ASTROLOGY FOR BUSINESS / PROFESSIONS (CAREER)

It is indicated in your horoscope (of course the horoscope has to be correct), as to what business/profession, you should adopt or that you should go in for service, of course, in which type of career. So, it is necessary to consult a good astrologer to decide about starting any profession/business, so that you do not have to suffer losses, in selecting the right profession/business for you, and as such not waste your, time, and energy as also money.



The Astrology is an extremely powerful Science. Astrology is the science delving into the human and mundane destiny. It is as old as perhaps the human race itself and the Saints and the Astrologers of all ages have brought it to the level of a modern Science by their power of observation and imagination.

Astrology is no more an occult science of the Mystical East in the hands of religious Mystics, but is a modern science, based on scientific facts and research.

Every movement of star gives out a vibration and every star has its own individual movement. All the vibrations of the stars getting together at different moments, make effects on human beings and other material beings. It is a much debated question, whether the stars have any influence at all, on human beings. While we do not wish to concern ourselves with this controversy here, we may be allowed to express our view that judging from the recorded facts and our experience, we come to the conclusion that the heavenly bodies do exert their influence on the human beings, as also other material things in this world.

It is the business of Astrologers to guide the human beings with their observations. Ancient Astrologers have laid down certain astrological principles, by their constant observations and deductions, over the study of countless horoscopes. Character, Professions, Fame, Education, family life, health and in fact every phase of human life is interpreted more often than not, with surprising accuracy by experienced Astrologers.

Study of astrology is not a wading through a pool of cheap astrological contributions in weekly or monthly lay newspapers and magazines, but consists of deep and laborious delving into an ocean of ancient and modern literature on the subject, and study of thousands of horoscopes.

Career as a Disk Jockey or Dee Jay (DJ)

Disc jockeys, sometimes called "deejays," put music on the radio. They also talk about the news, sports, and weather. Sometimes they do commercials, talk with guests, and relate what's going on in the community.

They often work at radio stations. They work in small rooms called studios. These rooms have good light, air-conditioning, and are soundproof. But it can be lonely. Full-time Disc jockeys talk on the radio 5 or 6 days a week for about 4 hours at a time. However, their job takes more time than just that. Every day they must prepare for the radio show. Sometimes they write the commercials, too. Because of this, Disc jockeys don't usually work regular hours. Sometimes they may have to work 24 hours. They often must start early or work late into the night. They also must get to work, even if the weather is very bad. Disc jockeys may also work outside the station. They can work at schools or community events. Some do extra work at weddings and parties.

It is very difficult to get a job as a disc jockey. Classes in broadcast journalism at a college or technical school may help. Courses in English, public speaking, and drama are also good. Students can gain experience at school stations. Hobbies such as sports and music may help. However, most employers want to know how someone sounds on a taped audition. They pay a lot of attention to a person's way of talking. They want someone with a pleasant voice and good timing. They want a disc jockey that will do commercials, news, and interviews with a nice style. They must work under tight deadlines and may have to be computer literate. Earnings are higher in larger cities than in small ones. The middle half of all announcers earned between $7.13 and $15.10 an hour in 2002. The lowest-paid 10 percent earned less than $6.14. The highest-paid 10 percent made more than $24.92 an hour. Some Disc jockeys earn much more. Small radio stations are more inclined to hire beginners, but the pay is low. People who get work experience by completing an internship while in school have the best chance of getting a job.

The number of announcers is expected to decline through the year 2012. This is due partly to the lack of growth in the number of radio and television stations. Now, more than ever, several stations may be operated from one central office. This reduces the need for staff. Some stations operate overnight without any staff. They play programming that was recorded earlier or that comes from a satellite feed. Also, new technology is increasing the productivity of announcers, reducing the number of announcers that are needed.
