Health issues and sickness are events which cause mental agony, financial issues, and can break someone's willpower completely.
In such times, only doctors can help you.
Being a doctor is a blessing for someone and provides an opportunity to heal someone.
Every year around the world, people try to clear exams which can enable them to become a doctor.
And we all know becoming a doctor is not so easy.
It requires one to clear an entrance exam which is very hard in nature, and then the education part is also quite long, which requires patience, concentration, and dedication.
Also, education costs have risen and many can't even afford to become one, despite having the talent for it.
In this article, I am covering the planetary placements which make one a doctor.
First of all, we need to know which planets and houses are responsible to make one a doctor.
Role Of Ascendant
Like in all professions and success in it, the role of the ascendant is paramount.
The ascendant rules over self, body, and is the pillar of the Horoscope.
Being a doctor requires concentration, stamina, and good health.
They have to work in harsh and sensitive environments which can test someone's willpower.
Doctors can also have odd working hours and require one to have a fit body and mind.
Doctors make good income and some even own chains of their own hospitals.
In order to have such kind of success, the ascendant lord should be well disposed and involved in Raj or Dhanyoga.
One may have all the required placements to become a doctor but if their ascendant lord is not strong, they won't be able to get desired success in it or won't enjoy it while doing it.
We all know each zodiac has certain features and it also means certain signs in the ascendant make someone inclined to become a doctor or make someone a good doctor.
The following signs in the ascendant are supportive to become a doctor:
1. Aries: Aries sign is ruled by Mars and is known for its quick actions and ability to work in pressure situations. This sign in the ascendant is very good to become a surgeon.
2. Leo: Again a masculine sign which is very daring by nature and has good concentration and skills to operate or treat someone effectively.
3. Libra: Ruled by Venus and airy by nature, this sign again gives one quick thinking and a good response time. This sign in the ascendant promotes one to become a dentist or cosmetic surgeon.
4. Scorpio: Again ruled by Mars but rules by water element. This sign has all the abilities to excel as a Doctor. This sign makes one a great surgeon, psychologist, or any kind of specialist they want to be. Their 6th sense and intuition is amazing and allows them a correct diagnosis each time.
5. Sagittarius: Ruled by divine Jupiter who is ruler of medicine itself. This sign promotes one to take Doctor profession for noble reasons and they really want to cure people and help them to solve their health crises. It makes one master Ayurveda and Homoeopathy easily.
6. Aquarius: Ruled by Saturn and element of Air in it makes them a very good doctor. They have a natural knack to assess a medical situation completely and in times of technological advancements, they excel very well as a Doctor.
7. Pisces: Pisces sign denotes natural abilities to heal someone. It makes one a gifted healer and at the same time gives compassion and kindness to understand the pain of others. This sign promotes one to do charitable work as a Doctor.
Note: Having a certain sign over the ascendant doesn't mean that they will become a doctor or the signs not mentioned here can't. The above information indicates information of the zodiac's natural ability only. Other factors play a more important role.
Important Planets For Becoming A Doctor
Certain planets have a significant role in making someone a doctor.
The support of these planets in key houses gives a better understanding of this profession and native works with dedication and gives his 100 percent.
These planets are as follows:
1. Sun: Planet Sun is karaka of health and ruler of all kinds of treatments. It is considered as King in planets and to have a profession as Doctor one needs to have a strong planet Sun. It is also seen that, Doctors have an affliction over their Sun particularly by lord of the 6th and the 8th house. Influence of 6th house over Sun makes one expert in medicine and diagnosis. It also gives one a healing touch and proves excellent to solve the hardest medical cases.
2. Jupiter: Planet Jupiter is the most benefic planet which rules over kindness, noble nature, and represents the well-being of ours. Jupiter has rulership over medicines and represents noble profession where the purpose is well-being of humans. Involvement of Jupiter is a must for becoming a Gastroenterologist or a General Physician. For other kinds of Doctors also its role is important. But for these two it is must to have.
3. Mars: Mars represents blood and cuts. For someone to become a surgeon role of Mars is most important. Placement of Mars in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th, 9th, 10th makes one a good surgeon.
4. Saturn: In any kind of profession, the role of Saturn is important because it is the natural karaka of the 10th house. At the same time, Saturn signifies patience, hard work, and concentration which is the essential requirement of a Doctor.
Special Role Of Moon For A Career In The Medical Field
Planet Moon is the karaka of mind and a lot of our choices are based on the position of the Moon in our Horoscope. Also, planet Moon denotes our concentration and as a Doctor one need to have a solid concentration.
All doctors have a strong placement of the Moon but at the same time affliction over it. Which indicates that having an afflicted Moon is a must for a doctor.
The reason is they have to work in a very sensitive environment and have to deal with people who are in dire need.
They even see deaths quite often and dealing with such work place is not possible without the affliction over the Moon.
Affliction over Moon makes them ignore what is happening around them without getting emotional about it.
On the downside of this placement, it is seen that many doctors don't have a good personal life.
Many of them have failed marriages.
Because an afflicted Moon can make them insensitive towards the need for marriage.
Let's see an example for it.
