Career in your kundli: what the 10th house says

In short: In Vedic astrology, career is read from the 10th house, the house of rule, livelihood, honour, the father, living abroad and debts (BPHS 11.11). A strong 10th lord in its exaltation, its own sign or its own aṃśa makes one famous and a doer of good deeds (21.2); a weak one brings defects in work (21.3). Rājayogas — the lords of the lagna and the 5th related (39.5), the 9th lord with the ātmakāraka in the lagna, 5th or 7th (39.8) — give authority, in the periods of the planets that make them.

Parāśara reads livelihood, honour and authority from the 10th house. Chapter 21 gives its rules, chapters 39 and 40 the rājayogas, and the daśā chapters say when they come into force. Your reading checks every one of them on your chart.

The 10th house and its lord

From the 10th house is the examination of rule, livelihood, honour, the father, living abroad, and debts.

Bṛhat Parāśara Horā Śāstra 11.11

With the 10th lord strong and in its exaltation, its own aṃśa or its own sign, the native is rich in happiness from his father, famous, and a doer of good deeds.

Bṛhat Parāśara Horā Śāstra 21.2

If the 10th lord lacks strength, declare defects in work.

Bṛhat Parāśara Horā Śāstra 21.3

With the 10th lord joined with a benefic and placed in a good place, there is always gain at the royal court and in trade; otherwise, the reverse.

Bṛhat Parāśara Horā Śāstra 21.4

With the 10th lord exalted in a kendra or trikoṇa, joined with or aspected by Jupiter, he is endowed with (worthy) work.

Bṛhat Parāśara Horā Śāstra 21.14

With the 11th lord in the 10th, the 10th lord strong and aspected by Jupiter, one has good fame.

Bṛhat Parāśara Horā Śāstra 21.20

Rājayoga: the combinations for authority

Chapter 39 builds rājayogas from the lords of the lagna and the 5th, and from the soul-significator (ātmakāraka) and the putrakāraka. It grades them by strength.

By the relation of the lords of the lagna and the 5th, and of the two kārakas, ātma and putra, (the result is) full, half or a quarter, according to strength.

Bṛhat Parāśara Horā Śāstra 39.5

The 9th lord and the (ātma)kāraka, in the lagna, the 5th or the 7th, joined with or aspected by benefics, give rājayoga.

Bṛhat Parāśara Horā Śāstra 39.8

Questions

Can astrology tell which job is right for me?

The text speaks of honour, authority, gain at court and in trade, good or defective work, and fame. It does not name modern professions, and horoAstro does not invent them.

Why is my career line marked 'open'?

Because two verses disagree and the text's own rules do not decide between them in your chart. The reading shows both and says why.

Is the career reading free?

Your kundli and its divisional charts are free. Your career reading — the 10th house, its lord, the rājayogas your chart meets and the periods when they work, each with its verse — is part of the full reading, which is a plan for that kundli, a month or a year; the price, with any introductory offer, is shown on this page.
