In his classic treatise on horary astrology (1647), 17th century astrologer William Lilly did not address issues regarding examinations, therefore modern horary astrologers are left to their own devices in answering such questions. Although references to the use of the 3rd house for written examinations can be found in modern literature (for example, C.C. Zain places “thoughts, studies, and writing in the horary chart’s 3rd house”), most contemporary horary practitioners prefer to look to the 9th and 10th houses for answers to such questions.
The present emphasis on education was not part of the cultural environment of 17th century astrologers, according to Lee Lehman in The Martial Art of Horary Astrology (2002, p250). The 9th house of wisdom and abstract knowledge, as well as the opposite 3rd house of more practical knowledge, have relevance in problems of education, according to Lehman. She goes on to say that Lilly’s horoscope about obtaining the Philosopher’s Stone implicates the 10th house as a symbol of the culmination of years of study and learning.
“Will I pass my finals and graduate from college?” asks Christopher Warnock on his website as an example of a horary question. On the 20th of June, 2003, at 12:21 p.m. in Tel Aviv, I inquired. Taurus takes over the 9th cusp as Virgo ascends. According to Warnock, Venus, as ruler of the 9th house, represents higher education, university, and upcoming final exams (which are part of university education). Because Asc-ruler Mercury is about to conjunct 9th ruler Venus, the querent is expected to pass the exam and graduate. Mercury dominates the Gemini 10th house in this chart, adding to the prominence of accolades and accomplishment.
Nina Gryphon uses the example of a horary to predict if her husband will pass an exam on her website. She casts her husband in the Aquarius 7th house and claims that because 7th ruler Saturn rules the Libra radical 3rd (her husband’s 9th) and is exalted in Libra, her husband will do well on the exam. Her interpretation of Saturn’s Retrograde condition is that her husband will recall the content during the exam. She doesn’t think about whether the Moon or the rulers of her husband’s 9th and 10th (radical 3rd and 4th) houses will be in opposition to his ruler Saturn. Her main reasoning appears to be that because Saturn rules her husband’s 7th cusp (Aquarius) and is the exalted ruler of his 9th (the radical 3rd) of higher education, he would do well on the exam.
The 9th and 10th houses are especially significant in education, according to John Frawley’s Horary Textbook (2014). According to Frawley (p258), the 10th house represents the benefit acquired from 9th house study and learning. Frawley then correlates exam outcomes with study profits, claiming that academic exam performance is a 10th house matter. Nonetheless, according to Frawley, the ruler of the 9th house must be in good enough shape for the querent to pass a test, as the 9th house represents the querent’s level of subject matter knowledge.
In this type of query, the most typically utilized house significations are:
Written papers, primary or ‘hands-on’ education, and tests are under the 3rd house.
University, higher education, abstract knowledge, studies and learning, exams as part of the advanced education learning process are all represented by the 9th house.
Honors, business success, judges and their decisions, benefit from 9th house knowledge (therefore exam success), the culmination of years of study and understanding.
I discovered the following intriguing test question on the internet, which was issued in 1995 by astrologer Andrew J. Bevan, QHP, DMS Astrology.
Mr. Bevan attempts to respond to the question “Will I Pass My Physiotherapy Exam?,” which was posed at 15.30 GMT on June 8, 1995 in Oslo, 59N55, 10E43. The chart with Regiomontanus houses and Egyptian terms/bounds can be found here. (According to Bevan, the chart was drawn on a Venus day during a Mercury hour, making the date June 9th rather than June 8th.) Because the chart he posted is from June 8th, and the text says June 8th, I’ll use it instead of the June 9th chart, which corresponds to Bevin’s statements regarding the day and hour lord. It’s conceivable that he provided the incorrect chart, and we should be looking at the chart from June 9th instead. The significant difference between the two charts is that the Moon would have been at 29 Libra on Friday, June 9th, while the other planets had only moved slightly.)
On a Jupiter day, during a Mars hour, the query is posed.
Mars also oversees the Ascendant, thus it represents the querent as well as health-related concerns in the 6th house. The Ascendant is a factor to consider before making a decision.
The Regiomontanus 9th house, which has Gemini on the cusp and Cancer intercepted within, represents higher learning. As a result, Mercury represents her studies, and the Moon may serve as a co-ruler.
The 10th house, which has Leo on the cusp, will highlight her academic excellence as evidenced by her exam grade. From the Ascendant, Mars (the querent) is in the 10th Regiomontanus house (honors, success) and the 11th Whole Sign (hopes and wishes) in Virgo. The 10th house, according to Bevan (CA p55), represents judges and their decisions in court cases, and an exam is similar to presenting your evidence to a judge to see whether you are enough informed to pass the course.
The Moon, a co-ruler of the querent and ruler of Cancer intercepted in the 9th, is preparing to trine the Sun, ruler of the 10th and general ruler of honors and recognition, indicating that she will pass the exam. Furthermore, Mars (querent) and Mercury (9th ruler) are forming a square, with Mars in Mercury’s domicile. The querent “was examined on the themes of hip and hand and passed the examination with perfection,” according to Bevan.
Another sample I found on the internet. The questioner wants to know if his brother will pass a crucial exam that could affect his job. The 10th house is especially crucial in this scenario since it might indicate both job development and exam achievement. On May 17, 2009, at 12:15 p.m., the question was posed in Karachi, Pakistan. The chart with Regiomontanus houses and Egyptian words is shown below.
The Libra 3rd cusp, controlled by Venus in the sign of her detriment in the 8th house, and afflicted by Mars, the out-of-sect malefic, indicates that the brother is not in great shape in this matter.
To assess the brother’s exam achievement, we must look at his 9th and 10th houses, which are the radical 11th and 12th houses, respectively, controlled by Mercury and the Moon.
The Moon, ruler of the brother’s 10th, is going to square the Sun in the radical 10th from Aquarius, the sign of the sun’s detriment, and has only facial dignity. This is a counter-argument to the brother failing the exam.
Mercury is peregrine (without essential dignity) and is combust the Sun and applying to the Sun, therefore rising in combustion. This is just another argument that the brother will fail the exam due to a lack of information.
The result was that the brother failed the exam, which was a necessity for the job he wanted, and thus decided not to pursue it.
In the next post, I’ll look at a recent horary about passing a test through the lens of Evangeline Adams’ “new horary method.”

Which planet is most conducive to competitive examinations?
- If the native’s 9th house is benefic in his or her horoscope, it will assist him or her in passing the examination. In order to pass a competitive exam, the 9th house must be in favorable position and strong, in addition to being benevolent.
- If malefic planets are present in the main and sub-periods at the time of the examination, the native will have difficulty passing it. If Rahu and Ketu are in the 12th house and their main and sub-periods are active, the same thing will happen.
- If the Lagna is benefic and strong, and the native’s 5th house is strong, he or she will be well-informed and possess a strong willpower. In addition to these abilities, if Mercury is powerful and positioned in the lagna, 4th, 5th, 9th, or 11th house, he or she will have a great probability of passing the exam. The student has a decent possibility of appearing for a competitive exam if Jupiter, Sun, Rahu, and Venus are all strong and in favourable positions. If these planets are weak and in the 8th or 12th house, the native will have a difficult time passing the exam.
- In competitive tests, the 4th house (house of education), 5th house (house of knowledge), and 6th house all play supporting roles. If Jupiter, Mercury, Sun, and Rahu are all strong in the 6th house, the native will have an easier time passing the exam.
- If Mercury is weak and retrograde, the native may experience difficulties such as anxiety during exams, making dumb blunders, and so on. If a person’s chart contains Budha Aditya yog, Guru Aditya yog, Bondhu Pujya yog, or Raj yog, they will pass a competitive exam with flying colors. If none of these are available, the native’s 5th, 6th, 9th, and 11th houses must be strong and benefic in order to succeed in a competitive exam. The Vidya karaka planets, such as Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, or the Sun, must also be benign and powerful.
- Aside from these facts, we must also analyze our D9 chart. If Ketu is good, your health will be alright during the exam. If Ketu is weak and malefic, the native will experience a sudden health problem before or during the exam, resulting in low performance or exam absence.
Which planet is best for learning?
Knowledge entails knowing everything that God has made, and ignorance is regarded as a divine curse. Education is a tool for learning about God’s creation and making the most of it.
The foundation of life is education.
Education benefits a person and provides him with several options to influence his life. Education has a different meaning today than it did in the past. The primary goal of education was to polish a student’s grammar and mannerism in order to meet societal expectations. However, today it has a new appearance or, to put it another way, individuals look and think differently when asked about their opinions on the subject. It has evolved into a means of subsistence. With the progress of technology, a plethora of areas have emerged, and students are frequently perplexed when asked to choose a career path. Aptitude tests play a significant role in determining the topic of a student’s choice, but in a nation like India, where options are limited, is it possible for every student to give him with the stream of his choice? Engineers and technologists have been known to perform clerical duties and vice versa. It is possible to predict a person’s tendencies where he can achieve perfection using astrology. On the other side, it may shed light on a part of his livelihood that isn’t the same as the one in which he excelled academically. Parents can use astrological assistance to help them choose the ideal subject for their children right from the start. Some students appear to be perplexed when it comes to choosing a subject to study. They are unsure of which path to take. Astrology can be of assistance in this situation. Planets in a person’s natal chart can indicate the type of schooling and profession that would be best for them.
Jupiter is the karaka of education and knowledge in Vedic Astrology. When Jupiter is in Trikona or Kendra with the lord of the 5th house, it brings good educational success. Mercury is the planet of intelligence. As a result, it should be well situated in the horoscope, alongside Jupiter, for an individual’s scholastic successes.
We should also evaluate the student’s primary education and his capacity to articulate himself while determining the course of study. The 5th house, on the other hand, is the most important for schooling. For research-based teaching, the 8th house should be examined. This house is also significant for secret information or magical abilities, among other things.
The Sun, Mercury, and Venus, as well as their good placement in the horoscope, are involved in well-known Vedic Astrology combinations such Buddhaditya yoga and Saraswati Yoga. If Venus is prominent in the natal chart, the native will have a desire to learn about music, dancing, painting, tourism, and other artistic endeavors. Engineer, doctor, surgeon, and more educational fields may be available if Mars is strong. Combinations of Mars, Saturn, Rahu, and the Moon indicate engineering or medical education. Venus and Mars depict the electrical field. Electronic media is represented by Ketu. Saturn represents the earth, hence this area is dedicated to mines, minerals, petroleum, and leather, among other things.
Planets have an impact on people’s educational choices and their ability to grasp them. When the second and fifth houses, as well as their lords, are severely afflicted, the person has little or no education. Higher learning is associated with the ninth house, which is the house of religion and spirituality. Because Jupiter rules this house, it encompasses subjects such as science, spirituality, philosophy, religion, and so on. Those who are unsure about their child’s education and believe in the supremacy of astrology should seek advice from an astrologer so that the child can receive an education based on the planets that are well placed in the natal chart of the individual.
Which Nakshatra is ideal for academic pursuits?
- If favourable constellations are chosen, the child’s education will continue and progress without hindrance or conflict.
- A Chara (Moveable) or Soumya (Benefic) Nakshatra is the most favorable of these.
- If a child’s first day of school falls under a movable nakshatra such as Swati, Punarvasu, Shravan, Ghanishtha, or Shatavisha, or a softer nakshatra such as Hasta, Ashwini, Pushya, Moola, Mrigashira, Chitra, Purvashada, Purvaphalguni, Purvabhadrapada, or Ashlesha, it
Which planet is in charge of luck?
There’s more to astrology than our sun, moon, and rising signs. Every point and planet in the zodiac, no matter how big or tiny, reflects different aspects of who we are and how we operate. But for the time being, let’s concentrate on the enormous, as in the largest-planet-in-the-solar-system big. Jupiter, the planet of good fortune and expansion in astrology, holds the honor. Knowing what your Jupiter sign represents and what the meaning of Jupiter in astrology means might help you better understand your relationship to luck, learning, and living ethically.
In astrology, the personal planets (which include the sun, moon, Mercury, Venus, and Mars) reveal a lot about our personalities and how we react to situations. However, Jupiter in astrology informs us more about how we react to wider themes inside ourselves and society as a whole because it is one of the transpersonal social planets (which are further away from the sun than the personal planets and have a more collective impact). Jupiter rules subjects like philosophy, spiritual beliefs, morals, and higher education, thus this planet urges us to think big and explore the far reaches of the human soul. Jupiter is the traditional ruler of Pisces and the ruling planet of Sagittarius in the zodiac, thus its energy is very essential to anyone born with a lot of Sag or Pisces energy in their astrological birth chart.
Jupiter is sometimes known as the planet of good luck, despite the fact that its themes can be somewhat philosophical. Continue reading to learn more about Jupiter’s astrology.
What planet is in charge of mathematics?
Unlike in modern times, when education produces people with a highly competitive attitude and an unloving character, education in ancient India had a deep euphoric meaning.
Education was once not just for the aim of making a living, but also for gaining a thorough understanding of life itself. However, nowadays, the entire goal of modern education is to be a money, name, and fame achiever, which for many students destroys the joy of learning. In these situations, astrological guidance can be quite useful for educational counseling and assessing a student’s ability based on his horoscope.
In Vedic astrology, the 2nd and 5th houses in a horoscope represent education “:as stated by Sage Parashara in Chapter 14 of his Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra. The 5th house is associated with instruments, mantras, and education in this Sanskrit verse. It is also the home of intelligence and management abilities.
The Sage Parashara has stated unequivocally that education must be judged only on the basis of the 5th house. However, the Parashara and Jaimini Rishis have taken the 2nd house from the Karakamsha lagna for education in particular astrological combinations.
These astrological works by Parashara and Jaimini were written thousands of years ago, when there were only a few subjects available for pupils to study. Astrological combinations for learning mathematics, law, statistics, yoga, weapon use, pharmaceuticals, chemistry, and other subjects have been given in these ancient literature. However, nowadays, a student has the option of selecting among hundreds of subjects or courses based on his or her interests and preferences.
Shri K.N. Rao, a modern legendary astrologer, has done much research in the domain of predicting schooling from a native’s horoscope. Throughout the book, “Planets and Education was written under his supervision and includes a set of astrological metrics for judging education based on planetary combinations in a horoscope.
According to modern astrological methodology, the following factors should be considered while evaluating a horoscope’s education.
All fiery signs (Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius) as well as Mercury and Saturn signs (Gemini, Virgo, Capricorn, and Aquarius) are considered technical signs.
Non-technical signs include all water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces), as well as Venus’ signs ( Taurus and Libra).
As a result of their placement in technical or non-technical signs, as well as the influences of other planets on them, different planets provide diverse subjects of study.
The study of political science and public administration is possible when the Sun is influenced by benefice planets. Statistics are studied while the Sun is in conjunction with Mercury and Mars in the technical sign. When Mars and Saturn have an influence on the Sun, it results in engineering in fields such as electrical.
Moon: According to Hindu mythology and astrological texts, the Moon is the ruler of medicinal plants, medicines, music, and fine arts, among other things. Under the influence of malefic planets, the Moon in the sign of Scorpio provides medical knowledge. The study of medicines is given by the Moon in the watery sign under malefic influences. The Moon and Venus in the Karakamsha, according to sage Jaimini, make one a chemist who creates medications. A medical practitioner is born while the Moon is in Karakamsha and is afflicted by Mercury.
When the Moon is in a non-technical sign, however, people choose to pursue subjects relating to the humanities and have a preference for music and visual arts. The Moon’s involvement is critical in determining a native’s desire to study in a specific location or areas. The greater the number of planets affecting Moon or the 5th house from it, the more education a native might receive in a variety of subjects.
Mars: According to Hindu astrology, Mars is the karaka of logic and is fiery in temperament. Mars, in conjunction with Saturn and Jupiter, is associated with the study of law. Mars, on the other hand, studies engineering when it is influenced by harsh malefic planets.
According to Jataka Tattva, communication between Mars and Mercury makes one a skilled wrestler or performer.
Mercury is a planet in the solar system. Mercury is associated with business, mathematics, and literary abilities. The favorable influence of Mercury in a non-technical sign provides instruction in the arts, writing, journalism, mass communication, sculptural design, and other fields. When the 2nd, 5th, and 7th houses/lords are all present in the chart, Mercury is especially associated with business.
When Mercury is influenced by the Sun and Mars, it imparts mathematical knowledge. Mercury gives studies of engineering disciplines like computer science, telecommunication, and electronics when planets like Ketu, Mars, and/or the Sun are in the technical sign. Because Mercury is the Karaka for education in astrology, the 5th house from Mercury is carefully studied to see the chances of education.
When Jupiter is under benevolent effects or is devoid of any external influences, it imparts education in holistic studies, Yoga, Vedanta, Ayurveda, Naturopathy, history, philosophy, scriptures, religious ceremonies, and so on. When Jupiter is influenced by Mars and Saturn, however, it provides legal education.
Jupiter is also known as the karaka of Jeeva, or living things. When malefic planets are strong in the chart and the watery sign is strong, it also gives study of biotechnology. Jupiter also represents leadership. Its high effect on the tenth house also encourages people to pursue management-related studies.
According to Hindu myths, Venus is the lord of 64 art genres. A strong Venus, free of extraneous influences, bestows knowledge of various great arts, such as music, dancing, and painting. The study of humanities and the arts is made possible by Venus’s conjunction with benefic planets such as the Moon, Mercury, and Jupiter.
If Venus is linked to the Moon and/or Mercury, it can also be used to research medicine. According to Jataka Tattva, Venus, Moon, and Mercury making an aspect to the Karakamsha or the 2nd from it qualifies one to practice medicine. If Venus and Moon form an aspect to the Karakamsha lagan, a person can also work in the medical area.
The study of web design and multimedia is aided by a powerful Venus in malefic effects linking with the 5th house.
The study of geography is given by Venus in technical indications under the influence of Saturn. When Venus is influenced by Jupiter, she bestows hotel management.
Saturn: The study of history and law is aided by a powerful Saturn under benefic influences or devoid of any external influences. Mechanical engineering is the study of Saturn in conjunction with Mars in technical indicators. Saturn’s conjunction with the Moon in the watery sign indicates a desire to study chemical engineering.
Rahu and Ketu: Rahu and Ketu are shadow planets that act like the planets with which they are related or who give them aspect. A strong Rahu in the Karakamsha or in the 2nd house from it, according to the sage Jaimini, makes a local a master in military skills, dealing with deadly poisons, and creating iron and steel machines. Rahu in the Karakamsha with the Sun under the influence of both malefic and benefic planets, according to Jataka Tattva, gives study of medicines.
Rahu also represents overseas trade, aeronautics, and airline-related work, according to recent astrological studies. When the Ketu is related with the 3rd or 5th house and/or their lords, coupled with any benefic impact, it gives foreign language.
