Many people message me saying they are jobless because they are going through a Saturn or Rahu period. However, long-term unemployment is not always caused by planetary positions. Astrology can indicate phases of difficulty, low confidence, or less dignified work—but it does not usually cause unemployment lasting over a year.
Do Saturn or Rahu Cause Joblessness?
A tough transit involving Saturn or Rahu may create challenges such as:
But these transits do not block opportunities permanently.
Why? Because other planets keep moving fast:
Even during a difficult Saturn–Rahu period, these faster-moving planets create new chances. In most charts, a maximum of six months is enough to regain employment—even if the job is less than ideal.
So why do many people today remain jobless for one year or more?
The Real Cause of Long-Term Joblessness
Extended unemployment is less about astrology and more about economic conditions, especially in India.
1. Weak Employment Generation
India's current economic policies do not prioritize job creation. New industries are not growing at the pace needed to absorb the large educated workforce.
2. Declining Manufacturing Sector
Manufacturing in India faces:
-
Low investment
-
High competition
-
Slower growth
This directly reduces job opportunities, even for skilled individuals.
3. Oversupply of Skilled Workers
There are far more qualified people than available jobs.
The situation is simple:
If there are 4 pieces of bread and 10 people, things are tight.
But if there are 4 pieces of bread and 50 people, things are impossible.
This is why even those under good transits—Venus, Jupiter, or the Sun—struggle to find work matching their qualifications.
4. Free Market Challenges
In a free-market system:
Employees often face long-term pressure, regardless of their horoscope.
5. Global Economic Competition
Indian industries compete with:
-
China
-
Europe
-
The United States
This increases pressure on local businesses and limits job growth. Even highly experienced professionals can face unpredictable career swings.
As these trends continue over the next decade, more people will blame Saturn or Rahu—when the true cause is economic imbalance.
Conclusion: It’s Not Always the Planets
In today’s job market, up to 90% of people face economic stress, regardless of astrological factors. When job scarcity is severe, someone has to take the blame—either the stars or the skills.
But the truth is:
-
Astrology can show phases of difficulty
-
It cannot create long-term unemployment
-
The real causes are economic policies, market limitations, and global competition
Understanding this helps people avoid fear and make practical decisions.
