EDUCATION liberates a soul from darkness
of ignorance to the glory of true knowledge
and bliss. But today the evolution of human
race is due to constant endeavour of each parent to
see their children move ahead and achieve, and get
prestigious and lucrative job, even at the cost of their
own discomforts.
Education may be divided into two parts. One from
class room reading or learning under the guidance of
Guru (Teacher). i.e. Arjuna learned everything from
Guru Dhronacharya. The second one is self-learning
by practice. i.e. Ekalaivan learned the arts by himself,
by taking Dhronacharya in his mind as Guru.
Nowadays we can come across many Astrologers
learning Astrology by practice, without class room
studies or guidance from a Guru
(Teacher).
Planets responsible for Education should be strong
and operative at the right age. We have to analyse
the strength of almost all the houses. If any of the
karaka planets and the house are related to 6,8,12,
then definitely there will be obstruction for studies
and the native could not shine in academics
(this is
only a general rule, but exceptions are there for
certain field of studies). Nowadays, the stream/
branches of education are so many and varied; to
get admission therein is so competitive and difficult
for the young students and their parents. Hence there
is a definite need to have astrological and
psychological counseling for specific educational
fields. There are a number of astrological yogas,
combinations, arishtas to indicate the course of study.
Yet the astrologer has to utilize his knowledge and
intuition to the maximum to be able to provide the
correct and timely counsel.
Signified Houses and Planets for education
Generally to ascertain the educational achievement
of a native, we have to analyse 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 9th
houses and their lords.
1st house indicate the physical
strength and mental aptitude and inclination.
2nd
house for primary education and learning from home,
memory of the child and power of expression (speech);
3rd house to be seen for efforts and hard
work, as the competition is very tough; 4th house for
atmosphere conducive for learning;
5th for Poorva
Punya and level of learning (intelligence,
shrewdness), scholarship in literature;
9th for higher
studies, metaphysical studies, law, philosophy, science
and literature. Vidya Karaka Mercury (for memory),
planet for Wisdom
Jupiter and planet for fine arts
and learning
Venus should be strong in a chart, to
give good education to the native. Moon (for
concentration) also should be strong. Saturn signifies
Research because a lot of hard work is needed.
Combination of 5th, 9th and 8th lords give rise to Maha Vigyan Yoga.
The educational achievement may be affected in general, if
a) If 2, 4 or 5th house or lords are debilitated or hemmed between malefics
b) If malefic like Saturn or Rahu or both placed in the 2nd house
c) If Mercury or Jupiter or the Sun is debilitated
d) If Mercury is aspected by malefic.
But other matters such as lordship, planetary position
in Varga charts, Dasa bhukti period, etc. also should
be taken care of.
Choosing right career is very important for good
progress in one's life; Career Astrology is an important
one. Find out the profession, which his D1, D9, D10
and D24 charts support; then it will be easy to get
success in academics of that profession.
Medical Profession
The profession of Physician (Medicine) is considered to be a noble profession. "Vedo Narayano Hari"
(Doctor is God).
According to Puranas, God was born as Dhanvantari
during the churning of the Milky Ocean, holding a pot
full of nector to cure humanity. Charak and Sushruta
were other names in the field of medicines treating
and rejuvenating the body.
Emphasis on social service to humanity has changed
these days to that of financial gains. The change in
thinking would also mean change in planetary
influences. Therefore basic combinations in classics
relating to drugs might be the same. But the mental
inclination as given in classical books may shift from
role of Jupiter as benign factor to aggressive role of
malefics like Mars, Saturn and Rahu.
Medical Science has various systems of treatment like
Allopathy, Siddha, Ayurveda, Homeopathy, Unani,
Naturopathy, Acupunture and Veterinary science. It
has also various branches like Dermatology, Urology,
Gynecology, Pediatrics, Neurology, Oncoology,
Orthopedic, Radiology, Ophthalmology, physiotherapy,
Dentistry, Management of public health, etc.

Planets
1. Sun is the most important planet for Medical Profession, as giver and sustainer of life. It is also lord of 5th house of Natural Zodiac and essential for success and achievement. Therefore it should be strong for Medical Profession. 10th house/lord should have connection in D1, D9, D24 as well as D10.

Nadi Astrology
1. 4th lord in the 10th and the Sun in Sagittarius in Moola star.
2. 10th lord in Moola star and aspecting the 10th house.
First we have to study the 5th house (knowledge), 10th house (profession, rewards, and recognition), 6th house (disease) and 12th (hospital). Scorpio is the important sign in D1, & D10 charts as well as other Divisional charts. Amatya Karaka planet is also important for profession.
The 9th, 2nd and 11th houses are supporting houses, to analyse the Medical profession. If Jupiter, Sun, Moon, Venus or Mars are related with these houses and signs, it will make planetary combinations for Medical profession.
Some of the classics and scholars of astrology opine that retrograde planet/planets should also be considered, operating from the previous house from its actual location.
Aswini Nakshatra is ruled by Ketu and its deity is Ashwini Kumaras. As per Hindu Mythology, Ashwini Kumaras are known as the Physician of the gods. So when 10th lord is in Aswini star or Sun/Moon is in this star, then the native may enter into Medical Profession.
Sometimes some students may pursue medical education. But after joining the course, they may find it difficult to continue and leave without completing the course. Some other people may complete the course successfully, but may not continue as Medical practitioner and work in some other field. While selecting the course, one may have to analyse D24, to know whether the field of study chosen is correct. From D24, we can predict the educational success, achievement and the devotional life of the individual.
If 4th house in D24 is strong, the native will enjoy the study with enthusiasm.
If Jupiter, Mercury and the Moon are in Vargottama or Bhavotham in D1 and D24, then their Dasa period will be good.
If Jupiter is strong in D24 (in Kendra, Trine, exaltation or in own house) with Saturn, then the learning pattern will be perfect.
Rahu should not get associated with Lagna/lord, Jupiter, Moon, 4th house and Saturn. The native may change the stream of education suddenly or discontinue.

This girl got only below 95% in High school level CBSC Board examination. But she secured good marks in NEET examination, the qualifying examination for Medical seat. Last year, there was total confusion in Tamil Nadu, regarding the admission in Medical colleges, whether to give admission according to the ranking in NEET or the Board examination. Finally the Court intervened and gave instructions to follow NEET ranking. During this interim period, she joined a Para-Medical course in a Medical college in Mysore and then after quitting that course she joined Kilpauk Medical College in Chennai, Tamilnadu.
Rahu in Saturn’s star and posited in Moon’s house in D1 and D10. Hence, Rahu is associated with Saturn and Moon (D9).
