Based on the horoscope of the businessman, the astrologer can determine what product will bring success to the business.

In regard to the name of the business, the astrologer can verify that the relationship between the rashi (house) of the business' first letter and the rashi (house) of the businessman is complimentary. If the rashis (houses) clash, the business will collapse. For example, consider a businessman with the first name of John. In Vedic astrology the letter "J" belongs to the sign Capricorn (Saturn). What if John were to start a company with the name "Universal …”? The letter "U" signifies Scorpio (Mars) and Saturn and Mars are dire enemies in Vedic astrology. In order to have harmony between the business and the businessman, the first letters of the two should be friendly.

The numerological total of a particular business' name should be in harmony with the numerological total of the business owner's name. Numerology is extremely important in determining the success of any business. Here is an example: "Bill Gates" is the owner of "Microsoft". If we add the numbers represented by the letters in the above names, both “Bill Gates” and “Microsoft” add to six. The number six signifies the planet Venus; Venus represents luxury and material success.

After a business name has been selected, one must look for the perfect location, a harmonious business address, bank, checking account number and telephone number.

Finally, the astrologer must discern an auspicious date and time for starting the business.

Numbers are an integral part of our lives; according to the laws of karma, even our breaths are numbered. From paupers to preachers, all live by numbers. If you are feeling lucky, playing those six lucky numbers in the lottery can make you into a millionaire. If you are short on luck, however, you could lose it all gambling, in business or in stocks on Wall Street.

While 7 is considered lucky by the majority, 13 is considered unlucky. Christians consider 666 to be the number of the Devil. In Islam 768 is taken as a godly number that brings luck. If we add 768 to 666, they add up to 1434; when we add 1+4+3+4, we get 12 and 1+2=3. When we subtract 666 from 786, they come to 102; when we add 1+2, the answer is 3. In a nutshell: whether we add or subtract the devil's number to God's number, we end up with 3. The number 3 belongs to the planet Jupiter and stands for all matters related to spirituality.

Sun=1; It is no surprise that because Sun stands for power, 1 does, too. Look within and you will find that all your longings, passions and cravings are number 1 in this world, whether your goal is to be the president or the preacher.

Jupiter is 3 and again it is no surprise that the basis of all religions is dependent on the number 3. Christianity has the trinity, the union of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost into one Godhead. Hinduism has Bramha, Vishnu and Mahesh—the Creator, Protector and Destroyer, respectively. Even the symbol for Aum is an offshoot of the number 3.
