Introduction
This book seeks to present a systematic study of the tenth
house. In the preparation 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 grows on the basis of the work of the
predecessors,who devotedtheir lives to study, research,practice and teaching. We grve the material from the works of the
ancient 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 opinions 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 illus.
trate the principlee. And in each, we do find the tnrth of
Astrological principles becomingprominent. We hopethat thirs
will arouse interest in the etudents for further study and
research.
There can be differencesof opinion among echolarson the
subject. If they are pointed out, we shall be happy to record
new opinions if found convincing.

In this book,we intend to presenta study of the tenth

house, the determination of one's professionand financial

position. Before entering into the suhject,we reproducehere
some of the basic principles of Astrolory for convenienceof
ready reference.
In every horoscope,there are twelve houses' The ascendant is the sign rising at the time of birth. The tenth house
representsthJzenith. The fourth houserepresentsnadir. The
seventh is the sign setting at the time of brith.
Horoscopes are cast and represented differently in
different parts of the country. The north Indian and South
Indian patterns ar as follows:

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 anticlockwise direction.
Thus, the fourth house falls in the sign 5 i.e., Leo. In the
seventh house, i.e., the sign Vrischika (Scorpio), Saturn is
posited. The tenth house 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 methods.

rules over three stars at an interval of 120. Kethu over Aswini
Magha and Moola. Venus over Bharani, Poorva Phalguni and
Purvashadha etc. Each star denotesa division of the zodiac of
length 19"20'.ThusAswini denotesa distanceof 13"20' of the
zodiac fnom 0 of Aries. These divisions are extremely important in prodictive astrolory. Each star extends 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 panchangasor ephemerislike those of
Lahiri. They should be enteredin the form of a table, denoting
the star and star lord for each planet.

The Navamsha chakra is very important for arriving at

correct ctnclusions. One cannot arive at the results Qerely
following the Rasi chart. Planets in Vargoththama become
auspicious. Lagna in Vargoththama navamsha makes one fortunate. QIq qtffi 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. Then we cannot treat it as a bad planet. Moreover, with a little practice, by looking 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 Navamsha measures 3o20'. The first Navamsna of
Aries is named Aries. The second is called Taurus etc, in the
order of Rasis. In this wa$, the first Navamsha of Taurus,
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 loacated can be easily calculated
and the Navamsha Chakra can be drawn.
Bhava

Chakra

The Bhava Chakra should be ca-staccurately. The cusp of

the houses can be calculated 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
beginning ofa sign or at the end ofa sign, one cannot arrive at
correct conclusions regarding the position ofplanets in houses,
without the aid of the Bhava Chakra.
A planet placed in the exact cusp of any Bhava will produce the effects of the house to the full extent. When it is at the
ends, it gives very little eflbcts. 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 from standard manuals of Astrologr.

All the planets aspect the ?th house from the house where
they are posited. Saturn, Jupiter and Mars hare special aspects in addition. Saturn aspects the houses and 10; Jupiter
aspects the houses 5 and 9; Mars aspects the houses 4 and 8'
These special aspects are full aspects and are very important
ones.
According to Varaha Mihira and other ancient writers, all
the planets have 1/4 aspect over the houses 3 and 10' They
have Il2 aspect over the houses 5 and 9. Arrd they have 3/4
aspect over the 4th and the 10th houses.Saturn has full aspect
over the 3rd and 10+h houses. Rest of the planets have Ll4
aspect over these houses. Similarly, Jupiter has full aspect
over the 5th and 9th houses. Rest of the planets tiave Ll2
aspect over these houses.
Mars has full aspect over the 4th and 8th houses. Other
planets have 3/4 aspect over these houses.
The aspect of benefic planets Jttpiter, Venus,:Moon and
benefic Mercury over any house is good.
Full aspect betweenbenefics is also considered io be good'
Palnets aspecting their own houses greatly promote the
significance of the house. That house flourishes under such
circumstances. In the words of Prithuysas:

If a planet is placed in its own house, or aspects its own
house, the matters signified by the house, flourish.

Multiples of 18' are oonsidered to be good, except the
square aspect.
Multiples of 30 are also consideredto be beneficial.
Stellar

Positions

The true longitudeeof eachplanet, at birth time, should be

aeurately calculated with the help of somestandard ephemeris or good Panchanga. The Ayanamsha used should be reoordedin the form of a table. Then, it should be found out in
which gtar 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 periods also,
one experiencesthe results of the star lords. If we ignore the
star lords and only dependupon the rasi chart, it will be moet
incnmplete.Very many facts 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
calculated 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 oaupied by the significators of profession also
influence the nature of the profession.
Consideration of all the three lagnas - Janma lagna,
Chandra lagna and the Surya lagna is necessary. So the great
writers have recommended. Varaha Mihira says: t{*d: I q
mears Janma lsgna, F{ means the Moon and ef* the Sun.
Planets having the greatest influence over these do indicate
the professions.
Thus it is necessary to know the professions indicated
by the different planets and by the signs 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 occupations 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
the aspects, conjuction, placement, the signs and houses
of occupation, the Navamshas they occupy, the stars
they occupy and so on.
Firstly we will broadly outline the jobs ascribed to each
planet.

The Sun indicates government service, trees, timber,
chanting of hymns, gambling, wool, medicine, metalwork,
gold, father, kings, fire arms, fire, poisons,and forests.
The Sun denotesemployment in the State Service, administration or management. It indicates people having much
authoriy and power.
The Sun denotesgovernment offrcials,kings and administrators. One may be in a government service,or in the senrice
of a noble man or king.
The Sun indicates one's father. When the Sun is connected
with the 10th house. One may have income through his father.
Or he may use his father's property as capital and thereby
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 significator of profession, by being connected with the
10th house, and other signifrcantors (like Mars) also denote
the same, one may take to medical profession.
Influence of Mars, Kethu etc. would indicate professione
connected with frre and frre arms.
Influence ofJupiter, as lord of 9th house would point out to
chantig of hymns and the profession of a priest. Or he may be
emplbyed in a mutt or a religious institution. The reason for
this is, that the Sun is a satvic planet. Influence 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 house 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 attribute the following profeesione to
the Sun. All positions of trust and authority, prominent posi'

The Tenth House And Its

Significance
The tenth house is a very important house in the horoscope
of a person. It is the house which determines one's rank, social
status, and profession ofa person. In thisbook, we have given
plenty of examples, a study of which will clearly point out to
the importance of this house. In the horoscopes of great men,
we generally find the tenth house and the ascendant rendered
strong by the association and aspectsofbenefic planets.
The general gignficators in any.horoscgpe ?re phq Asqen=,
dant, the tenth house, the Sun and the Moon. These signs are
respectively known as the lagna, the dashama lagna, the
Surya lagna and the Chandra lagna. They exercise propound
influence on one's life. But eastern as well as western authorities recommend their consideration and careful judgement for
arriving at correct 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 discuss the effects
of the planets placed in the lOth house from the Chandra
lagna.

the judgement of any house three factors are to be mainly
considered: 1. the house itself,2. the lord of the house and 3.
the Karaka planet of the house. Firstly note which planets are
placed in the house and then the planets are aspecting it. Then
we should see the placement of its lord, in rasi and Navamsha
and its stellar position, lts association and aspects with other
planets. Lastly, the Karaka for profe*sion is the Sun. But if we
ane interested in the income from the profession, we must
study Jupiter. The reader should refer to standard works like
Phaladeepika, Jataka Parijata and Prashna Marga for understandlng the rules regarding the judgement of Bhavas in

points.

Professi.onThroughAstrology

In queries regarding crops, 10th denotes the production

and the crop. (Lagna signifies the agriculturist, the fourth
house, the land, the 7th house agriculture and the 10th house
the crop).
In queries regarding diseases,the fbth house denotes 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 texts, 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 house denotes long journey, 10th house is said to
indicate pilgrimages.
In political or mundane astrology, the 10th house indicates
the king, the head of the state, the administrators, external
trade, import-export, the honours and reputation of the country, the government, party in power, the leaders, political
situation etc.
Some Authorities on this subject say that it is not enough
to consider the 10th house alone for determining one's profession. They consider the three houses72, 6 and 10. Added to
these, the 1lth house is also to be con5idered to see the gain of
wealth.

through one's profession and business. Some include the 6th
house as the 6th house is Bhagyasthana of the 10th house'
The tenth house denotes the position of job. The sixth
house is the actual work and the conditione contacted during
the work. Saturn in the sixth hosue may indicate laborioug
work and unpleasant surroundings.
The second house denotes money and self'acquisition. It
denotes bank balance also. Evil planets and their aspects to
the second hosue produce Ioss of wealth.
Thus, many eminent authors are of the opinion that these
three house - 2,6 and 10 are to be considered together in the
judgement about profession.
The indications of the houees are to be mastered very
thoroughly, 3rd house indicates normal work, 4th house de'

Bhagwan Gotq is a great Acharya of Hindu Astrology
whose views are held highly authoritative.
He says that all the planets placed in the tenth house
counted from Lagna or the Moon are to be understood
as
bestowers of income in their respective periods according
to
their karakatva or significance.
Also income can be told according to the occupation indicated by the planets which rule the Navamashas in which
the
tenth house cusps from Lagna, the Moon, and the Sun fall.
This very view is repeated in phaladeepika by
Mantreswara also.
Thus it is very importq,nt to consider the three Lagnas:
_
Janma lagna, Chandra lagna and Surya 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_ous9from these lagnas is briefly
fouo*"r (These results can
".
also happen when the Sun etc. happen
to be the Navamsha
Lords).
The Sun: property or wealth from father, wealth
through one's own exertion.

get wealth by these means without much effort. So says
Bhagwan Gargi too:

When Kethu is placed In the tenth house, one is learned,

As in the case of Rahu, we harrc to consider the nature of

by its own lord or benefics, Jupiter, Venus, Mercury, ,""*i"g

Moolathrikona or exaltation signs the professionwill bring
good fortune to him. If it is moderately strong, moderate
fortune is indicated.If it is nery weak, incomefrom profession
will be small.
Then one has to ascrtain the yogakaraka for profession
i.e., significator for profession. (Planet placed in the tenth

If the Sun is the yogakarakafor profession,and is situated

If such a Sun is aspectedby Jupiter the native will be in

If such a Sun is aspectedby or associatedwith Saturn, he
will be in a low service.
If it is associatedwith Rahu, he might be serving a low

If this Sun is assoclatedwith Mars, he will be a chief of

The nature of the signs has to be given great consideration. Great writers on the subjectsay that airy signs (Gemini,
Libra, Aquarius) show much literary work. The fiery signs
(Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) denotemachineryand occupationsin
which ftre, iron, and metals are used.
The earthy signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) show work
connectedwith earth, agriculture, trade of corn, labour, healy
work, gardening, building, carpentary and masonarSl.
The airy signs (Gemlni,LibraAquarius) are termed scientific signs. They only indicate literary work, mental occupa'
tions, interest in scientiflc studies, and shop-keepingetc. The
sign Scoropio produces doctors, physicians and chemists.
Wherea.sthe sign Ariee denotesconnectionwith Army.
The watery signs Caner, Piscesand Scorpioproduce those
connectedwith public work and water. It producespublicans,
sailors, merchants of wine and those who deal in liquids'
Also the signs Ariee, Leo and Sagittarius have connec'
tion with army and dangprous pursuits. Virgo and Sagittarius indicate messengers,dealers booksellersand printers
also.
Westerners recommendanother method. Note in which
type of signs majority of the planets are situated: movable,
fixed or common.
(1) If the majority of the planets are found in movable
signe, it makes one very energeticand actirre,ambitious and
hard working. He may be a leader, inventor, pioneer, a good
organiser or a good buglness man.
(Examle: C'andhdl's horoecope:5 planeti.r are in Chara
rasi).
(2) If the m4iority of the planets are in fixed sigrs, it
denoteeplain, rigid nature. Onebecomespatient and steadfast
and follows the rulee of descipline. They are successful in
government service, and other well established occupations
requirlng etrict disclpline (euchas thoseof physicians etc).

The planets owning the 10th house, placed in the L0th

the indications of the tenth house, provided they are not
afllicted and are strong. In the dasha and Bhukthi of the lord
of the 10th house, one gets opportunity to do meritorious
deeds.
The planets in the llth house, during their periods and
subperiods also will produce gains. So also the planets in the
2nd house and owningthe 2nd house.
The Dasha Bhukthi principles should be studied from
Phaladeepika, Laghu Parasari, Jataka Parijata and other
standard text books. We quote here only those relating to the
1.0thhouse.

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-Bhtrkthi periods.

During the Da-shaof the lord of the 10th house the person
concerned will successfully complete any undertaking commenced by him. He will lead a happy life. He becpmesfamous
and gets a permanent position. He commands great respect.
All the good results are to be understood, when the planet is
strong and has benefic aspects, influence of benefics. Otherwise results will be different.
Example: A certain 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 sign of the Moon, Kethu was placed. The nodes become
stronger than the planets when 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 tenth house.
In another horoscope, a person gets appointment during
Rahu Dasha, Jupiter 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 find 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 placed 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 their 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 relating
to the 10th house.

for studying the nature of periods and sub-periods.Promotions and gains of wealth are possibleduring the sub-periods
of benefics having connectionwith 1,2,5,10& gth houses
during the course of the dasha of a yogakaraka. This will
be more so, when the lords of the major period and the

When a planet is favourably placed in the secondhouse,
it gives wealth. But if it is heavily afllicted, it will bring loes

good amount of wealth provided it has the strength to do
so. This will be so when it is in exaltation, friendly sign,

Though Janmalagna is of primary importance, in this

respect, consideration of Chandralagna 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 the strong lord of lagna, one's prosperity continuously increases. From these considerations, it is clear that ascndants
and planets plaeed therein have a great influence over one's
wealth.
Strong planets placed in the lagna signiff the profession. If
Mercury is there, the person may earn his livelihood through
writing or teaching.
When three or more auspicious planets occupy the ascendant, people born are happy, prosperous and wealthy like
kings. On the other hand if three or more evil planets occupy
the ascendant people born are ovencomewith grief, diseases,
fear and rejected by others. So oys Saravali (a classical text on

and 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 Brihat Jataka, Mihira says:

When Lagna or Moon falls in Vargothama Navarnsha and

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 will be clear that Lagna and
Chandra lagna deserve close scrutiny in matters concerning
wealth. Westerners too, attach great importance to the aspects
received by 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
wealth has been told.

Accordingto the planetary occupations,the results are to

benefic but in other places, it is to be taken as giving bad
effects.
Even a malefic planet, poeitd in own sign or exaltation
sign, doesnot producebad results.In this way, seeingthe good
and evil results, one should interpret the results of the houses.
Thus it is a method of divining the result taking
into consideration all the three lagnas-Janmalagna,
Chandralagna and Suryalagna. It is said in Parashara llora
that results of the houseecan be known very clearly from this

The house conjoined or aspected by the lord and the

benefics flourishes. The house occupied or aspected by
malefics, decays. The hous which ie subjected to the evil
influence of a very large number of evil planets, naturally
becomesweak and its significance becomesfeeble.
In ancient times, the practice of judging the horoscope
with respectto all the three lagnaswas very much in vogue.
This becomes clear from many verrof Varahamihira in
Brihat Jataka such as 3qg{ffitffi
IRcII:etc.
Even in the matter of guessing one's profession,
SudarshanaPaddhati can be employedand 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
three lagnas,gets threefold power to produe beneficreeults.
And one malefic with respectto all the three lagnas,naturally
becomesextremely weak to producesignificant 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 benefics 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.

The lagna, Chandra lagna and Surya lagna all are ruled by
Moon and Mars, i.e., they 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
lagna. 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 became the Prime Minister of India. The tenth house receives the aspect of its own
lord 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 clear from considerations of Sudarshana Paddhati.
For want of space, and other considerations of difficulties
of preparing diagrams we do not give them. The student can
easily draw thern and veriff for himself.
If there is no planet in a house, the aspecting planets
determine the effect. If no planet aspects the house, the lords
of the house will determine the eflbcts. Parashara recommends
the consideration of varga,sof the planets also. If a planet is in
benefic varga,its strength increases.
Mahatma Gandhi's horosc-opeis given as e:rample. At a
glance, we 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, Venus, and Mercury over the lOth house). He was a
great leader. (MoonJupiter influence).
Now we will describe a rough method for judging the
profession without drawing this diagram. Firstly, write down
lagna, lord of lagrra, Chandra lagna, lord 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,
conjunction, 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 planets influencing these lagnas to the maximum extent.

As we have mentioned earlier, in the opinion of the great

writers, all the three lagnas i.e., Janrma lagna, Chandra lagna
and surya lagna are to be considerqd. out of these the first two
lagnas have to be invariably considbred. IfVenus is only in the
lfth house from Janma Lagna there will be no poverty' The
persnn will be rich. But if it is placed in the 12th house with
bf""ett"" to the Chandra lagna and the Surya lagna, one can
imagine the extent of good results and wealth it can produce.
An e.-xampleof this is the horoscopeof Queenvictoria, in which
Venus happens to be in the 12th house from all the three
lagnas since the sun and the Moon are situated in vrishabha
lagna.

The Pqncha Maha Punrsha Yogag

Varahamihira, in hig celebrated work, Brihat Jataka says
that a person is fortunate when his birth is in Vargoththama
(same sigu in Rasi and Navamsha), when there is a benefic
planet in the Vesisthana (2nd house 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 placed in the Kendras, occupying their own signs,
exaltation signs or Moola thrikona signs are called Karakas
with respect to each other. Out of these the one placed in the
tenth house merits special consideration'
The Pancha mahapurusha yogas are respectively
Ruchaka, Bhadra, Hamsa, Malavya and Sasa Mahayogas.
They are caused respectively by Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn when these planets happen to occupy Kendra
houses, identical with their own signs, exaltation signs, or
Moolathrikona signs. To illustrate, Ruchaka yoga is caused
when Mars ocanpies a Kendra house identical with its own
sign, exaltation sign, or Moolathrikona sign. These five yogas
have been grven great importance by almost all classical 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 there are rrcry bad yogas'
maning the horoscope, the effect of these Pancha
mahapurusha yogas seldom fails.
Mantreswara says that these five yogas can be considered
from Moon's position also:

It is sure to confer high posts and if one or more

Mahapurusha yogas are present, the beneficial results will
also increase proportionately. For further details regarding
these 5 yogas, one should refer to Saravali.
Exanple: The horoecopeof C D. Desh Mukh ig an example of Karakakhya yoga. With referene to Chandra lagna,
Jupiter is in the ?th producing Hamsa Yoga.
Kahala Yoge
l. Ifthe lord ofthe rasi occupiedby the lord ofthe lagna be
in his exaltation or own sign identical with a Kona or l(endra,
the yoga is called Kahala. The person who is born in Kahala
yoga will thrive well, intelligent, cheerful,and helpful to others. He will be respectedby people.

Rajayoga due to which he could rise to the position of dewan,
having much wealth and authority. For the lord of exaltation
of Sun, i.e., Mars is placed in Kendra with respect to the Lagna
and the Moon. The lord ofexaltation sign ofVenus, i.e., Jupiter
is in 4th house which is a Kendra with respect to Lagna and
the Moon. The lord of exaltation of Jupiter i.e., the Moon ig
placed in the lagna itself. Thus all the three planets have

We need not take the effects mentioned tm literally. It ig

Errcn thisyoga isonly a hint at the importance of the tenth

houses which are auspicious,producing fortune, gain and

Thie is also a very important yoga, which frequently escapes our notice. It produces unexpected gain of wealth and
the native becomes suddenly wealthy. The defrnition of thie

If the lord of the 8th house is placed in the 12th or the 6th

the 12th house and the lord of the 12th houee is in the 8th or
the 6th house, this yoga aries.
The lords of these houses may be connected with each
other by exchange of houses, mutual aspects etc., but should
not be combined or aspected by other planets.
A person born in this yoga will be a king or an emperor of
nuch wealth and rneans of happiness.
This is because under such a combination, the bad houses
6,8 and 12 in the horoscopehave been rendered weak. Consequently, the horoscope gains strength and benefic nature, and

one to a high position and girrcsgoodincome. (seeSri Nehru's
horoscope.He becamePrime Minister in Mars'period).
6. For Leo ascendant,Mercury rules 2nd and llth hous6
which shows gain of wealth. Mercury may be bad for hedth.
But it rules the 2nd and llth houses.Its periods may not be
good as it is told that lord of llth hous is evil. Venus gets
Kendradhipatya by owning the 3rd and 10th houses. Here
agian More becomesthe Yogakaraka by owning the 4th and
the 9th houss.
6. For Virgo ascendant,Merctrry rules the 1st and the 10th
houseg.As 10th house denoteefather'g wealth, and it ie con'
nected with the lagna, there arises chancs of getting father's
wealth. Similarly, Venue owng 2nd and 9th houge. So, if
Venug is farmurably situated and strong, one gets wealth
through father.
7. For Libra ascendant,Venus owns 8th and the lagna. 8th

also suggeststhe possibility of gstting wealth thnough partner,
provided it is etrong.
8. For Sqorpioasendant, Sun rule the lOth houee.If Sun

Jupiter owns the Znd and 6th hous. Ttrus there is likelihood
of getting wealth through one'e eons, provided Jupiter ie
strong and situatd farmurably in gpodhouses.
9. For Sagittarius ascendant,Jupiter nrles the ascrendant
and the 4th house. Jupiter is a benefic and beoomes a
Yogakaraka too. (* lagna can be treated as a thrikonasthana).
Saturn owns the Znd and 3rd houss.3rd houeedenotesbnothers and sisters. So, if Saturn is favourably eituated and ie
strong, one gets wealth through hie brothere.
10. For Capricorn ascendant, Saturn rules the ascendant
and the 2nd houees.If Saturn is strong, one earns wealth by
self-acquisition. hi 6th and 10th housee,Vnus beoomes
Yogakaraka. One gets a decentjob. InVenus dasha"he gets
promotions and lives happily.
11. For acquarius ascendant, aleo, Venus be@mee the

The above principlee. ghould not be taken as final and
applied indiscriminstely. It is glen only as an aid to guesing
results. For the neeultsdepend upon many other factors, i.e.,
placement with regard to lagna, strength of the planet, its

1. If the lord of the lfth houseis placed in the lst house in
cpmbination with the lord of the ascendant and has a benefic
yoga"the natirrc will have muctr name and fane. He will wield
much power, and influenoe. He may becomea minister or a

[Some timee the Dashas of other planets situatd in the

give such resultsl.
The reason b clear. 10th houeeindicates power and fame.
Erlen its situation in the lagna is sufncient. But association
with the lord of lagna and benefic yoga enlunee that euch
results will be certain to happen.

Soin the prviouspages,wehave givenenoughmaterial to

study the 10th house.Firetly the indications of the housesand
the planets have to be clearly masterd.Then one ehould know
the indications of the various signs. Also we hane girrcn the
professions which dre probable for different planetary combi'
nations. We have aslo given the traditional nrleg for determin'
ing the profession. One should not think 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 performancsof religious rites also. The 10th house tus
to be consideredfrom the lagna and the Chandra lagna. For in
many cases, the Chandra lagna may be mor\e powerful in
exerting its influence. Apart from this, we gave the rules for
detemining the aptitudee. The horoecopehas to be judged as
a whole. Then we should not ignore the influences of Chandra
lagna, Janma lagna and Surya lagna in guessing the profession. For, the lagnqs glrc a gooddeal of information about the
person. His aptitudes, nature, and profeseionare some times
indicated by the influence of planets on the lagnas. For this,
Sudarshana Paddhati may be adopted. Lastly, the yogas
present in the horoscopeare to be carefully noted. For, it is
theseyogas which 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 horoscops and ee how the profesions are indicated in theee.
Readersmay collect more and morehoroecpesandstudy them.
It will be a rewarding experlenceand surely they will notice
the role played by planets in regard to the choiceof profession.
Also, 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 chart. Then we cannot think that the
planet is weak. Similarly, readers would have notied that
Mihira, Satya, Farasara etc., attach great importance to
Navamsha. In fact, they want us to dcidethe profession by a
eonsideration of the lord of the Navamehain which the lord of

He entered politics in Venus Mahatlasha.In Sun's dasha
his fame steadily increased.In the dasha of Mars, the lord of
the 10th house,Jawaharlal becantePrime Minister during the
sub-periodof Rahu which representsMercury (Rahu is placed
in Mercury's rasi) and Jupiter (Rahu is fully aspected by
Jupiter). Parasarab principles arc totally true here. The subperiod of Jupiter (Bharyadhipati) in the major period of
Yogakaraka has to be good.But as the nodeRahu is aspected
by Jupiter, in Mars-Rahu period,his elevationto the high post
is in agreementwith Astrological principles'
He was very rich. His secondhousereceivesthe beneficial
aspect of Jupiter (trine aspect). Dhanakaraka Jupiter is
strongly placedin his own sign. Lord of 11is placedin own sign
in the 4th house.It is combinedwith Mercury. Mercury rules
the 3rd house.It is strongly placed in the 4th house.He was
highly learned and wrote many books.
He was the Prime Minister in Rahu Dasha also. Rahu
represents Mercury which is combinedwith Venus and as'
pects the 10th house. Rahu is powerfully aspected by
Bharyadhipati Jupiter. So, Ilahu is connectedwith 9, 10 and
11.There is another way of analysis.Venus is the Karaka of a
very powerful Yoga-MalavyaMahayoga,which is mainly responsible for giving Pt. Nehru the Prime Ministership. That
Venus is combinedwith Mercury, and Mercury is a friend of
Venus. So, Mercury should
give auspicious results of Venus. Rahu represents Venus,
because Rahu is placed in the
sign of Mercury, and Mercury
and Venus both aspect the
10th house.

ter (lord of 9) and Venus (lord of 4) there arises another

Rajayoga.
The tenth house falls in ,Aries. The lord of the 10th house
Mars has exchanged houses with the Sun. These two are
closely connected and therefore Mars derives much strength
and authority. From the Sun Mars in is 10th house. There is
connection between lords of 2nd and 10th houses. As Mars
denotes leadership and Sun is for C'overnment, she headed the
Government of a great country.
There is Clear Ingna.dhi yogo.
Also Sun which is strongly connected with Mars is related
to Jupiter by aspect.Thus lords of 2,9,6, and 10 are connected
together. Not only this, Venus and Jupiter are closely related
because they have exchanged signs. Venus is the lord of 4 and
11. Thus the tenth house lord is oonnected with lords of 2, 9, 10
and 11. Readerg can now understand the strength of this great
horoscope.
Now we will study the tenth house in pa.rticular. It fialls in
the sign of Aries. It is not subjected to any malefic influence.
Its lord is Mars. Mars is situated in the 2nd house. It is strong
'becauseit is in the sign of Sun. Not only this, it hae exchanged
signs with the Sun. Sun indicates royal power. It represents
Government. Thus Mars gets inmense power. Thus there is
close relation between the lords of 5, 10 and 2nd houses. 6th
house represents ministership. Since the 10th house is 8o
powerfully connected with the 5th house, ministership was
bestowed. Readere will further note that Mars is the
Yogakaraka for Cancer ascendant. There is much mone rea'
son. The Sun has combined with benefic planet Mercury.
Jupiter is Bharyadhipati. Ordinarily it may be regarded weak
in the sign of Taurus. Here it is not so. Jupiter has exchanged
signs with Venus. Venus is Labhadhipati Jupiter is
Bhagradhipati. Thus Bhagadhipati and Labhadhipati are
very strongly related. And such a Bhagiadhipati Jupiter is
aspecting the Sun. Jupiter is by nature a benefic. Herc it is the
Jord ofthe 9th house further. Such ajupiter aspects the lord of
th lagns by its powerful, benefic, trine aspect. Mars is

aspecting the Sun and Mercury. Readers will notice, that a

number of benefic yogas are present . Powerful Vasumad' yoga
is also present. Jupiter is in 11 and has exchanged signs with
Venus lord of 11. In the 6th house Venus is present. In addition
to this, therg is Lagnadhi yoga. All theseyogas, have given the
high status of prime ministership.

Out of these, Mercury is the Bhagadhipati. It is joined with

the lord of the lagna producing very powerful Raiayoga. From
Chandra lagna, Bhagradhipati Jupiter is placed in the 10th
house aspected by Mars. Thus lords of fth and 10th houses
aspect each other thereby producing another powerful
yogo. firis is responsible
Rojayoga called Dharmakamndhi
for his virtuous nature. Also the aspect between lords of 4th
house and the 9th house aspect each other causing another
Rajayoga. Again there is combination of the 5th and 4th lords
from the Chondra lagon.
Apart from this, powerful Malatya Mahayoga is present
and it is no wonder therefore that he was really a great
Mahapursusha. Three kendras are occupied by benefics and
Mihira's Karakakhya yoga is prsent. Powerful Vesi yoga is
present as the second house from the Sun is occupied by two
very auspicious planets-Mercury and Venus' (See how the
rules of Varaha Mihira are proving true here).
The Moon rules public life. It is placed in the tenth house
in own house. So he was a great leader of the masses, the
father of the nation. There wer several changes in his life and
in his early years, he had many voyages too' (This is only to
indicate that Astrological principles are coming true perfectly).
In Rahu dasha, he was arrested probably due to MoonRahu combination. In Chandra lagna, Rahu is placed. He
struggled hard. He suffered hardships; but his fame spread. In

Rajayoga. Jupiter and Saturn have exchanged houses. The
exchange of lords of 6th, and 8th houses has produced
Vipareetha Rajayoga also.
The lord of the lagna Moon is placed in the 7th house with
