The Tenth House represents mid-heaven and plays an important role in the chart, second in importance only to the ascendant. This house is known as 'Karma Bhava' (house of action). The main signification of this house is status, Profession and Career. This is most power full angular and also Upachaya house.
In actual practice the longitudes of only two Houses, the ascendant and the 10th House can be accurately calculated. The cusps/mid-points of the other houses are derived from these two points. All the savants of astrology are well aware of the various theories and controversies with regard to the determination of the cusps/mid-points of all other houses derived from these two co-ordinates. This in itself shows the importance of the Ascendant and the 10th house. House division is not the subject matter of this article; I propose to deal with this aspect in detail in separate article at some other occasion.
The tenth house deals with prosperity and growth (significator - Jupiter), Karma (action) including all works and actions (significator - Saturn), profession and career (significator - Mercury) and status and fame (significator - Sun).
All planets in the 10th house give good results, because it is one of the Upachaya house besides being the most powerful Kendra. Even Rahu in the 10th house gives pilgrimage, or political status and the native gets an opportunity to serve others. This also happens when Rahu is in the 10th house from the Narayan (Padakrama) Dasa sign (See Jaimini Sutra 2.4.7, 2.4.8, 2.4.9 and 2.4.10). The Sun and Mars, who get directional strength in the 10th house, can be a great blessing by providing dynamism and success. The Sun indicates pride, respect, position, status, responsibility, independent views and help from political and senior officers. The Moon shows fluctuations of fortune and success in public dealings, emotional views and a changeable work situation. Saturn indicates rapid rise and fall and hard work. If Rahu or Saturn is placed in Cancer in the ascendant or in the 10th house ; or if Jupiter is placed in Pisces in a similar situation, Chhatra-Yoga is formed. Indira Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi and Atal Bihari Vajpayee are all natives with this Yoga in their charts. Ketu in the 10th indicates a routine job.
In case the ascendant and 10th house are weak and also have low Ashtakavarga strength, the whole chart gets considerably weakened.
