I turn 32 next year and have one UPSC attempt and two SSC attempts left. Which of them does my chart support the most?

Share your birth date, time and place, please. I will lay your antardashas and the Saturn and Jupiter transits from your Moon over each of those exam months and tell you which ones I read as stronger.

Type your question

Example of a consultation about government job on Kismo

Short answer

Close to the age limit, astrologers read the few exam cycles left: the running dasha and antardasha, and Saturn and Jupiter counted from your Moon, as Phaladeepika does ⁵⁶. Check your relaxation first: central rules add 5 years for SC and ST, 3 for OBC and 10 for disabled candidates, and none for EWS ¹². On Kismo, verified Vedic astrologers read your last windows by chat or call, online from anywhere.

Key facts

What are the key facts about government job?

	Answer
The question	With one to three cycles left before my age limit, which attempts does my chart favour?
Central age relaxations	SC/ST +5 years, OBC +3, disabled candidates +10 (13 OBC, 15 SC/ST, never past 56), EWS none ¹²
Attempt caps, civil services	General 6, OBC and disabled 9, SC and ST no cap within the age limit ³
What an astrologer checks	The dasha and antardasha in each remaining cycle, Saturn and Jupiter from the Moon, the 10th lord's strength
What to bring	Birth date, exact time and place, your category, and the cut-off date in each exam notice
Session on Kismo	From ₹15 a minute, 5 free minutes in the first session, online from anywhere in India and abroad

What gets checked

What does an astrologer check when the age limit is close?

The antardasha in each remaining exam month. Phaladeepika 20.11 reads a strong 10th lord's dasha as a time undertakings reach completion ⁶.
Whether the dasha lord is weak. Phaladeepika 20.19 says efforts bear little fruit in the dasha of a weak 10th lord, so an astrologer weighs which attempt falls where ⁶.
Saturn from the Moon. Phaladeepika 26.22 reads Saturn in the 3rd from the Moon as gain of position or employment ⁵.
Jupiter from the Moon. Phaladeepika 26.19 and 26.20 read Jupiter in the 5th as royal favour and in the 11th as a new position and honour ⁵.
The vedha houses. Phaladeepika 26.5 and 26.7 cancel a good Saturn or Jupiter transit when the matching vedha houses are occupied ⁵.

Your situation

What changes the answer when your age limit is close?

Your category. An OBC candidate gets 3 more years, an SC or ST candidate 5, and an EWS candidate none, under the central rules ¹².
Disability or past service. Disabled candidates get 10 to 15 extra years, capped at 56, and ex-servicemen can deduct military service from their age for many posts ¹.
One-time relaxations. RRB Group D 2025 raised its limit from 33 to 36 for that round only ⁴, so a limit can move for a single cycle.
Your Moon sign. The transit reading counts Saturn and Jupiter from the Moon ⁵, so the same month reads differently for different people.

By the numbers

When do Saturn and Jupiter change signs before 2030?

Saturn moves from Pisces into Aries on 3 June 2027, and Jupiter changes sign eight times between November 2026 and the end of 2029. The dates were calculated from public astronomical data with the open-source astronomia library, sidereal Lahiri zodiac, checked day by day.

Date	Planet	Change
25 Jan 2027	Jupiter	Back into Cancer, retrograde
3 Jun 2027	Saturn	Into Aries
26 Jun 2027	Jupiter	Into Leo
21 Oct 2027	Saturn	Back into Pisces, retrograde
27 Nov 2027	Jupiter	Into Virgo
24 Feb 2028	Saturn	Into Aries for the long stay
25 Jul 2028	Jupiter	Into Virgo again, after a retrograde return to Leo
27 Dec 2028	Jupiter	Into Libra
9 Aug 2029	Saturn	Into Taurus, briefly, before a return to Aries on 6 Oct 2029

On 1 November 2026, Saturn is in Pisces and Jupiter in Leo by the same calculation. Exam cycles that straddle these dates can read differently from one attempt to the next.

The real picture

How do age limits and relaxations work for government jobs?

Age relaxation for central government posts is set by a set of Department of Personnel orders, compiled on 6 September 2022 ¹. SC and ST candidates get 5 extra years for every post filled by direct recruitment, under a 1974 notification ¹. OBC candidates get 3, under orders from 1993 and 1995 ¹.

Group	Extra years on the upper age limit [1]
SC and ST	5
OBC	3
Persons with disabilities, 40% or more	10; 13 if OBC; 15 if SC or ST; age never over 56
Central government employees, Group C	Up to 40 years of age (45 for SC/ST) after 3 years' service
Widows, divorced or judicially separated women	Up to 35 years of age (40 for SC/ST) for many Group C posts
Ex-servicemen, all-India competitive exams for Group A and B	Up to 5 years

EWS candidates get no relaxation. In April 2026 the Delhi High Court held that they cannot claim parity with SC, ST and OBC candidates on age or attempts ².

Attempts are capped separately for the civil services, which take graduates aged 21 to 32 before any relaxation ⁷. The Bombay High Court upheld unlimited attempts for SC and ST candidates within the age bar in February 2025, against six for general and nine for OBC candidates ³.

A Kismo astrologer can read which of your last attempts falls in a stronger dasha and transit. A Kismo astrologer cannot change your eligibility or confirm a relaxation; the exam notice and your certificates decide those.

Transit windows

For which Moon signs do Saturn and Jupiter read as favourable in 2027 to 2029?

Saturn reads as favourable for career when it is 3rd, 6th or 11th from your Moon, and Jupiter when it is 2nd, 5th, 7th, 9th or 11th, in Phaladeepika chapter 26 ⁵. The Moon signs below were counted from the calculated transit signs, before any vedha check.

Transit	Moon signs where it reads as favourable	Phaladeepika's career wording [5]
Saturn in Pisces, to June 2027 and Oct 2027 to Feb 2028	Capricorn (3rd), Libra (6th), Taurus (11th)	3rd: position or employment; 11th: wealth
Saturn in Aries, Feb 2028 to Aug 2029	Aquarius (3rd), Scorpio (6th), Gemini (11th)	3rd: position or employment; 11th: wealth
Jupiter in Leo, to Jan 2027 and Jun to Nov 2027	Cancer, Aries, Aquarius, Sagittarius, Libra	Aries (5th): royal favour; Libra (11th): new position
Jupiter in Virgo, Nov 2027 to Dec 2028, apart from a return to Leo	Leo, Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn, Scorpio	Taurus (5th): royal favour; Scorpio (11th): new position
Jupiter in Libra, from Dec 2028	Virgo, Gemini, Aries, Aquarius, Sagittarius	Gemini (5th): royal favour; Sagittarius (11th): new position

These transits are only one layer. Many astrologers give the dasha more weight than transits, and the vedha rule can cancel a good transit for one person and not another ⁵⁶.

Myths and facts

What do people get wrong about this?

Belief: If my chart is good, the age limit will be relaxed for me.

Relaxations follow your category, disability or service, as fixed in the government orders ¹. EWS candidates get none ², whatever the chart shows.

Belief: Saturn's transit alone decides whether my last attempt succeeds.

Phaladeepika reads Saturn's good transits as cancelled when the vedha houses are occupied ⁵, and it reads results mainly through the dasha ⁶. No one transit settles an attempt.

Before you pay anyone

How do you know an astrologer is genuine?

Every Kismo astrologer passes four steps: qualification review, panel interview, live audits of real sessions, 30-day probation.
Nobody can guarantee an outcome. Treat any promise of a fixed result as a red flag.
Never pay for an expensive puja or ritual under pressure. Get a second opinion first.
On Kismo you only pay for the minutes you use; misconduct, pressure or a request for money outside the app is handled by a person.

FAQ

Questions people ask

Will I get a government job before my age limit according to astrology?

Astrology cannot promise a government job before your age limit. An astrologer can read which of your remaining exam months fall in a stronger dasha and better Saturn and Jupiter transits from your Moon. Use that to choose where to put your effort, while your preparation and the exam decide the result.

I am 30 and still have no government job. Is it too late for me?

At 30 it is not too late for many government jobs, depending on your category and the exam. Civil services allow general candidates up to 32, OBC candidates 3 more years and SC and ST candidates 5 more. Check each notice's cut-off date, then ask an astrologer which remaining cycles your chart favours.

Which planet's transit helps in getting a government job?

Saturn and Jupiter are the transits astrologers watch most for a government job. Phaladeepika reads Saturn in the 3rd from the Moon as gain of position or employment, and Jupiter in the 11th as a new position and honour. The dasha running at the same time usually carries more weight in the reading.

How quickly can I get a reading on Kismo before my exam form deadline?

On Kismo the average first reply comes in 9 seconds, so you can ask before a form deadline. Each astrologer sets one rate from ₹15 a minute, and the first session carries 5 free minutes with no card needed. Bring your birth details and the cut-off dates from each notice.

Someone says a costly ritual will extend my luck before the age limit. Should I do it?

No, do not pay for a costly ritual under the pressure of an age limit. No ritual changes your eligibility or guarantees a selection. Get a second opinion before paying for any ritual. On Kismo, after a session the app suggests up to three other astrologers you can ask.
