Can astrology help you make intelligent business decisions? According to Vedic Astrology, planets can influence our lives. Their effects depend on their positions in your birth chart. Business astrology is one branch that offers insights and predictions about business decisions by using this information. Many people consult astrologers when they want to find out when they should start a new business venture or make key business decisions.
Running a business involves a lot of money, hard work, and oodles of luck. You need a winning idea, a good team, a great product, and you need to market it well. But sometimes, despite doing everything right, the business may fail. There can be many reasons for this. During the Covid pandemic, many successful businesses shut down, while others suffered heavy losses, but others made huge profits. For example, those in the hospitality and aviation industries suffered greatly, while those in the pharma business laughed all the way to the bank. Who could have predicted it? Well, an astrologer might have.
Astrology is an ancient science which has been practiced since time immemorial. By analyzing a birth chart, an astrologer can make predictions about all aspects of your life. Factors like the strength of specific Bhavas or astrological houses and planets linked to business can say a lot about how you will fare in business.
Astrology and Career Choices
Not everyone is cut out for business. You need to be clever, shrewd, practical and have an appetite for risk. Also, you have to be flexible and good at networking. So how to find out if doing business is the right choice for you? Your birth chart reveals your personality and mental make-up, which can give you a fair idea of whether or not you will shine as an entrepreneur.
Before venturing into a business, you must find out if it's the right path for you.
Certain areas in the birth chart, like the 7th, 10th, and 6th houses, can give you an idea. If your horoscope says that you will do better at a 9 to 5 job, pay heed. On the other hand, if you ignore it and start a business, there can be challenges, and success may elude you.
Sometimes, you may find that starting a business and taking up a job are equally strong in your birth chart. Then, you should seek advice from an expert astrologer to make the correct decision. If the 6th house is strong, you may make more earnings than you would from a business venture.
7th and 10th House Influence
- ∙ The 7th house is associated with partnerships, including business alliances. A strong presence in this house brings success in joint ventures.
- ∙ The 10th house is linked to career, public image, and ambition. A strong 10th house can bestow success and recognition in your career.
- ∙ If both houses are strong, your career may involve partnerships, perhaps in a leadership position.
- ∙ If there are problems between these houses, it means that you should balance your personal relationships with career goals.
How to Determine Earnings
To find out how much you will earn, you should look at the wealth-related houses (2nd and 11th) in connection with the 10th or 6th house. This will reveal if your earnings will be from a job or a business.
Other Astrological Factors
Many astrological factors need to be taken into account when deciding between a job or a business. Let us see some of them.
Choosing the Right Day
The astrological timing for business ventures is a crucial factor in their success. One should choose the right day and time to ensure a good start.

- ∙ Do not start new ventures during the periods October 18th - November 17th and January 14th - February 13th.
The Significance of Houses
- ∙ Jupiter is the planet that signifies expansions and growth. It favors success in business, especially when it occupies certain houses.
- ∙ Planet Mercury rules trade and business; hence, it is important for business people. When it is well-placed in signs like Gemini and Virgo, it is a good indication.
- ∙ Strong Mercury in certain houses also signifies success in business.
Mercury's Influence on Business
- ∙ A well-placed Mercury, especially in the 2nd, 7th, 10th, or 11th houses linked to the birth chart's lords, suggests that you are inclined towards business.

Moon Phases
The influence of Moon phases is also important. Launching a new business during a strong lunar phase, preferably a full moon, is highly auspicious, as per astrology. The moon's impact on emotions and decision-making processes has a key role to play in the early stages of your entrepreneurial journey.
