When will my fortune rise?

Many times, people ask when their destiny will unfold or when they will experience progress in life.

In astrology, the ninth house in a horoscope is considered to bring luck. It governs aspects such as fortune, spiritual progress, pilgrimages, philosophy, intelligence, gurus, reputation, long-distance travel, and foreign tours.

When considering the influence of transiting planets, the timing of their impact on one’s fortune can be seen through specific years.

For example, the Moon in the 9th house often brings favorable results. A person with this placement is likely to be a social activist, skilled in interactions, popular, respected, and fond of traveling. Opportunities to travel domestically and internationally are common. Fortune for such individuals often begins at age 24, though significant progress generally comes later in life, around midlife. They are likely to be intellectual and virtuous.

Let’s explore the years associated with various planets for good fortune:

  • For those with Jupiter as Bhagyesh, fortunes begin at 16.
  • With the Sun, it’s 22.
  • The Moon brings fortune at 24.
  • Venus at 25.
  • Mars at 28.
  • Mercury at 32.
  • Saturn at 36.
  • Rahu influences fortunes around 42-45.

If Mars is in the ninth or tenth house in Leo, such individuals often see early career success.

When Saturn or Jupiter is retrograde and positioned in the ninth house, these planets form strong yogas for good fortune in their respective dasa.

If Jupiter is placed immediately after Saturn in a person’s horoscope, they may begin earning between ages 21 and 22.

Third and Tenth Houses in the Horoscope

A person with many planets in the third or tenth house is considered fortunate. According to astrologers, such individuals achieve success in their field more quickly.

Positions of Jupiter, Mars, and Venus

For those with Jupiter in Aries, Mars in Capricorn, and Venus in the ninth house, their careers often reach great heights.

If the Sun and Moon are in Cancer, Venus in the eighth house, and Mars in the eleventh, the person may achieve widespread fame.

In Ashtakavarga, if the ninth house has high points, the person enjoys good fortune.

Sometimes, a strong Lagna (ascendant) doesn’t bring progress due to a weak ninth house or lack of luck. Some people experience good fortune after marriage, receiving support from their partner.
