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). |
|
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. |
|
Further in
consideration of the status of the planets amongst themselves, Jupiter (minister for
sovereign), Mars (commander-in-chief i.e., possessing executive powers) and Saturn
(servant of the sovereign), represent fitness for the administrative job. Accordingly, for
the purpose of investigation, we proceed ahead to evaluate these three planets with
reference to their natural, residential, functional and other properties. |
|
Saturn |
|
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. |
|
Ordinarily, as a
general dictum of astrology, any planets in his own, exaltation, friendly house or
Moolatrikona Rasi or Varga and Amsa, will promote the happiness of the person concerned. (Uttarakalamrita,
IV -- 13). Besides, Saturn is predominant in his own Drekana, especially, when in
Upachayas (3,6,10,11) and also in all the signs when retrograde (Jataka Parijata
II -- 67). Again, in case Saturn acquires beneficience by temporal position, its
aspects are productive of good. |
|
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. |
|
Saturn in the 1st
is capable of conferring authority and power. |
|
|
|
It is apparently so
because Saturn in the Ascendant aspects the 7th (house of diplomacy) and the 10th (the
house of livelihood, respect and dignity). And, he also aspects the 8th, the house of
vocation. He sends exceedingly powerful rays in his 3rd and 10th aspect , his quarter
glance (J.P. II - 31). Again, in the case of Pisces Ascendant, he is the lord of the 11th
(Capricorn), in which sign he indicates honours, authority, position and financial gains.
An almost parallel view is also expressed in Jataka Parijata (VII - 57) |
|
|
|
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. |
|
Mars |
|
As regards Mars, he
is called 'Vakra' (crooked) also, meaning diplomat. He also represents kingship, royal
aspect, authority and power to punish, magistrate, criminal cases, energy, courage, tact,
action, executive capacity, service under a king, commander, land, lord of men and
mounting a vehicle. He also indicates treasure and litigation. |
|
What an
administrative officer needs in the performance of his duties is, mainly the executive
capacity, tact and diplomacy, timely and effective action and determination to assert
authority , to take wrong-doers to task for maintenance of law and order and to secure the
welfare of the people by exercising magisterial powers vested in him. These are the
qualities of Mars. He is, thus, the strong indicator for executive service under the
government. Like Saturn, the magnitude of his strength will have its say in raising the
position of the native high. |
|
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. |
|
|
|
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. |
|
In association with
Saturn, he gives brilliant results. According to Kalamrita (IV - 8), |
|
|
|
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. |
According to Jataka
Parijata (VII - 9) : |
|
|
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 : |
|
|
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. |
|
He assumes power in
Pisces, Sagittarius, Cancer, Aquarius and also in his debilitation sign. He is auspicious
in the rising sign, in the 4th as well as th 10th from Lagna and gives much wealth. |
|
|
|
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's aspect
over any planet as a natural benefic is of weighty importance apart from the fact that he
may be temporarily ill-placed. The opposition aspect with the Moon is extremely good. |
|
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. |
|
In relationship
with Saturn, both being philosophical planets, Jupiter tends to give philosophical views
or an ability for impartial assessment of things. Thus, Jupiter in strength and
especially, having to do anything with the 6th or the 11th, promises strong indications
for an administrative job under the government. |

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. |
|
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. |

High
Judicial 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. |
