The Moon as amatyakaraka

The Moon as amatyakaraka leads to work with people and their everyday needs: care, food, service, dealing with the public. The professional path is flexible and may change more than once as circumstances change.

Work that feeds and comforts

The Moon is the significator of the mind, the mother, the public and everything that grows and changes. As amatyakaraka it gives a talent for sensing what people need right now. Suitable fields are medicine and nursing, psychology, teaching, the hotel trade, catering, trade in everyday goods, work with water and anything where clients’ trust matters.

Helpers are often women, the mother or people with whom there is an emotional bond. Mood strongly affects working capacity, so a supportive atmosphere in the team is especially important for such people.

The state of the Moon

A waxing Moon in Taurus or Cancer gives popularity and the ability to keep clients. A waning one, especially in Scorpio, makes the career less predictable: periods of rise alternate with declines, and it is important for the person not to make decisions on a wave of emotion. A conjunction with Jupiter is considered fortunate for work; one with Rahu draws towards mass-market and network projects.

What to look at next
