Argala on 10th house
The tenth house has Argala on the 6th, 7th, 9th and 12th houses
thereby directly affecting enemies, servants, fortune and sleep that
are ruled by these houses and other matters as well. For example,
Chanakya says that a king can never fall if his servants are
faithful. If the servants are faithful, the sixth house is favorable
and the enemies also ruled by the sixth house cannot win. This
automatically affects the status ruled by the tenth house.
Similarly, success automatically brings more business and
associates, besides keeping the spouse happy. Ones boss, guru, or
lady luck ruled by the ninth house does matter in ones career. The
12th house rules final emancipation and meditation. Bad actions in
the tenth house will reflect adversely on the 12th house and Moksha
will be denied in the long term while sleep could be adversely
hampered in the short term. A fine solution to this negative cycle
would be to take up transcendental meditation (TM). The 11th, 1st,
2nd, & 8th houses have Argala on the 10th house or are capable of
affecting the actions and other matters ruled by the tenth house.
Thus gains, self, and net profit or loss will influence decisions
and actions. If an exalted or strong natural benefic is in the
ascendant, the native will be guided by its ideals and this will
have a strong impact on his decisions and action. In this manner,
the Argala 's and their obstruction should be understood.
The fifth house is the eighth from the tenth house representing birth (beginning) and longevity (time of implementation) of an action (10th house). Thus, the fifth house rules authority and power that one enjoys due to skills & knowledge as well as ones Purva punya. The timing of joining a new job is done from the fifth house. Rajyoga also need to be confirmed in the Panchamamsa (D-5 Chart) and the Dasamsa (D-10 chart). The eleventh house from ascendant is the ‘Hara’ or end of life. Similarly, the eighth house being the eleventh from the tenth house is the place of retirement or end of career. The eighth house, if beneficially disposed, can give huge loans to take large enterprises and its argala on the seventh house and 10th house can give a new boost to ones business. If ill disposed, ones business will run into endless debt and ruin.
Points to note
The following maybe borne in mind while analyzing the Dasamsa: -
1. The Dasamsa should be analyzed in detail independently like the
Rasi chart. The Artha Trikona is composed of the second 6th & 10th
houses. Planets in these houses will have a direct bearing on the
functioning of the native. Any planet in the tenth house is
independently capable of giving good yoga that could mean power,
rise and success in ones career. In addition, the seventh house
should also be studied, as it is the Pada to the tenth. If the Sun
dominates in these houses, a political career or similar public
service is indicated. If the Moon dominates, Government Service or
such other professions like hotel business etc are indicated. Mars
gives Police; Intelligence related activities, Army etc. Jupiter
produces lawyers, Judges, Priests, Astrologers, etc. Mercury gives
business, writing & publishing, trade etc. Venus gives entertainment
and all works of beauty while Saturn gives heavy burden, menial jobs
etc. Rahu can indicate imports while Ketu shows exports etc. A list
is provided at table 13.1.& 13.2
2. The sixth house rules business and the seventh house rules
business. If there are more planets in the sixth house, or if it is
otherwise stronger, service is indicated. A stronger seventh house
gives an independent business. Similarly, the sixth lord promotes
service while the seventh lord promotes business. This could mean
instability in service during the period of the seventh lord.
Similarly, debilitated malefic in the seventh house will encourage
service as they will damage the business.
3. The boss is seen from the ninth house while the subordinates are
seen from the fifth house. During the period of a malefic planet
having papargala (malefic obstruction) on the ninth house, one is
tormented by the boss (or ex-boss) while a benefic having Subhargala
(benefic intervention) shall give a very good and helpful boss. Thus
in Charts showing any kind of employment, the concerned houses for
the self are the first, 6th & 10th. The third house from these (3rd,
8th & 12th) can cause problems. The eighth house will show
retirement; the third house shows short leave while the 12th house
shows long leave.
4. The ascendant lord in the ninth house makes a person very
independent (he likes to be his own boss) and business is best
advised in such charts or employment where a lot of scope for
independent work. The second house is the eighth from the seventh
house and shall play a crucial role in starting any business. In
simpler words, the starting of any business is determined by the
finance available. The quadrants to the 2nd house are the 5th, 8th &
11th houses showing the money that is put in by the partner, loans
from banks etc. & self respectively.
5. The rules for judging the sex and nature of the people involved
is the same as that for co-born and children.

Planets in the tenth house
Planets in the tenth house generally always give good results .
The Sun and Mars that get directional strength in the tenth house
can be a great blessing in any chart providing dynamism and success.
The sun indicates pride, respect, position, status, responsibility,
independent views, and help from politicians and senior officers.
The Moon shows fluctuation of fortunes and success in public
dealings, water or liquids, emotional views and changeability of
work etc. Saturn indicates rapid rise and fall, hard work. Ketu
indicates routine job. In this manner, the standard texts provide
considerable information on the results of the planets in the tenth
house based on the nature of the planet.
The second basis is to see the relationship of the planet on the
houses it has argala on. If the Sun or Jupiter is in the tenth
house, the argala on the ninth house is very favorable and will
promote father, guru and good fortune. This will simultaneously,
destroy the evil effects of malefic planets in the ninth house. If
Rahu or Saturn is in the tenth house, it will have papargala on the
ninth house and the father/guru will have to suffer. Saturn will
cause many downturns in fortune and life will be a battle of sorts.
However, Saturn will have subhargala on the 12th house of which it
is a significator and the native could learn spiritual practices
like Pranayama that will be very beneficial. Ketu in the 10th house
will also have papargala on the ninth house but it will have a
subhargala on the 12th house of final emancipation (ketu is
mokshkarak). This will lead the native into the spiritual path and
teach meditation etc. Malefics in the tenth have papargala on the
sixth house and can destroy their significations of the sixth house.
For example, if Ketu is in the tenth house it could be very malefic
for dogs and such pets while Saturn can create many enemies. Mercury
or Venus in the tenth house can be a blessing for business. However,
Ketu or Mercury in the tenth will make the native very fickle
minded.
The third basis is to consider the houses having argala on the
planet in the tenth house. The ascendant has sukhargala
(intervention for creating happiness) on the tenth house. If the
planet in the ascendant is friendly to the planet in the tenth
house, then the native has job satisfaction, and if inimical, there
will be a lot of dissatisfaction. Thus the argala of the ascendant
on the tenth house can promote or damage the prospects of the tenth
house because of personal desires and whims. The eleventh house has
dhanargala (wealth intervention) on the tenth house. Thus,
incentives like bonus can make a dent on the performance. For
example, if Rahu is in the eleventh house the results of ones
actions will come suddenly while Saturn will delay the fruits.
Retrograde planets can even deny the fruits of the actions until
they become direct in transit. The eighth house has labhargala on
the tenth house. Thus, it determines the end of a work or career.
The eleventh house from any bhava has the responsibility of
finishing it. This has been aptly stated by Maharishi Jaimini in the
stanza Tanou tana danda hara meaning the sixth is the house of
punishment and the sixth from the sixth (11th house) is the
destroyer (Hara). There are neither real enemies nor any real
diseases in this illusionary world. These are only means for the
Lord to punish us for our sins. People born on Shasta tithi (the
sixth day of the waxing/waning) lunar cycle or during the period of
planets in the sixth house from ascendant or the dasa sign, can
suffer many problems due to enemies. Fasting on Shasta and
worshipping Lord Shiva /Kartikeya is the best means to take the
punishment on oneself. This will end the enmity. Similarly, people
born on ekadasi (11th day of lunar cycle) or during the period of
planets in the eleventh house from ascendant or the planetary dasa
sign, can suffer due to shad ripu (six forms of weaknesses like
non-vegetarian food, alcohol, sex, etc). They should fast on ekadasi
days and worship Sri Maha Vishnu to overcome these weaknesses. The
fourth point is to consider the placement of the planet from the
various houses. For example, Saturn in the tenth will be in the
eighth from the third house and will give a long lived younger
co-born. It will also aspect the seventh house to promise a long
life to spouse. There is a saying Brahma (Saturn) gives life, Vishnu
(Mercury) gives wealth and all means of sustenance, and Shiva
(Jupiter) gives marriage, children, Guru and all blessings. Thus if
Saturn aspects any house, it gives long life to that house but if it
conjoins a house, its longevity is curtailed. Saturn conjoining the
lords of the first, 10th & 8th houses can reduce longevity. The Sun
or Jupiter in the tenth house will be in the eighth from the third
and can destroy the dharma & fortune of the younger brother because
they are very inimical to the sixth house from their placement (Sarvartha
Chintamani). It was for this very reason that the horoscope of Srila
Prabhupada (Chart 99) had to be rectified.
The Tenth Lord
The placement of the tenth lord will tend to carry the effects of
the significators (Mercury, Saturn, Sun & Jupiter). Thus if the
tenth lord is in the ascendant, due to the effects of Mercury the
native will be fickle minded; due to the effects of Saturn the
native will have ill-health in childhood (till ten years: Maharishi
Parasara); due to the effects of the Sun the native will prefer to
pursue an independent profession and due to the effects of Jupiter
the native will have fame, Status and honor. The good results of
Simhasan Yoga (10th lord in 1st/2nd house) will come after middle
age as planets in the 1st, 7th & 9th houses give their results in
later life.
The second basis is that the tenth lord shows the direction of karma
and source of fortunes. If the tenth lord is in the second house or
associates with the second lord, family business will be source of
livelihood. If the tenth lord is afflicted, then the family business
will be disrupted and cause the misfortune of the native. The
strength of Jupiter the significator of Family deity is a crucial
factor. Since the second house rules food, the tenth lord will also
indicate business/ profession related to the hotel industry if the
significator Moon also influences the tenth lord. If the tenth lord
is in the third house or associates with the third lord, the job may
involve constant travelling and short journeys especially if Venus
associates with the tenth lord or is in its trines. The co-born
(ruled by the third house) will further the career of the native.
The third basis is to count the number of signs from the tenth house
to the tenth lord and vice-versa. If the tenth lord is in the third
house it will be in the sixth from the tenth house and the latter
will be in the eighth from it. This implies short-term (eighth
house) service (6th house) or contracts (3rd house) that can be
executed over a short period (8th house). If the tenth lord is in
the fifth house, it will be in the eighth sign from the tenth house
that will show research, occult studies and gambling or speculation.
From the tenth lord, the tenth house would be the sixth sign (upachaya)
showing growth and achievement. It will also show service for the
orphans, handicapped and old/sick people (8th house effect). It
should be borne in mind that natural benefics like Jupiter and Moon
if placed in the eighth from their sign, could cause damage to the
same while their involvement in parivartan and other yogas will
modify the negative results. The fourth basis is to consider the
placement of the tenth lord or tenth house from the Paka & Arudha
Lagna. Paka Lagna is the sign occupied by the lord of the ascendant.
If the tenth house or tenth lord is in the Badhak or dusthana from
the Paka & Arudha lagna, the results are obstruction and destruction
respectively.
Some more insight
Natural strength of houses has been mentioned in books like Laghu
Parasari etc. The quadrants, in the rising order of 1st, 4th, 7th &
10th are stronger than the Upachayas in the order 3rd, 6th & 11th
(10th has been excluded as it is considered the strongest quadrant).
The Upachayas are stronger than the trine fifth & ninth houses (the
ascendant is excluded in this as it is placed among the quadrants).
The 2nd & 12th houses have no strength of their own and depend on
the other house lordship of their owner. The eighth house is always
evil and is never stronger than the ascendant. Thus on the basis of
lordship the planets can be placed in the following ascending order
of natural strength (influence) in the chart: - 2nd, 12th, 5th, 9th,
3rd, 6th, 11th, 8th, 1st, 4th, 7th & 10th house lord. It is evident
that the tenth lord is the most influential planet in the chart as
the tenth house is the most potent house for any planet to be
placed. This fact should be borne in mind while analyzing Rajyoga
and Duryoga i.e. combinations for prosperity and penury.
Kendradhipati dosha or the negative effect of the ownership
of quadrants by benefics implies reduction in their beneficence. The
benefic owner of a quadrant is still a benefic and does not become a
malefic. Similarly, a Malefic planet owning a quadrant will not
remain a malefic and that does not imply that the malefic becomes a
benefic. This loss of beneficence of a benefic lord of quadrant is
called Kendradhipati dosha. This flaw is annulled if the planet is
also well placed in a quadrant or trine. Similarly, a malefic planet
owning a quadrant sheds its maleficence and will give very good
results if placed in an evil house. If instead, the planet is placed
in a quadrant or trine, the loss of maleficence may not occur fully.
For example if Saturn is the lord of the 10th house for Taurus
ascendant, its placement in the 12th house in debility will give
excellent results like power, position and a good career. If the
malefic is also the lord of a trine in addition to its ownership of
a quadrant, then it becomes a yogakaraka producing auspicious
results.
'Kendra-adipati' dosha of benefics
Now the word 'Kendra-adipati' clearly means 'lordship of quadrant
house' which are defined as 10th, 7th, 4th and 1st in that order of
strengths. The four kendra are the four doors of the horoscope
through whch good and bad comes into the natives life. The lords of
the Kendra are responsible to guard the doors and allow people to
enter and exit. This is easily understood from the 'bhupura' of any
chakra where the four doors are in the kendra/quadrants.
Now if you want to have a guard for the door, what would be the
attributes that you will select? A good Pandit who is well versed in
the vedas (Jup) or a black belt in Karate (Mars)? Naturally the
Pandit will make a mess of things if he is asked to guard the door.
He will fail to be strict due to his innate goodness and all sorts
of riff-raff will enter into that area of his life thereby
exploiting and damaging his life. A malefic planet will be harsh
(Mars) strict (Saturn) or suspicious (Rahu) or very fiery (Sun) and
will guard the door of his life with superb ability. That is the
meaning of Kendradhipati dosha.
Now what happens if the benefic gets fighting powers and a brahmin
who is supposed to read books and Vedas decides to make weapons
(take the case of Dronacharya or Albert Einstein or all those
scientists who are involved in arms manufacture)...believe me, they
will end up making the most destructive weapons in the world. A
brahmin must always use his brains for spiritual path and peace. So
when the benefic who is the lord of a Kendra also occupies a Kendra
which happens to be its own sign or exaltation, then it becomes a 'Maha'
Graha and has fighting powers, which when invoked can be very harsh.
What happens in real life is that at first the benefic allows all
kinds of riff-raff to enter that aspects of his life and this is
sure to happen if the lord of the Kendra is placed in a dusthana,
especially the 6th house. This is the real meaning of Kendradhipati
dosha. If the benefic is instead strong like being vargottama or in
its own sign/exaltation in kendra forming a Maha yoga then the
native will fight back and depending on stregth of the benefic will
succeed or lose. In such a case it is crucial to make the benefic
strong with gemstones and worship of the adhi devata or pratyadhi
devata etc as per standard methods taught.
The area of life is seen from below -
Lagna - dharma or duties [and reputation in real life, ]
4th house - moksha or [home in real life including personal friends
who come home, personal servants at home, etc]
7th house - spouse, people who interact with you for matters of
pleasure and entertainment...another group of friends
10th house - all people associated with your work and finances
Yogakaraka
Yogakaraka means capability for producing auspicious results. The
lord of the ascendant is the natural yogakarak in any chart as it
the first house is a quadrant and a trine. The lords of trines (5th
& 9th houses) are important for wealth and sustenance while the
lords of the 4th, 7th & 10th contribute to the happiness. The 1st,
10th, 7th & 4th houses/ lords represent the four ayana’s (goals of
life) called Dharma, Artha, Kama, Moksha (Readers may refer to the
Srimad Bhagavat Gita for a detailed explanation of these goals).
Yoga has been loosely interpreted as Union/association and in
astrology this implies conjunction, mutual aspect or exchange of
signs. A weaker yoga is caused by one planet aspecting the house of
the other and vice-versa or by an exchange of constellation called
sookshma yoga. The association of the lord of a quadrant with the
lord of a trine results in Rajyoga producing auspicious results.
Thus if the tenth lord associates with the ninth lord, Dharma-Karmadhipati
yoga results. This is the highest Karma Yoga. Another form of this
yoga is the association of the lord of the tenth house with the lord
of the fifth house. Gyana Yoga (that leads to moksh) is caused by
the association of the lord of the fourth house with the lord of a
trine. This yoga gives great learning and knowledge. Subha yoga or
good results are produced by the placement of the lord of a quadrant
in a trine. Dur yoga or inauspicious results are produced by the
placement of the lord of a quadrant in a dusthana (evil house).
However, the duryoga is modified if it associates with the lord of a
trine. Rajabhanga yoga is caused by the association of the lord of a
quadrant with the lord of a dusthana in an evil house. If instead,
they associate in a quadrant, Vipareeta Rajyoga occurs. Vipareeta
Rajyoga is also caused by the association of the lords of two
dusthana in an evil house. For example, if Taurus ascendant has
Jupiter and Venus in the sixth house, they are the lords of the 8th
and 6th houses (dusthana) associating in an evil house (6th house)
resulting in destruction of enemies and good prosperity. If Virgo
ascendant has Mars (3rd & 8th lord), Mercury (1st & 10th lord) and
the Sun (12th lord) in the tenth house in Gemini, Vipareeta Rajyoga
results during the period of Mars & the Sun only. Mahapurush yoga is
caused by the placement of a planet in its own sign or in exaltation
in a quadrant. The strength of the luminaries is very vital for
initiating the Rajyoga and sustaining the same.
Mahapurusa yoga
what happens to a human being after he endures suffering? In what
direction does the Mahapurusa go? Can we ignore lagna? Look at this
statement -
Lakshmi brings Love to the native
Griha Lakshmi gives him all the comforts and security
Dhana Lakshmi gives him the wealth of values that he cherishes
Kanakdhara gives him a stable business or carrer so that the flow of
wealth and energy is sustainable
Mahalakshmi gives him victory in war
Vijaya lakshmi gives him victory in debates and legal battles...
Did you notice how the prefix Maha causes a warrior like image. That
is what I was always advising that people should think of the panca
mahapurusha as the five pandava brothers. See the definition for
Kaladruma yoga and here also we find the condition of victory in
wars and battles and this is associated with Lagna. To think of the
Mahapurusa as the five heads of Lord Shiva is correct in a spiritual
context but it fails to appreciate the condition that Shiva told
Draupadi - no human being can be born with all the five heads or
abilities in its complete form. That is why Draupadi had to have
five husbands to fulfill the five mahapurusha
requirements/abilities.
Kalyana Verma emphasizes the importance of planets in the tenth from
the Moon sign and Hora Lagna. The mind is the controller of all
actions and activity. The planets in the tenth house from the Moon
sign or the lord of the tenth house from the Moon sign will give
considerable information about the Career and fortunes of the
native. Similarly, the tenth house from Hora Lagna should also be
seen after studying the tenth from the ascendant. Table 13.3 gives
the details. For example, if Mars strongly influences the tenth
house from the Moon by placement or lordship, the native may travel
to a distant land for his livelihood.

tenth from the Moon (extracts from Saravali)
