Is it wise to choose a career or profession according to the birth chart?

It's reliable and prudent to choose a particular career based upon your aptitude and love for it. It's vital that you have the necessary skills and passion for the vocation you choose. If you choose a career that is recommended by an astrologer after looking into your birth chart, and it turns out to be an occupation you totally dislike and despise, and are ill-equipped for, would you be able to do that work day-in and day-out with satisfaction and success? Answer is no. Choose to do what you love and what you are good at, and your birth astrology will approve and endorse it. This way, you'll be putting the horse before the cart, and not the cart before the horse.

What happens when there are no planets in the houses right before or after the moon?

When there are no planets posited in either of the signs adjoining the  Moon , an inauspicious yoga called  kemadruma  is formed.   This yoga supposedly deprives the native of health, wealth, peace of mind, fertility, and good luck. This yoga will get cancelled, nevertheless, when any kendra house from the Moon is occupied by a planet other than the Sun. A strong influence of Jupiter or Venus on the Moon can also help nullify the yoga. The point is, the Moon represents your mind and body, and essentially  you , and is equivalent to your  ascendant . She therefore needs support and sustenance from other planets in order to survive and thrive, as no person on this earth can live independently without any reliance on others in some way, shape, or form.

What can be called as an ideal birth chart?

First off, there is no such thing as an ideal birth horoscope. Each and every human being God creates is unique. In spite of that, if wordly prosperity is your sense of what is ideal to have on this earth, then, a birth chart with all the natural benefics in  the kendra and/or trikona houses, 1, 4, 5, 7, 9, & 10,  and all the natural malefics in  the upachaya houses, 3, 6, 10, & 11,  will be the best one. If your concept of the ideal horoscope is one which holds the promise of a God-loving, holy, sacrificial, heaven-bound life, then, a horoscope with all the natural benefics in  the dusthanas or evil houses, 3, 6, 8, & 12,  and all the natural malefics strongly positioned in  the kendras, 1, 4, 7, & 10,  will be the perfect one.

What is Sanghataka Marana yoga?

Sanghataka Marana yoga  denotes death in a mass calamity, where a person dies along with many others, such as in an earthquake, flood, boat capsize, train accident, etc. This evil yoga for collective death is discussed by noted astrologer late Shri B.V.

What is Guru Chandala Yoga in vedic astrology?

The conjunction of  Jupiter  with either  Saturn, Rahu, or Gulika  gives rise to Guru-Chandala Yoga. Jupiter is a  satvika  planet representing purity. Saturn, Rahu, and Gulika are impure planets or  chandalas . Literally, a chandala is one who deals with dead human corpses, and therefore a tainted, untouchable person who does base deeds, according to Hindu belief. So, the combining of the holy planet Jupiter with one of the aforementioned impure planets is said to degrade the effects of Jupiter, making the native cunning, unconscientious, immoral, and wicked. In practice, it has been observed that this  Guru-Chandala  yoga   is   not necessarily bad in many cases. In fact, great Saints have had this yoga. The good or bad effects this yoga might produce are largely based on the position of the planets involved, their dispositor's strength, and associations or aspects of other planets.

He lost his mother, early in life. He is unparalleled in his achievements as a Tamil writer. He has secret but obvious interest in astrology, as he always wears a  coral ring  and a  yellow shawl  to appease planets....
