How Can Vedic Astrology Help Us Find Our Unique Purpose in Life?

The word “karma” in the Sanskrit language literally translates to “action” or “work”. In Vedic astrology, your birth chart is said to be a means of “reading your karma”, or understanding the accumulated results of your actions in previous lifetimes. By understanding this, one can gain an insight into his or her unique karmic potential in this life.

Now more than ever, many people feel like they don’t know what they want to do with their life, or more specifically, what they really want to do in their career. In other words, they don’t know what “work” or karma they are here to perform. As a result, they often lack passion in their current career paths and feel unsatisfied. Although your life’s purpose does not have to be defined by your career, many people find that the work they perform plays a significant role in their sense of purpose and overall well being.

The classical texts on astrology provide techniques for finding out what type of work an individual is destined to perform in this life. More importantly, remedies are prescribed for those who are struggling with career setbacks, to help them overcome obstacles and attain success.

What a Career Consultation Can Reveal

A career consultation serves to give you insights into the various aspects of your professional life through the lens of astrology. It shows you the time periods when you are most likely to succeed in your career or get promotions. It indicates where your strengths and preferences lie, as well as potential pitfalls which you need to be aware of. This consultation can also reveal what career path is best for you, to ensure your long term happiness and financial success.

We take many factors from your astrological chart into account, to provide you with the most useful information. When we look into your astrology, your chart will tell us a story about what you’re here to do in this life. By utilizing three different systems of Vedic astrology (Parashari, Jaimini and Bhrigu Nandi Nadi) we gain a much clearer picture of how that story will unfold.

Here are just a few of the many factors we will be looking into:

• The condition of Saturn, the planet of career, in your chart
• A special divisional chart related to your professional life called the “dashamsha”
• The condition of the tenth house of your birth chart from the ascendant and Moon
• The placement and condition of your “amatya karaka” or “indicator of career” in the Jaimini system of astrology
• The current planetary time period you are running and when you’re likely to find success
• The time periods of signs related to the “amatya karaka” in the Jaimini system

We will explain what all of this means for you, and much more, in your consultation. The wealth of information your birth chart holds is massive, and can prove to be incredibly useful.
