I am 21 and want to join the CRPF or the state police. My physical is strong but I failed the written test once. What does my kundli say?

Please share your birth date, time and place. I will look at your Mars, your 10th and 6th houses, and the dasha around your next written test and physical test.

Example of a consultation about government job on Kismo

Short answer

Astrologers read a police, army or paramilitary job from Mars, which Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra calls the commander of the planets ⁶, together with the 10th house and the dasha in your exam year. The windows are short: SSC GD constable asks for ages 18 to 23 ², and NDA for candidates born within a three-year span ⁴. On Kismo, verified Vedic astrologers read your chart for uniformed service by chat or call, online from anywhere.

What gets checked

What does an astrologer check for a police or army job?

Mars, the commander. Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra 3.14 gives Mars the rank of commander in the planetary court ⁶.
Mars in the navamsha of the 10th lord. Phaladeepika 5.4 links a Mars navamsha to weapons and fighting in battles ⁷.
Mars near the 10th house. Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra 27.7 counts the directional strength of the Sun and Mars from the 4th, so both are strongest in the 10th ⁸.
The Sun for rank. The Sun is a king in the same verse that makes Mars the commander, so officer entries are read with the Sun as well ⁶.
The dasha in the year of your written and physical tests, because the age window often allows only a few attempts.

Your situation

What changes the answer for someone aiming at the police or the armed forces?

Constable or officer entry. Constable posts lean on Mars and the 6th house of contests; officer entries such as NDA add the Sun's rank ⁶.
Your age today. SSC GD closes at 23 ², and NDA admits only a three-year birth band ⁴, so the reading may cover one or two cycles.
Whether you are a woman applicant. Women had 2,020 of SSC GD's 25,487 posts in 2026 ¹, and NDA exempts women from the fee ⁴.
Marital status for officer entry. NDA admits only unmarried candidates ⁴, which matters when marriage timing is also being read.

By the numbers

How many posts are there in a CAPF constable round, force by force?

The CISF had more than half of the 25,487 SSC GD constable posts in 2026, about 57%. The table gives each force's posts for men and women ¹.

Force, SSC GD 2026	Posts for men	Posts for women
CISF	13,135	1,460
CRPF	5,366	124
SSB	1,764	0
Assam Rifles	1,556	150
ITBP	1,099	194
BSF	524	92
SSF	23	0

After the written test, 1,97,408 candidates were shortlisted for the physical tests, 15,782 of them women ³. That is about 9% of the 21,56,776 who sat the exam ³, and close to eight candidates for every post.

The real picture

What does getting into the police or the armed forces involve today?

A constable post in the central armed police forces is filled through SSC GD, open to Class 10 pass candidates aged 18 to 23 ². The 2026 notice came out on 11 December 2025, and applications closed on 31 December ².

The selection has four stages: a computer-based test, a physical endurance and standard test, a medical examination and document checks ⁹. A strong written score alone does not decide it.

Officer entry through NDA starts much younger. The NDA and NA (I) 2026 round offered 394 places, 208 of them in the Army, for unmarried candidates born between 1 July 2007 and 1 July 2010 ⁴. Many applicants are still in school.

NDA and NA (I) 2026 wing	Places [4]
Army	208
Air Force, flying	92
Navy	42
Naval Academy, 10+2 cadet entry	24
Air Force, ground duties technical	18
Air Force, ground duties non-technical	10

State police hiring is the largest of all, and it has been disrupted. UP's constable exam for 60,244 posts was cancelled after a paper leak in February 2024; nearly 16 lakh women had taken that first exam ⁵.

A Kismo astrologer can read your Mars and the dasha around your written and physical tests. A Kismo astrologer cannot judge your fitness or medical standard; a coach and the force's own physical test do that.

What people ask

Which planet is for a police or army job in astrology?

Mars is the planet most astrologers name for a police or army job, because Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra makes it the commander ⁶. Other planets change the kind of uniformed role astrologers read.

Planet	Role astrologers link it to	Classical basis
Mars	Soldier, constable, field and combat roles	Commander, BPHS 3.14 ⁶; weapons and battle, Phaladeepika 5.4 ⁷
Sun	Officer rank, command, administration in uniform	King, BPHS 3.14 ⁶; strongest in the 10th, BPHS 27.7 ⁸
Saturn	Long service, discipline, security and guard duty	Servant, BPHS 3.15 ⁶
Mercury	Signals, accounts and technical branches	Prince, BPHS 3.14 ⁶

Myths and facts

What do people get wrong about this?

Belief: Only someone with a manglik chart can join the army or police.

Manglik dosha is a marriage reading of Mars in certain houses; recruitment has no such rule. Astrologers read Mars for uniformed careers through its rank as commander and its strength ⁶⁸.

Belief: If Mars is strong, the physical test is a formality.

The SSC GD selection includes a physical endurance test, a physical standard test and a medical ⁹. Only about 9% of written-test candidates reached the physical stage in 2026 ³.

FAQ

Questions people ask

How can I tell from my birth chart whether a career in the police suits me?

Astrologers look for a police job yoga in a strong Mars linked to the 10th house or its lord, with the 6th house for contests. Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra ranks Mars as the commander of the planets. These signs show a leaning towards uniformed work; the written, physical and medical tests decide the selection.

Does Mars in the 10th house mean I will join the army?

No, Mars in the 10th house does not mean you will join the army. Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra gives Mars directional strength there, so astrologers read drive and courage at work. The same placement appears in charts of people in many fields, so an astrologer reads it with the 10th lord, the navamsha and the dasha.

I am 17 and want to apply for NDA. Can an astrologer help me decide?

An astrologer can tell you how your chart reads Mars and the Sun, but at 17 the decision belongs with your parents and teachers too. NDA admits only a three-year birth band, so talk to them about preparation and the medical standards. A school counsellor can help with stream and fitness planning, free of cost.

How much does it cost to ask about a police or army career on Kismo?

A question about a police or army career on Kismo costs the astrologer's rate, from ₹15 a minute, and the first session carries 5 free minutes. Kismo is an app where you talk to verified Vedic astrologers by chat or call, in 16 languages. Only the minutes you use are charged from your wallet.

Someone says a Hanuman puja costing ₹11,000 will get me selected in the police. Is it true?

No, no puja can guarantee a police selection, and an expensive puja sold as a guarantee is a red flag. Simple daily prayer costs nothing if it helps you stay steady. Get a second opinion before paying for any ritual. On Kismo, an astrologer who asks for money outside the app is reported to a person.

I failed the physical test and feel like giving up. Who can I talk to?

You can talk to Tele-MANAS on 14416, a free government helpline that runs 24/7 in 20 languages. Tell your family or a coach how you feel, and ask the coach what the test results show. Many candidates qualify on a later attempt within the age limit.
