I want to quickly share with you about work and wisdom from the Vedic Astrology perspective
and this plays out for all of us, irrespective of ascendant, irrespective of what your rising
sign is, irrespective of any of this stuff.
This is applicable to all 8 billion of us.
So quickly, the points are listed over there.
Let me just go through step by step.
So in the previous work versus creativity, I spoke of the fifth house versus sixth house.
I'll link that up for you in case you want to visit that again.
So what is work meaning in our life?
What does really all this work that we are going to do mean for us individually?
And what is wisdom?
Where does wisdom and work connect with each other in our life?
Why should we become wise?
Why should we listen to the wise elders in our life?
Would it be the elders as your people who are elderly to you, people who are your gurus
or teachers of any kind?
Why should we listen to them?
And how does it play into our life in terms of work?
So work in Vedic Astrology stands for the 10th house, which I have shown over there.
And wisdom is in the ninth house.
Now the principles of Vedic Astrology go something like this in terms of houses.
The gain of the wisdom, the gain of ninth house is shown in the 10th house.
So whatever wisdom you have, you will produce it onto your work area.
Every house behaves like this.
So the gain of the ninth house is shown in the 10th house.
So whatever your wisdom is, whatever you're gaining through life, through your work, through
your professions, etc.
You're going to end up showing in the career.
The 10th house is the house of your career, your job, your business, whatever it is that
you're doing in the external world out there.
Okay?
That's the gain of the 10th house.
Now here's where I want you to pay attention more.
The loss of work, if you're out of job, out of business, out of your career, that's a
good thing.
Why?
The loss of work leads to wisdom.
The loss of the 10th house is gained in the ninth house.
This is the reason you might have noticed if you're out of work, you tend to review back
what happened in your last job or last business or your career if you're a retired person.
You tend to look back and you seem to connect the dots.
You seem to understand more of what happened in your life.
Why did my job, a business, a thing, I had these losses and gates?
What did it help me to really understand?
The wisdom that is gleaned by you in this life is upon loss of that work because this
is the 12th position.
The ninth house is 12th from the 10th house.
12th house from any house is the house of loss.
A plus one, ninth house gaining next house is the house of gains.
What you gain from it?
That's how the gain and loss cycle in our life works.
This is what we are doing throughout life.
Now quickly what does ninth house stand for?
Let's just look at it.
It stands for Dharma.
It stands for support of nature.
Merits from past lives.
Your past life, whatever you have gained is good karma, shows up in the ninth house.
Fortunes, your luck, your popularity of gaining things.
Wisdom, meditation, philosophy, worldview, liberalism basically.
World view, faith, transcultural, understanding, wisdom of understanding different races that
we are on this planet.
It stands for religion.
It stands for worship, piety, morality, ethics, higher education, professional training.
Children in their growth, solution to problems, foreign travel, their travels, destiny, luck,
institutes, universities, research, crystallized wisdom which implies belief and religion,
spirituality, meditation, long distance travel, foreign travel, good deeds of previous life,
house of wealth, abstract thinking, cross-cultural, intellectual boundaries into new cultures,
beliefs, faith, foreign research, publishing, import, export.
In terms of organs, it stands for your hips, thighs and tailbone area.
That's the ninth house.
What does the tenth house stand for?
It stands for occupation, profession, career, reputation, prestige, success and status in
society, honor, promotion, rank, renown, fame, ambition, happiness, authority, royalty, ruling
power, sense of importance, dignity, living in foreign lands, commerce, trade, clothing,
public life.
External manifestation of our work, fame, prestige, honor, rise in life, why sun is shining
in the tenth house.
It's right on top of the head.
That's the view you are giving your soul is giving to the rest of the world.
Energy levels at work, image at work.
What is your reputation at work?
Government, recognition from government, authority.
Okay, tenth house is authority.
Saturn is the Karaka for the tenth house.
Powerful positions like politicians, CEOs, directors of institutes, management related
positions in terms of organs, it stands for knees and middle portion of the legs.
That's why they keep telling you to stand on your own feet.
So that is ninth and tenth house in its essence.
What these two stand for?
So what does this tell us in a sense?
What does this mean to us?
What is this showing to us?
This shows us number one that loss of work leads to wisdom.
This is why you should listen to your elders.
The ones who are retired, the ones who have finished their work life, the ones who have
gone stepped out of life and now are just relaxing, chilling out.
But they have all the wisdom.
Why?
Because they are out of work.
Anybody who is out of work is more wise than the person who is slogging in the offices
in their work business career.
They're just making, translating their wisdom and making things happen in the structural
world.
Nth house is the house of structural world where you make things happen in brick and
concrete in the external world.
Number two, gain of wisdom leads to service.
This gain of wisdom, whatever you gain in the ninth house is taken into the work.
So you should have, in actuality, if you look at it one way, you should have equal amounts
of time in life where you work and you're without work.
It's not all about work, work, work.
You should be enough presence you should have in life so that you are in work and out of
work in equal amounts of proportion.
That would be idealistic living.
The only purpose of wisdom is in service to the collective earth and humanity.
This is the way I say it.
The only purpose of wisdom is in service to the collective, what you're bringing as your
wisdom you have to give it away to the rest of the world and to earth and to humanity.
Number four, work is only merely a vehicle to provide a platform to implement and share
wisdom.
This again, as I've said, work is merely a vehicle to provide.
Work doesn't mean anything.
Don't make work very significant.
People are going after promotions, after titles, this is making something significant.
Nothing is significant in this world.
It's just a vehicle to provide an experience for the soul.
All of this is to provide an experience for the soul in gathering, ah, this is what this
means cause and effect, this is what I do and this is what I get in return.
But that doesn't mean you make it significant.
There's nothing of significance.
So I'll leave you with this much.
Take care, be safe and reflect upon this.
Bye bye.
