Introduction This book seeks to present a systematic study of the tenth house. In the preparation of this book, a great number of ancient and modern bookshave been consulted.The intention is to study the subject of Astrolory scientifically. The study of any scienceis based on experiments, observationsand inferences. Every science grows on the basis of the work of the predecessors,who devotedtheir lives to study, research,practice and teaching. We grve the material from the works of the ancient seers. But the rules given by them have some limitations. In thoee days, there were not so many professions as we have these-dap. Therefore, it calls for fresh study, research,analysis and conclusions.In addition we have given the opinions of western authors that are basedon research studiee. We harrc cpllected material fiom a large number of bmks by great authorities and best writers both oriental and western on the subject. Good number of exampleshave been added to illus. trate the principlee. And in each, we do find the tnrth of Astrological principles becomingprominent. We hopethat thirs will arouse interest in the etudents for further study and research. There can be differencesof opinion among echolarson the subject. If they are pointed out, we shall be happy to record new opinions if found convincing.

house, the determination of one's professionand financial position. Before entering into the suhject,we reproducehere some of the basic principles of Astrolory for convenienceof ready reference. In every horoscope,there are twelve houses' The ascendant is the sign rising at the time of birth. The tenth house representsthJzenith. The fourth houserepresentsnadir. The seventh is the sign setting at the time of brith. Horoscopes are cast and represented differently in different parts of the country.

In the north Indian method, the sigrrs are indicated by numbers. 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 the seventh house, i.e., the sign Vrischika (Scorpio), Saturn is posited. 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 this is widely used now-a-days in all parts of India. Readensshould familiarise with both methods. Rasi

Theee27 stars are governd by the 9 planets. Each planet rules over three stars at an interval of 120. Kethu over Aswini Magha and Moola. Venus over Bharani, Poorva Phalguni and Purvashadha etc. Each star denotesa division of the zodiac of length 19"20'.ThusAswini denotesa distanceof 13"20' of the zodiac fnom 0 of Aries. These divisions are extremely important in prodictive astrolory. Each star extends over fpur Navamshas. Each NaVamsha denotes a portion of zodiac of length 3'20'. The true longitudesof the planets, can be easi\ obtained from standard panchangasor ephemerislike those of Lahiri. They should be enteredin the form of a table, denoting the star and star lord for each planet. Exaltation Plnneta

The Navamsha chakra is very important for arriving at correct ctnclusions. One cannot arive at the results Qerely following the Rasi chart. Planets in Vargoththama become auspicious. Lagna in Vargoththama navamsha makes one fortunate. QIq qtffi Erq - Mihira). A planet though weak in nasi, if farrcurably poeited in the Navamshadiagram, derives

strenth. A planet may be debilitated in Rasi but may be exalted in Navamsha. Then we cannot treat it as a bad planet. Moreover, with a little practice, by looking af the Navamshd {iagram, one can know the star-lord of the planet. For these resons the rasi chart should be always accompanied by the Navamsha chart. Each Navamsha measures 3o20'. The first Navamsna of Aries is named Aries. The second is called Taurus etc, in the order 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 be Libra. 'The first Navamsha of Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces will be Cancer. The first Navamsha of Leo, Sagittarius and Aries will be Aries. Now, frorn the true longitudes of the planets the Navamshas in which they are loacated can be easily calculated and the Navamsha Chakra can be drawn. Bhava
Chakra
The Bhava Chakra should be ca-staccurately. The cusp of the houses can be calculated very accurately using standard ephemeris like those of Lahiri, Raphael etc. The Rasi chart sometimes misleads. It is not enough. When the lagna is at the beginning ofa sign or at the end ofa sign, one cannot arrive at correct 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 produce the effects of the house to the full extent. When it is at the ends, it gives very little eflbcts. For other positions, we have to guess the results by the method of proportion. The method of prepartion of the Bhava Chaka should be understood carefully from standard manuals of Astrologr.

All the planets aspect the ?th house from the house where they are posited. Saturn, Jupiter and Mars hare special aspects 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:

Positions
The true longitudeeof eachplanet, at birth time, should be aeurately calculated with the help of somestandard ephemeris or good Panchanga. The Ayanamsha used should be reoordedin the form of a table. Then, it should be found out in which gtar is each planet plaed. Then the lord of the star should be recorded. There is close aonnection between the planets and their star lords. During the Dasha periods also, one experiencesthe results of the star lords. If we ignore the star lords and only dependupon the rasi chart, it will be moet incnmplete.Very many facts cannot be explained adequately unlessthe nature of the star lord is included.In stellar AstroloS/, even the star-lords of the various cusps of houses are calculated and recorded.

Chapter II
Planets and Profession Plannets in 10th house, lord of the 10th house, those influencing Lagna, lord of lagna, the Sun and the Moon, are all significators of profession. The signs oaupied by the significators of profession also influence the nature of the profession. Consideration of all the three lagnas - Janma lagna, Chandra lagna and the Surya lagna is necessary. So the great writers 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 indicate the professions. Thus it is necessary to know the professions indicated by the different planets and by the signs first of all. Then these have to synthesised together. For this, one has to study a good number of horoscopes. Also, the same person will follow different occupations at different periods. For this, it would be necessarlr to examine the dasha periods he will be running. The nature of the planets vary according to the aspects, conjuction, placement, the signs and houses of occupation, the Navamshas they occupy, the stars they occupy and so on. Firstly we will broadly outline the jobs ascribed to each planet.

The Sun denotesemployment in the State Service, administration or management. It indicates people having much authoriy and power. The Sun denotesgovernment offrcials,kings and administrators. One may be in a government service,or in the senrice of a noble man or king. The Sun indicates one's father. When the Sun is connected with the 10th house. One may have income through his father. Or he may use his father's property as capital and thereby prosper. This can be so when the influence ofthe lords 9 or 5 falls on the Sun. The Sun indicates medicines, and medical profession too. If it is a significator of profession, by being connected with the 10th house, and other signifrcantors (like Mars) also denote the same, one may take to medical profession. Influence of Mars, Kethu etc. would indicate professione connected with frre and frre arms. Influence ofJupiter, as lord of 9th house would point out to chantig of hymns and the profession of a priest. Or he may be emplbyed in a mutt or a religious institution. The reason for this is, that the Sun is a satvic planet. Influence of the 12th house is also to be considered here. For the twelfth house is said to have close connection with temples because the Sun indicates timber. When it is connected with the lord of the 4th houe, one may be supplier of timber for house construction.

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.

The Sun indicates profession of father also. The Sun is a frery planet. If it is connected with Mars, or Kethu, the profeesion 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 monehouses. Thus the two indications (i.e., of the planets and the houses) have to be blended together. Consideration should be done w.r.t. Lagna and Chandra lagna. In tfre present section, the aignifrcance of the planets is being given. It should be properly synthesised with the indications of houses and alter careful judgment, find conclusion should be a:rived at. The

(This is because of the influence of Jupiter). Satyacharya says that the Moon rules over agriculture, things produced in water, women, and interest on money. The Moon rules over public commodities such as groceries, frsh, drinks etc. It denotes such occupations where one meets the general public. - The Moon denotes changes and travels also. If afflicted, and connected with the 10th house, it may denote change in business, occupation and employment. The Moon represents one'smother and mind.

The Tenth House And Its Significance The tenth house is a very important house in the horoscope of a person. It is the house which determines one's rank, social status, and profession ofa person. In thisbook, we have given plenty of examples, a study of which will clearly point out to the importance of this house.

These signs are respectively known as the lagna, the dashama lagna, the Surya lagna and the Chandra lagna. They exercise propound influence on one's life. But eastern as well as western authorities recommend their consideration and careful judgement for arriving at correct conclusions. The tenth house has to be invariably judged not only from the lagna but also from the Chandra lagna. This is considered the opinion of ancient sages and scholars like Varahamihira.

In queries regarding diseases,the fbth house denotes the patient according to Tajika.

Some judge matters regarding one's father from the 10th house. (The ancient Hindu texts, however, associate the 9th house as the house ruling one'sfather.

He says that all the planets placed in the tenth house counted from Lagna or the Moon are to be understood as bestowers of income in their respective periods according to their karakatva or significance. Also income can be told according to the occupation indicated by the planets which rule the Navamashas in which the tenth house cusps from Lagna, the Moon, and the Sun fall. This very view is repeated in phaladeepika by Mantreswara also. Thus it is very importq,nt to consider the three Lagnas: _ Janma lagna, Chandra lagna and Surya lagna and the plinets in the 10th house from these lagnas. Then the lord of the Navamsha in which the lord of the 10th house counted from these lagnas is to be considered.

If it is moderately strong, moderate fortune is indicated.If it is nery weak, incomefrom profession will be small. Then one has to asc€rtain the yogakaraka for profession i.e., significator for profession. (Planet placed in the tenth house,its lord planets ruling the navamshain which the lord of the tenth houseis placed). If the Sun is the yogakarakafor profession,and is situated in the 10th house,the pereonwill be employedin government service. If such a Sun is aspectedby Jupiter the native will be in templeservice. If such a Sun is aspectedby or associatedwith Saturn, he will be in a low service. If it is associatedwith Rahu, he might be serving a low caste (Mlechchha)ruler.

The nature of the signs has to be given great consideration. Great writers on the subjectsay that airy signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) show much literary work. The fiery signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) denotemachineryand occupationsin which ftre, iron, and metals are used. The earthy signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) show work connectedwith earth, agriculture, trade of corn, labour, healy work, gardening, building, carpentary and masonarSl. The airy signs (Gemlni,LibraAquarius) are termed scientific signs. They only indicate literary work, mental occupa' tions, interest in scientiflc studies, and shop-keepingetc. The sign Scoropio produces doctors, physicians and chemists. Wherea.sthe sign Ariee denotesconnectionwith Army. The watery signs Caner, Piscesand Scorpioproduce those connectedwith public work and water. It producespublicans, 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 Sagittarius indicate messengers,dealers booksellersand printers also. Westerners recommendanother method. Note in which type of signs majority of the planets are situated: movable, fixed or common. (1) If the majority of the planets are found in movable signe, it makes one very energeticand actirre,ambitious and hard working. He may be a leader, inventor, pioneer, a good organiser or a good buglness man. (Examle: C'andhdl's horoecope:5 planeti.r are in Chara rasi). (2) If the m4iority of the planets are in fixed sigrs, it denoteeplain, rigid nature. Onebecomespatient and steadfast and follows the rulee of descipline. They are successful in government service, and other well established occupations requirlng etrict disclpline (euchas thoseof physicians etc).

The planets owning the 10th house, placed in the L0th house, the karakas will produce favour of the king, promote 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 meritorious deeds. The planets in the llth house, during their periods and subperiods also will produce gains. So also the planets in the 2nd house and owningthe 2nd house. The Dasha Bhukthi principles should be studied from Phaladeepika, Laghu Parasari, Jataka Parijata and other standard text books. We quote here only those relating to the 1.0thhouse.

So, we have to consider planets placed in the tenth house, the lord of the tenth house, planets associated with these aspecting these and consider their Dasha-Bhtrkthi periods.
qffidcroqgHr il*s Rrtr E"-qtfiql !frffi yffi T'wtc-{faqrffi sdc+ftnqr{rl During the Da-shaof the lord of the 10th house the person concerned will successfully complete any undertaking commenced by him. He will lead a happy life. He becpmesfamous and gets a permanent position. He commands great respect. All the good results are to be understood, when the planet is strong and has benefic aspects, influence of benefics. Otherwise results will be different. Example: A certain person gets employment in RahuKetu period. Rahu was aspected by the lord of 10th house Jupiter. Moon was conjoined with the lord of the 10th house. In the sign of the Moon, Kethu was placed. The nodes become stronger than the planets when they are aspected or when they are placed in the signs of a planet. Thus, due care is to be given to the planets conjoined and aspected by the lord ofthe tenth house. In another horoscope, a person gets appointment during Rahu Dasha, Jupiter Bhukthi. Rahu was placed in 6th house, in the sign of Mercury which was in the 10th house. And Jupiter was placed in the star of the tenth lord. Thus we find that of the Dasha lord and Bhukthi lord are connected with 10th lord, even at the time of getting employment. Similarly the lord of 2nd house, the planets placed in the second house, planets assoclated with the lord of second house have to be considered. Also we should consider planets aspecting these. AU theee, in their periods and suu-periods can give wealth. See:

Also it is an established fact supported by ancient works that planets during their dasha.sgive the effects of the planete in whose stars they are placed. Thus Jupiter when placed in the star ofthe lord ofthe 10th house, can give results relating to the 10th house.

The periods of yogakarakas generally prove very auspicious.One should apply the rules of "Jataka Chandrika" for studying the nature of periods and sub-periods.Promotions and gains of wealth are possibleduring the sub-periods of benefics having connectionwith 1,2,5,10& gth houses during the course of the dasha of a yogakaraka. This will be more so, when the lords of the major period and the sub-periods are friends of each other and are favourably situated. Planets

Same is the result when if becomesuseak in Gochara. When a planet is favourably placed in the secondhouse, it gives wealth. But if it is heavily afllicted, it will bring loes of wealth. For example, Jupiter in the second house gives good amount of wealth provided it has the strength to do so. This will be so when it is in exaltation, friendly sign, own house etc.

Though Janmalagna is of primary importance, in this respect, consideration of Chandralagna is also required. Very often planets placed in lagna or Chandra lagna signiff the profession. In Phaladeepika it is mentioned that in the dasha of the strong lord of lagna, one's prosperity continuously increases. From these considerations, it is clear that asc€ndants and planets plaeed therein have a great influence over one's wealth. Strong planets placed in the lagna signiff the profession. If Mercury is there, the person may earn his livelihood through writing or teaching. When three or more auspicious planets occupy the ascendant, people born are happy, prosperous and wealthy like kings. On the other hand if three or more evil planets occupy the ascendant people born are ovencomewith grief, diseases, fear and rejected by others. So oys Saravali (a classical text on

Gajakesari yoga arises when Jupiter is in a Kendra position from the Moon. (Even here it is with reference to Chandra I,agna). In Sakata yoga, Moon does not get the benef,rcinfluence of Jupiter since they are in 6,8 houses mutually. ,

In Saravali, it is told that when the lord of the lagna is placed in the Navamsha of 6th, 8th and 12th lords one becomes poor. From this discussion, it will be clear that Lagna and Chandra lagna deserve close scrutiny in matters concerning wealth. Westerners too, attach great importance to the aspects received by the Sun and Moon in considering money matters. According to Pgrashara's rules too, if malefics have conneetion with lagna in their conjoined periods loss of wealth has been told.

Here the first houseis occupiedby the Sun, the Moon and lagna. Keeping this as the ascendant,the other hous€s are to be understood. Accordingto the planetary occupations,the results are to be understood. In.the lst house Sun may be treated as a benefic but in other places, it is to be taken as giving bad effects. Even a malefic planet, poeit€d in own sign or exaltation sign, doesnot producebad results.In this way, seeingthe good and evil results, one should interpret the results of the houses. Thus it is a method of divining the result taking into consideration all the three lagnas-Janmalagna, Chandralagna and Suryalagna.

The house conjoined or aspected by the lord and the benefics flourishes. The house occupied or aspected by malefics, decays. The hous€ which ie subjected to the evil influence of a very large number of evil planets, naturally becomesweak and its significance becomesfeeble. In ancient times, the practice of judging the horoscope with respectto all the three lagnaswas very much in vogue. This becomes clear from many ver€€€rof Varahamihira in Brihat Jataka such as 3qg{ffitffi IRcII:etc. Even in the matter of guessing one's profession, SudarshanaPaddhati can be employedand results bejudged. It is no novel method, but only an old method taught by our ancient sages. A planet which is a yogakaraka with respect to all the three lagnas,gets threefold power to produe beneficreeults. And one malefic with respectto all the three lagnas,naturally becomesextremely weak to producesignificant 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 fall into either of these two sets, the results ofthe benefics and the Yogakarakas will be very much pronounced and of a high order. Now we shall apply this Sudarshana Paddhati to the horoscopes of a few persons and show the advantages of this procedure. 1. This is the horoscopeof Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru.

The lagna, Chandra lagna and Surya lagna all are ruled by Moon 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 a yogakaraka with respect to his Janma lagna and Chandra lagna. 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 Minister of India. The tenth house receives the aspect of its own lord Mars; Venus and Mercury and the tenth house form the Surya lagna" aspect of Jupiter. The role of Mars as also the strength of the tenth house becomes more clear from considerations of Sudarshana Paddhati. For want of space, and other considerations of difficulties of preparing diagrams we do not give them. The student can easily draw thern and veriff for himself. If there is no planet in a house, the aspecting planets determine the effect. If no planet aspects the house, the lords of the house will determine the eflbcts. Parashara recommends the consideration of varga,sof the planets also. If a planet is in benefic varga,its strength increases. Mahatma Gandhi's horosc-opeis given as e:rample. At a glance, we are able to see the influence of the benefic planets on the tenth house. It is aspected by the benefics-Venus and Mercury. It is occupied by Moon and Jupiter. All are in friendly signs. Mahatma Gandhi was a lawyer (influence of Jupiter, Venus, and Mercury over the lOth house). He was a great leader. (MoonJupiter influence). Now we will describe a rough method for judging the profession without drawing this diagram. Firstly, write down lagna, lord of lagrra, Chandra lagna, lord of Chandra lagna, Surya lagna, lord of Surya lagna, and against these enter the names of the d i fferent planets in fl uencing these by oeupation, conjunction, and aspects. The profession is determined by the planets having the maximum influence. Or sometimes, the profession will be one indicated by the group of planets influencing these lagnas to the maximum extent.

As we have mentioned earlier, in the opinion of the great 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.-xampleof this is the horoscopeof 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.

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 benefic planet 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 respectively Ruchaka, Bhadra, Hamsa, Malavya and Sasa Mahayogas. They are caused respectively by Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn when these planets happen to occupy Kendra houses, 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 by Varaha 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 Pancha mahapurusha yogas seldom fails. Mantreswara says that these five yogas can be considered from Moon's position also:

The lords of these houses may be connected with each other by exchange of houses, mutual aspects etc., but should not be combined or aspected by other planets. A person born in this yoga will be a king or an emperor of nuch wealth and rneans of happiness.

If the lord of the lfth houseis placed in the lst house in cpmbination with the lord of the ascendant and has a benefic yoga"the natirrc will have muctr name and fane. He will wield much power, and influenoe. He may becomea minister or a great official or even a minister.

If the lord of the tenth house is a malefic, the native may wander a long distance. f,Ihe reasonsare theee. lfth house is bad.

Soin the pr€viouspages,wehave givenenoughmaterial to study the 10th house.Firetly the indications of the housesand the planets have to be clearly master€d.Then one ehould know the indications of the various signs. Also we hane girrcn the professions 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 is solely determined by the tenth housealone. It is here that the difliculty arises. lOth house has se\€ral indications. It indi' cates performanc€sof religious rites also. The 10th house tus to be consideredfrom the lagna and the Chandra lagna. For in many cases, the Chandra lagna may be mor\e powerful in exerting its influence. Apart from this, we gave the rules for detemining the aptitudee. The horoecopehas to be judged as a whole. Then we should not ignore the influences of Chandra lagna, Janma lagna and Surya lagna in guessing the profession. For, the lagnqs glrc a gooddeal of information about the person. His aptitudes, nature, and profeseionare some times indicated by the influence of planets on the lagnas. For this, Sudarshana Paddhati may be adopted. Lastly, the yogas present in the horoscopeare to be carefully noted. For, it is theseyogas which rais€ a man to a high status in life. Infomation regardingimportant yogashasbeen given. With the aid of these principles, we may now study some illustrative horoscop€s and e€e how the profesions are indicated in theee. Readersmay collect more and morehoroecpesandstudy them. It will be a rewarding experlenceand surely they will notice the role played by planets in regard to the choiceof profession. Also, as we said earlier, the Navamshachart, and Bhava chart shoud be prepared and then only the horwcope can be studied properly. The distinction between Rasi and Bhava has to be borne in mind. Also the Naramsha Chakra ie of great importane. A planet may appear rrery weak in the r.asi but may be strong in the Navamsha chart. Then we cannot think that the planet is weak. Similarly, readers would have notied that Mihira, Satya, Farasara etc., attach great importance to Navamsha. In fact, they want us to d€cidethe profession by a eonsideration of the lord of the Navamehain which the lord of

This branch of Astrolory is anancient one and is contained in many works like Nadis, satya samhita etc. Here we cronsiderthe nature of the planet owning the star in which the lord of the 10th Bhava is situated' Definition of Jeeva:The lord of the star in which the lord of the tenth house is situated is called the Jeeva of the 10th house. The Jeeva of the 10th house has influence oner one's profeeeion. Eranple l. This Per€on is employed in an oil com' pany. lord of l0th house is Saturn.

Parasarab principles arc totally true here. The subperiod of Jupiter (Bharyadhipati) in the major period of Yogakaraka has to be good.But as the nodeRahu is aspected by Jupiter, in Mars-Rahu period,his elevationto the high post is in agreementwith Astrological principles' He was very rich.

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 is connection between lords of 2nd and 10th houses. As Mars denotes leadership and Sun is for C'overnment, she headed the Government of a great country. There is Clear Ingna.dhi yogo. Also Sun which is strongly connected with Mars is related to Jupiter by aspect.Thus lords of 2,9,6, and 10 are connected together. Not only this, Venus and Jupiter are closely related because they have exchanged signs. Venus is the lord of 4 and 11. Thus the tenth house lord is oonnected with lords of 2, 9, 10 and 11.

It represents Government. Thus Mars gets inmense power. Thus there is close relation between the lords of 5, 10 and 2nd houses. 6th house represents ministership. Since the 10th house is 8o powerfully connected with the 5th house, ministership was bestowed. Readere will further note that Mars is the Yogakaraka 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 weak in the sign of Taurus. Here it is not so. Jupiter has exchanged signs with Venus. Venus is Labhadhipati Jupiter is Bhagradhipati. Thus Bhagadhipati and Labhadhipati are very strongly related. And such a Bhagiadhipati Jupiter is aspecting the Sun. Jupiter is by nature a benefic.

Out of these, Mercury is the Bhagadhipati. It is joined with the lord of the lagna producing very powerful Raiayoga.

Thus lords of fth and 10th houses aspect each other thereby producing another powerful yogo. firis is responsible Rojayoga called Dharmakamndhi for his virtuous nature. Also the aspect between lords of 4th 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 and Mihira's Karakakhya yoga is pr€sent. Powerful Vesi yoga is present as the second house from the Sun is occupied by two very auspicious planets-Mercury and Venus' (See how the rules of Varaha Mihira are proving true here).
