TENTH HOUSE
91. 10th house denotes the two knees and back bone of the native. The matters which concern 10th house are the natives business, occupation, livelihood, father, sovereign, government, position, administrative appointment, happiness, banner, rain, drought, action, family etc.
92. Just as all about mother is to be considered from 4th house, so all about father should be considered from 10th house. If the lord of 10th be a benefic planet with adequate strength and be associated with benehc planets, or if 10th house has benefic planets in it and be aspected by friendly planete be all auspicious (that is, favourable to the native).
93. If a full and strong Moon occupies 4th house, Venus with adequate strength be in 7th and Mercury be in 10th, the effects of 10th house would be favourable to the native. (In this case Sun would also be in 10th house). If Jupiter also joins Mercury in 10th, the native would derive full happiness from his brother, mother, father and lands. The native would enjoy full prosperity if Jupiter, Venus, Mercury and full Moon (i.e. all natural benefics) be placed in 10th house. (Here Sun would be in 4th house).
94. The result would be auspicious for the native if the benefic planets posited in 10th be aspected by benefics. If male planets be strong in 10th, the male members would dominate in the family matters. If female planets be strong there the dominant role in the family would be played by the female members. Men, who have Jupiter in 10th in their birth charts, would be happy. If there be Sun in 10th house aspected by benefics, the native would perform a number of virtuous deeds.
95. The native would suffer from pain in his knees if Sun be in 10th or aspects 10th house. If Mars be in 10th, the native would suffer from injuries, ulcers, wounds through weapons or tire. If Saturn and Rahu be in 10th, the native would suffer from wind. Also the native, his parents or his wife would have a black mole or mark on their back.
96. If Saturn be in 10th conjoined with Sun or Rahu and aspected by Mars, the natives father would die in a foreign land. If 10th house be in a malefic sign and occupied or aspected by malefics, or by both benefics and malefics, the result would be inauspicious for the native. He may have to suffer from the wrath of the king or the government. The native would also be separated from his mother.
97. If Sun aspected by Saturn and Rahu be in 10th in a malefic sign, the death of the father may take place in the period of any of the three planets involved in this combination. If there is query whether the rainfall would be good or not, the answer would be in the affirmative if 10th house be occupied by benefics.
The answer would be in the negative if planets posited there be malefics. Similarly the rainfall would be good if there be benefics in 10th house in the query chart and a strong Moon receives the aspect of benefics. If there be malefics in 10th and Moon be aspected by malefics, there would be no rainfall. Even if there is rain it would do more harm than good.
98. The source of livelihood or occupation of the native may be judged from the planet occupying 10th house with adequate strength or the planet with similar strength aspects 10th house. Again, Navamsa of 10th house from Ascendant, Moon or Sun, whichever the strongest, would indicate the profession. If Moon be stronger than Ascendant the profession indicated for Moon should be predicted that is the native would acquire wealth through his skill in the use of language, by trading, by proficiency in various arts etc.
99. If Sun be stronger than Ascendant and Moon, the native would earn his livelihood by pursuing several occupations. If Mars be the strongest planet and be posited in 10th from Ascendant or Moon, the native would earn his livelihood by pursuing base occupations and would remain in his native place, but if he goes abroad he would indulge in sensual pleasures.
100-101. If Mercury be placed in 10th house, similarly with reference to Moon and Ascendant the native would be at the head of many concerns and would be good in earning money through his knowledge of arts and political compositions. If Jupiter be posited in 10th house with the same disposition, the. native would enjoy great prosperity and special greatness and he would be virtuous. When Venus be similarly posited, the native would be a successful man would have decent earnings, would be liked by the king (or government), wou!d lead a comfortable life and would possess knowledge of various arts. If Saturn be in the same position the native would have evil disposition, weakness of body, and would suffer badly on account of prolonged litigation.
102-103-There would be acquisiton of wealth from: 1) father if Sun be posited in 10th house. 2) mother if Moon be so placed, 3) enemies if Mars be in 10th, 4) friend if Mercury be there, 5) brother if Jupiter be in 10th, 6) wife if Venus be in 10th, 7) inferior if Saturn be posited in 10th. The earning could also be by means of profession prescribed for the ruler of Navamsa occupied by planet owning 10th place from Ascendant, Sun or Moon. If such lord is Sun, the native would earn his livelihood by dealing in gold, medicine etc.
If the Navamsa belongs to Moon, the livelihood wou!d be by taking up agricultural pursuits, dealing in food materials and things taken out from water (pearls, Ash, etc.). If Mars be the lord of Navamsa, the native would earn his living by doing violent acts. He may be in the police or army or be a surgeon or a butcher. If Mercury rules the Navamsa, the live.ihood would be earned by working as a writer, poet, orator or as an artist. If the lord of Navamsa be Jupiter the natives means of earning would be by engaging in religious acts. If Venus be the ruler of Navamsa, the money would be earned through sale or purchase of jewellery or through women and beautiful objects. If Saturn be the lord of Navamsa the .native would earn his livelihood by undesirable means.
104. The profession of the native would generally be that indicated by planet owning Navamsa occupied by lord of 10th from Ascendant Moon or Sun whichever be strongest. The native would gain wealth, land, comforts and fame, if planets placed in 10th, Ascendant and 2nd house be bcneflcs and endowed with shad-varga strength.
