In Vedic astrology, major career changes are typically indicated by the movement of key planets, the influence of planetary periods (Dasha), and significant transits (Gochar). Here are the primary factors that signal career shifts:
📊 Key Indicators of Career Changes
- Dasha (Planetary Periods)
- A shift in your Mahadasha (main period) or Antardasha (sub-period) can bring profound career changes.
- Especially impactful planets for career shifts:
- Saturn (Shani): Brings restructuring, responsibilities, or delays.
- Rahu/Ketu: Sudden, unexpected changes, often linked to unconventional paths.
- Jupiter (Guru): Expansion, promotions, or a shift toward teaching or spiritual pursuits.
- Mars (Mangal): Action-oriented, military, engineering, or leadership roles.
- Saturn Return (Shani Sade Sati)
- Occurs approximately every 29.5 years when Saturn returns to your natal position.
- Often prompts significant career evaluations or shifts.
- Transits of Major Planets (Gochar)
- Saturn (Shani): Moving through the 10th House (Career) or 1st House (Self) often triggers career change.
- Jupiter (Guru): Transit through the 10th House can bring growth, promotions, or a new professional path.
- Rahu/Ketu Axis: Their movement through the 10th and 4th Houses often signals sudden career upheavals.
- The 10th House (Karma Bhava)
- The 10th House in your birth chart governs career and public image.
- Watch for planetary aspects or transits to this house for job changes.
- A strong 10th Lord usually signifies career stability, while affliction can cause disruption.
