In astrology, Jupiter is considered Deva Guru and Venus is considered as Daitya Guru. Both own the advisory roles and hence are main significant planets for teaching profession. Mercury is the Karaka planet for education, communication skills and vak shakti thereby plays an important role in this profession. Saturn being Karaka for profession should be influenced by Jupiter. Lagna indicating the self and one’s intrinsic nature, 10th being the house indicating profession and 11th house indicating the source of income and thus become vital while analyzing one’s profession. 9th house is also important as it signifies the Guru and higher education. So, 1st, 9th, 10th and 11th houses, the planets Jupiter, Mercury and Venus and the Karaka Saturn are found prominently interconnected in the charts of educators.
