In astrology, 6th house and Virgo sign are considered to denote litigations and courts etc. Jupiter and 9th house relates to justice for innocents. Jupiter also becomes important as a lawyer also needs to give law advice and has to take up an advisory role. Saturn ensures that the guilty are punished for their wrong doings. Advocates Represent a client in the court of law, Speak on behalf of a client and plead their case therefore 2nd house and Mercury, the planet for speech are again very important factors that have a say. Advocates sometimes need to be manipulative also particularly in present days, so Rahu also becomes important.
It may be concluded that the planets Saturn, Jupiter, Mercury and Venus (lord of Taurus, representing 2nd house of Kaalpurush kundli) should have connections with 6th house, 2nd house, 9th house, 10th house (denoting the career) and Ascendant. Besides, these planets should also be interlinked with each other. Also, Taurus, Gemini, Virgo, Capricorn and Aquarius born people are more likely or liable to have an advocate’s profession. The specialization of the advocate may be looked into by observing the influence of other planets besides the above one. So, if Mars also has influence over the above mentioned factors, the native may be practising revenue cases. Similarly, Mars-Rahu combinations may take one to practice criminal cases, Venus to practice marriage related cases, Saturn-Ketu to practice cases related to tax or dishonesty, Mercury-Venus to practice corporate cases and natives having influence of Sun and Moon may be engaged in Govt. related cases or may work as a Govt. advocate.
Let’s discuss two charts of very famous and legendary advocates.
Birth Chart - Shri Suraj Narayan Pareek.
He was a legendary advocate of revenue matters in Rajasthan.
It may be observed that the above rules nicely explain the profession as an advocate in this chart. Its a Virgo Ascendant with retrograde Saturn placed in its own 6th house. Mercury (lord of Ascendant and 10th house) and Jupiter both are disposed off in 2nd house in Libra (sign of Venus). Venus being 2nd and 9th lord is aspecting the 6th house from 12th. Jupiter is aspecting 6th and 10th house. So, all the significators Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn are interlinked as well as have relationships with Ascendant, 2nd, 6th, 9th and 10th houses. Again, Mars is aspecting 6th house from 3rd that explains his expertise in revenue matters.
Birth Chart: Shri Ram Jethmalani
He was a very well known and brilliant Advocate of his time. Its a Capricorn Ascendant nativity ruled by Saturn. Mercury becomes lord of 6th and 9th house and is exalted, in 9th house in conjunction with Saturn (Ascendant and 2nd lord). Thus Ascendant, 2nd, 6th and 9th houses are very well knit, by means of Mercury - Saturn conjunction in 9th house. Jupiter is placed in the 10th house and from there it aspects the 6th. Aspect of Ketu on 6th from 2nd and aspect of four planets Sun, Mars, Rahu and Venus on 2nd house from 8th house may be observed which explains his expertise in multiple legal branches.
