Background: The word Profession is not assimple as it appears.

A deeper analysis of thisword Pr ofession indicates that it includespractically every aspect of working life of a nativefrom appearance in an interview process,selection into a career/job, appoi ntment, transfer,promotion, postings, relations with boss,colleagues and subordi nates, receipt of salary,sanction of increments, release of arrears etc.Each of these aspects has important bearing onthe personal life of a native. The role of Astrologyin all these aspects is to know what is destined,what is likely to man ifest, when, how and inwhat manner the manifestation will be, in orderto take a decision to choose the best course of action.Practically in a Rashi chart (D-1) the 10 th house is known to be the house which isprimarily considered for one s Professiona l lifeand the 11 th house is the house for consideration of all types of gains and receipts which an individualis able/capable of to earn in his life. But thematter is very complex since there are personshaving many qualifications and talents, but arenot able to earn enormous amount of money. Onthe other side there are people having limit ededucational background and talent who are able toearn lots of money. There are natives withexcellent educational background and talent whoare earning money on ly out of a few limitedtalents without exploiting their potential to thefullest extent.Therefore, the manner in whichone earns his/her livelihood does NOTnecess arily depend on the talent /qualifications interests one possesses. Determination of one s profession, therefore a process in which almost every aspe ct of one spersonality is reflected through the promises in the chart, yogas, stat us of planets etc are the factorswhich need to be taken into consideration, to d ecide how the native could get his professionalinvolvement in Society. Let us see what our Shastras and great Masters guide us to:Jatak Parijata Shri V adyanath Dikshit, says that from 10th house and from Sun, Mercury, Jupiter andSaturn ascertain person s authority, the r ank, name, fame, knowledge of special arts and learning,means of livelihood, orn aments etc . Uttar Kalamrita Shri Kalidas,says from 10thhouse see honor from government, ridi ng on a horse,fame, sacrifices, magnitudes of moral merits, honors, honorable li ving etc. Jatak Tatwa Pt. Mahadev Pathak: says from 10thhouse one must consider vocation, profession, statusand official position, directions and command ability to compl ete the work etc. Jatak Bhushan Acharya Mukund Devagya,says from 10th house one may see governance, directions,occupation, father, name, fame, dignity , official status, ornaments, living in foreign country, peopleworking under the native, loan, constraints in life etc. Dr B.V.Raman,says that from 10thhouse see dignity, self respect, rank, temporal honors, religiousknowledge occupation, respect and means of livelihood. If we look at the Kalapurusha (time personified)the 10thhouse, relates toknees which enable aperson to stand on its own thereby facilitateone to move out and exhibit his qualities/talents to thesociety.This indicates that 10thhouse enable s the Kalpurusha to move out and merge in the universe become an agent to the Alm ighty a real divine agent in a more practical manner. From above, we learn that from the 10th house we primarily seetemporal honors, rank, socialstatus and means of livelihoo d. But to consider these we have to study and understand the basicmotivating for

ces/factors leading to achievement of these honors/rank/social status with duein volvement in the means of livelihood. These motivating forces revolve around the following. (a)Yagna: Meritorious moral deeds, talents, the knowledge of special arts and sa crifices: (b)Vyapar:Business with social interaction leading to means of livelihood. (c)Gamana:Traveling and moving out. The resultant response of the Society to such involvement by any individual is b y conferringtemporal honor, rank, social status etc which are expressed in diffe rent ways depending on time, statusof the individual and prevalent social and ec onomic practice of the place. The response could be:a)Kingly:Victory/Great royal celebrations accompanied with religious observances i.e. Yagas etc.,or noble men riding on horses i.e. glorify the achievement / st atus. b)Giving command:Appointment in senior or ministerial position. It, therefore, emerges that the 10thhouse can be said to be a house of Social Int eraction and of social happiness i.e. for the manner in which an individual invo lves himself in theenvironment/society . Only due to this involvement process an i ndividual get status/honor/rank andother allied features including involvement i n the Society through means of livelihood. Theextentof social happiness of a nat ive could be measured by the nature and disposition of the 10thhouse. As most of the average personshave very few interests/talents and capabilities, therefore, forsuch individuals, their profession or means of earning livelihood is theirOnly means of getting involvedwith the society. Therefore, for such persons 10th house would be, indeed, is the most important basis forascertaining their profes sional life. But for a person possessing many qualities and interestsin life, his relationsh ip and activities,which relate him to the Society at large and also the response of the society to his actions, could bemany. Often such a person gets bouquets of appreciations and bricks bats i.e. adverse responsesimultaneously. Such exper ience depends on the impulses generated by him in different areas of activities and his relationships with different segments of the society. For example a Bank Employee byprofession may be getting adverse working reports from the customers or from his boss in his officewhile getting reward for his sports/art activity or appreciation by the Society for his meritorious socialwork. It is also a fact that a person may be a great administrator, a financial wizard and deep student of history, lover of art, an art creator or expert table/Sitar player but may not be using all these talents inhimself with his interaction to the society to earn his livelihood. But whatever he does, he does from hisinher ent talent and capabilities. For such type of individuals, though the cause of i nteraction with theSociety leading to the basis of employment/professional engag ement, depends upon the nature andinfluence on the 10thhouse and the extent of h is income i.e. flow of income would be indicated by 11th house.Here comes the ro le of 11 th house and 10th house. There is the fine and beautiful relationshipbe tween the 10th and 11th houses.Eleventh house, therefore, indirectly depicts the manner or the extentto which an individual is able to exploit is capable to tak e the advantage of the interaction or hisrelation with the Society as revealed t hrough the status and strength of 10th house , to earn hislivelihood.

It is not essential that 10th and 11th houses are jointly bad or good. These two houses may showtheir own contradictory disposition. Some may have very afflicte d 10th house where as his 11 thhouse maybe very powerful and vice versa. This is the vital clue why there are persons having negativeinteractions with the socie ty and with the group where they live, yet had a very good level of incomewhile there are persons with lot of merits to their credit due to their role in the so ciety at large, but withtotally indifferent sources of income. Dasamsa (D-10) According to Rishi Prashara one should consider happiness and fortune (Bhagyam) from Turyamshai.e. Chaturthamsa (D-4), for happiness from Spouse consider Navamsh a (D-9) and for consideringimportantevent affecting native s lifeDasamsa chart (D10). Dasamsa chart is amicroscopicview of the 10thhouse of the basic rashi char t (D-1).Therefore this divisional chart is important forconsideration of prestig e, name, fame, power, position, social status, prosperity, source of livelihood, success and failures in life. Purpose wise, we can say that this chart (D-10) should be studied toascertain:a)Inclination and aptitude of the native and level of his success. b)The overall field of activity where the native could have good success/fortune . c)Progress and growth in business or service for the nativeKaraka: Jupiter. d)Karma or actions by an individual:Karaka Saturn. e)Generation of Wealth through occupation/profession/career:Karaka Mercury. f)Position power status authority earned by a native,Karaka: Sun.

If there are benefic plants or hou se 6 th house is strong the native will get a goodjob. 7th house :One s position in the office, one s colleagues and partners. This house r ules business.

Important Considerations From Dasmamsa Chart, as per Eminent Astrologers: 1. It is desired to study the Arthtrikona or finance trine composed of 2nd,6thand 10th houses of a chart,specially keeping in the tatwas of the rashi/lord /planets pla ced in, to ascertain their impact on socialinteraction i.e. profession. 2. If lagna lord is placed in 9th house, one loves to be his own boss and self w ork/own work is bestadvised.

3. Rahu in lagna of D-10 shows fluctuations in fortunes and frequent changes in career. 4.Sun and Saturn association in 6 th house or 10 th house from Moon in D-10 cha rt indicate conflicts withboss/superiors. 5.Planets in quadrants of D-10 give promotion and support/profit during their ma in/sub dasha. 6. Planets in Trines (5th /9th) give favors and fortune through friends/superior s in their main/subperiods. 7.Saturn in 10 th house or with 10 thlord or existence of malefic or debilitated planet in 10th house or with 10th lord leads to unemployment or loss of job. Saturn with Mars or other malefic pla nets in 10th house orwith 10 thlord leads to bad reputation or insult in professional life. Practical Construction of Dasmamsa Chart (d-10) & Its Use: Under Dasmamsa (D-10) each rashi is divided into 10 equal parts of 3 degrees eac h. Counting starts fromthe sign itself in case of Odd signs and in case any pla net is placed in Even sign the counting starts from 9 th sign from the sign occupied by that planet. Each Dasmamsa has a name which is ac cording to the 10 Directions with their deity/Gods which form the basis of such social manifest ation. These are asfollows:Direction: Name East : Indra South-East Agni South Yama South West Rakshasa (Nirriti) West Varun North-West Vayu North Kuber North-East Ishan Aakash Brahma Paatal Annantah Odd Sign 0 - 3 3 - 6 6 - 9 9 - 12 12 - 15 15 - 18 18 - 21 24 21 24 27 27 - 30 Even 27 24 21 18 15 12 09 06 03 00 Sign 30 27 24 21 18 15 12 09 06 03
