Covid brought with it death, despair, job loss for workers and daily-wage labourers, revenue losses for businesses and even closing down of many shops, malls and business. But it was indeed a dream period for those who could Work From Home(WFH). Apart from essential services many of the jobs related to IT, HR, customer service, media, banking and even court cases where done with help of laptop, camcorder and video communication apps.

     Most of those people who got used to wearing pyjamas and attending zoom meetings had a very tough time when companies stopped WFH and recalled everyone back to office. A few were not willing to go back and decided to look for WFH alternatives.

     Capricorn is the tenth sign and natural sign of career house(tenth house). Cancer is the fourth sign and natural sign of house of home and shelter(fourth house). Based on Vedic Astrology, Saturn on 26th January 2020 entered Capricorn Sign and aspected Cancer Sign which resulted in work(capricorn) from home(cancer). As always all good things must come to an end. Most people were recalled to work in 2021 or 2022 itself. With Saturn moving into Aquarius around Mid-January 2023 there are high chances that most companies will ditch WFH and recall most of their employees to offices where a certain amount of discipline and fear of superiors will keep productivity higher.

     Analytical studies may paint a rosy picture but results of top companies like Twitter and Yahoo who had encouraged WFH suggests otherwise. Twitter has been facing severe losses and Elon Musk recalled all employees moment he took over as head. Earlier Yahoo was also running into severe losses and its CEO Marissa Mayer stopped WFH and recalled all its employees to offices. Results of few top companies like Meta and Apple who are still open to WFH for certain days remains to be seen in next few years.

     There are horoscopes which can allow work from home. All one needs to check is whether business house(seventh house) lord, service house(sixth house) or career house lord have any association with fourth house or not. Below are example horoscope of individuals who have the privilage of working from home. If such co-relation exists in ones horoscope than such natives can work from home and still earn good salary.

     Above provided chart is of a highly successful female native who migrated to US from India. She did her Masters and later MBA and has been working for top companies in the pharma and biotechnology sector. She also has to travel abroad several times to her firms offshore locations. While she does occassionaly go to her workplace its possible for her to WFH on routine days.

     Reason is fourth house lord Mercury doing NBRY in career house and placed with exalted Venus doing Malavya Yoga. And both Venus and Mercury are aspecting her fourth house of shelter from career house. This connection of fourth house with career house allows her to WFH while still drawing top salary due to connection between income house(eleventh house) lord Mars and career house lord Jupiter in ascendant.

     Above provided horoscope is of a small time website developer. This native has fourth house lord Mars aspecting career house. And both ascendant lord Saturn as well as business house lord Moon aspecting fourth house which allows him to work from comfort of his home. While he has rented offices and currently converted his small flat into an office he has been able to skip office and work from luxury of his home on several occasions.

     Connection between fourth house, career house and business house does allow him to WFH irrelevant of his income and career prestige.

     Natives who desire to work from home should have business house or career house lord influencing fourth house via placement or aspect. Alternatively fourth house lord should be placed in career house or business house and having some association with career or business house lord.

     There are exceptions like people who are successful stock traders and social media influencers who can WFH or atleast do not require to go to offices but most others wouldn't get the kind of income without going regularly to offices.

     Some natives do convert their homes into workplace with chairs, tables, billboards and other office amenities. But that house cannot be called a home afterwards. It becomes a chaotic work place with no peace of mind with only sleeping and eating possible after working hours. And most likely they have to pay commercial taxes even for their homes.
