Hi Ernst & all,
I'm diving into career determination with Jaimini again and realize that I don't have Mercury as a career planet as per Jaimini's rules. Am a Virgo lagna and have spent 12+ years in business, including project management, marketing, communication, etc... My Mercury is linked to 7th cusp through rasi aspect and I have Moon, lord of 11th cusp, in my lagna which seems to correspond to the business combo (also connections with the 4th and 10th cusps). Am curious as to why the ascendant lord is not taken into account. Given my example, I feel like someone would have missed a lot about career stuff without Mercury in the picture. Considering also that the ascendant is the foundation of the chart, would you recommend looking at the ascendant with Jaimini techniques as well?
Thank you,
Mona
So you've decided to get back into Jaimini after all.
What inspired you to get back into it?
It can be difficult and interesting to have a dual sign ascendant. The 1st, 4th, 7th, and 10th will all rashi aspect each other. So if one of signs is cursed or blessed it effects the rest. We cannot escape it's effects in private life, interpersonal, public, at home, in family, at work, and in partnerships, and their effect on our physical health. One will affect all the rest!
On top of that our four pillars of life are ruled by the 2 manifesting planets.

On the other hand I think it may give us a connection to the goddess Saraswati.
when AK rules a planet in the Navamsa, that planet also becomes a carreer planet, or a skill planet, somehow.
What about when the AK rules the navamsha ascendant?
You have probably checked the Su if it is stronger than AK. Anyway, I have in my notes that lagna, lagna lord, 10 cusp and its lord usually give dabbling and stepping stones. Emphasis on usually ???? as 12 years plus is not dabbling. But it is not an exact science (yet) it seems.
