The 10th House: Your Karma Kshetra
In Vedic Astrology, the 10th House represents your public standing, career, and authority. The planet placed here, or the lord of this house, dictates your natural profession.
Planetary Indicators
- Sun: Government, leadership, administrative roles, medicine.
- Moon: Caregiving, hospitality, public relations, water-related fields.
- Mars: Engineering, police/military, surgery, real estate.
- Mercury: IT, accounting, writing, marketing, trade.
- Jupiter: Teaching, law, finance, counseling.
- Venus: Arts, fashion, luxury items, media.
- Saturn: Mining, oil, labor-intensive industries, service.
- Rahu/Ketu: Research, technology, aviation, unconventional careers.
Job or Business?
If the 7th house (partnerships/business) and its lord are stronger than the 6th house (service/job), business is favored. Conversely, a strong 6th house indicates success in service. Sometimes, a mix suggests a "Consultant" role—working for oneself but serving clients.
