Education in a Child’s Life

Begetting a child remains a proud moment for any parent. Almost immediately, they also become particular that their child should live a long and comfortable life. They realize that good education is a fundamental requisite for their child to grow into a mature adult and lead a life of financial stability, social status, and respectability. This is the reason that the parents of today take so much pain in seeking admission for their child in reputed institutions, even for kindergarten classes.

The ancient science of astrology can give enough indications about a child’s education, in all its aspects, and thus prove to be a boon for the concerned parents.

Let us learn in brief about such astrological indications and how these are reflected in the structure of a person’s horoscope.

Horoscopic Houses and Education

There are 2 Houses of the horoscope which can principally tell about a person’s education. These are the 4th House and the 9th House. While the 4th denotes basic education, the 9th reflects higher education. However, 2 more Houses, the 2nd and the 5th, should also be considered while studying a horoscope for the native’s educational pursuits.

The 4th House stands for school education and also for the child’s grasping power. If this House is strongly placed in a person’s horoscope and or if the planetary Lord of the House is strong and auspicious; or if benefic planets are either placed in or aspect, that is, cast their glance at this House, the child is likely to make a good start to his or her educational career, being bright in the school. However, the association of the House with any negative aspect can impact the basic education of the native child and even result in breaks, in some extreme cases.

The 9th House represents higher studies and can denote post-graduation level education, professional courses, research work, and doing Ph.D., doctorate, etc. This House should be strong, or ruled by or associated with benefic planets for the child to pursue higher education and excel in it in the future. As this House also denotes long-distance connections, a good 9th House can enable the native to study in reputed institutions abroad.

Now let us come to the 2nd House. It reflects primary education and can include preschool, kindergarten, etc. When this House is favorably placed or is associated with auspicious planets, the child should have a fruitful and enjoyable start to the long educational journey.

The 5th House of a natal chart, as such, denotes the child, intelligence, memory power, analytical frame of mind, and artistic skills. As these attributes remain the essential ingredients of any successful educational pursuit, a study of this House assumes significance in foreseeing, especially the higher secondary school and college education. If this House is well-placed in a horoscope; or is associated with Mercury, the planet of intellect, or Jupiter, the planet representing higher education, it may prove highly beneficial for the child’s studies.

Apart from these Houses, the 8th House can also be analyzed while looking for a child’s future education. Though not regarded very auspicious, this House denotes learning specialized subjects like astrology and occult sciences and can reveal the knowledge and expertise that the native may acquire in such fields in the future.

What the Planets Can Reveal?

Some of the planets and their placements in a horoscope can also indicate about education and its line or discipline, in which the child can perform and shine well in the long run.
Mercury, when strongly placed, can bestow good computing and analytical abilities on the natives, and such people should do well in the financial domain. Mercury’s association with the Sun can give rise to Budh Aditya Yoga, which can give the child a sharp intellect.

A favorable Jupiter can bestow wisdom and make the child pursue higher education and shine in fields like philosophy, spirituality, or religion.

Planet Mars represents surgery, and so a child with a strong Mars in the horoscope can hope to do well in the medical line. When Venus also remains strong along with Mars, the child can be seen as a budding engineer, as the future prospects remain very good for engineering in such a scenario.

The 10th House of a horoscope denotes job or career, and when the planet Saturn gets associated with this House, the child can become a good lawyer in the future.
