India is facing an economic slowdown post demonetization (November 2016) and GST (July 2017) which were poorly implemented resulting in lots of job losses in both formal and informal sector of our economy. Globally Europe and China are suffering from slowdown for various reasons. The USA-China trade wars and Iran-Saudi Arabia military tensions can also bring a major recession is what economists are anticipating now. Astrologically the situation of economic slowdown may get worst with the entry of Jupiter into Sagittarius on the 5th of November 2019 and later after the solar eclipse of 26th of December in the same sign the problem will start getting worst. I had indicated about this in my article “ Global Economic Trends 2019” published in the January 2019 issue of this magazine at page number 50. It has been observed that the transit of Saturn from fiery sign Aries, Leo and Sagittarius bring slowdown in economy. If Saturn transiting from fiery sign comes into an opposition with Jupiter or in conjunction with it then the situation of global recession can occur like it had happen in case of 1929, 1982, 1991 and 2009 economic crisis. These major economic crisis had come around the opposition or conjunction of Saturn-Jupiter.
{Note: This article of mine was published in the January 2020 issue of Express Star Teller Magazine. The same has been reproduce here for the readers of my blog}
The conjunction or opposition of Saturn and Jupiter bring major changes in global economy and also big wars is a cardinal principal of mundane astrology discuss in the text like Bhavishya Phala Bhaskar and Mayur Chitram. The logical interpretation of this could be the ‘Karaka Tattwa’ or signification of these two major planets. Saturn signifies masses or people in general and Jupiter hold its signification over wisdom and wealth. The conjunction or opposition of Saturn and Jupiter bring collective changes in the thought process of people at large which bring major economic and political upheavals which are historic but painful in nature.
Now this great conjunction of Saturn-Jupiter taking place in Sagittarius and then in Capricorn sign is going to bring a major economic and food price crisis around the world in year 2020. This will happen because of wars disturbing countries like India, Pakistan, China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Israel and USA at various fronts. The effect of it will remain for about 2 years and an economic revival is only possible when Jupiter moves into Pisces which is the sign of expansion. This will happen in 2022 only and until then there is a danger that millions of people around the world will lose their jobs and there will be bad effects on many businesses. However, the growth in renewable energy, new age technology, ecommerce and organic farming will be the brighter areas post 2020.
Now I will discuss some of my findings about astrological combination giving a sudden crisis in career which are applicable in natal horoscopes.
- In the horoscope having conjunction of 10th lord with 8th house lord or 12th house lord there is a danger of job loss during the dasha of ‘Dusthana’ lords (6th, 8th and 12th lords).
- The conjunction or opposition of 5th lord and 8th lord in a horoscope can also give a sudden job loss during an adverse dasha periods. The 5th house is 8th house from the 10th house of career so it can also give a job loss or crisis in career.
- The enigmatic dashas of Jupiter-Venus or Venus-Jupiter, Rahu-Venus or Venus-Rahu, Mercury-Ketu or Ketu-Mercury and Saturn-Rahu or Rahu-Saturn can bring a crisis in career if these dasha lords are in 6/8 or 2/12 position from each other.
- A solar or lunar eclipse falling over the Janma lagna, natal Sun and/or natal Moon can bring crisis in career of a highly placed professional if he is undergoing a dasha of natural malefic planets or ‘Dusthana’ lords.
- In case of Jamini Chara dasha the dasha of Atamakaraka can bring a sudden fall in career. The Amatayakaraka falling in the 6th, 8th or 12th house from Rashi dasha can also give a big crisis in career.
Let’s discuss few cases to understand these principals discuss above.
Case 1. Male (An IT Professional Working in Singapore)
6 May 1975, 15:55 hours
Longitude: 77 E 13’ and Latitude: 28 N 40’
Balance of Dasha in Vimshottari: Jupiter 7 years 11 months 14 days
This Virgo lagna horoscope is of a highly placed IT professional who went to Singapore after July 2008 when he was running under Mercury-Sun dasha in Vimshottari in his horoscope. Since then he was working in the same company until this September when his employers informed him that their organization has become insolvent due to losses. The global economic slowdown is hitting the software industry very badly as we all know. He lost his job during his Ketu-Ketu dasha in Vimshottari (from 19 April 2019 to 16 September 2019). Ketu is well placed in the 9th house of luck and is with 10th lord Mercury but the aspect of 8th lord Mars has spoil this yoga. In Navamsha Ketu falls in the 12th house of losses. The next dasha is of Ketu-Venus which are in 2/12 axis but the good position of Venus in Rashi and Navamsha gives hopes of getting a job quickly.
In Chara dasha he was under Pisces-Pisces period from May 2019 to May 2020. The Atamakaraka Moon and Amatayakaraka Mars falling in the 12th house from Pisces brought this loss of job for him.
Case 2. Male (Lost job in Dubai)

This Tula lagna horoscope is of a young man who worked in abroad in various companies. He lost his job recently in July 2019 when he was under an enigmatic Venus-Saturn (July 2018 to September 2021) period in Vimshottari. He worked in the managerial position in Nairobi and Dubai. He wanted to permanently settle in Turkey but did not have any opportunity after he lost his job in July 2019 due to an economic crisis faced by his company. See the mutual position of Venus and Saturn in his Rashi chart. They are at 2/12 position in Rashi though in Navamsha they are in trine. But notice here Venus is the lord of 8th house and Saturn is 5th lord. The dashas of 5th and 8th houses lords can also give job losses which I have discuss above.
It was Venus-Saturn-Ketu when he lost his job when a lunar eclipse had fallen on his natal Sun in Sagittarius on the 16th/ 17th of July this year. The Chara dasha was of Aries which has Amatayakaraka Moon falling in the 8th house from it.

This Vargottama Tula (Libra) lagna horoscope is of a person who worked in a multinational pharmaceutical company for 33 years and had lost his job recently due to his company facing business losses because of Indian government’s policy of promoting generic medicines. Modi government is selling cheap generic medicines through ‘Pradhan Mantri Jan Aushadhi Yojana’ stores which has helped millions of poor. It brought down the sale of branded medicines which resulted in losses for the company in which this native was working since 1986. In this Tula lagna horoscope the Saturn and Mercury in mutual aspect are making great Raja Yoga. His job went wonderfully well during the dashas of Saturn and Mercury. He rose to the position of regional manager from a medical representative when he joined in 1986.
His troubles started from Venus maha dasha which started in June 2018. Venus is the lagan and 8th lord placed in the 8th house. Venus is not involve in any Raja Yoga. In Navamsha it is debilitated in the 12th house. Venus placed in the 8th house in Rashi and in 12th in Navamsha has to give him a job loss in the condition of current economic slowdown. The Chara dasha was of Gemini-Libra when he lost his job. The Atamakaraka is in the 12th house from Gemini and it is in the 8th house from Libra which is bad.

This Scorpio lagna horoscope given here is of a science teacher who was working at a good post in a private collage providing coaching to the engineering aspirants. But after demonetization many of these private coaching institutes in India suffered losses and he has to lose his job. It was his Mercury-Mars dasha in Vimshottari (June 2016 to June 2017) when he lost his job in the mid of 2017. Later he joined another job on lesser salary and lost that one also in the mid of this year during his Mercury-Rahu dasha. See the lordship of Mercury it is 8th and 11th lord from the lagna. He has this conjunction of 8th lord and 10th lord in his horoscope. The 8th lord Mercury and 10th lord Sun are conjoined making him prone to losing jobs during tough dashas. Also see his Navamsha chart where Mercury is in the 6th house of struggle and anter dasha lord Rahu get the bad aspect of 8th lord Venus. He has to face a condition of crisis in career of teaching during his Mercury-Rahu dasha at times when coaching institutes in India are facing tough situation. In Chara dasha he is running under the period of Aquarius (July 2017 to July 2020) which has his Atamakaraka Jupiter. The Amatayakaraka Venus gives Jaimini aspect to the 12th house from Venus.
Case 5. Male (A high ranking IT manager lost job)
23 November 1968, 14:30 hours

This Pisces lagna horoscope is of a high ranking IT manager who worked abroad from 2006 to 2016 in his Rahu maha dasha. Notice here Rahu is with 11th and 12th lord Saturn getting the benefic aspects of 10th and lagna lord Jupiter. Mars the 9th lord also aspects Rahu which gave him an excellent career in IT field. Later he came back to India to work for his company and since early 2019 he is struggling. He has not got his salary since last 9 months and recently his company owner became insolvent and asked him to leave the job without paying his dues. It is his Jupiter-Jupiter (October 2018 to December 2020) dasha in Vimshottari now.
Jupiter is in its enemy sign Virgo is weak as it is involve with so many hard malefic planets Ketu, Mars and a retrograde Saturn which is not helpful. This native is also facing the enigmatic transit of Saturn over his Janma Nakshtra which is Poorva Ashadha in Dhanu Rashi. A lunar eclipse has fallen on his natal Moon in Sagittarius on the 16/17Th of July this year which compounded his troubles. In his horoscope the 8th lord Venus is in the 10th house of career. In Navamsha Jupiter the dasha lord is in 6th house and get the aspect of Venus which is the lord of 8th house. So the involvement of ‘Dusthana’ lords and the bad transit has to give trouble in his career.
