Introduction

This book seeks to present a systematic study of the tenthhouse. In the preparation of this book, a great number ofancient and modern books have been consulted. The intentionis to study the subject of Astrolory scientifically. The study ofany science is based on experiments, observations and infer-ences. Every science grows on the basis of the work of thepredecessors, who devoted their lives to study, research, prac-tice and teaching. We grve the material from the works of theancient seers.

But the rules given by them have some limitations. Inthoee days, there were not so many professions as we havethese-dap. Therefore, it calls for fresh study, research, analy-sis and conclusions.In addition we have given the opinions ofwestern authors that are based on research studiee. We harrccpllected material fiom a large number of bmks by greatauthorities and best writers both oriental and western on thesubject. Good number of examples have been added to illus.trate the principlee. And in each, we do find the tnrth ofAstrological principles becomingprominent. We hope that thirswill arouse interest in the etudents for further study andresearch.

There can be differences of opinion among echolars on thesubject. If they are pointed out, we shall be happy to recordnew opinions if found convincing.

In this book, we intend to present a study of the tenthhouse, the determination of one's profession and financialposition. Before entering into the suhject, we reproduce heresome of the basic principles of Astrolory for convenience ofready reference.

In every horoscope, there are twelve houses' The ascen-dant is the sign rising at the time of birth. The tenth houserepresents thJzenith. The fourth house represents nadir. Theseventh is the sign setting at the time of brith.

Horoscopes are cast and represented differently indifferent parts of the country. The north Indian and SouthIndian patterns ar€ as follows:

In the north Indian method, the sigrrs are indicated bynumbers. 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 theseventh house, i.e., the sign Vrischika (Scorpio), Saturn isposited. 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 thisis widely used now-a-days in all parts of India. Readens shouldfamiliarise with both methods.

Venus over Bharani, Poorva Phalguni andPurvashadha etc. Each star denotes a division of the zodiac oflength 19"20'. ThusAswini denotes a distance of 13"20' of thezodiac fnom 0 of Aries. These divisions are extremely impor-tant in prodictive astrolory. Each star extends over fpurNavamshas. Each NaVamsha denotes a portion of zodiac oflength 3'20'. The true longitudes of the planets, can be easi\obtained from standard panchangas or ephemeris like those ofLahiri. They should be entered in the form of a table, denotingthe star and star lord for each planet.

Navarnsha ChaJca

The Navamsha chakra is very important for arriving atcorrect ctnclusions. One cannot arive at the results Qerelyfollowing the Rasi chart. Planets in Vargoththama becomeauspicious. Lagna in Vargoththama navamsha makes one for-tunate. QIq qtffi Erq - Mihira). A planet though weak innasi, if farrcurably poeited in the Navamsha diagram, derives

12 Prcfessiqn Through Ashologr

strenth. A planet may be debilitated in Rasi but may be exaltedin Navamsha. Then we cannot treat it as a bad planet. More-over, with a little practice, by looking af the Navamshd {ia-gram, one can know the star-lord of the planet. For theseresons the rasi chart should be always accompanied by theNavamsha chart.

Each Navamsha measures 3o 20'. The first Navamsna ofAries is named Aries. The second is called Taurus etc, in theorder 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 beLibra.

'The first Navamsha of Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces will be

Cancer.

The first Navamsha of Leo, Sagittarius and Aries will beAries.

Now, frorn the true longitudes of the planets theNavamshas in which they are loacated can be easily calculatedand the Navamsha Chakra can be drawn.

Bhava Chakra

The Bhava Chakra should be ca-st accurately. The cusp ofthe houses can be calculated very accurately using standardephemeris like those of Lahiri, Raphael etc. The Rasi chartsometimes misleads. It is not enough. When the lagna is at thebeginning ofa sign or at the end ofa sign, one cannot arrive atcorrect 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 pro-duce the effects of the house to the full extent. When it is at theends, it gives very little eflbcts. For other positions, we have toguess the results by the method of proportion.

The method of prepartion of the Bhava Chaka should beunderstood carefully from standard manuals of Astrologr.

Raphael's table of houses is considered to be very accurate'

OnL rnay use Lahiri's table of houses or Fliaman's table of

houses also.

FlanetaryAspects

All the planets aspect the ?th house from the house where

they are posited. Saturn, Jupiter and Mars hare special as-

pects 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:

d d .nq: Er@ gfr at I6s 6s1i5 gra rr

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

house, the matters signified by the house, flourish.

Let us ondsider the fol-lowing horoscope. Here 3planets Venus, Mercury andMars aspect the ?th house.Jupiter aspects the ascen-dant, l1th house, (Leo rasi)and the 3rd house (Sagit-tarius). Mars aspects the ?thhouse, 8th house (Taurussign) and the 4th house (Cap-ricorn)-

Saturn also aspects the

8th house (Taurus sign), the 4th house (Capricorn sign)and the llth house (Leo sign). Moon aspects the 4thhouse. Sun aspects the 6th house. Moon aspects the fourthhouse.

In this way the aspects are considered. Here the aspectbetween the friendly planets Mars and Jupiter is good. Simi-larly, the aspect between Mercury and Jupiter is also consid-ered to be good.

Weetern Aspects:- Westerners consider the aspect be-tween the planets in a di{ferent manner. It is useful to befamiliar with their methods also. Here the angle between theaspecting planets is censidered.

1. Conjunction. Conjuction of benefic planets is ex-tremely good. When malefics and benefics combine the beneficloses its beneficial nature and the malefic ite cruel nature.

2. Parallel. This occurs when the aspecting planets havethe same degree of declination, above, below or on oppositesides of the equator

3. Oppoeition (180"). This is denoted by the symbol 0.Opposition between malefics is condidered to be evil.

4. Trlne (120). This is denoted by the symbol A. andis considered to be a powerful aspect, re4l auepicious in

nature.

5. Sextile (60). This is denoted by the symbol *. This isalso auspicious in nature.

6. Square (90). This is denoted by the symbol E. This irsonsidbredl to be an evil aspect.

?. Sesqutquadrate (136"). This is denoted by the symbolEt and is considered to be evil.

8. Biqulntile (144"). This is denoted by the symbol t. Thisaspeet is good in nature.

9. Semlsquare (45"). This is denoted by the L and isconsidered as bad.

Multiples of pTfi!,ile considered to be bad.

Multiples of 18' are oonsidered to be good, except thesquare aspect.

Multiples of 30 are also considered to be beneficial.

Stellar Positions

The true longitudee of each planet, at birth time, should beaeurately calculated with the help of some standard ephem-eris or good Panchanga. The Ayanamsha used should be re-oorded in the form of a table. Then, it should be found out inwhich gtar is each planet plaed. Then the lord of the starshould be recorded. There is close aonnection between theplanets and their star lords. During the Dasha periods also,one experiences the results of the star lords. If we ignore thestar lords and only depend upon the rasi chart, it will be moetincnmplete.Very many facts cannot be explained adequatelyunless the nature of the star lord is included. In stellar Astrol-oS/, even the star-lords of the various cusps of houses arecalculated and recorded.

On the other hand, if it is situated irr inirnical signs, it

Chapter II

Planets and Profession

Plannets in 10th house, lord of the 10th house, those influenc-ing Lagna, lord of lagna, the Sun and the Moon, are allsignificators of profession.

The signs oaupied by the significators of profession alsoinfluence the nature of the profession.

Consideration of all the three lagnas - Janma lagna,Chandra lagna and the Surya lagna is necessary. So the greatwriters 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 indicatethe professions.

Thus it is necessary to know the professions indicatedby the different planets and by the signs first of all. Thenthese have to synthesised together. For this, one has to studya good number of horoscopes. Also, the same person willfollow different occupations at different periods. For this,it would be necessarlr to examine the dasha periods he willbe running. The nature of the planets vary according tothe aspects, conjuction, placement, the signs and housesof occupation, the Navamshas they occupy, the starsthey occupy and so on.

Firstly we will broadly outline the jobs ascribed to eachplanet.

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 denotes employment in the State Service, admin-istration or management. It indicates people having muchauthoriy and power.

The Sun denotes government offrcials, kings and adminis-trators. One may be in a government service, or in the senriceof a noble man or king.

The Sun indicates one's father. When the Sun is connectedwith the 10th house. One may have income through his father.Or he may use his father's property as capital and therebyprosper. This can be so when the influence ofthe lords 9 or 5falls on the Sun.

The Sun indicates medicines, and medical profession too.If it is a significator of profession, by being connected with the10th house, and other signifrcantors (like Mars) also denotethe same, one may take to medical profession.

Influence of Mars, Kethu etc. would indicate professioneconnected with frre and frre arms.

Influence ofJupiter, as lord of 9th house would point out tochantig of hymns and the profession of a priest. Or he may beemplbyed in a mutt or a religious institution. The reason forthis is, that the Sun is a satvic planet. Influence of the 12thhouse is also to be considered here. For the twelfth house issaid to have close connection with temples because the Sunindicates timber. When it is connected with the lord of the 4thhoue, one may be supplier of timber for house construction.

22 Profession Through Astrologt

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'

tions in government, commanders, bankere, noblemen, kings,emperors, goldsrniths etc.

The Sun indicates medicine, medicd profession, trading in

wool, grass, corn, gold, pearls, and the profession of a messen'ger. The Sun indicates profession of father also. The Sun is a

frery planet. If it is connected with Mars, or Kethu, the profee-

sion may be related to frre arm6, electricity, radio etc.

Note: Each profeesion is signifred by one or mone planets.

It is also signifred by one or mone houses. Thus the two indica-tions (i.e., of the planets and the houses) have to be blendedtogether. Consideration should be done w.r.t. Lagna andChandra lagna. In tfre present section, the aignifrcance of theplanets is being given. It should be properly synthesised withthe indications of houses and alter careful judgment, findconclusion should be a:rived at.

The Moon

The Moon ie a watery planet. The native may deal incorals, pearls, liquids, milk etc. He may earn through agricul'ture, water, gatrnents, cows, sugar and other articles nrled bythe Moon.

Flowers, food, corals, Eilver, conch, garments, ornamenta'

femdee, ghee, oil etc., are ruled by the Moon.

When it is connected with Venus, the person may be

engaged in perfi.rmes, milk products, scents etc'

The Moon is a feminine planet' It indicates earning

through women also. This includes the cinema line where

actors have to move with women. This is particularly so, when

it has connections with other female planets like venus. com-

binatione with Mercury also has the eame effect'

Cooks, nursee' Launderere are also ruled by the Moon'

The Moon gives softness and adaptability of temparament'

It makes one disposed to travel and fond of changes'

When the Moon ip a signiftcator of profession and on. this

ous liquids, liquor etc., for Rahu represents poisonl

Jataka Parijata says that one may be a musician playing

on inst nments, or one may be an agriculturist' One may be a

cloth merchant, or he may be in the selvice of a queen'

The Moon is a watery planet. It nrles over all kinds of

liquids, fresh water, milk and things produced from water'

The Moon is called'a queen. It is also connected with

administration next only to the Sun. If, on this, there is the

influence'of Jupiter, or the Sun, one is very likely to be in

administration.

Since the Moon is also a significator for flowers and per'

fumes, connection with Venus would point out to preparation

of scents and perfumee' or business connected with these'

The Moon represents rice and other food stuffs' Connected

with the lord of the 2nd house, one may be earning through

Pl.anets and. Professi.on gg

ascending node while Kethu is spoken of as the descendingnode. Westerners consider Rahu as a benefrc but Kethu as amalefic.

Much depends on the house and sign in which Rahu isplaced. Rahu is good in the 10th house. Rahu is said toresemble Saturn in certain respects.

The Tenth House And ItsSignificance

The tenth house is a very important house in the horoscopeof a person. It is the house which determines one's rank, socialstatus, and profession ofa person. In thisbook, we have givenplenty of examples, a study of which will clearly point out tothe importance of this house. In the horoscopes of great men,we generally find the tenth house and the ascendant renderedstrong by the association and aspects ofbenefic planets.

The general gignficators in any.horoscgpe ?re phq Asqen=,dant, the tenth house, the Sun and the Moon. These signs arerespectively known as the lagna, the dashama lagna, theSurya lagna and the Chandra lagna. They exercise propoundinfluence on one's life. But eastern as well as western authori-ties recommend their consideration and careful judgement forarriving at correct conclusions.

The tenth house has to be invariably judged not only fromthe lagna but also from the Chandra lagna. This is consideredthe opinion of ancient sages and scholars like Varahamihira.Saravali devotes a separate chapter to discuss the effectsof the planets placed in the lOth house from the Chandralagna.

Judgement of.the lOth house

Our sastras say: qqrE vteq+rq 6lwq{n( dffE€i ffiq1 tnthe judgement of any house three factors are to be mainlyconsidered: 1. the house itself,2. the lord of the house and 3.

, the Karaka planet of the house. Firstly note which planets areplaced in the house and then the planets are aspecting it. Then

. we should see the placement of its lord, in rasi and Navamshaand its stellar position, lts association and aspects with otherplanets. Lastly, the Karaka for profe*sion is the Sun. But if weane 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 under-; standlng the rules regarding the judgement of Bhavas in

gendral. Here we gtve a brief outline of the most important, points.

The Tenth House and itc Signifrcorw gg

1. AU Bhavas prduee benefic results when they atre occu-pied or aspected by beneflce or their own lords, planets owning9 or 5, or 1, and are ftee ftom malefic aspecte. But the planetsshould not be debilltated, or set qr plaed in inimical signs.Erren unafllicted maleflce aspecting their own houses promotethe good effects ofthe hous€.

2. Wlien thrikonas, and the 2nd house are occupied bybenefics, the house gets strengthened.

8. The lord of the houso should not be placed in 6, 8 or lZ.It should not be in hellacal setting. Nor should it be in depres-sion or in inimical signs.

4. Malefice in 6, 8 or 12 fnrm a house cause its destruc.tion. Nor should the lords of 6, 8, or 12 houses be placed iri thehouse.

5. When a houee is associated with the lord of the lagna,its proeperity is assured.

6. Placement of benefics on both sides of a house, or inthrikonas (1, 5 & 9) from the house, prornotes the strength andgood results of the house.In the same way, the karnka planetehould be judged.

The kar:akas of the tenth hqrse: In Jataka parijata wefind the Karnkas as'tfrq qrj ifq<I" i.e., Jupiter, Sun, Mercuryand Saturn are the karakas for the tenth house. While dealingwith the indications of the Xth house, also, the author of theJataka PariJata, says:

dishonour, and bring discredit. Mars afflicted here will pro'

duce slander and illrepute, Sun unafflicted here gives power,

honour, fame, nobility and happiness. Jupiter, Venus herein

make one an eminent person. Westerners say that Saturn,

here, brings disgrace and ruin. The bad result takes place if

Saturn is afllicted. In the horoscope of Napoleon, Saturn is

placed in the tenth house. It gave him a sudden-rise but then

a downfall too.

In state Astrology, it shows kings, emperors, nobles, em-

pires and kingdoms. (This is why in sanskrit, it is termed as

Rajyasthana.)

Significance of the tenth house in relation to

other houses

The 9th hosue represents the father. 10th house is the

second from the 9th. So it denotes father's wealth and one's

inheritance. It is a marakasthana of the parents, being the

second form the 9th and the 7th from the 4th.

As it is the 8th counted from the 3rd hosue, it is the house

of danger, and dfficulties to one's brother.

. Being the 7th from the house of happiness, this house also

denotes one's happiness.

Being the 6th from the 5th house, it shows illness and

diseases ofchildren, or their debts.

This is the 5th from the 6th house. So, it denotes children

and amusement of the servants, uncles etc.

As it is the 4th house from the 7th house, that tenth house,it denotes mother-in-Iaw. It shows the property of the wife

also.

Also, it is the 12th counted from the llth house. So, it

denotes loss to elder brother.

It is the 9th house counted from the wedth. Thus if thetenth house is strong by the occupation ofbenefic planets, etc.

tt is good for wealth. This is but natural. The person will be

Here Bhattotpala the celebrated commentator rightly ob_serves that since a person can have income by different ''i"r,",it is essential that the tenth house should bL considered fromI-agna and the Moon and not merely the stronger of the two.I{e quotes Gargi in support of his viewqTdT:rffq'- gqal@ffi qrfq i mr..lrqftq6r: r

- Bhagwan Gotq is a great Acharya of Hindu Astrologywhose views are held highly authoritative.

He says that all the planets placed in the tenth housecounted from Lagna or the Moon are to be understood asbestowers of income in their respective periods according totheir karakatva or significance.

Also income can be told according to the occupation indi-cated by the planets which rule the Navamashas in which thetenth house cusps from Lagna, the Moon, and the Sun fall.

- This very view is repeated in phaladeepika byMantreswara also.

_ Thus it is very importq,nt to consider the three Lagnas:Janma lagna, Chandra lagna and Surya lagna and the plinetsin the 10th house from these lagnas. Then the lord of theNavamsha in which the lord of the 10th house counted fromthese lagnas is to be considered.

The results according as the planet placed in the 10thh_ous9 from these lagnas is briefly

". fouo*"r (These results can

also happen when the Sun etc. happen to be the NavamshaLords).

The Sun: property or wealth from father, wealththrough one's own exertion.

Resultqas mentloned ln SatSra Sarnfo1lat

Satya-Samhita is a very important work in Astrolory.

.It is considered to be the basis of Dhruva Nadi. It givesvery many important rules.

Satyacharya. asks us to consider the strength of the tenthhouse and its lord: The etrength is judged by the rasi andNavamsha in which the lord of the tenth house is situated.Simitarly the strength of the lord nf +ho qtor in whinh thc Inrl

Plnnets in the 10th House 87

of the 10th house is placed, also should be considered. Then thecaste and age ofthe person ghould be considered.

If the lord of the 10th house is placed in benefic rasi, amsaand star, and has subha karthari yoga, (i.e., placed betweenbenefics) or is aspected by benefics or is in own rasi,Moolathrikona or exaltation signs the profession will bringgood fortune to him. If it is moderately strong, moderatefortune is indicated.If it is nery weak, income from professionwill be small.

Then one has to asc€rtain the yogakaraka for professioni.e., significator for profession. (Planet placed in the tenthhouse, its lord planets ruling the navamsha in which the lordof the tenth house is placed).

If the Sun is the yogakaraka for profession, and is situatedin the 10th house, the pereon will be employed in governmentservice.

If such a Sun is aspected by Jupiter the native will be intemple service.

If such a Sun is aspected by or associated with Saturn, hewill be in a low service.

If it is associated with Rahu, he might be serving a lowcaste (Mlechchha) ruler.

If this Sun is associat€d with Venus he will be servingunder a queen.

If this Sun is assoclated with Mars, he will be a chief ofvillage.

If the Sun is associated with Moon, he will be working inthe salt department. (.' Salt is indicated by the Moon).

If the Sun is conjoined with Merculy, he will be in judicialservic€.

The pay will be in proportion to the association and aepectof benefic planets.

A rough method to determine one's incorrre

The years allotted to the planets Sun on wards are:

L9,25, L5, L2, L5,2I,20 years when they are at the highestpoint of e:<altation 1qlieu;

At their extr€me debilitation pornts, these are:

9uz, I2Uz, 7u2, 6,'l %,, L0l/2,, LO.

Find out the strongost planet among the loro of the tenthhouse, that omupying the tenth house, or near the tenth houseand the year€ it has to contribute. (This is to be worked out bythe rule of three, according to the true longitude of the planet).

This number is to be rnultiplied by 10, 100, 1000, 10000according as the horoecope has (i) dridra (poverty; yoga (ii)ordinary Dhana yoga (iii ) powerful Dhana yoga or (iv) extremeRajayoga.

The resulting number indicates the income.

The influence of the slgns

- The signs where the aecendant, tenth house, Surya l"gnqChandra lagna have to be noted. Also it is to be seen what kindof signs the majority of the planets occupy.

The significations of the planets and signs have to beharmoniously synthesieed. This art comes tlrrough constantpractice, logical reasoning and intuition,

For example, if Mercury lg in the tenth house, or be in theSurya lagna it denotee much writing work.

Plonete in the 10th House 98

The nature of the signs has to be given great consider-ation. Great writers on the subject say that airy signs (Gemini,

Libra, Aquarius) show much literary work. The fiery signs(Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) denote machinery and occupations inwhich ftre, iron, and metals are used.

The earthy signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) show workconnected with earth, agriculture, trade of corn, labour, healywork, gardening, building, carpentary and masonarSl.

The airy signs (Gemlni, LibraAquarius) are termed scien-tific signs. They only indicate literary work, mental occupa'tions, interest in scientiflc studies, and shop-keeping etc. Thesign Scoropio produces doctors, physicians and chemists.Wherea.s the sign Ariee denotes connection with Army.

The watery signs Caner, Pisces and Scorpio produce thoseconnected with public work and water. It produces publicans,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 Sagit-tarius indicate messengers, dealers booksellers and printersalso.

Westerners recommend another method. Note in whichtype of signs majority of the planets are situated: movable,fixed or common.

(1) If the majority of the planets are found in movablesigne, it makes one very energetic and actirre, ambitious andhard working. He may be a leader, inventor, pioneer, a goodorganiser or a good buglness man.

(Examle: C'andhdl's horoecope: 5 planeti.r are in Chararasi).

(2) If the m4iority of the planets are in fixed sigrs, itdenotee plain, rigid nature. One becomes patient and steadfastand follows the rulee of descipline. They are successful ingovernment service, and other well established occupationsrequirlng etrict disclpline (euch as those of 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 meritoriousdeeds.

The planets in the llth house, during their periods andsubperiods also will produce gains. So also the planets in the

2nd house and owningthe 2nd house.

The Dasha Bhukthi principles should be studied fromPhaladeepika, Laghu Parasari, Jataka Parijata and otherstandard text books. We quote here only those relating to the1.0th house.

So, we have to consider planets placed in the tenth house,the lord of the tenth house, planets associated with theseaspecting these and consider their Dasha-Bhtrkthi periods.

During the Da-sha of the lord of the 10th house the personconcerned will successfully complete any undertaking com-menced by him. He will lead a happy life. He becpmes famousand gets a permanent position. He commands great respect.All the good results are to be understood, when the planet isstrong and has benefic aspects, influence of benefics. Other-wise results will be different.

Example: A certain person gets employment in Rahu-Ketu period. Rahu was aspected by the lord of 10th houseJupiter. Moon was conjoined with the lord of the 10th house.In the sign of the Moon, Kethu was placed. The nodes becomestronger than the planets when they are aspected or whenthey are placed in the signs of a planet.

Thus, due care is to be given to the planets conjoined andaspected by the lord ofthe tenth house.

In another horoscope, a person gets appointment duringRahu Dasha, Jupiter Bhukthi. Rahu was placed in 6th house,in the sign of Mercury which was in the 10th house. AndJupiter was placed in the star of the tenth lord.

Thus we find that of the Dasha lord and Bhukthi lord areconnected with 10th lord, even at the time of getting employ-ment.

Similarly the lord of 2nd house, the planets placed in thesecond house, planets assoclated with the lord of second househave to be considered. Also we should consider planetsaspecting these. AU theee, in their periods and suu-periods cangive wealth. See:

6. The thrikona is a house of lakshmi (wealth). Thekendra is a house of Vishnu (lordship). A connection betweenlords of Thrikonas and Kendras gives rise to Rqjayoga. Theconnection may be due to combination, mutual aspect, mutualexchange of houses etc. Such a Rajayoga bestows position,rank, fame and wealth upon the person.

When there is such a Rqjayoga, the planets producing suchyogas give their auspicious results in their periods, sub-peri-ods and conjoined periods.

7. If the lord of lagna is strong in its period, it gives muchprosperity.

8. Iords of Kbndrae loee their natural benefic or maleficnature. For example, Jupiter is considered evil for Mithunalagna. It loses its benefic nature as it owns the Kendra houses7 and 10.

The Sun los€s much of its cruel nature in respect of Tauruslagna, as the Sun owns the quadranHth houee.

9. The lords of 2nd and lfth houses are considered neutral.When a planet mles these two houses, the rulership of thehouse other than thege two houses pre\ails.

The periods of yogakarakas generally prove veryauspicious. One should apply the rules of "Jataka Chandrika"for studying the nature of periods and sub-periods. Promo-tions and gains of wealth are possible during the sub-periodsof benefics having connection with 1,2,5,10 & gth housesduring the course of the dasha of a yogakaraka. This willbe more so, when the lords of the major period and thesub-periods are friends of each other and are favourablysituated.

When a planet is favourably placed in the second house,it gives wealth. But if it is heavily afllicted, it will bring loesof wealth. For example, Jupiter in the second house givesgood amount of wealth provided it has the strength to doso. This will be so when it is in exaltation, friendly sign,own house etc.

Mifrira X-A)Thus great Acharyas like Gargi and Varahamihira harre

clearly stated that benefics placed in lst, 2nd and llth housesgive wealth without much effort.

Though Janmalagna is of primary importance, in thisrespect, consideration of Chandralagna is also required. Veryoften planets placed in lagna or Chandra lagna signiff theprofession. In Phaladeepika it is mentioned that in the dashaof the strong lord of lagna, one's prosperity continuously in-creases. From these considerations, it is clear that asc€ndantsand planets plaeed therein have a great influence over one'swealth.

Strong planets placed in the lagna signiff the profession. IfMercury is there, the person may earn his livelihood throughwriting or teaching.

When three or more auspicious planets occupy the ascen-dant, people born are happy, prosperous and wealthy likekings. On the other hand if three or more evil planets occupythe ascendant people born are ovencome with grief, diseases,fear and rejected by others. So oys Saravali (a classical text on

Importance of I-a,gna in the Judgement of Weolth lO7

Hindu Astrologr).

Sunapha, Anapha, Durudhura and Chandradhiyogas,have reference to Chandralagna.

Gajakesari yoga arises when Jupiter is in a Kendra posi-tion from the Moon. (Even here it is with reference to ChandraI,agna).

In Sakata yoga, Moon does not get the benef,rc influence ofJupiter since they are in 6,8 houses mutually.

, In Brihat Jataka, Mihira says:

; erffi dri Te q qq-qffii:t

Td{r*f*r{Q Tqr srtusrft: qer: u (XI-3)

When Lagna or Moon falls in Vargothama Navarnsha andis aspected by four or more planets, the person born is a kingand twenty two different typee of Rajayogas ariee.

In Saravali, it is told that when the lord of the lagna isplaced in the Navamsha of 6th, 8th and 12th lords one becomespoor.

From this discussion, it will be clear that Lagna andChandra lagna deserve close scrutiny in matters concerningwealth. Westerners too, attach great importance to the aspectsreceived by the Sun and Moon in considering money matters.

According to Pgrashara'srules too, if malefics have con-neetion with lagna in theirconjoined periods loss ofwealth has been told.

This lady lost heavily dur-ing Rahu-Saturn period.Rahu acts perhaps as anagent of Mars placed in lagna.Saturn is aspecting the lagna.

Here the first house is occupied by the Sun, the Moon andlagna. Keeping this as the ascendant, the other hous€s are tobe understood.

According to the planetary occupations, the results are tobe understood. In.the lst house Sun may be treated as abenefic but in other places, it is to be taken as giving badeffects.

Even a malefic planet, poeit€d in own sign or exaltationsign, does not produce bad results. In this way, seeingthe goodand evil results, one should interpret the results of the houses.

Thus it is a method of divining the result takinginto consideration all the three lagnas-Janmalagna,Chandralagna and Suryalagna. It is said in Parashara llorathat results of the housee can be known very clearly from thisSudarshana Chakra.

The results of the houses are understood according to theplanets placed in these houses. If no planets are plaed in thesehouses, results depend upon the aspects.

The house conjoined or aspected by the lord and thebenefics flourishes. The house occupied or aspected bymalefics, decays. The hous€ which ie subjected to the evilinfluence of a very large number of evil planets, naturallybecomes weak and its significance becomes feeble.

In ancient times, the practice of judging the horoscopewith respect to all the three lagnas was very much in vogue.This becomes clear from many ver€€€r of Varahamihira inBrihat Jataka such as 3qg{ffitffi IRcII: etc.

Even in the matter of guessing one's profession,Sudarshana Paddhati can be employed and results be judged.It is no novel method, but only an old method taught by ourancient sages.

A planet which is a yogakaraka with respect to all thethree lagnas, gets threefold power to produe benefic reeults.And one malefic with respect to all the three lagnas,naturallybecomes extremely weak to produce significant 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 fallinto either of these two sets,the results ofthe benefics andthe Yogakarakas will be verymuch pronounced and of ahigh order.

Now we shall apply thisSudarshana Paddhati to thehoroscopes of a few personsand show the advantages ofthis procedure.

Impofiotw of Ww in the Judeement of Wealth l l l

The lagna, Chandra lagna and Surya lagna all are ruled byMoon 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 ayogakaraka with respect to his Janma lagna and Chandralagna. 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 Min-ister of India. The tenth house receives the aspect of its ownlord Mars; Venus and Mercury and the tenth house form theSurya lagna" aspect of Jupiter. The role of Mars as also thestrength of the tenth house becomes more clear from consid-erations of Sudarshana Paddhati.

For want of space, and other considerations of difficultiesof preparing diagrams we do not give them. The student caneasily draw thern and veriff for himself.

If there is no planet in a house, the aspecting planetsdetermine the effect. If no planet aspects the house, the lordsof the house will determine the eflbcts. Parashara recommendsthe consideration of varga,s of the planets also. If a planet is inbenefic varga,its strength increases.

Mahatma Gandhi's horosc-ope is given as e:rample. At aglance, we are able to see the influence of the benefic planetson the tenth house. It is aspected by the benefics-Venus andMercury. It is occupied by Moon and Jupiter. All are infriendly signs. Mahatma Gandhi was a lawyer (influence ofJupiter, Venus, and Mercury over the lOth house). He was agreat leader. (MoonJupiter influence).

Now we will describe a rough method for judging theprofession without drawing this diagram. Firstly, write downlagna, lord of lagrra, Chandra lagna, lord of Chandra lagna,Surya lagna, lord of Surya lagna, and against these enter thenames of the d i fferent planets in fl uencing these by oeupation,conjunction, and aspects. The profession is determined by theplanets having the maximum influence. Or sometimes, theprofession will be one indicated by the group of planets influ-encing these lagnas to the maximum extent.

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.-xample of this is the horoscope of 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.

Varahamihira also says trrils*' i.e-, Venus in the lfth

house makes a Person wealthY.

Venrrs in the 6th house

Placement of Venus in the 6th house also produces yoga'This is certain--says the author of Bhar"artha Ratnakara:

{*.s qsdTqn ft'<t lTqft gq{tl XII-4 ll

Jupiter dtrong in own sign, exaltation, friendly sign in the2nd, 4th, ?th, 10th and llth is good. When it irs in a Kendraidentical with own sign, exaltation, Moolathrikona it producesHamsa Mahayoga. Jupiter in the l1th house or 2nd houee alsois very favourable for wealth.

Mercury in 1st, 4th, ?th, 10th identical with its own sign,exaltation sign or Moolathrikona sign causes BhadraMahayoga. The person becomes rich, occupies a high poeitionand erfoye a happy life.

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 beneficplanet 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 respectivelyRuchaka, Bhadra, Hamsa, Malavya and Sasa Mahayogas.They are caused respectively by Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Ve-

nus and Saturn when these planets happen to occupy Kendrahouses, 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 byVaraha 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 Panchamahapurusha yogas seldom fails.

Mantreswara says that these five yogas can be consideredfrom Moon's position also:

It is sure to confer high posts and if one or moreMahapurusha yogas are present, the beneficial results willalso increase proportionately. For further details regardingthese 5 yogas, one should refer to Saravali.

Exanple: The horoecope of C D. Desh Mukh ig an ex-ample of Karakakhya yoga. With referene to Chandra lagna,Jupiter is in the ?th producing Hamsa Yoga.

Kahala Yoge

l. Ifthe lord ofthe rasi occupied by the lord ofthe lagna bein his exaltation or own sign identical with a Kona or l(endra,the yoga is called Kahala. The person who is born in Kahalayoga will thrive well, intelligent, cheerful, and helpful to oth-ers. He will be respected by people.

The book'Deva Keralam'however gives an alternate defi-nition for l(ahala yoga:

2. If Marg as the lord of the 10th house is in its exaltation,VargoththamaAmshaand beconjoined with the lord of the fthhouse, there arises Kahala yoga. One born in the yoga ofIbhala becomes a minister or a ommander-in-chief earning10,000 nishkas (gold coin) as inome.It suggests good incumeor pay. The yoga is caused by Mars as lord of the tenth house,gaining strength and ausplciousness due to combination withBhagradhipati (lord of fth house).

Lakshmt Yoga:

If the lord of the gth house and Venus be poeited in theirI own or exltation house identlcal with a Kendra or a Thrikona,the resultingyoga is called L,akshmi yoga.

Theyogasmentioned may not make apersonan emperor or a king;but certainly make him wealthy and powerful. He may be anoflicer wielding considerable authority.

Errcn thisyoga isonly a hint at the importance of the tenthhouse. It puts down two conditions. The tenth house from theMoon.should be occupied by the lorde of the gth, 1lth and 2ndhouses which are auspicious, producing fortune, gain andwealth. Secondly, Jupiter ehould own the 2nd, 5th or the llth.Thus Jupiter's beneflcial lnfluence is secured at least upon oneof theee throe auspicloug hous€s.

Thie is also a very important yoga, which frequently es-capes our notice. It produces unexpected gain of wealth andthe native becomes suddenly wealthy. The defrnition of thieyoga is as follows:

The lords of these houses may be connected with eachother by exchange of houses, mutual aspects etc., but shouldnot be combined or aspected by other planets.

A person born in this yoga will be a king or an emperor ofnuch wealth and rneans of happiness.

This is because under such a combination, the bad houses6,8 and 12 in the horoscope have been rendered weak. Conse-quently, the horoscope gains strength and benefic nature, andthe native ie raised to a high status.

Saturn becpmes a Yogakaraka. Saturn gener'ally girrcs good reeults in its own periods and sub periods. Andif Saturn ie strong, good profeeeion and high poeition arepossible.

3. For Ciemini ascendamt, Mercury nrle the 1st and the4th houses. So it becomes aYogakaraka- Tbere ig mueh clraneof getting wealth of mother provided Mencury is etrong andfarourably situated.

Jupiter becomes owner of 7th and 10th hotrses. Though itis said to be bad for health, hr profeseion it is not so. Jupiterig a natural benefic. Venue is also a benefic for this ascendant.

4, For Cancer ascendant, Mare becomes the nrler of the6th and the loth houses. It becomes a Yogalaraka. It rais€sone to a high position and girrcs good income. (see Sri Nehru'shoroscope. He became Prime Minister in Mars'period).

6. For Leo ascendant, Mercury rules 2nd and llth hous6which shows gain of wealth. Mercury may be bad for hedth.But it rules the 2nd and llth houses. Its periods may not begood as it is told that lord of llth hous€ is evil. Venus getsKendradhipatya by owning the 3rd and 10th houses. Hereagian More becomes the Yogakaraka by owning the 4th andthe 9th hous€s.

6. For Virgo ascendant, Merctrry rules the 1st and the 10thhouseg. As 10th house denotee father'g wealth, and it ie con'nected with the lagna, there arises chancs of getting father'swealth. Similarly, Venue owng 2nd and 9th houge. So, ifVenug is farmurably situated and strong, one gets wealththrough father.

7. For Libra ascendant, Venus owns 8th and the lagna. 8thhouse denotes wealth of wife. So, one may get wealth throughwife. Saturn beomes a Yogakaraka by owning the 4th and 6thhousee. Mmn rules the 10th house. When Moon is strong, onedeals in public work and gets fame. (See Malatna C'andhi's

8. For Sqorpio asendant, Sun rule the lOth houee. If Sunis etrong, one doee glorioue acts ard achieve great thingr.Jupiter owns the Znd and 6th hous. Ttrus there is likelihoodof getting wealth through one'e eons, provided Jupiter iestrong and situat€d farmurably in gpod houses.

9. For Sagittarius ascendant, Jupiter nrles the ascrendantand the 4th house. Jupiter is a benefic and beoomes aYogakaraka too. (* lagna can be treated as a thrikonasthana).Saturn owns the Znd and 3rd hous€s. 3rd houee denotes bnoth-ers and sisters. So, if Saturn is favourably eituated and iestrong, one gets wealth through hie brothere.

10. For Capricorn ascendant, Saturn rules the ascendantand the 2nd houees. If Saturn is strong, one earns wealth byself-acquisition. hi 6th and 10th housee, V€nus beoomesYogakaraka. One gets a decentjob. InVenus dasha" he getspromotions and lives happily.

11. For acquarius ascendant, aleo, Venus be@mee theYogakaraka. In its period, it gi\r€s good inome and happinees.Mars becomee neutral by ownrng the 4th and lfth houses.Ownership of lGndras nsmoves evil nature

12. For Piscee asendant, Jupiter owns the lst and t[e10th houses. If Jupiter ie etrong, there is chance of gettingwealth ftom fathdr, as Jupiter owns the se@nd house.

The above principlee. ghould not be taken as final andapplied indiscriminstely. It is glen only as an aid to guesingresults. For the neeults depend upon many other factors, i.e.,placement with regard to lagna, strength of the planet, itsaspect, cnqiunction and influence of other planets.

1. If the lords of two hous€s exchange signq tbey gBtconnected. For e:ranple if the lords of 2nd and 6th housgoexchange eigns, it would mean wealth and children ars oon-nected. If further the lord of Znd houe€ is placed in the 6th

house and the lord of the 6th hors is plamd in the 2nd house,this is a stronger corurection. There is poseibility of gettingwealth through children.

. [We eay possibility for the reason that each house connotesseveral thinp. 2nd house can denote learning, family etc., 6thhouse can denote intelligence, children, smusemente,favourite deity etc. So connection may be between some indica'tions other than children too. Unlees, we e:tanine the karakasand study the horoscope as a whole, we cannot be too definite.Readers should underetand this everywherel.

Similarly, e:rchange of 2nd house lord with the lord of anyother house can indicate gain of wealth througlt that eource.

Also it was told earlier, lords of 1, 2, 11 hous€s, Jupiter, thelords of the signs containing Sun and the Moon, all denotewealth. If some or more of these get related we orpect goodamount of wealth.

Here Dhanakaraka Jupi-ter is aspecting the 2ndhouse. He is aspecting thelord of lagna also by his ben.eficial aspect. Jupiter the lordof the 2nd house aspects the2nd house. Lord of lagnaSaturn ie connected withBhagradhipati Venus. Venusis not only a benefic here, butalso Yogakaraka as he rules aquadrant (4th house) and atrine house (9th house). Theplanet ruling Surya lagna and Janma lagn4 i.e., Saturn,happens to be associrated with the lord of the Chandra lagna.Thus Janma lagna, Chandra lagna and Surya lagna get on.nected. Jupiter is not only the lord of the 2nd house but also ofthe llth house. (Jupiter'e B/4 aspect falls upon the Uth house).Venus is placed in the 12th house with reference to Suryalagna and Janma lagna.

Rajayoga also because of the combination of the lords of the gth

1. If the lord of the lfth house is placed in the lst house incpmbination with the lord of the ascendant and has a beneficyoga" the natirrc will have muctr name and fane. He will wieldmuch power, and influenoe. He may become a minister or agreat official or even a minister.

[Some timee the Dashas of other planets situat€d in thestar of zuch planets or aseociated with euch planets may alsogive such resultsl.

The reason b clear. 10th houee indicates power and fame.Erlen its situation in the lagna is sufncient. But associationwith the lord of lagna and benefic yoga enlunee that euchresults will be certain to happen.

2. If the lord of the 10th hotrse is placed in the 2nd housein cpmbination with the lordofthe 2nd houseand hasabeneficyoga the pereon will acquire much wealth and will attainreputation as a rich man.

f,lhe reason is this: 10th house repreeents hme and profes.sion.Its combination with the 2nd lord should produce muchwealth and famel.

The person will be an important member of his family.[2nd houee repments h'nily; 10th houee status. So such aconbination ie etated to grve prominence in the famitvl.

Dasha Phalo of the Latd of the 70th Bhoua 189

Mostly he will be holding a government job. 10th houeerepresents government, 2nd house acquisition of money'

He will support many pemorxt and fbed them. He will bevery helpful to otherg.

Combinations with malefic planets will bring troublee,poverty and ill repute. He may become a notorious liar' [Zndhouse represents speech. Combination of 10th lord with

malefics there indicates ill'reputation by lieingl.

3. If the lord of the 10th house is plaed in the 3rd housewith its lord, and benefice, the natirrc will achieve fame for hisdeeds. He will rise in his occupation, or pat. He will becpmefamous for bravery.

Hiebrother will be famoue. [Reason: The third house rep'reeents brothers, brarrery etcl.

If the lord of the 10th hotree is weak, the reults may bepoor.

4. If the lord of the 10th house ie placed in the 4th house,alongwith its lord, the native will be happy and may achiewfamethrough his lands. He may get good inone through hislanded property.

[4th houe represents lands and happinese. Poeition of lordof 10th in the 4th hous€, can therefore bestow landed property'house and happiness provided the planent is strong and deviodof malefic influencegl.

If there will be malefic yogas, it may bring troubles.

5. If the lord of the 10th house ie plaed in he bth house,along with its lord, and hae a benefic yoga, the penson is'blessed

with ministership or a kingdom. He becomes famous asa wealthy pe$Dn. If the planets are ininical towards eachother, or badly placed in Navamsha chakra (eighth plae) ftomeach other, the results wlll beome poor.

6. If the lord of the tenth house is placed in the 6th house,in otbination with its lord, the person may be oaupying agood pet in the ourt of law.

Satyaclrarya includes law court &s an indication of theeixth house.

lOth house rules profeseion. Placement of the lord of the10th houee in the 6th house thus indicates profession in the@urt.

His maternal uncle will be famoug and influential[6th houee indicateg maternal uncle]. If there is malefic loga,the native pur€ues a low job. He may suffer loss€s in trade.[6th house ls generally considered to be a bad hotrse. It candenote las in trade becauee it is the l2th counted from the Zthhouse. And, 7th house is stat€d to be the house denotingtradel.

If the lord of the 10th house is placed in the Zth house incombination with the lord of the Zth house, the natirrc,g wifemay oome ftom good family.

[10th house indicateg rank and honour. Zth house indi-cate wife. Connection between the two houees.nay thereforeindicate that wife oomes ftom a reepectable h-ityl.

He will get fame in foreign land.

Or he may earn hie living with the help of his wife.

Or he may go on pilgrimages.

[7th house denotes travel. lfth house pilgrimagBs]. Or hemay b€ emplryed in traneport department-t7lh house denotesrnrll,

Dasln Plnlo of the Lord of the 10th Bhovo t4l,

If there is a bad yoga, he will earn his living with greatdifliculty in a foreign place. Or he may marty in a bad family,or his wife may be separated from him.

[The bad results stat€d will be in accordanoe with theintensity of the bad yogal.

If the lord of the 10th be placed in the 8th along with itslord the person may be intemted in bad deedg. Hirs ocupationmay be endangered or lost. (If a beneficyoga is there, it will notbe lost). There may be internrptions to agriculture. His landsmay be affected. There may be breaks in his education. Or hisconveyances may be spoiled. Benefic yoga will alleviate theevil.

[The 10th house denotee profession, it indicates convey-ances and education tm as it lg the ?th counted from the 4th.8th house signifies for obetacles and internrptions. Therefore,results have been mentioned like thisl.

If the lord of the 10th house is placed in the 9th house,along with its lord, it is a R4iayoga. If Jupiter is also strong,the person does good deeds, will be rich and famous. He willget royal patronage and good appointment. His father will alsobe an illustrious person.

The reasons are obvious. 10th house denotes good deeds,fame, profession etc. 9th house denotes fortune. Combinationbrings extreme luck. 9th house denotee father. 10th denoteewealth and fame. Combination therefore, mak6 the father anillusrtrious personl.

If Venus is powerful, the persons will have precious jeweleand onveyances.

[Venus is the l(arnka forJewels and oonrnyanceeJ.

If Mercury is powerful, the person gpts gpod education andadrantages thereby.

Mercury is the Ibraka for educationl.

If Mmn is strong, the person will be a treasurer or acrrltivator of fielde and gardens.

If the Sun is strong, the person gets employment in thegovernment or ie a phpician. [Sun denotes gpvernment andphysiciansl

If the lord of the lfth house is situat€d in the 12th house,nmbined with the lord of the 12th house, and is also subjectedto malefic yoga" the pereon suffers disgrace and dishonour. Hemay lose his job or he may be demoted. If he ie in businese,there may be set backs.

If there be benelic yogast, he may do religious rites. If thelord of the tenth house is a malefic, the native may wander along distance.

f,Ihe reasons are theee. lfth house is bad. It denotes loss,diffrculties, troubles etc. So when the lord of the 10th housegoes to the 12th house, indications ofthe 10th house get spoilt.This is why it ie told that he suffers diggrae and there may beset back in his bugineesl.

Daeho Phola of thc Lod of the 10th Bhavo 148

So in the pr€vious pages, wehave givenenoughmaterial tostudy the 10th house. Firetly the indications of the houses andthe planets have to be clearly master€d. Then one ehould knowthe indications of the various signs. Also we hane girrcn theprofessions 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 issolely determined by the tenth house alone. It is here that thedifliculty arises. lOth house has se\€ral indications. It indi'cates performanc€s of religious rites also. The 10th house tusto be considered from the lagna and the Chandra lagna. For inmany cases, the Chandra lagna may be mor\e powerful inexerting its influence. Apart from this, we gave the rules fordetemining the aptitudee. The horoecope has to be judged asa whole. Then we should not ignore the influences of Chandralagna, Janma lagna and Surya lagna in guessing the profes-sion. For, the lagnqs glrc a good deal of information about theperson. His aptitudes, nature, and profeseion are some timesindicated by the influence of planets on the lagnas. For this,Sudarshana Paddhati may be adopted. Lastly, the yogaspresent in the horoscope are to be carefully noted. For, it isthese yogas which rais€ a man to a high status in life. Infoma-tion regardingimportant yogas hasbeen given. With the aid ofthese principles, we may now study some illustrative horo-scop€s and e€e how the profesions are indicated in theee.Readers may collect more and morehoroecpesand study them.It will be a rewarding experlence and surely they will noticethe role played by planets in regard to the choice of profession.Also, as we said earlier, the Navamshachart, and Bhava chartshoud be prepared and then only the horwcope can be studiedproperly. The distinction between Rasi and Bhava has to beborne in mind. Also the Naramsha Chakra ie of great impor-tane. A planet may appear rrery weak in the r.asi but may bestrong in the Navamsha chart. Then we cannot think that theplanet is weak. Similarly, readers would have notied thatMihira, Satya, Farasara etc., attach great importance toNavamsha. In fact, they want us to d€cide the profession by aeonsideration of the lord of the Navameha in which the lord of

He entered politics in Venus Mahatlasha. In Sun's dashahis fame steadily increased. In the dasha of Mars, the lord ofthe 10th house, Jawaharlal becante Prime Minister during thesub-period of Rahu which represents Mercury (Rahu is placedin Mercury's rasi) and Jupiter (Rahu is fully aspected byJupiter). Parasarab principles arc totally true here. The sub-period of Jupiter (Bharyadhipati) in the major period ofYogakaraka has to be good. But as the node Rahu is aspectedby Jupiter, in Mars-Rahu period, his elevation to the high postis in agreement with Astrological principles'

He was very rich. His second house receives the beneficialaspect of Jupiter (trine aspect). Dhanakaraka Jupiter isstrongly placed in his own sign. Lord of 11 is placed in own signin the 4th house. It is combined with Mercury. Mercury rulesthe 3rd house. It is strongly placed in the 4th house. He washighly learned and wrote many books.

He was the Prime Minister in Rahu Dasha also. Rahurepresents Mercury which is combined with Venus and as'pects the 10th house. Rahu is powerfully aspected byBharyadhipati Jupiter. So, Ilahu is connected with 9, 10 and11. There is another way of analysis. Venus is the Karaka of avery powerful Yoga-Malavya Mahayoga, which is mainly re-sponsible for giving Pt. Nehru the Prime Ministership. ThatVenus is combined with Mercury, and Mercury is a friend ofVenus. So, Mercury shouldgive auspicious results of Ve-nus. Rahu represents Venus,because Rahu is placed in thesign of Mercury, and Mercuryand Venus both aspect the10th 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 isconnection between lords of 2nd and 10th houses. As Mars

denotes leadership and Sun is for C'overnment, she headed theGovernment of a great country.

There is Clear Ingna.dhi yogo.

Also Sun which is strongly connected with Mars is relatedto Jupiter by aspect. Thus lords of 2,9,6, and 10 are connectedtogether. Not only this, Venus and Jupiter are closely relatedbecause they have exchanged signs. Venus is the lord of 4 and11. Thus the tenth house lord is oonnected with lords of 2, 9, 10and 11. Readerg can now understand the strength of this great

horoscope.

Now we will study the tenth house in pa.rticular. It fialls inthe 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'because it is in the sign of Sun. Not only this, it hae exchangedsigns with the Sun. Sun indicates royal power. It representsGovernment. Thus Mars gets inmense power. Thus there isclose relation between the lords of 5, 10 and 2nd houses. 6thhouse represents ministership. Since the 10th house is 8opowerfully connected with the 5th house, ministership wasbestowed. Readere will further note that Mars is theYogakaraka 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 weakin the sign of Taurus. Here it is not so. Jupiter has exchangedsigns with Venus. Venus is Labhadhipati Jupiter isBhagradhipati. Thus Bhagadhipati and Labhadhipati arevery strongly related. And such a Bhagiadhipati Jupiter isaspecting the Sun. Jupiter is by nature a benefic. Herc it is theJord ofthe 9th house further. Such ajupiter aspects the lord ofth€ lagns by its powerful, benefic, trine aspect. Mars is

aspecting the Sun and Mercury. Readers will notice, that anumber of benefic yogas are present . Powerful Vasumad' yogais also present. Jupiter is in 11 and has exchanged signs withVenus lord of 11. In the 6th house Venus is present. In additionto this, therg is Lagnadhi yoga. All theseyogas, have given thehigh 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 housesaspect each other thereby producing another powerful

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 andMihira's Karakakhya yoga is pr€sent. Powerful Vesi yoga ispresent as the second house from the Sun is occupied by twovery auspicious planets-Mercury and Venus' (See how therules of Varaha Mihira are proving true here).

The Moon rules public life. It is placed in the tenth housein own house. So he was a great leader of the masses, thefather of the nation. There wer€ several changes in his life andin his early years, he had many voyages too' (This is only toindicate that Astrological principles are coming true perfectly).

In Rahu dasha, he was arrested probably due to Moon-Rahu combination. In Chandra lagna, Rahu is placed. He

He Practisedpolitics, was the chief Minister of Madras and later he wrotemany books connected with religion and philosophy. He was agrfted speaker. All this is due to Mercury being placed in the2nd house and the placement of the lord of the 10th house inthe lagna ensuring success and glory. Saturn and Jupiter haveexchanged houses.
