13:00 Sanjay Rath Concept of Wealth and Life Part 1
What Is Wealth? It is a mental concept that measures value of total assets of worth owned by an entity. Net wealth is in the 2nd house – dhana bhava after subtracting debts of 8th house. It is a rasi (accumulation) of all treasures collected over time. Income is different – it is a flow linked partially to the work. That’s why Saturn, the lord of labour (10th house) must have a say on the income (11th house). Yet all income does not reach the wealth storage. Planned (Jupiter) and unplanned (Ketu) expenses eat into the net income. How do the planets affect all this and we still manage to keep some wealth in the family?
17:00 Andrew Foss The karakas (significators) of the 10th house of status
The tenth house has multiple karakas and each one plays a different role in our career Getting a job, doing the work, one’s earning and what appreciation you get can be differentiated through their characters. We will also look at the 7th house as the 10th from the 10th.
