Introduction
This book seeks to present a systematic study of the tenth house. In the prepara
tion of this book, a great number of ancient and modern bookshave been consulted
.The intention is to study the subject of Astrolory scientifically. The study of
any scienceis based on experiments, observationsand inferences. Every science g
rows on the basis of the work of the predecessors, who devotedtheir lives to stu
dy, research,practice and teaching. We grve the material from the works of the a
ncient seers. But the rules given by them have some limitations. In thoee days,
there were not so many professions as we have these-dap. Therefore, it calls for
fresh study, research,analysis and conclusions.In addition we have given the op
inions of western authors that are basedon research studiee. We harrc cpllected
material fiom a large number of bmks by great authorities and best writers both
oriental and western on the subject. Good number of exampleshave been added to i
llus. trate the principlee. And in each, we do find the tnrth of Astrological pr
inciples becomingprominent. We hopethat thirs will arouse interest in the etuden
ts for further study and research. There can be differencesof opinion among echo
larson the subject. If they are pointed out, we shall be happy to record new opi
nions if found convincing.

In the north Indian method, the sigrrs are indicated by numbers. The lagna, here
, is the sigr indicated by 2 i.e., Taurus. The counting is done in the anticlock
wise direction. Thus, the fourth house falls in the sign 5 i.e., Leo. In the sev
enth house, i.e., the sign Vrischika (Scorpio), Saturn is posited. The tenth hou
se falls in the sign of Aquarius. The south Indian pattern is given on the rigth
side. Here the signs are fixed. In this book, we follow this as this is widely
used now-a-days in all parts of India. Readensshould familiarise with both metho

. These divisions are extremely important in prodictive astrolory. Each star ext
ends over fpur Navamshas. Each NaVamsha denotes a portion of zodiac of length 3'
20'. The true longitudesof the planets, can be easi\ obtained from standard panc
hangasor ephemerislike those of Lahiri. They should be enteredin the form of a t
able, denoting the star and star lord for each planet. Exaltation

The Navamsha chakra is very important for arriving at correct ctnclusions. One c
annot arive at the results Qerely following the Rasi chart. Planets in Vargothth
ama become auspicious. Lagna in Vargoththama navamsha makes one fortunate. QIq q
tffi Erq - Mihira). A planet though weak in nasi, if farrcurably poeited in the
Navamshadiagram, derives
12
PrcfessiqnThroughAshologr
strenth. A planet may be debilitated in Rasi but may be exalted in Navamsha. The
n we cannot treat it as a bad planet. Moreover, with a little practice, by looki
ng af the Navamshd {iagram, one can know the star-lord of the planet. For these
resons the rasi chart should be always accompanied by the Navamsha chart. Each N
avamsha measures 3o20'. The first Navamsna of Aries is named Aries. The second i
s called Taurus etc, in the order of Rasis. In this wa$, the first Navamsha of T
aurus, Virgo and Capricorn will be Qapricorn. The first Navamshaof C'emrnr,Libra
, and Aquarius w-in be Libra. 'The first Navamsha of Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces
will be Cancer. The first Navamsha of Leo, Sagittarius and Aries will be Aries.
Now, frorn the true longitudes of the planets the Navamshas in which they are lo
acated can be easily calculated and the Navamsha Chakra can be drawn. Bhava Chak
ra
The Bhava Chakra should be ca-staccurately. The cusp of the houses can be calcul
ated very accurately using standard ephemeris like those of Lahiri, Raphael etc.
The Rasi chart sometimes misleads. It is not enough. When the lagna is at the b
eginning ofa sign or at the end ofa sign, one cannot arrive at correct conclusio
ns regarding the position ofplanets in houses, without the aid of the Bhava Chak
ra. A planet placed in the exact cusp of any Bhava will produce the effects of t
he house to the full extent. When it is at the ends, it gives very little eflbct
s. For other positions, we have to guess the results by the method of proportion
. The method of prepartion of the Bhava Chaka should be understood carefully fro
m standard manuals of Astrologr.

Other planets have 3/4 aspect over these houses. The aspect of benefic planets J

reatly promote the significance of the house. That house flourishes under such c

If a planet is placed in its own house, or aspects its own house, the matters si

The true longitudeeof eachplanet, at birth time, should be aeurately calculated
with the help of somestandard ephemeris or good Panchanga. The Ayanamsha used sh
ould be reoordedin the form of a table. Then, it should be found out in which gt
ar is each planet plaed. Then the lord of the star should be recorded. There is
close aonnection between the planets and their star lords. During the Dasha peri
ods also, one experiencesthe results of the star lords. If we ignore the star lo
rds and only dependupon the rasi chart, it will be moet incnmplete.Very many fac
ts cannot be explained adequately unlessthe nature of the star lord is included.
In stellar AstroloS/, even the star-lords of the various cusps of houses are cal
culated and recorded.

Chapter II
Planets and Profession
Plannets in 10th house, lord of the 10th house, those influencing Lagna, lord of
lagna, the Sun and the Moon, are all significators of profession. The signs oau
pied by the significators of profession also influence the nature of the profess
ion. Consideration of all the three lagnas - Janma lagna, Chandra lagna and the
Surya lagna is necessary. So the great writers have recommended. Varaha Mihira s
ays: t{*d: I q mears Janma lsgna, F{ means the Moon and ef* the Sun. Planets hav
ing the greatest influence over these do indicate the professions. Thus it is ne
cessary to know the professions indicated by the different planets and by the si
gns first of all. Then these have to synthesised together. For this, one has to
study a good number of horoscopes. Also, the same person will follow different o
ccupations at different periods. For this, it would be necessarlr to examine the
dasha periods he will be running. The nature of the planets vary according to t
he aspects, conjuction, placement, the signs and houses of occupation, the Navam
shas they occupy, the stars they occupy and so on. Firstly we will broadly outli
ne the jobs ascribed to each planet.

e, administration or management. It indicates people having much authoriy and po

a government service,or in the senrice of a noble man or king. The Sun indicate
s one's father. When the Sun is connected with the 10th house. One may have inco
me through his father. Or he may use his father's property as capital and thereb
y prosper. This can be so when the influence ofthe lords 9 or 5 falls on the Sun
. The Sun indicates medicines, and medical profession too. If it is a significat
or of profession, by being connected with the 10th house, and other signifrcanto
rs (like Mars) also denote the same, one may take to medical profession. Influen
ce of Mars, Kethu etc. would indicate professione connected with frre and frre a
rms. Influence ofJupiter, as lord of 9th house would point out to chantig of hym
ns and the profession of a priest. Or he may be emplbyed in a mutt or a religiou
s institution. The reason for this is, that the Sun is a satvic planet. Influenc
e of the 12th house is also to be considered here. For the twelfth house is said
to have close connection with temples because the Sun indicates timber. When it
is connected with the lord of the 4th houe, one may be supplier of timber for h
ouse construction.

Or he may be a furniture merchant as the fourth house signi' fies such matters.
Satyacharye says in his work that the Sun ruIes over business in grass or straw,
medical profession, embasey, trade in pearl and gold. Western astrologers attri
bute the following profeesione to the Sun. All positions of trust and authority,

ion may be related to frre arm6, electricity, radio etc. Note: Each profeesion i

together. Consideration should be done w.r.t. Lagna and Chandra lagna. In tfre

known as the lagna, the dashama lagna, the Surya lagna and the Chandra lagna. Th
ey exercise propound influence on one's life. But eastern as well as western aut
horities recommend their consideration and careful judgement for arriving at cor
rect conclusions. The tenth house has to be invariably judged not only from the
lagna but also from the Chandra lagna. This is considered the opinion of ancient
sages and scholars like Varahamihira. Saravali devotes a separate chapter to di

In queries regarding crops, 10th denotes the production and the crop. (Lagna sig
nifies the agriculturist, the fourth house, the land, the 7th house agriculture
and the 10th house the crop). In queries regarding diseases, the fbth house deno
tes the patient according to Tajika. (Lagna denotes physician, the seventh house
the disease,the tenth house the patient and the fourth house the medicine.) It
is said to indicate the judges, and the substance taken away by the thief. Some
judge matters regarding one's father from the 10th house. (The ancient Hindu tex
ts, however, associate the 9th house as the house ruling one'sfather. The tenth
house is connected with Iearning as it is the 7th from the 4th house. The tenth
house is intimately connected with honour moral qualities and good conduct. The
tenth house is connectedwith travels, and life in other lands (w[rq). The 9th ho
use denotes long journey, 10th house is said to indicate pilgrimages. In politic
al or mundane astrology, the 10th house indicates the king, the head of the stat
e, the administrators, external trade, import-export, the honours and reputation
of the country, the government, party in power, the leaders, political situatio
n etc. Some Authorities on this subject say that it is not enough to consider th

counted from Lagna or the Moon are to be understood as bestowers of income in t

e can be told according to the occupation indicated by the planets which rule th
e Navamashas in which the tenth house cusps from Lagna, the Moon, and the Sun fa

ery importq,nt to consider the three Lagnas: _ Janma lagna, Chandra lagna and Su
rya lagna and the plinets in the 10th house from these lagnas. Then the lord of
the Navamsha in which the lord of the 10th house counted from these lagnas is to
be considered. The results according as the planet placed in the 10th h_ous9 fr

that if the lord of lagna is placed in the 10th house and has a beneficial yoga,
the native will be very famous, have his own kingdom and have the occupation of

The planets owning the 10th house, placed in the L0th house, the karakas will pr

hey are not afllicted and are strong. In the dasha and Bhukthi of the lord of th

the planets in the 2nd house and owningthe 2nd house. The Dasha Bhukthi principl

So, we have to consider planets placed in the tenth house, the lord of the tenth
house, planets associated with these aspecting these and consider their Dasha-B

During the Da-shaof the lord of the 10th house the person concerned will success
fully complete any undertaking commenced by him. He will lead a happy life. He b
ecpmesfamous and gets a permanent position. He commands great respect. All the g
ood results are to be understood, when the planet is strong and has benefic aspe
cts, influence of benefics. Otherwise results will be different. Example: A cert
ain person gets employment in RahuKetu period. Rahu was aspected by the lord of
10th house Jupiter. Moon was conjoined with the lord of the 10th house. In the s
ign of the Moon, Kethu was placed. The nodes become stronger than the planets wh
en they are aspected or when they are placed in the signs of a planet. Thus, due
care is to be given to the planets conjoined and aspected by the lord ofthe ten
th house. In another horoscope, a person gets appointment during Rahu Dasha, Jup
iter Bhukthi. Rahu was placed in 6th house, in the sign of Mercury which was in
the 10th house. And Jupiter was placed in the star of the tenth lord. Thus we fi
nd that of the Dasha lord and Bhukthi lord are connected with 10th lord, even at
the time of getting employment. Similarly the lord of 2nd house, the planets pl
aced in the second house, planets assoclated with the lord of second house have
to be considered. Also we should consider planets aspecting these. AU theee, in
their periods and suu-periods can give wealth. See:

Also it is an established fact supported by ancient works that planets during th
eir dasha.sgive the effects of the planete in whose stars they are placed. Thus
Jupiter when placed in the star ofthe lord ofthe 10th house, can give results re

Though Janmalagna is of primary importance, in this respect, consideration of Ch
andralagna is also required. Very often planets placed in lagna or Chandra lagna
signiff the profession. In Phaladeepika it is mentioned that in the dasha of th
e strong lord of lagna, one's prosperity continuously increases. From these cons
iderations, it is clear that ascndants and planets plaeed therein have a great in
fluence over one's wealth. Strong planets placed in the lagna signiff the profes
sion. If Mercury is there, the person may earn his livelihood through writing or
teaching. When three or more auspicious planets occupy the ascendant, people bo
rn are happy, prosperous and wealthy like kings. On the other hand if three or m
ore evil planets occupy the ascendant people born are ovencomewith grief, diseas
es, fear and rejected by others. So oys Saravali (a classical text on

Chandradhiyogas,
Gajakesari yoga arises when Jupiter is in a Kendra position from the Moon. (Even
here it is with reference to Chandra I,agna). In Sakata yoga, Moon does not get
the benef,rcinfluence of Jupiter since they are in 6,8 houses mutually. , In Br

When Lagna or Moon falls in Vargothama Navarnsha and is aspected by four or more
planets, the person born is a king and twenty two different typee of Rajayogas
ariee. In Saravali, it is told that when the lord of the lagna is placed in the
Navamsha of 6th, 8th and 12th lords one becomes poor. From this discussion, it w
ill be clear that Lagna and Chandra lagna deserve close scrutiny in matters conc
erning wealth. Westerners too, attach great importance to the aspects received b
y the Sun and Moon in considering money matters. According to Pgrashara's rules
too, if malefics have conneetion with lagna in their conjoined periods loss of w
ealth has been told. This lady lost heavily during Rahu-Saturn period. Rahu acts
perhaps as an agent of Mars placed in lagna. Saturn is aspecting the lagna. Her

The house conjoined or aspected by the lord and the benefics flourishes. The hou
se occupied or aspected by malefics, decays. The hous which ie subjected to the e
vil influence of a very large number of evil planets, naturally becomesweak and
its significance becomesfeeble. In ancient times, the practice of judging the ho
roscope with respectto all the three lagnaswas very much in vogue. This becomes
clear from many verr Varahamihira in of Brihat Jataka such as 3qg{ffitffi IRcII:etc
. Even in the matter of guessing one's profession, SudarshanaPaddhati can be emp
loyedand results bejudged. It is no novel method, but only an old method taught
by our ancient sages. A planet which is a yogakaraka with respect to all the thr
ee lagnas,gets threefold power to produe beneficreeults. And one malefic with re
spectto all the three lagnas,naturally becomes extremely weak to producesignific
ant results. The planets may be divided into two sets. 1. The Sun, the Moon,Mars
and Jupiter. 2. Mercury, Venus, Saturn.
If all the three lagnae fall into either of these two sets, the results ofthe be
nefics and the Yogakarakas will be very much pronounced and of a high order. Now
we shall apply this Sudarshana Paddhati to the horoscopes of a few persons and
show the advantages of this procedure. 1. This is the horoscopeof Pt. Jawaharlal
Nehru.

The lagna, Chandra lagna and Surya lagna all are ruled by Moon and Mars, i.e., t
hey are ruled by planets of the same set. Mars is a benefic with respect to all
the three. Mars is a yogakaraka with respect to his Janma lagna and Chandra lagn
a. It is the lord of the Surya lagna also. In Mars dasha, Nehru became the vice-
president of the Indian interim govern' ment and later in the Mare dasha he beca
me the Prime Minister of India. The tenth house receives the aspect of its own l
ord Mars; Venus and Mercury and the tenth house form the Surya lagna" aspect of
Jupiter. The role of Mars as also the strength of the tenth house becomes more c
lear from considerations of Sudarshana Paddhati. For want of space, and other co
nsiderations of difficulties of preparing diagrams we do not give them. The stud
ent can easily draw thern and veriff for himself. If there is no planet in a hou
se, the aspecting planets determine the effect. If no planet aspects the house,
the lords of the house will determine the eflbcts. Parashara recommends the cons
ideration of varga,sof the planets also. If a planet is in benefic varga,its str
ength increases. Mahatma Gandhi's horosc-opeis given as e:rample. At a glance, w
e are able to see the influence of the benefic planets on the tenth house. It is
aspected by the benefics-Venus and Mercury. It is occupied by Moon and Jupiter.
All are in friendly signs. Mahatma Gandhi was a lawyer (influence of Jupiter, V
enus, and Mercury over the lOth house). He was a great leader. (MoonJupiter infl
uence). Now we will describe a rough method for judging the profession without d
rawing this diagram. Firstly, write down lagna, lord of lagrra, Chandra lagna, l
ord of Chandra lagna, Surya lagna, lord of Surya lagna, and against these enter
the names of the d i fferent planets in fl uencing these by oeupation, conjuncti
on, and aspects. The profession is determined by the planets having the maximum
influence. Or sometimes, the profession will be one indicated by the group of pl
anets influencing these lagnas to the maximum extent.

out of these the first two lagnas have to be invariably considbred. IfVenus is o

be rich. But if it is placed in the 12th house with bf""ett"" to the Chandra la

The Pqncha Maha Punrsha Yogag Varahamihira, in hig celebrated work, Brihat Jatak
a says that a person is fortunate when his birth is in Vargoththama (same sigu i
n Rasi and Navamsha), when there is a benefic planet in the Vesisthana (2nd hous
e from the Sun), when the angles are not empty and when there are Karaka planets
. Mihira's verses are full of vast meaning and Brihat Jataha is no ordinary work
. It is supposed to contain very many secret principles of Astrologr. Planets pl
aced in the Kendras, occupying their own signs, exaltation signs or Moola thriko
na signs are called Karakas with respect to each other. Out of these the one pla
ced in the tenth house merits special consideration' The Pancha mahapurusha yoga
s are respectively Ruchaka, Bhadra, Hamsa, Malavya and Sasa Mahayogas. They are
caused respectively by Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn when these plane
ts happen to occupy Kendra houses, identical with their own signs, exaltation si
gns, or Moolathrikona signs. To illustrate, Ruchaka yoga is caused when Mars oca
npies a Kendra house identical with its own sign, exaltation sign, or Moolathrik
ona sign. These five yogas have been grven great importance by almost all classi
cal writ' ers and have been included under Karakakhya yogas by Varaha Mihira. In
the horoscopes of great men, their presence is frequently noticed. And unless t
here are rrcry bad yogas' maning the horoscope, the effect of these Pancha mahap
urusha yogas seldom fails. Mantreswara says that these five yogas can be conside

ehould know the indications of the various signs. Also we hane girrcn the profe

k that profession is solely determined by the tenth housealone. It is here that
the difliculty arises. lOth house has se\ral indications. It indi' cates performa

the Chandra lagna. For in many cases, the Chandra lagna may be mor\e powerful i

the aptitudee. The horoecope to be judged as a whole. Then we should not ignore
the influences of Chandra lagna, Janma lagna and Surya lagna in guessing the pro
fession. For, the lagnqs glrc a gooddeal of information about the person. His ap
titudes, nature, and profeseionare some times indicated by the influence of plan
ets on the lagnas. For this, Sudarshana Paddhati may be adopted. Lastly, the yog
as present in the horoscopeare to be carefully noted. For, it is theseyogas whic
h rais a man to a high status in life. Infomation regardingimportant yogashasbeen
given. With the aid of these principles, we may now study some illustrative hor
oscops and ee how the profesions are indicated in theee. Readersmay collect more a

will notice the role played by planets in regard to the choiceof profession. Als
o, as we said earlier, the Navamshachart, and Bhava chart shoud be prepared and
then only the horwcope can be studied properly. The distinction between Rasi and
Bhava has to be borne in mind. Also the Naramsha Chakra ie of great importane.
A planet may appear rrery weak in the r.asi but may be strong in the Navamsha ch
art. Then we cannot think that the planet is weak. Similarly, readers would have
notied that Mihira, Satya, Farasara etc., attach great importance to Navamsha.

Thus Mars gets inmense power. Thus there is close relation between the lords of

And such a Bhagiadhipati Jupiter is aspecting the Sun. Jupiter is by nature a b
