In today’s day and age, career planning is increasingly viewed as the number one life priority by many people — more so by urban youngsters. Yet there’s a growing conundrum on this front. While most people do realize the benefits of planning his/her career optimally, they do not take the right action to ensure that they are making the best career choices or decisions for themselves that in turn will lead them towards success. Rather, in India, so many of us are driven by our own biases, intuition or gut feeling, whims and fancies, and so on when it comes to decision-making for our careers. Or worse even, there are many others who would plan their careers purely based on what their parents are saying or what society or their peers are doing!
When career-related decisions are taken so whimsically and without giving too much thought, your chances of experiencing failure become inevitable. But what if we told you there’s a better way and a more powerful (and nearly fail-proof) methodology to plan your career? Yes, we are talking here about — ‘Vedic Wisdom’.

To put it simply, Vedic Wisdom represents the wisdom, knowledge, and philosophies that are derived from Vedic literature and texts and Vedic teachings — all of which, despite being an ages-old combination of science and spirituality, stand to be of utmost relevance and importance even today! Notably, Astrology or ‘Jyotish’ forms the cornerstone or foundational pillar of the wide-ranging ambit of Vedic Wisdom. And Vedic Astrology has been proven to be a highly potent tool to identify one’s inborn strengths and natural tendencies at birth. Identifying such tendencies at a young age (preferably during the teens) can be extremely useful when opting for a certain career direction or field, to begin with. Additionally, it can also help you later on while attempting to find various answers throughout your life and career on the key questions related to career choices, career growth, and development in a certain field or domain, mid-career or late-career job change, or career change decision, and so on.

But then, how exactly does Vedic Astrology work in order to empower people to achieve success in their careers? The answer is: Vedic Astrology takes into account the place, date, and time of a person’s birth to create a birth chart, and then makes calculations, analyses, and predictions based on the same. Within the birth chart, the 10th House (also known as the House of Career) relates to a person’s professional life and career trajectory in general, whereas other Houses that are also needed to be studied carefully when it comes to career planning include the 2nd House — meant for the source of income and inflow of wealth; the 5th House — which is the house of education; the 6th House — which represents the inherent strength to overcome challenges that could also be career-related; the 9th house for higher education as well as our Dharma and teachers; and the 11th House — meant for the source of gains, especially from Karma (our work). The findings are synthesized with the planets that are the House Lords as well as those that are the natural significators.

Besides these birth chart readings, Vedic Astrology further studies planetary positions at birth, movements, and influence of Planets, among other key factors that can have a role in defining the career success of an individual while analyzing and intersecting these factors with the ‘Dasha System’, relevant Divisional Charts, Transits and other frameworks and systems embedded within the ancient Vedic Astrology principles.

That being said, the complexities and nuances involved in Vedic Astrology are often too many and too much to handle; and this is exactly why there are today there are only a very few Vedic Astrologers or Vedic Experts would be able to decipher these readings accurately and provide you with a right career direction. So, while it is very important that you consult a well-trained and accomplished Vedic Astrologer, at the same time, it is prudent to complement the career-related predictions and suggestions made by the astrologer along with the Western rigor of multiple Psychometric Tools and then go for yet another round of validation through ‘Perceived Interest’ validation with a complete 360-degree Astro Profiling. Having all of these 3 data points (based on Vedic Astrology, Psychometric Tools and Perceived Interest) handy and integrated into your Astro Profiling will collectively enable you to ensure that you never make a decision that can derail or become detrimental to your career!

Final words

The scope and depth of Vedic Wisdom are so vast that it covers nearly every aspect of our life and can therefore help one to look for the answer to each and every question he/she might have or any problem/challenge in life he or she might be facing. Needless to say, Vedic Wisdom can also play a significant role to enable people to make the most impactful career choices as well as helping them address numerous concerns or worries about their careers. Guided by Vedic wisdom, when one continues making the right career choices and decisions time and again, the chances of him/her attaining massive success certainly increase exponentially.

And therefore, remember, embracing Vedic Astrology in particular, and Vedic Wisdom in general, as the “North Star” (guiding light) and as an integral part of your life and career allows you to never lose sight of the path on which you are meant to be and to make the right decisions at every stage of your professional and personal life — the path that will lead you to eventually achieving massive career success, fulfillment, and prosperity and thus becoming a Legend one day!
