Should I Switch Jobs?

Should I Switch Jobs? — The 5 Vedic Factors

Classical Jyotish says career timing comes from 5 signals working together — not a single planet. This calculator scores each out of its classical weight, adds them up, and tells you whether your current phase supports a switch.

1. Mahadasha lord — Guru / Budh / Shukra dashas expand careers; Shani delays; Ketu detaches.
2. Shani gochar — Sade Sati or Dhaiyya = high-friction phase, not ideal for aggressive moves.
3. Guru gochar over 10th — Jupiter in 2/5/9/10/11 from Moon is the classical signal for growth.
4. Rahu/Ketu on 10th — sudden chaos or detachment; usually forces changes you didn't plan.
5. 10th-lord dignity — exalted or own-sign 10th lord = inherently strong career DNA.

Sade Sati + Job Change

Agar Sade Sati chal rahi hai aur current role stable hai, classical advice is to hold. Sade Sati ke peak (Shani on natal Moon — 2nd dhaiyya) mein kiye gaye switches zyadatar friction, salary delay ya company instability lekar aate hain. Exceptions: Guru transit strong ho, naya role svadharma ke close ho, ya current role toxic ho — tab switch fine hai.
