c) Capabilities by virtue of practice: planets in trines to 10th house of D-9. That means placed in 2,6,10 in D-9.

Birth Time Rectification
Assume Venus, Sun and Moon are in trines to each other in Navamsa. You can move the lagna to find if the person is a singer or a teacher.
A teacher would typically have moon and venus in 2,6,10 houses. A singer would have Sun and Moon in 1,5,9 houses from the navamsa lagna. From the Karakamsa Lagna - one may be passionate about these talents, but do not have them yet in this life.
This is because a teacher primarily uses these skills to earn money. While a singer, has singing as an inherent talent – since singing needs a melodious voice, which is a god’s gift and cannot be acquired.
