Astrology and Education

Education is a manifestation of divine perfection which is already existing in you.

One’s educational achievements can be predicted by analysing the 1,2,3,4,5 and 9th houses and its lords. Usually the second house is referred as the house for education, which can give details regarding one’s education. The second house alone cannot totally give a measure for one’s education.

In general the lord of the first house/ascendant should be placed in Kendras (1,4,7,10th houses), Trikonas (1,5,9th houses), second or in the eleventh house. If the lord of the first house if posited in the 6, 8, 12th houses from the ascendant or the lord of the first house if debilitated the native suffers alot. Hence it is necessary to know the dignity of the lord of the first house.

The second house tells about the possibility of education, fourth house is the second house for the second house, hence that house should also be analysed. When we are considering the education the child should be appreciated and cared by the mother for its better education. Because for the child mother is the first school, after the mother shows the father to the child, the child comes to who is the father.

Then the father takes him to the teacher. So, the fourth house should be sound for anybody’s education. Most of the readers are very well aware of the second and the fourth houses, due to that it is not necessary to mention much about those two houses. The fifth house can tell about whether the native can get some awards like B.A, B.Sc, etc. Fifth house is responsible for knowledge, memory, wisdom about music, concentration, luck etc. The ninth house is about the philosophical education that is mainly the higher education like Philosophy, Science, Literature, imagination, analytical power, and the higher degrees such has M.Sc, M.B.B.S, PhD etc.

In the astrological sense the lords of the 5th and the 9th house are insane even if they are malefic. The meaning is the lords of fifth and ninth house will not lend any bad effects for the native even if they are malefic in nature. Either the conjunction or the parivarthana (parivarthana refers the lord of the respective house exchange their houses, e.g., moon in Leo and Sun in Cancer refers parivarthana of Sun and Moon) of the 5th and 9th house lords is referred as Saarvabouma Yoga, due to this yoga the native will have extremely best education, their knowledge will be recognised very well and appreciated via medal, honour etc. The placement of benefic planets at the fifth house is very luckier for the native, that too if the lord of the 9th house if posited in the 5th house the native will definitely have familiarity, wealth, higher education, writing and articulation capabilities. If the lord of the fifth house if occupies Kendra position to the moon then the native will be almost live like a king. The conjunction of the lords of the 5th and 9th houses will give extremely the best education to the native and after the completion of his education he/she will be familiar, luckier. Hence it is necessary to weigh the 5th and 9th houses also when analysing one’s educative capabilities.

The educational achievements cannot be guaranteed if anybody’s horoscope has any of the following patterns.

1. Debility of 2,4,5th house lords.

2. Placement of 2, 4, 5th houses in between two malefic planets.

3. Placement of 2,4,5th house lords in between two malefic planets.

4. If the second house is placed with malefic planets like the placement of Saturn or Ragu or both together.

5. If Mercury is placed either in Aries or in Scorpio.

6. If Mercury is debilitated.

7. If Mercury is aspected by Mars, i.e., if mercury is placed with the sight of mars.

8. If Jupiter is debilitated.

9. If Sun is debilitated.

10. If the first house/ascendant or Rasi (Moon) is not aspected by any planets.

Amavasya yoga: If anybody gets birth on a new moon day, this yoga arises. This is due to the conjunction of Sun and Moon.

Usually these people are found in export and import business and also in politics. They become popular either at Chandra or in Jupiter dasa. While considering one’s education the Jupiter and Mercury alone should not be considered almost every planet is responsible for the education as given below.

Sun: The sun is refereed as Asthma Karagan, in education administration, medicine, language abilities are his domain. If Sun is posited well in one’s horoscope such a person will be usually intelligent. Moon: The Mathurkaraga, Chandrabhagwan focusses his attention on art, literature, medicine, poetry, imagination etc. Mars: Bhoomikaragan, Mars takes care of architecture, mantras, constructions, chemistry, military equipment reassignments and the way of utilizing it.

It is to be noted that the every person to go very high in the education the dasa of the 1,2,4,5 and 9th house lords should come at the right age. Temporary break in education occurs when the dasa or the transit is bad. Like when the Saturn comes around 12th, 1st and 2nd house to the moon (Seven and half), when he reaches 8th house to the moon (astama sani), when he reaches 4th house to the moon (astama sani) etc and during Sani and Ragu dasa in general. But the education gets continued later when the dasa of the 2nd and 4th lord occurs. Usually during the dasa period of the 5th and 9th house lord the students can get the advantage of even going abroad for studies with scholarship/ stipend. The lords of the above said house are determining the educational achievements of the native. If the lords of the first and second house are in parivarthana or placed in conjunction at the first house, it is termed as Andhiya Vayasu Dhana Yoga, they struggle in the first part of life and then the later part is beneficial to them.
