A good career signifies a fulfilling job or business that brings financial stability, social respect, and personal satisfaction. In astrology, the 10th house (Dasham Bhava) and its lord are the primary indicators of one’s career.

When the 10th house lord is strong, exalted, or positioned favorably in the chart (e.g., in the 10th or 11th house), it ensures career success. Conversely, if the 10th house or its lord is afflicted, it indicates challenges in professional life.

Importance of the 10th House and Its Lord

Strength of the 10th House:

A strong 10th house or its lord in the chart leads to professional growth.

Raj Yoga and Success:  A connection between the 10th house lord and benefic planets forms Raj Yoga, which guarantees extraordinary achievements.

Astrological Examples

1. Taurus Ascendant:  10th Lord Saturn: In Taurus ascendant, Saturn governs the 10th house.

If Saturn is placed in the 10th house, 11th house, or exalted in the 6th house (Libra), the native enjoys a stable and successful career.

Raj Yoga formed by Saturn further boosts professional growth.

2. Cancer Ascendant:  10th Lord Mars: In Cancer ascendant, Mars is the 10th house lord.

If Mars is positioned in the 11th house with Venus, it brings remarkable success.

The 11th house signifies gains and achievements.

3. Leo Ascendant:  10th Lord Venus: In Leo ascendant, Venus is the 10th house lord.

When Venus is placed with benefic planets like Jupiter and Mars in the 10th or 11th house, the native attains fame and significant career success.

4. Scorpio Ascendant:  10th Lord Sun: In Scorpio ascendant, the Sun is the 10th house lord.

If the Sun combines with the 5th lord Jupiter in the 10th house, it ensures fame and a distinguished career.

How to Attain Fame in Career

Fame is achieved when the 10th house and its lord align with the 5th house or the Sun, symbolizing recognition and leadership.
