This is a new dimension of the service of astrology to mankind.  A few years back, the chairman of an international marketing organization brought the charts of the persons heading his various departments/production units. It was found that the contribution from all of them was negative and the company showed a decline.

The need for selection of personnel for top jobs and friendly relations from astrological point of view is considered to be of utmost importance.  A person must have the capacity required for his job.  History is full of top academicians failing in practical fields.  There are professionals earning huge sums while others find it difficult even to survive.

Brilliance, good operating planetary period, good organizing capability, imagination, team work, trustworthiness and capacity to develop and trust others, alertness, good health and leading capabilities are the positive personality traits for selecting personnel for top jobs and friends and are prerequisites for a long lived success.

Today, the fast pace of life does not allow you time for experimentation.  Every minute is valuable.  So, why not take the benefit of the competence of the divine science of astrology.
Similarly, human beings have basic instincts for developing friendly relations with others for seeking reinforcement of one's decisions, guidance, emotional support and help to cope with the stresses and strains of the modern materialistic life.  But sometimes, in the process of making friends, one finds the friends chosen as a mere drain on one's scarce resources and time.  Then how to take a correct decision so that a friend proves to be a true friend.  While no science other than the astrology gives any foresight in this regard, astrology also offers a positive help.

As brought out here, the planets govern various personality traits and the strength and good positioning of the planets in one's horoscope blesses them with the fruits.  The Sun governs the capability of planning, organizing, maintaining relations with top politicians and bureaucrats, integrity and cultivating a diligent team.  The Moon governs the imagination, public relations and makes one a good host.  These are some of the attributes for a good marketing man.  Mars rules the enterprising nature, aggressiveness, alertness, killer instinct and execution very necessary for project erection managers.  Mercury rules the analytical power and communicative capabilities - best for research and development and for management services. Jupiter rules dependability, integrity, honesty, knowledge and generosity - good for personnel departments, management development programs and legal and financial advisory roles.  Venus rules artistic nature, hospitality, interactivity, teamwork and tolerance - good for people working in public relations and marketing disciplines. When we select people for jobs, we must match the job requirements and the strength of the planets in the charts of the personnel under review for ensuring success of our ventures.
