If our horoscope indicates failure in a field, Should we continue it?
A woman devotee (Name hidden) asked like this:
“Hare Krishna Sir. If astrology defines that I can’t get the desired result or success in a certain field I’m working on, then will my all efforts and hard work go to vain simply because it’s not in my fate and without any role of karma after working hard that long? God bless you sir”
REPLY:
See, the horoscope, karma, etc., are applicable only if you work for your own benefits.
When you work for Krishna, these predictions won’t be applicable.
For example, you may plan to do medicine after Plus two studies.

Your aim is to build a sky high hospital and make it the city’s sophisticated and costliest hospital.
Your horoscope indicates that you are destined to become a microbiologist.
So, whatever you try, you can’t get a seat in medicine.
Another person likes to study medicine and build a hospital associating with a spiritual organization for giving the free treatment for poor devotees.
In this case, the horoscope won’t work.
Why?
Because he is going to do medicine for serving the poor devotees, not for himself.
Another example is myself.
According to my horoscope, I have to face repeated failures in material business though I work with full dedication.

It happened. When I was doing educational business for becoming a big guy, I faced repeated barriers ion my material business.
Since I was maintaining association with the devotees of ISKCON, because of the association, day by day, my material desires started to come down and a strong wish to serve the Lord and His devotees developed.
So, I started serving thru Online Social media while doing my educational business.
Since my preaching services grew beyond a limit that started to consume most of my time every day.
So, I was unable to focus in my material business.
So, my business came down.
I could not spare time for the both.
So, I had to decide which one to continue – Material business or Online Preaching service?
(What if a Krishna devotee’s horoscope indicates some other Gods? READ HERE!)
I decided to quit the material business and continue the Spiritual service.
Why?
Because, as said by Sri Rupa Gosvami, THE DEVOTIONAL SERVICE IS RARE TO ACHIEVE.
Krishna has given that opportunity. I did not like to lose that.
So, I became a full time servant of the Lord and His devotees.
Same Person; Same brain; Same Computer; Same house.
But, this devotional service is going on popularly and without issues or shortages.
Krishna somehow arranges money to run this service thru the supporting devotees and my value added services
I was facing more barriers when I worked for me.
Those barriers disappeared when I serve Krishna and His devotees selflessly.

This service is going on since the year 2011 without a break of even a single day.
Thus, when we work for our fame and comforts, karma and horoscope makes its impact.
When we serve Krishna selflessly, same planets stop causing barriers.
Many people fear for Saturn thinking that it will cause too much of issues in life.
But, Saturn himself has said that he gives some problems only to the people who have ego and violate dharma. His aim is to correct them. If a person is detached and have no ego, same Saturn helps him to cultivate that attitude.
So, analyzing horoscope is to decide on which path one should proceed.
Only if he is destined to get directed and corrected, he will get a good astrologer and get right guidance.
If your astrologer is a reliable person, you can act according to his advice.
If he is not a reputed person and you are not sure about his reputation, you can just take efforts to get something. If it fails twice or thrice, stop with that and aim for another one.
Dr. APJ. Abdul Kalam aimed to become a pilot.
In spite of so many attempts, he could not get that job.
He went to Himalayas and met Sri Sivananda Sarasvati, a renounced sanyasi.
Dr. Kalam told that sanyasi that he was unable to become a pilot that was his dream job.
Sri Sivananda told Dr. Kalam: “If God is willing to make you a maker of plane, how can you become a pilot? God may have still bigger plans for you as per your karma”

As said by Sri Sivananda, Dr. Kalam became a Space Scientist, Nuclear scientist and also the First Citizen of India (President).
Mr. Vijay Malliah was a very successful businessman until he was running Kingfisher liquor business. When he started Kingfisher airlines in which he did not have any experience, his fall started and he was caught by loans and ran out of country.
So, my advice to you is:
No need to worry if our horoscope indicates failure in a field, if we focus only on our karthavya karma, ie, the job in which we have NATURAL INVOLVEMENT.
I had natural involvement in online preaching. I chose that. I am happy now.
So, do a job that you feel that you can do that naturally without difficulties.
It is called karthavya karma, ie, assigned duty.
If you don’t get a good astrologer, just do your karthavya karma.
Things will go well. Though some problems arise, you will be able to address those problems.
Ok? No need for any confusion whether to continue or quit if our horoscope indicates failure in a field.
