Often there is a question as to how people having different horoscope enter the
same profession. The simple answer to this could be that their horoscopes must
bear some similar factors.
To locate such factors, an investigation into the nativities of those coming under
the same profession would be necessary on the following lines :
Thus the planets and the Zodiacal houses, so established for a particular
profession, would go to make the common or similar factors for each profession.

The functions of the administrative officer (I.A.S.) are rather undefined and
unlimited. However, in various capacities , they are of different natures. In one
capacity, one of his important function is to tender advice to the political
executives with his inherent talent, knowledge of technicalities of administration
and his reservoir of information and thus, help in formulation of policies and
enactment of laws. His task in this respect goes even further. In order to execute
the laws and the public policy, he sets-up the work of programme-planning; and
thus, arranges to maintain co-ordination.
It will not be out of season to mention that instead of considering the planets in
their individual capacity, an astrologer may normally, focus on looking for Raja
Yogas. One, two or more such Yogas in the horoscope may lead one to mistake
them as qualified for the I.A.S. job.
2/20
1. Firstly, a Raja Yoga is different from Rajya Yoga, and the former is not be
confused for the latter.
2. The Raja Yoga in a horoscope indicates health, happiness and comforts and
luxuries of life as per their constituents, and also certainly indicates political
power but it would require a good deal of study and investigation before one
could definitely in what manner a Raja Yoga is likely to manifest.
3. The Raja Yoga in different horoscopes are generally, of different type and
strength (vide horoscope under review for ready reference), except one or the
other of them being common, but that too, not in all cases.
4. The Raja Yogas are not always dependable, rather are ineffective, if the
component planets suffer from any inability due to maleficence, and thus, are
rendered powerless to give results of the Yoga.
5. Moreover, it is also to be noted that the Raja Yogas, no doubt, have a generial
impact on the horoscope, but they fructify mainly when the Dasa-Bhukti of the
palnets forming the Yoga come to operate in the life-time of the individual
concerned, which may not necessarily coincide with the time of entrance into the
profession.
6. Over and above all, it is also very pertinent to see whether there is any malefic
or evil Yoga in the horoscope, in addition to the benefics ones, which if it exists,
will mar the results of even the benefics Yogas, just as a drop of poison in a jar of
milk spoils all the milk.

planets;
Status of Planets
meaning, that the Sun and the Moon are sovereigns; Jupiter and Venus are
counsellors; Mercury is the heir-apparent (young prince); Mars is the
commander-in-chief; and Saturn is the servant. In saying that the Sun and the
Moon are sovereigns, it must be understood that the Sun is the king, the Moon
being the Queen. Similarly, Jupiter is the minister (External Affairs) and Venus is
his wife (Minister for Internal Affairs or the matters inside the house).
4/20
Further, the Sun rules the six signs from Leo taken in the negative side while
the Moon is the lord of the other six signs, from Cancer counted in the
opposite side. It is by these two luminaries that the supremacy over the other
10 signs has been given to Mars and the other planets. That is to say, the 2nd
place from the Sun in Leo, his throne-seat, (negatively) has been alloted to
Mercury, the heir-apparent. The 3rd place has been given to Venus who is the
Minister of Internal Affairs. The 4th house has been given over to Mars who is
the commander-in-chief. The 5th house is the house of knowledge and
External Affairs, and has been alloted to Jupiter. To the servant Saturn, has
been alloted the 6th house.
A similar order would follow in the case of the Moon with reference to the
signs under her sway counted from Cancer (her throne - seat).
As explained above, the 6th place from the sovereign's throne, (the Sun in Leo)
has been alloted to saturn. In other words, the 6th house is the house of
government service and Saturn is the government servant.
The 6th house becomes all the more significant as it stands identical with the
9th (Bhagyastana) from the 10th (Karmastana); and also the 10th (Karmastana)
from the 9th (the Bhagyastana); again, it is the 5th from the 2nd house and the
2nd from the 5th house. Further, no less important is the position of the 11th
house, the house of gains and income, as it stands 6th from the 6th house.
Hence, in this context, the 11th house also plays an important role.
Saturn
5/20
Amongst other indications, Saturn signifies servile duty, whole sovereignty
(Uttarakalamrita V -- 47-50);further, Saturn controls longevity, livehood,
cause of death, prosperity and adversity. Besides, he represents general
masses, public responsibilities, mass contact and political diplomacy.
Saturn in the 1st house (Ascendant) identical with Libra, Sagittarius and Pisces
signs, according to Garga is capable of conferring royalty (i.e., power, authority
and prosperity) on the native.
6/20
It means that when Saturn is in the rising sign identical with Sagittarius, Pisces,
Libra, Aries, Capricorn or Aquarius, the native will be lord of men, handsome
and intelligent, and will lead a town or village.
When in the 4th (Simhasana or house of authority), he aspects the 6th, the
10th and the Ascendant. One becomes a great diplomat or high-positioned
government servant and wields immerse power and gets success in foreign
countries.
When in the 7th, where Saturn gets Digbala, he becomes very powerful and
promises a prominent high position in public life. In the 10th, normally, he
gives reversals in life and causes sudden downfall if afflicted; but when exalted
and aspected by a benefic 10th lord, he extends splendour, honour, grandeur
and reputation. He is the Karaka for the 6th house (J. P. II - 51).
Assuming lordship of the 9th and the 10th from Lagna, in the case of Taurus
Ascendant, he becomes highly auspicious. Saturn, when he bestows blessings,
has no limits and can take one very high in all areas of life.
meaning, that Saturn always gives all desirable things when in the 8th.
7/20
Mars
As regards the strength of Mars, he is also the Karaka for the 6th house, (the
house of service under the government). He has abundant strength in his
Drekanna, in the 12th, the 8th, the 11th, the 10th and the 1st signs, in
retrogression, in his navamsa and gives prosperity when he is in the 10th from
Lagna and also when he is in Cancer (J. P. II - 63). Besides, like others planets,
he is strong in his exaltation, own house, in a friendly house and Moolatrikona
Rasi and bestows immense benefits and makes one a leader. He is mighty
strong in Virgo, Gemini and Sagittarius when without the Sun. He gets strong
even in his enemy's camp. (Uttarakalamrita V - 15).
He gets auspicious in the 8th in the matter of service,as in the case of Mr.
Morarji Desai who started his career as an administrative officer with exalted
Mars in his 8th. The 8th house is the house of vocation as well; and Mars is the
Lord of 8th of the Zodiac (Kalapursha). Hence, Mars in the 8th as lord of the 8th
is very significant in service matters; from the 8th, he aspects the 11th also.
Mars enjoys Digbala in the 10th and gives prosperity. He gets exalted in the
10th sign of the Zodiac. Mars in the 10th makes one the beacon light of the
family.
8/20
Mars in the 10th house gives executive ability, capacity for leadership and
prosperity. He becomes specially strong as lord of the 9th in the 10th and
makes one a judge or magistrate.
Meaning, if Mars and Saturn be strongly placed i.e., exalted, in own or friendly
house with benefic aspect, and occupy the 2nd and the 10th houses from the
Lagna, the native will be highly praised in public and will be a great personage.
When full moon in the 9th occupies exaltation, own or friendly house; and
Mars and Saturn occupy the 2nd and the 10th, a ruler of the earth is born.
Further, Jataka Parijata (VII - 44) says :
9/20
If Saturn and Mars be in the 10th, 5th or 1st house and full Moon be in a sign
owned by Jupiter, the person born will be a king.
Jupiter
Jupiter holds supremacy over all other planets as the preceptor of the gods. He
represents the throne, treasure, royal honour, intellect, brilliancy, moving in
village, travelling in a vehicle bordered on four sides (Uttarakalamrita, V- 38-
41); legal affairs, diplomacy, power of discussion, respect and reputation,
guardianship, wisdom, minister also knowledge and dignity. Jupiter is the giver
of health, wealth and progeny. His aspect and association are said to be
extremely beneficial.
All of these qualities of Jupiter have close identity with the status and duties of
an administrative officer. He holds high supreme position in the government.
He stands strong like other planets in his own, exaltation, friendly house and
Moolatrikona Rasi.
10/20
He gets Digbala in Lagna; and thus gets strong, aspecting the 5th, 7th and the
9th with full aspect. He is auspicious in his oblique aspect (Jataka Parijata II -
31).
Jupiter in conjuction with Mars makes the native loving, revered, wealthy and
acquainted with the science of computation (Jataka Parijata VIII - 4). If the
combination happens to be in the 10th house, it makes one a judge or
magistrate.

Conclusion
Now, in order to find the common astrological factors, the status and duties
etc., of the I.A.S. officers (first stage of the investigation) on one side area, in
the first instance, to be balanced with the planetary influence and Zodiacal
indications (the second stage) on the other. The close study of the details on
both sides in the foregoing paragraphs, shows the two sides are found quite
balancing. That is to say, that the duties of the I.A.S. officers are duly contained
in and corresponding to the status, nature and the tendencies of the three
planets, Jupiter, Mars and Saturn. It is further to be seen how far the influence
of these planets is contained in their horoscopes. The details of analysis
therefore are shown in Appendix A. These details go to show that these
planets are duly placed in the horoscopes, in auspicious and benefic and
strong positions and are also simultaneously associated with and related to
the 6th or the 11th or both houses.
Needless to say, the stronger and more beneficially the planets (Jupiter, Mars
and Saturn) are placed in a horoscope, the higher would be the position of the
native concerned, even going to the level of I.A.S. officers or equivalent,
depending upon the degree of beneficence and strength of the planets.
Tenure of Service
As regards the second phase or the tenure of service, it is the stage when these
officers work in different assignments. Here, the difference in the careers of
the IAS officers begins when they are appointed as such and have come to the
actual field of service. They are then alloted different assignments that carry
work and amenities of different natures. Some of these carry facilities like
conveyance, glamour of supreme authority and power with all paraphernalia
and insignia of royalty; whereas in other cases, such as secretariat assignments
or, the like, they carry compartively few amenities and little splendour.
14/20
IPS Officers
Now as regards the IPS officers, they are also likewise administrative officers in
the public administration, governed by the same system of recruitment as IAS
officers. They are similarly responsible for law and order and well being of the
people in general. So naturally, the same planetary combination of Jupiter,
Mars and Saturn associated or related with the 6th and/or the 11th house of
the Zodiac, as in the case of IAS officers, would apply to them. The only
distinguishing point between the two classes of officers is that Jupiter in the
case of IPS officers will be a bit weaker compared to IAS officers.

As regards judicials officers, they too are recruited to the job through
competitive examinations like administrative officers. They are also officers
under the government, with status and authority, and they are empowered to
punish the evil-doers. By exercise of law in the public interest, by way of their
jufgements (of law), they create a sense of law in the public to make then law-
abiding and also on the other hand, providing a sense of security under law to
the public in general.
The distinguishing point in this case in that their place and system of work in
the performance of their duties differ from those of the administrative officers.
They have not to work practically in the field but they exercise law in their
office or court rooms by pronouncing the judgement of law. In fact, they put
the law of the country into action. It is very well said that law is a silent judge,
whereas a judge is a speaking law.

This specific aspect require further probe into the nature etc., of the planets to
locate the particular planetary influence concurring with it.

In this context, excluding Saturn, Mars and Jupiter, we should look at Venus out
of the remaining four planets, namely, Venus, Mercury, the Sun and the Moon.
Venus is the minister (counsellor for internal affairs i.e., matters inside house),
rules the kingdom or government authority, literacy composition, government
seal (Uttarakalamrita, IV - 42 1/2 - 45) and furnished rooms. On the other
hand, the judicial officers administer justice having authority vested in them by
the government, through judgement of law (i.e., legal literacy compositions) in
their well furnished judgement halls. Thus, very obviously the distinguishing
features of their working system and place fall in with the qualities and
tendencies of Venus.
Venus is auspicious in his exaltation sign, in his varga in the 3rd, the 4th, the
6th and the 12th houses from the Lagna, in conjuction with the Moon; in
retrograde motion and when he is in advance of the Sun (Vide, Jataka Parijata
II - 66). Venus in the 12th will prove auspicious except when he is in the Rasi or
Navamsa owned by Saturn. Venus as well as Jupiter become fully favorable,
when in the house of a benefic and in conjuction with the lord of the same.
Venus will do good when in the 6th house (Uttara Kalamrita IV - 9) and does
not lose strength even when eclipsed. He has Digbala in the 4th. When Venus
in strong occupying the 11th or the 12th, a king's peer takes birth (J.P. VII - 10).
When Venus occupies the Lagna in Aswini Nakshatra and is aspected by all
other planets, the person will be senior in the family destined to destroy the
whole host of enemies (J.P. VII - 6).
In the Appendix A, B and C have been detailed the positions of the planets
(Jupiter, Mars Saturn in case administrative officers, IAS and IPS and also Venus
in the case of judicial officers) forming the common factors for a common
career.
