Divisional Chart - Dashamsha (D10)

 The 10th house – House of Action/ Social Status/Fame /Authority/Career/ Honours

 

The very general understanding about this house is that it deals with your Job and your capacity to earn, I would say “NO”, Job as a mere service and vocation are handled by 6th house and income is handled by 2nd, 9th and 11th house, 6th house gives us the basic opportunity to work or gain some job and earn like most people do, and most of them remain in that status for most of their lives, because most of them have an empty 10th house, or a weak 10th house, with one Graha / planet which might also be very weak or ordinary in its disposition, so what makes this 10th house so special, this house/house is house of action, it tells us how a native would act in the society, how his actions are reflected by the society, what kind of reputation he/she will carry with respect to the society, and what kind of fame /honors /awards those actions would bring to the native, and how strong is the natives Self-respect, meaning how much value the native gives to Self-respect, it has nothing to do with how robust he/she looks, Mars, Sun, Mercury, Jupiter, Moon, Saturn, Venus, Rahu, and Ketu all have some or other beneficial effect in this house.

 

Mars, Sun, Jupiter and Mercury are the main planets which get undue respect and importance or role to play in the native life, it is like loading an ordinary car with all kinds of equipment, and once loaded it needs a strong character to drive it, it is something like that, Profession and career are at the base level, role in public office and nation as a society stands at the top level of this house, meaning a President of a Nation might not have any Graha /Planet in this house, because for such a President the presidency is just a Job to earn some money and not to use that opportunity to pool all actions towards a constructive nation building. Another President with loaded 10th house might do something so considerable and positive or negative also, depending on the auspiciousness of this house.

A note to remember on10th house of D1 chart

In a horoscope, if Saturn is influencing the 10th house, no matter how beneficial he is in the horoscope, Saturn will give struggles to the native to come up in life. Saturn causes trouble to one’s career when he is either posited in the 10th itself or in the 4th house in the horoscope. For such natives to have an initial breakthrough in career they will have to cross many hurdles. But they will slowly get into the rhythm and will rise to a very strong position in professional life. They will have to put extra efforts to achieve success. But as stated above the trouble is only in the initial stage and that experience will help the native stand hard as a rock against any odd situations in career in the future. If Saturn is posited in the Lagna then his aspect over the 10th also will create problems in the same passion as stated above but such persons will be slightly lucky with lesser amount of struggles.

 

However, Saturn’s position in the 8th house in a Vedic horoscope and the 3rd aspect/drishti over the 10th house is bad yoga. In such cases the person will have to go through all adversities in life to get settled in a career. Instability in career will be the most worrying factor for the native irrespective of the line of profession. Such natives may be having great abilities in their profession but will have to face frustrations in life because of the lack of fortune they may have. Likewise, when Saturn’s dasha is on even though he has no role to do with the 10th house one may face many hardships regarding profession. But if he is a benefic for that horoscope then there will be good rewards for the native for his hard work towards the end of the dasha especially in the sub period of Jupiter.

 

The combined influence of Sun-Saturn in the 10th house is bad for career. Special reference has to be made about the influence of Saturn over Sun who is in the Lagna or the 10th house in a horoscope by means of aspect or yoga. If Saturn is influencing Sun as above, one will have a downfall in career at least once in life adversely affecting the name and respect of the native in the society. Interestingly, such natives will face this downfall most likely when transit Saturn affects the natal Sun.
