(The author is a very experienced astrologer with her own researches in problems related to marriage and children. She is on our panel of astrologers- Editor)

Persons already will settled in professions face some problems which can upset their career suddenly. If it happens to a doctor it is a case of a curer (healer) needing a cure.

No one can hope to escape the effects of the planetary configurations in his horoscope. One should not be surprised if in such cases in India people rush suddenly to an astrologer to seek a situation to a problem which baffles them. The whole family gets upset and a young or middle-aged housewife with young children sees it all as a story of unending story of agony.

The Horoscope
See for instance the horoscope of a heart surgeon who has been earning fabulously after setting up a private practice.

In this horoscope there is an excellent Gajakesari Yoga along the fourth and tenth house axis. The dasha sequence has also been good as he got Venus Dasha from 1994 and made a career quickly. Venus is also involved in Gaja Kesari Yoga.

Then the dasha of Sun came in 1994. The Sun is with Mars in Navamsha in the XII house.

As soon an Rahu Antardasha came in the mahadasha of Sun on 5th Feb. 1996, he started some eye trouble of which he was not aware. When Saturn Antardasha came in October 1997 he developed serious eye trouble. Here Saturn in the XII house gives clear indication of trouble to the eye in Sun-Saturn. Here the 10th lord Mercury is also involved and afflicted. It almost threatened his lucrative private practice.

Was there any hope? Jupiter in the X involved in the Gajakesari Yoga promises to offer protection.

Navamsa
Mercury, the Xth lord is aspected by three planets in the Navamsha, Jupiter, Moon and Saturn. There was every hope of good recovery to help him practice. A surgeon cannot and should not have a weak eye-sight.

A famous doctor of Delhi refused to comment on the possibilities of full recovery. Some doctors even thought that it would become an impassable impediment in the career of the surgeon.

Parashara has prescribed Mantras as astrological remedies. A relation of the surgeon went to an astrologer who believes only on remedial measures through mantra to be done by the person himself or his wife.

In this case, the wife came and she was made to recite a mantra of Soorya (Sun) since it was Sun's Mahadasha. She was also advised to combine it with Vishnu Sahastranamavali since it was Mercury's antardasha.

A week after these remedial measures were resorted to, the doctors who earlier insisted upon surgical operation changed their minds and said they could try some medicines. On 16th November 1998 the surgeon has been able to resume his practice.

The notable points in their case are:-
It is the dasha of the IX lord the punya of this birth. Worship done during this period is very rewarding. It must be noticed here that Saturn, known as a hard task master, has been causing sadhe sati . It has also been aspecting the Sun, the Mahadasha lord. It is a well known principle in Astrology that when the Dasha lord are under affliction in transit, extra care needs to be taken.

What can be better than deep devotion?
When anyone prays sincerely God gives right inspiration to doctors to take a right decision. It has been well said in the Mahabharata that gods do not protect anyone with batons. They help by bestowing on a person a right sense of discrimination (Vivek) which in turn helps him to take a right decision and exercise right judgment.
