Since early days of Jyotish it has been used as an important tool in business. As Jyotish provides one with the knowledge of future the main and critical decisions about business can be made based on the guidance of Jyotish. 

    The horoscopes of the business heads are studied by the astrologer to ascertain the future graph of their businesses. Advises like when to start a new enterprise, which area to invest in, what kind of employees and partners should one have, when to have a business meeting and when not to take any decisions, etc, are given from time to time by the Jyotishi.

     To increase the profits and to minimise the losses and costs, it is always recommended to start any new enterprise when the planets are in a beneficial position for the business head. His/her own horoscope's dashas and transits must be favorable too. If the present time is not seen as favorable then some other date and period is given.

     Business partnerships do not suit everyone. So, first the Jyotishi makes sure that the individual has a suitable yoga for business partnerships or not. Or, whether to run the business as sole enterprise, a partnership or as a limited company. If there are more than one persons owning the business then their horoscopes are studied to judge whether they are compatible with each other or not. Their future graph is studied to find out how long they will be together in same business.

     Same way, when hiring key employees for your business, their horoscope must be studied to ascertain their honesty, integrity and work potential. A candidate for the job can hide his true intentions and ambitions in a job interview but his horoscope can reveal what exactly he/she can do, bad or good. Further, if the employee is good and hardworking, it is also important to know that how long he/she will be in this job. 

      There are many other uses of Jyotish in business. Given above is only a small introduction to this topic.
