Career in Jyotish is read primarily from the 10th house, the house of Karma — action in the world, public standing, and profession. The sign on the 10th cusp, the planets placed there, and the position of the 10th lord together sketch the kind of work that suits you and the reputation you are likely to build. A strong 10th lord in a Kendra or Trikona is one of the classic marks of professional success.
Each planet points to a field. The Sun indicates government, leadership, or medicine; the Moon, public-facing roles, hospitality, and nurturing work; Mars, engineering, defence, surgery, or sports; Mercury, commerce, writing, and analysis; Jupiter, teaching, law, finance, and counselling; Venus, arts, luxury, and entertainment; Saturn, labour, structure, and long-term institutions.
Supporting houses refine the picture: the 2nd for income, the 6th for service and competition, the 11th for gains and networks. Timing again belongs to the Dashas. A period of the 10th lord, or of a planet in the 10th house, is the natural season for promotions and new directions.
