An Aid to Timing Important
Events – Part VI – Setback in Career and Loss of Office.

Much has already been
discussed and illustrated as to how Saturn, during his transit, exercises the
power and influence to produce memorable events in one’s life and career. It
transpires from the foregoing discussion how effortlessly it is possible to fix
up the period with a high degree of accuracy, when Saturn crowns one with
brilliant success in career or massive victory in endeavour. Saturn’s priority
in the judgment of human career and action has so firmly been established that
it is useless to magnify and impossible to nullify our main thesis any further.
As Saturn is the character of our Karmic life, he can both control the reins of
horses and unshackle them. He can also switch off all lamps and suspend or
close a well begun play. As unmixed happiness is not possible, so also an
unobstructed career. Our journey through life means forward and backward
movements and also break journeys. It is commonly experienced that success
stems from attempts and failures, and similarly, in more cases than one, a
sunny day of career is over-clouded by an abysmal darkness. As Saturn gears up
one’s activities and boosts up one’s career, so also he occasionally gives red
signals. By a careful study of Saturn’s position during his transit, we can
ascertain the period when a person is destined to suffer set0backs in life and
career or when one is to envisage an accident in karmic life like termination of
office or suspension in service. A transfer to a clerk may be lethal blow,
stronger than what dethronement is to a ruler. Rules, however, function
uniformly for both a ruler and a clerk.

Rule
I

Setback of grave nature
and ignominious downfall are indicated in the natal chart, if lord of the 10^th
house has only Rahu or Ketu in front of him without any planet in between. The
same results accrue when lord of the 10h house is associated with Rahu or Ketu,
not forming thereby a Raja Yoga, as evinced in rule G.

When Saturn, during his
transit, occupies a sign, wherefrom he cannot maintain any connection, by
virtue of aspect or union or exchange of position with either of the 10^th
– lords, reckoned from ascendant and the Moon sign and, more particularly, when
lord of the 10^th house fall sin the 6^th, the 8^th
or the 12^th form the location of moving Saturn, the outcome is
manifest in the form of setback or crisis in career and activities, failure in
undertaking or loss of power and position.

Saturn cripples or wrecks
a flourishing career when he becomes delinked with lord of the 10^th
by aspect, union or exchange of position, during his transit, which
synchronizes with Rahu’s transit over his own or Ketu’s natal position or over
lord of the 10^th who has exchanged his position with lord of the 10^th
in a chart, where lord of the 10^th has Rahu or Ketu ahead of him in
the same or a different sign with no planet in between. In such a case, Saturn
should be delinked with the stronger of the 10^th lords, where there
are two such lords, and may aspect or transit over a weak 10^th lord
eclipsed by Rahu or Ketu and a lord of any evil house simultaneously.

At the time of debacle,
Rahu or Ketu may also be united with lord of the 10^th in the
debilitation sign of either of them or in the 6^th, the 8^th
or the 12^th from the 10h lord.
