Education and Vedic Astrology (Jyotisha)

Yogas indicating success in education

In this webcast, we will talk about various Yogas which indicate success in education. We will also discuss the role of planets according to astrology in choosing the appropriate field for studies or career.

Role of 2nd house in the success of education

2nd house plays an important role in the analysis of the success of education. It indicates getting a good education in childhood. A well-placed lord of second house indicates good education gained at the primary level.

If lord of this house is aspected by the benefic planets, it shows that the native will have a good grasping power in his or her early age. The placement of Mercury or Sun in 2nd house indicates an attractive voice and fluency in communication.

Conjunction of Mercury, Venus and the Sun in the 2nd house indicates gaining knowledge of Vedas and other scriptures. But, this kind of knowledge is not suitable for materialistic gains and hence is best suited for the welfare of others.

The presence of malefic planets such as Mars, Rahu or Saturn in 2nd house indicates a harsh tongue, rude voice and lack of interest in education.

Role of 4th house in the success of education

4th house is the house of sensitive and emotional assets. Hence, the education related to this house is related to emotional or sensitive fields.

Presence of Satvik planets like Sun, moon and Jupiter indicates getting education related to a social, spiritual or philosophical field.

Presence of Rajsi planets like Mercury and Venus indicates education related to a political field. Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru had Venus and Mercury in the 4th house which made him a great scholar of politics.

Presence of Sun with Mercury indicates that the person may achieve great heights in mathematics or astrology.

Jupiter supports legal education. Hence if it is placed in an exalted state or is present in own house, it indicates getting a high legal education.

Role of 5th house in the success of education

5th house is the most auspicious house in a Janma Kundali. This house indicates that the person will get education according to his wisdom.

The career of a person is decided on the basis of the placement of planets in the 5th house. 5th house represents intelligence, logic and decision making ability.

A strong 5th house gives a person an ability to take right decision at right time.

The Sun and Rahu in the 5th house indicate technical, scientific and medical education.

Other factors affecting success in education

A planet present in the 10th house directly aspects the 4th house and hence it affects the emotional strength of the person. Presence of Sun, Mars and Rahu in the 10th house indicate getting education related to political science and technology. The Sun, Moon and Saturn in the 10th house indicate spiritual writings. While, the presence of Jupiter and Mercury indicate getting education related to business and commerce. Moon and Venus in the 10th house indicate indulgence in an aesthetic profession.

The planets in the 11th house also aspect the 5th house directly making a strong impact on the selection of the field of education. The presence of malefic planets in the 11th house indicates hurdles in getting education. While, the presence of benefic planets in the 11th house represents getting a good education in any field.
