The 10th House and Its Lord
The 10th house reveals your public career. A strong 10th lord in a kendra or trikona grants recognition. Malefic planets in 10th often indicate technical or authority roles.
Planets and Career Fields
Sun: government, medicine, leadership. Moon: hospitality, water-related, public roles. Mars: engineering, defence, sports. Mercury: business, IT, communication. Jupiter: law, teaching, finance. Venus: arts, luxury, design. Saturn: labour, mining, real estate. Rahu: media, foreign trade. Ketu: research, spirituality.
Career Timing
Career peaks during the dasha of 10th lord, 6th lord (service), or Sun/Saturn. Saturn's transit over the 10th often brings major career changes — either promotion or restructuring.
Business vs Job Analysis
Strong Mercury and 7th house favour business. Strong Sun/Saturn and 10th favour a job. Mars supports competitive fields. Jupiter supports consultancy and teaching.
