DEDICATION
To Shri K.N. Rao,
who ignited in me the light of Jyotia.
Jyotia is the art of seeing light, of guiding, of counseling based on the truth called the horoscope. Jyotia is the pathway to God through the mazes of intuitions and the brilliance of an organized science, like any other science. Jyotia is the fusion of the divine with the mundane, the metaphysical with the scientific methodology, a divine chorus of the music of the heavens and the dance of the stars. It is that divine ballet, Jyotia, which is at once both divinity and science that we are presenting.

INTRODUCTION
This ninth edition of my collected articles once again features an eclectic group of researches on a wide range of topics. In Nothing Ventured,Nothing Gained I explore those factors that incline a person towards entrepreneurship and self-employment, while Heart of Champions identifies those that make a person a world-class athlete.
As a consulting astrologer I have often been asked by clients, especially from India, whether their charts indicate the destiny of moving to a foreign country such as the U.S. or Canada. In Predicting SettlementAbroad, I take up this question and demonstrate how it can be answered astrologically.
A gentleman from India wrote to me once and asked if being a Bollywood movie director was in his stars. Lights, Camera, Action! was my answer, an article in which I compare his chart to those of many successful movie directors of both Hollywood and Bollywood.
Rising Political Star is not a research article but rather an astro-profile of two Democratic hopefuls for the upcoming 2020 U.S Presidential Election, Kamala Harris and Joe Biden. In this article I share a Jaimini combination that was a research of my teacher, K.N. Rao, that has a special significance in the charts of politicians.
Enjoy!

Another Frequent Question
Back in the days when I was consulting full time, a frequent question that came up in consultations, especially from men in India, was whether they could do business. By this they meant could they be in business for themselves versus in the service of others as an employee. Such a question begs the further one of what astrological factors in a birth chart indicate the potential for being a successful entrepreneur. Since at that time I had not really researched this myself, I relied on the researches of others for predictive parameters. Colonel A.K. Gour, a senior faculty member at K.N. Raos school in Delhi, published the second edition of his book Astrologyof Professions in 2007 in which he has a chapter entitled Self-Employment or Service. There he gives seven principles for determining service versus self-employment. I am directly quoting these in total here along with his commentary out of an awareness that these came directly from K.N. Rao and his researches on this topic.
Begin Quote:
Seven Principles
Number of planets between 7th to 12th houses and/or 10th to 3rd houses.
Concentration of planets around the ascendant or the 10th house strengthens them because it is a well-established principle that planets three houses away on either side adjacent to it are tatkalik mitra (temporary friends) and render considerable strength. Concentration of planets in 7th to 12th or 10th to 3rd houses strengthen the 10th house and Lagna respectively. This is the first pointer towards self-confidence for an individual who would like to follow an independent path rather than a conventional beaten track. Therefore, an individual whose horoscope has 5 or more planets in 7th to 12th houses or 10th to 3rd houses is likely to be self-employed.
But in cases where the above conditions are fulfilled yet an individual is found to be in service due to influence of Saturn, dasha sequence, strength of 6th house/6th lord etc. Then such an individual is expected to be at a very high post in his particular profession where he would be required to take independent decisions.
Poorna Paramatmamsa Planets
The epic Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra describes Sun, Moon, Mars and Rahu as poorna paramatmamsa planets Whereas Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn and Ketu are called jeevamsa samanvit planets. It is very significant that the dasha sequence of the four poorna paramatmamsa planets follows in a continuous sequence. i.e. Sun, Moon, Mars, Rahu.
PAC influence (connection by position, aspect or conjunction) of these poorna paramatmamsa planets on the lagna and lagna lord strengths the lagna and in turn increases the independence in an individual. Similarly, PAC influence of these group of planets on the 10th house/10th lord will give independence to the vocation or profession and the individual is more likely to be self-employed.
Saturn and its influence on the 10th house and 10th lord, and the Sun and the Moon.
Before we discuss the influence of Saturn let us describe two other important astrological definitions. i.e. gocharastha and agocharastha. Saturn in exaltation sign, own house and not related to the 6th, 8th, or 12th houses is called gocharastha and is likely to give benefic results. While debilitated, eclipsed, Saturn lost in a planetary war, combust or related to 6th, 8th, or 12th houses is called
