Case Studies - New Business

The strong and well placed lords of the first, tenth and third houses and the planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Saturn and those placed in the third house, during the course of their operational periods give entrepreneurial inclinations to the native.

The influence of a strong lord of the third house on the third, first, second, tenth and eleventh houses impels the native to go in for business for greater earnings during the course of its operational periods.

A strong Sun adds to the organizational capabilities and enhances the results and success.

The strong and unafflicted position of Jupiter and the lord of the ninth house if containing a mooltrikona sign contribute to the element of luck blessing the native with easy success.

While handling the questions as to whether one should venture into a business or not, the astrologer should particularly consider the influence of the planets governing losses on the fourth house, second house, tenth house, eleventh house or their lords.

It is also necessary that the lord of the second house, tenth house and the fourth house and the planets the Sun and the Moon are not under the close influence of Rahu which results in sudden sufferings or losses or loss of reputation and causes problems with the state agencies.
