How do Planets influence our Career Prospects?
To understand the career prospects of a native it is important to note that the profession would depend on the Navamsa occupied by the tenth house in the natal chart. Varahmihir has also emphasized that career should be reckoned from the tenth house from the Ascendant or the Moon or the Sun whichever of the three is stronger. Shri Hardeo Sharma Trivedi called the lord of the Navamsa where the tenth lord of the natal chart was placed as the key planet.
