaskar

   I am in a dilemma regarding a decision i have to make. I am doing mba and confused between specializing in finance or operations. As it is related to education i suppose we should analyze D 24.
   Since it is post graduation, we should see 2nd house and it has Sun in Aquarius, Sun is supposed to be a macro manager , but i am a little confused as to what its role would be in aquarius? as it is airy sign, may be it denotes expansion.
   Also the second house is colorded by rahu and saturn. since rahu is in kendra and joined by 3 planets rahu will domainate. Rahu i suppose signifies research etc.
   I am also providing my birth data so that u can correct me.
   Birth Date 07/01/1982
   time09:12 a.m.
   place Mumbai
   I actually have lots of queries in this regard and so am sharing some of steps that i follow while analyzing this aspect
   For specializing in H.R.watery signs with moon,mercury,venus
   For specializing in finance earthy signs with mercury(jup)
   For specializing in marketing airy sign with mercury
   For IT Firy signs with mars,ketu etc
   for operations ?

   Dear Viresh, Namaskar.
   Have you rectified your Siddhamsa (d24) chart? Normally MBA is associated with Venus, and with Venus lording the ninth house and joined the second house it shows a post graduate in MBA, after your diploma/bachelors. Also note the dasa of Venus running.
   Pisces is the second house and shows either finance (jupiter) or operations… I looked up what operations implied on http://answers.com
   —-
   Operations management is an area of business that is concerned with the production of goods and services, and involves the responsibility of ensuring that business operations are efficient and effective. It is also the management of resources and the distribution of goods and services to customers.
   —-
   The latter is definitely indicated by Venus as its a very client oriented, whereas i cannot see the same from the former definition.
   Now, among Jupiter and Venus - Venus is in Digbala in the fourth house which gives great intelligence and understanding of the ‘client-side’ of business. Essentially to study something one must understand it, and you do understand how to ‘handle’ clients according to this.
   Let me know what you think.
   Yours sincerely, Visti Larsen

   HARE RAMA KRISHNA

   Dear Vistiji, Namaskar

   You talked about correcting my D24. I guess logic in correcting in any chart is to start from lower divisional chart(D9, D3, D10 ) etc and then move on to higher charts like D20, D24 etc. (plz correct if i am wrong)

   Accordingly i looked at my D9 and it is on border of cancer and leo. I checked out narayana das of D9 and found that capricorn dasa just ended and aquarius dasa started and is going to be there till 2015. Since i did not get married in capricorn dasa it is quiet possible that lagna could be leo
   Ofcourse changing lagna would mean that instead of having deb. mercury in trikona(9th), i will have exalted ketu(5th)

   I also tried to make some sense of change in lagna in D24 through events in my life

   1 Got into engg.(instrumentation) in july 1999.

   2 Fared miserably in engg. took 7 years to clear it instead of 4!

   3 Cleared engg and got into mba in 2006. Actually period between 25 June and 20 July 2006 was cruial bcoz during that period i cleared engg and got admission in mba.

   4. Started learning jyotish in Jan 2004

   While few factors did favour aquarius lagna, few did not

   During june-july 2006 in D24 i was running virgo/virgo dasa. If it is aqu lagnqa virgo comes in 8th house, whereas if we take capri lagna, it comes in 9th which i guess makes more sense.

   I also looked at D20 to correct my chart further. I have Sun in fifth & i do pray shiva everyday (om namah shivay). however if we move it to next lagna, jup would be in 5th,but i dont pray sambsadashiva or vamana etc. actually i also like Vishnu & Krishna. but i think Sun in 5th does make sense, so would that mean we dont have to go beyond the 3 min. window that D20 is offering?

   Dear Viresh, Namaskar.
   If you did engineering prior to this, then you cannot have Aquarius lagna in your D24. Instead ninth lord Mercury being aspected by Mars and Ketu from Cancer shows the engineering, as well as the delay due to the involvement of the nodes on the education.

   You ended engineering in Venus antaradasa, and Venus is the tenth lord (finishing diploma/bachelors). Now, with Venus in Marana Karaka Sthana, it would be surprising to see you continue studying had it not been for Saturn. Saturn is karaka for the sixth house, and being in a trine will take Venus out of Marana karaka sthana through sheer hard work. Since Saturn is also second lord it will also give the Masters education subsequently.

   So based on your engineering studies and the finishing of the same, i can justify Capricorn as being the Siddhamsa lagna. The education is still related to that Jupiter-Venus Yoga, and Jupiter is better placed showing that finances would be a better area for you to study.
   Hope this helps.
   Yours sincerely, Visti Larsen.

   Dear Vistiji, namaskar

   Just to finish of the discussionon D 24. Let us say if someone with this horoscope would have come to ask about which field to graduate in, would it make sense to suggest commerce & particularly economics since 9th lord is mercury and he is very well placed in lagna. Also, does mercury in doesnt mercury in lagna show a keen learner? & also good for learining mantras. Actually Sanjayji in his lecture discussed this combination for 2 to 3 astrologers and said that any planet in lagna gives complete knowledge of the houses it lords.
   Also finally, in D10 also i have Venus as 2nd and 7th lord in 10th. and there is a dharma-karmadhipati yoga between saturn & jupiiter in aqu. I guess both saturn & juiter are strong in aqu. They also give argala to 10th house. So is it correct to say that i may even work in management role?
   Also you said that i cleared my engg in venus anterdasa, but i have more planets in kendra from lagna in rasi chart so shouldnt we be taking vim dasa from lagna?
   Do we take reference to strenght of lagna and moon in each div chart as well, bcoz in D24 MOON is stronger as it is in kendra?

   Dear Viresh, Namaskar.
   I checked both dasas before I wrote about your chart, and both made sense, yet I personally prefer Vimshottari from Moon for my own less exemplary reasons.

   Jupiters placement is important for good learning skills, whilst Mercury gives good studying-skills, i.e. being good at asking questions and doing homework.

   Keep in mind that it is VENUS that shows management, not Shani or Jupiter. Argala to tenth house never defined the profession.

   Yes, Mercuries placement would compel me to advise a commerce related education, but one must keep in mind the dristis of the ninth lord as well, as those will show which subjects are of particular interest for the higher studies.
   Yours sincerely, Visti Larsen.

   Vistiji,

   I have contemplating an MBA from abroad for long long time, but has always been absolved with work. D24 shows Rahu and Ketu in 2nd house screwing Masters education. Also Lagna has Retrograde and exalted Saturn akin to being debilitated. Moon is in chara rasi showing problems focussing . However Lagna lord Venus in 4th shows some hope.2nd Lord in 12th indicates education in foriegn land ?

   Chances are low, what do you say ? If Ista devata Ra blesses then perhaps it may. Dwisapta sama dasa of Ve and Sa is running. Perhaps Ve-Ra in Oct 2008, i know its so controversial and impossible but ista devata pooja may trigger it

   Regards,

   Subbu

   Dear Vistiji ,Namaskar

   One question regarding my job,I checked my dasamsha chart for getting a glimpse of my career which is till now never smooth going,I often end up in wrong places .

   I am working as a software engineer in a big MNC right now

   I find that my D-10 has 4 planets exalted with libra as lagna
   mars in lagna,moon in 12th house
   saturn in 5th house ,sun in 11th house,venus,jupiter in 3rd house
   mercury in 10th house with ketu

   though i have many planets in own auspicious houses and there is exchange between mercury and moon ,I am experencing many hurdles in my career due to secret enemies pulling me down .
   please advice about my career

   Dear Members, Namaskar.

   Subbu
   Does Venus influence the second house in D24? If not where is the MBA?

   Prasad
   in the chart that you have described i find no planets in exaltation? Just Sun, Jupiter and Saturn in own sign.
   What is your tenth lord from Rasi chart? Examine its placement here in the Dasamsa to know how stable your career will be and how successful as well.

   Yours sincerely, Visti Larsen

    Dear Vistiji,
    thanks for that,
    in rasi chart of libra lagna my 10th lord is moon who is with mars in 9th house.
    6-8-12th lords merc-jup-venus in conjunction in 10th house
    In Dasamsa,he is in 12 th house exchanging places with mercury who is in 10th house ,with rahu

    what is the significance of this exchange between 10 and 12th lords in libra lagna ,does it tell any problems in jobs

    thanks

    Dear Vistiji

    In the article you have mentioned that Lagna BAV shows the native’s intelligence. However, as I was looking at chart of Ramnujan Srinivas (the great mathematician) I found that the BAV ascendent BAV points for lagna are just 3(usually taken as poor). However the BAV points for the d-20 and d-24 were high (6,5). Does this indicate a lack of interest in daily life but greater application of intelligence in studies and spirituality

    regards
    nimisha

    Dear Members, Namaskar.

    Prasad
    It means there will be more success in profession once you go abroad.

    Nimisha
    For some time now people are using astakavarga to count the money in the bank account, yet this is not possible with Astakavarga. Similarly you cannot count his brain cells using Astakavarga as you have just realized.
    But, you can ascertain which areas of life he has more support for, and which he has least. Further you can also see which planets are giving this support.
    So, if he wishes to learn more and expand his intelligence, then Lagna BAV should have a reasonable contribution to his lagna lord.
    Similarly see the other houses to see the contribution to other areas of life, i.e. being involved in competitions requires contribution to the sixth house.

    Your assesment of the contribution to the lagna itself is correct and shows whether he supports his health (d1), wealth (d2) or other areas of life respectively.

    Yours sincerely, Visti Larsen
