Hi! I hope you are doing well 💫

My intials: B.P. (she/her)

DOB: 15 March 2003

3:20 Pm IST, Gurgaon, Haryana, India

I would like to know about my career.

Thank you so much 🫶

Hi🤗 For your reading I am going to use vedic astrology.

WRITING CAREER + PROFESSIONAL LIFE

For the first question if writing is a good career options for you, YES.

I found this tecnique where 10th house sign from the 1st lord in D1 or D9 chart indicates someone's career, in your case falls in aries in D1 chart and gemini in D9 chart.

Career Fields:

D1 Aries so anything related to leadership, sports and fitness/athletics, politics, boss, entrepreneur, healthcare, adventure, engineering, sales, marketing, firefighter, military, law enforcement, research and development, creative arts, etc

D9 Gemini so anything related to education, technology, public relations, communication, media, public speaker, marketing, advertising, travel and tourism, arts, creativity, writer, research, entrepreneur, admnistration, entrepreneur, journalism, consulting, etc.

Furthermore in D1 chart you have 10th lord mars in sagittarius mula in 6th house indicating that your career can be connected to writing and publishing due to mula sagittarius (education/teaching/research/law/philosophy/healing/others); can involve service, routine, organization, discipline and solving conflicts/helping others (6th house), perhaps you heal your readers with your writing, your books can inspire other people, transform their lives (mula); you might experience a lot of obstacles and competition in your career with other writers or issues with your editor for example ( mars 6th house) and go through intense transformative periods (mula) though don't worry you are very determined and hardworking, you will be able to overcome these obstacles and grow even stronger.

If we want to see about financial gains and stability we would need to look at your 2nd lord in D1 you have sun in pisces in 9th house this indicates that you might earn more money in a foreign land (working abroad or with foreigners) or higher education is really important like studying creative writing or liberal arts or philosophy in college can help you succeed and gain recognition in your writing career (pisces is connected to creativity). Since it's aspecting your mars  10th lord it's important that your career allows you to shine individually and work as a leader (you might have issues with your boss/authority figures/teacher so working independently or leading a team is a better option). You must also be careful with high expectations vs reality and idealism vs practicality, how to work creatively in a disciplined way, etc.

Additionally 2nd lord sun is aspecting scorpio ketu in 5th house by 9th aspect indicating possible obstacles related to creativity, hobbies, education, might make you detached from past beliefs related to these themes focusing  on new, inovative or unconventional ways to earn money through learning or higher education for example; you will notice that you earn more money after a transformative (spiritual/intense) period in your life.

2nd lord sun is actually aspecting 6th lord cancer jupiter in 1st house by 5th house which confirms financial growth through service oriented careers, healing, higher education, travelling and expanding the way you see the world (beliefs/philosophies/spirituality), etc.

Since 6th lord jupiter is in cancer conjunct moon, it's essential that your work environment allows you freedom (flexible hours for example), to express yourself, your emotions/feelings; a comfortable/nurturing, positive, open environment (family or mother/female figure could be relevant -> support you) can make you grow; tapping into your emotions (intuition/creativity) to write your books; future spouse could also be working with you or helping you (jupiter is significator of spouse); etc.

Jupiter is aspecting your capricorn venus in 7th house by 7th aspect indicating that your future spouse and relationships/partnerships have a strong influence on your emotional stability at work; you might have a business with them or contract relationships; they might contribute to your sucess; harmony and balance between career and relationships is key👌

Not just that jupiter is aspecting your aquarius mercury(3rd lord ->skills) in 8th house indicating that you might write about deep/unconventional/futuristic/fantasy/occult topics, influencing other people ->healing them; experience transformation in your environment; working with investors,  sharing resources with your spouse or business partners; work in secret maybe you could be an anonymous author; etc.

Lastly jupiter is aspecting taurus saturn + rahu in 11th house by 11th aspect that shows teamwork, working online, media, social connections, professional networking (large companies), innovation are relevant. With saturn energy this can cause delays/obstacles in making connections, with your coworkers, gaining financial stability and fame/success, etc. (you might have to put a lot of effort and be patient; after you saturn return you will see that all your hardwork paid off👀)

The rahu energy can cause chaos, confusion, fluctuations related to your financial gains, professional networks and work environment.

In D10 chart you have gemini 10th house another huge confirmation that your career is related to communication, writing, knowledge,etc.

10th lord mercury is in chitra libra in 2nd house conjunct chitra ketu and swati saturn(6th lord) meaning that you will earn money through creative, innovative, online, media, unconventional, independent, flexible, service oriented (routine), healing, disciplined/practical career fields during a transformative period in your life. It's confirming everything I've said above. Money and sucess in your career can be achieved later in life.

Moreover 10th lord is aspecting 2nd lord aries aswhini venus conjunct Mars and rahu in 8th house by 7th aspect reaffirming transformation, healing, spirituality themes and that money and sucess might come after a transformative period or attaining personal growth.

JOB TIMING

Regarding when you will get a job:

D1 CHART

In D1 chart you have taurus jupiter transiting your 11th house saturn (6th lord) and rahu so there is already a good sign for this year till may 2025 (jupiter brings abundance and luck in professional networking, large companies, fame, etc).

Rahu/ketu pisces/virgo transit is affecting your 2nd lord sun in pisces 9th house bringing you new unconventional ways of earning money, maybe you will travel, work with foreigners, study creative arts; you might also be more recognized/confident in your work environment. ( Be careful with overindulgence, ego, chaos, high expectations vs practicality, illusion vs reality).

NOTE1: Sun is your Darakaraka só you might be meeting your future spouse this year👀👀👀 or if you are already in a relationship 💍.

Aquarius saturn transit is influencing your mercury in 8th house, so you might have been experiencing some challenges/delays perhaps writing blocks, lack of inspiration, issues with your business partners or investors, anxiety/depression, fears of expressing yourself, transformative period, etc.

D7 CHART

In D7 chart you have aquarius saturn transit in your 10th house with mars this can indicate challenges/delays in your career, power struggles with authority figures, business partners, achieving your goals, etc ( Be patient and don't give up🙏)

Taurus jupiter transit is influencing your 10th lord saturn with moon in 1st house so this actually eases the saturn transit in 10th house bringing optimism, abundance and success in your career. So even though you might have delays/obstacles you will be able to overcome it with motivation, positivity, wisdom, discipline and emotional support (perhaps your family/mother figure can help you).

Rahu/ketu pisces/virgo transit is affecting your 11th/5th house (ketu transit is conjunct virgo sun in 5th house) so you might be rethinking about romantic relationships and friendships, personal goals vs social endeavours, new social networks and aspirations/dreams, individuality vs union/teamwork, engaging in spiritual/unconventional activities/hobbies -> inspiration in your writing, changing yourself (transformation on personal expression), etc.

NOTE2: When jupiter, saturn, rahu/ketu are transiting in the same or opposite sign of sun, saturn, rahu/ketu in D7 chart it indicates a major event might happen during this time of your life like meeting your future spouse or a partner, engagement, pregnancy, career,success,fame, breakup, divorce, moving out, etc.(This technique is by Camila Regina from tiktok).  

DASHAS/TIME PERIODS/TRANSITS

You are currently running venus-venus-mars dasha (10th lord mars in D1 chart) till 4 september this year. I am leaning towards pisces eclipse in september (affecting your 2nd lord sun in 9th house that is aspecting your 10th lord) you might get a job offer abroad or work with foreigners (foreign company), etc.

Next year 2025 you also have good chances since rahu will be in aquarius after 19 may transiting your mercury in 8th house D1 chart (you will express yourself more, be inspired, etc),  your 10th house in D7 chart bringing opportunities and sucess in your career, your 6th house in D10 chart changing your work environment, daily routine, health, etc; jupiter will be transiting in gemini in may aspecting your 10th lord sagittarius mars in D1 bringing growth and opportunities related to communication/writing fields and affecting your 10th house in D10 chart bringing abundance in your career;  in october you will have your jupiter return in cancer affecting your 6th lord in D1 chart, 11th house (jupiter) in your D10 chart (fame/recognition/luck), among other factors; etc.

If we want to be more specific/accurate there is a technique I am trying out by KRS Kapiel that when the saturn is trine/conjunct transiting your natal moon/saturn you might get a job. You have natal (D1 chart) taurus saturn and cancer moon. So when moon is transiting virgo, taurus and capricorn or saturn transiting in scorpio, cancer, pisces, virgo, capricorn and taurus.

Moon is transiting capricorn 17 august till 19 august (full moon👀 and moon will aspecting your cancer jupiter 6th lord and 7th house venus  -> work/health/contract/love/relationships/business).

Saturn is a slower planet so the next transit will be in pisces next year 2025 in 20 march.

You can check this link to see the moon + saturn transits: https://horoscopes.astro-seek.com/calculate-sidereal-vedic-ephemeris-august-2024/?&aya=lahiri&&presnost=1&

NOTE3: If you notice your sagittarius mars 10th lord and your 2nd lord pisces are both ruled by jupiter (sign ruled) which is in cancer -> cancer/capricorn transits are fundamental.🫰

NOTE4: Accordingly to D1/D7/D10 charts (this technique is from Camila Regina tiktok) you might have sucess or fame when saturn, rahu/ketu are transiting the signs of aries/libra/taurus/scorpio.

Okay I think I am done😅 I hope you like this reading if you do leave feedback on my page🙏 And let me know if it resonates👌it helps improving my readings🫶💜

Haryana Parties Rally Behind Vinesh Phogat After Paris Olympics Disappointment

Introduction

As the Haryana state elections approach, political parties are rallying in support of wrestler Vinesh Phogat, who faced a significant setback after being disqualified from the final bout at the Paris Olympics. The state is set to go to polls within a few months, and leaders are keen to align themselves with the popular athlete.

Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini’s Support

On Thursday, Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini of the BJP announced that Vinesh Phogat would be honored at par with a bronze medalist, despite her disqualification. “Haryana’s courageous daughter Vinesh Phogat gave a brilliant performance in the Olympics and reached the finals. She might not have been able to contest the final match, but she is a champion for all of us. Our government will honor and welcome her the same as we do for a medallist,” Saini declared on X (formerly Twitter).

Under the government’s sports policy, Olympic gold medalists receive Rs 6 crore, silver medalists get Rs 4 crore, and bronze medal winners are awarded Rs 2.5 crore. Saini’s decision ensures Phogat will receive the same recognition and benefits as a bronze medal winner.

Opposition’s Take

Leader of the Opposition and former CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda of the Congress party suggested that Phogat should be honored at par with a gold medalist. Hooda also mentioned that if he had sufficient numbers in the Assembly, he would have nominated Phogat for the Rajya Sabha. Currently, the BJP holds a majority in the Assembly, making it likely that their candidate will win the upcoming Rajya Sabha seat election.

AAP’s Early Outreach

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, representing the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), was the first political leader to visit Phogat’s village in Charkhi Dadri after her disqualification. Mann criticized the BJP, suggesting a conspiracy behind Phogat’s disqualification and called for intervention from Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Congress and Wrestler Protests

The Congress party has been vocal about supporting the wrestlers' protests against former wrestling federation chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh of the BJP. Vinesh Phogat was a prominent figure in these protests, and Congress leaders have stood with the wrestlers. Recently, the Congress inducted a former woman coach who accused ex-sports minister Sandeep Singh of sexual harassment, further showcasing their stance on supporting athletes and women’s rights.

Conclusion

As the Haryana elections draw near, political parties are leveraging their support for Vinesh Phogat to resonate with the electorate. The widespread backing for Phogat reflects her influence and the broader political strategies at play in the state.

He completed his schooling in his town and graduated from Chandigarh and as of 2021, he was pursuing a Bachelor of Arts from Punjab. 

Chopra’s family was concerned about his weight when he was a teenager and urged him to start going to the gym in Panipat daily. Chopra would sit at the adjacent Shivaji Stadium to watch boys of his age practice javelin throwing after a session.

Despite the lack of knowledge about javelin in their village, Chopra’s family supported him when they heard about his enthusiasm for the sport. He trained at Shivaji Stadium for a year before moving to the Tau Devi Lal Sports Complex in Panchkula, Haryana, where Naseem Ahmad coached him.
