Among all the possible events and happenings of normal adult life, probably the matters pertaining to PROFESSION are of far more importance in comparison – since most of the various other aspects of life – someway or other, directly or indirectly – are influenced by such happenings. Although in our country quite a number of female persons are also engaged in some profession or other nowadays, particularly the male persons are more seriously concerned about their professional prospects. Unless a person is suffering from some sort of physical infirmity or mental affliction, or is recovering from physical illness or injury, beginning from about the age-period of late teens to around early sixties, majority of persons (particularly, the male persons) normally remain actively engaged in some profession or other.

In this work, we have covered the age-periods from 17 to 64. Although the range has been quite arbitrarily chosen, still it may not be considered very unreasonable that at any age-period either below 17 or above 64, an average person is less likely to be in a condition to remain fully active on a regular basis. It must also be understood that here we do not propose to deal with the horoscopes of Kings & Queens, Presidents, Prime Ministers, Chief Ministers, Generals, Governors, immensely rich Industrialists & Business magnates, and various other persons of celebrity status; this is since the conditions and circumstances of their lives by far differ from those of common people. We have concentrated more on the lives of middle-class people (including lower-middle class and higher-middle class), and a host of noteworthy observations – which could be obtained from our special-purpose predictive astrology software within seconds – will be found to satisfy the people of such background by and large; and, that too with a very high degree of precision and accuracy.

It must be reasonably understood that we have concentrated more on ‘qualitative’ aspects, and less on ‘quantitative’ aspects. It is definitely possible to assess the quantitative aspects if total attention is concentrated on a particular horoscope isolatedly, but framing a general set of rules for broad-based application is definitely not an easy task – although it may not be impossible. It will also be found that we have viewed the same or similar aspects from various possible angles; this is since it IS really within our ambit, and one can never be successful to attain a very high degree of accuracy and precision without viewing the same thing from various angles.

Unlike various so-called ‘Pundits’ (!) and self-proclaimed ‘Astrologers’ (?), our extent of knowledge and information is definitely not restricted only upto ‘Vimshottari Dasha-Antardasha-Pratyantardasha, Planetary Transits (mainly Shani Sade-Sati, Ashtama-Shani, Kantaka-Shani, etc), Gaja-Keshari Yoga, Kal-Sarpa Yoga, Graha-Ratna, Cheap remedial measures (from ‘Lal Kitab’), Var-Vadhu Gun-Milan score, Mangalik-dosha & its cancellation, Varshaphala, and a lot of wind’! Those innumerable pitiable beings out there on the prowl – whose knowledge and information do not extend even one farthing further – will never at all be in a position to properly comprehend what kind of uncommon nonsense they have ever since been incessantly spitting out – by deceptively spicing them with stale jargon, and occasionally belching out crude fallacious arguments!

In passing, we must briefly touch upon ‘the vexed question of Ayanamsha’ – which makes most of the beginners and learners pretty confused. We are not interested to explore its theoretical basis; but we are concerned about its utilization aspect. In this respect, it should be understood that in fact the question is not about ascertaining which particular value of Ayanamsha value is correct.

Depending on the subtle differences of the employed methodology, one may find that one particular value of Ayanamsha (or a very slightly modified value of it) suits him/ her most. For general applications, Lahiri Ayanamsha may be followed – more so when someone wishes to use the divisional charts also. But in case of Kalachakra Dasha, a very slight adjustment is to be made to the value of Lahiri Ayanamsha – if one wishes to use very narrow-range periods (of 1. 67 days to 8. 75 days) as units for “timing of events”. As K.C.D. is a very high magnification of a very short span (3*20’ = 83 or 85 or 86 or 100 years), Raman Ayanamsha can never work in K.C.D.

However, these do not at all mean that Raman Ayanamsha is not correct; it rather is a very useful and workable Ayanamsha value. If the ‘Alternate’ method of divisions and sub-divisions is followed (12 divisions and 12 * 8 = 96 sub-divisions of the full-duration of a Dasha), then Raman’s Ayanamsha works perfectly in case of Vimshottari Dasha (and Shodashottari Dasha). … So, an earnest seeker of knowledge should not-, and must not-, arrive at any premature and ridiculous ‘conclusion’ – which might only be comparable to the legendary ‘blind man’s view of the elephant’!

There is another interesting field where Raman Ayanamsha works perfectly. Although not in our country, some enthusiastic persons in the western countries have long since been unsuccessfully trying various figures as divisors for directly converting the planetary longitudes into the age-periods – which are likely to be significant. Those persons had been using ‘Sayana’ longitudes of planets. Dr Raman himself had not been very optimistic about it, and considered such efforts as quite humorous. The fact is that the Conversion of longitudes of planets is possible with “Nirayana” longitudes only; and ironically, it perfectly works only with Raman’s value of Ayanamsha. There are at least two figures – each of which can independently be used as divisors for obtaining close-enough timing of events; and, not only the ‘timing of events’, by following certain systematic procedures the ‘nature of events’ can also be gleamed with a high degree of precision and accuracy.

Just after learning how to cast a horoscope on ‘Nirayana’ basis, a student invariably learns how to calculate the balance of (Vimshottari) Dasha at birth. He/ She feels greatly delighted by imagining that he/ she has come across ‘the golden key’ – which will help him/ her to become an Astrologer (meaningly, a person who can predict events correctly) pretty soon. But that is not at all the end of the problem – rather it actually is the beginning of a never-ending series of problems; this is since the more he/ she tries to learn, the more he/ she becomes confused! There are so much of information, mis-information, and dis-information available about Vimshottari Dasha-system that at present it appears to be a near-impossible task to isolate the corn from the chaff! Yet, Vimshottari Dasha still appears to rule supreme as the majority of people do not know how to use any other Dasha-system at all – while there are some loud-mouthed tall-claimers whose knowledge and information about the other useful Dasha-systems (like Kala Chakra Dasha, Jaimini Chara Dasha, Mandooka Dasha, etc) are thoroughly inadequate and grossly imperfect.

Particularly in such cases where some Conditional Dasha-systems work, it has been found that the conclusions obtained by using Vimshottari Dasha-system often proves to be unsatisfactory. As per the requisite conditions, if the ‘Shodashottari’ Dasha-system is applicable to a particular horoscope, then it would be more advisable to use Shodashottari Dasha-system – instead of ‘Vimshottari’ Dasha-system. Shodashottari Dasha-system might be roughly estimated to be applicable in 50% cases. … Another point that makes the learners quite confused is that if another Dasha-system is followed, then more often it is found that Dasha of a different planet is found to operate at a particular period of time. How can then the same or similar conclusion be obtained from the two different systems when one depends on planet ‘A’ situated in house ‘B’ and sign ‘C’, while the other depends on planet ‘X’ situated in house ‘Y’ and sign ‘Z’?

The reason lies somewhere else. A student of a lower class in a school – who has learnt ‘Arithmetic’– has the firm conviction that 2 plus 3 is ‘exactly equal to’ 5; but when he/ she begins learning ‘Calculus’, 2 plus 3 becomes ‘very nearly equal to 5’ instead! So, a person’s firmness of conviction is obviously a mere ‘relative’ thing with reference to time! … Actually, it should be construed that the planets themselves directly exert no specific influences – although they do signify certain characteristic traits and typical trends; the planets do not cause events and happenings – since their significations are essentially “esoteric”. … The positions and dispositions of the planets are actually the useful ‘tools’ by utilizing which the competent Astrologers look forward to deciphering the divine intentions. Through Astrology we have only been trying to comprehend the incomprehensible!

Astrology is said to be ‘half science, and half art’, and that’s the precise definition of ‘applied science’ or ‘technology’. Astrology is thus a highly technological subject – in the truest sense of the term. A well-qualified and experienced technologist occupying a senior position has to bear heavy responsibilities; he/ she cannot afford to be guided by dogmatic beliefs, biased views, or pre-conceived notions; any slight error, mistake, oversight, or even lack of alertness may and can cost him/ her dearly at any moment. So, he/ she must necessarily need to keep his ears and eyes open, brain cool, and faculties in perfect order. … Thus, it can be understood very well what the chief requisites of an Astrologer must essentially be. Bending a shape to fit a concept might be the accepted practice in some fields of fine arts – but it cannot be so in Astrology, as it is not a branch of fine arts. By imagining something first, and then firmly believing in the imagined thing afterwards can never lead one to the pinnacle of success. Time and again it has been reiterated that reason and logic are of utmost importance to the earnest enquirer than the vaunted learning of the academics.
