The biggest misconception about astrology is that it does not care or has a place for efforts. It is not true. In fact, In the horoscope, the houses 3,6,10,11 are called as upachaya houses; meaning the houses that grow with time , the houses that grow when one does sustained efforts.
The connection between these houses and their lords will show the success that you will get after efforts. The connection means any yoga, aspect, conjunction etc. between the planet placed into them or their lords.
If you have Aquarius lagna/ Ascendant and then your upachaya lords are Mars, Moon, and Jupiter. If you have Leo Lagana then your uapchaya houses lords are Venus Saturn and Mercury. In both cases, If your chart as any connection of these planets your continuous efforts will bring fruits.
Have patience and keep working.
Saturn is the planet that makes us work hard, it is the planet of efforts. Mercury is our ability to learn different skills. We have to make efforts to learn different skills so that we can be successful. This works well in addition to what skills that are inborn. Skills that are natural to us can also be honed when we make practice.
The Nakshatra of Ardra denotes the Yatnashakti. Success comes to those who make efforts.
Destiny is the outcome of these efforts and the proportion of success.
