Astrology is a science of tendencies and predictions. It does not imply fatalism or absolute predomination. Hence, it is only one’s natural aptitudes or learning for specific occupations that can be known from the horoscope. No astrological factors can be fixed for each Vocation..
For the purpose of understanding and study we can classify various occupations into 6 broad categories.

1. Intellectual Avocations
2. Economic Avocations
3. Aesthetic Avocations
4. Routing Works
5. Mechanical Professions
6. Trades
The classification is not very much digitalized as it is difficult to draw a line of distinction between different categories. For example, An author whose main work is intellectual may spend part of his time in printing and composing or Insurance business. Here it is a combo of intellectual and economic avocations. Also we can see a teacher shifting from teaching to business. This can be explained by the fact that there is a certain kind of stimulus to qualities at certain ages depending on the dashas and bhuktis.
This Major Categories will be further grouped under sub categories in next blog.
