What is 10^th House?

10^th house is the highest expansion of the Ascendant in form of physical existence.
10^th house is the destiny (9^th house) of the ‘Self-Survival’ (2^nd house)
For the Ascendant the 2^nd house is a neutral as per Laghu Parasari but from the 10^th house it (2^nd) is the ‘Cause of Destiny’ (5^th house is cause of destiny). This paradox must first be understood when we try to explain anything related to the 10^th
The Karma is pre-decided because related to the 10^th house elements expands in to 2 parts (2^nd and 6^th house) who are in the Invisible Part of the Horoscope (15 deg of Asc to the 15^th deg of 7^th house is Invisible Part of the Horoscope)
One Unit: The Artha Trikona Rasis i.e. 2^nd, 6^th & 10^th houses each of them would belong to either Fiery, Earthy, Airy or Watery and each of them would either be Moveable, Fixed or Dual Rasis – all of them combined will form A Symbology Of Unit & Nature. This Unit is associated ultimately with the Ascendant, which means if your Asc is Moveable your 10^th house will always be moveable, if your Asc is fixed sign then your 10^th house will also be fixed sign and if your Asc is a Dual sign then your 10^th house will also be of a Dual sign.
Our life is divided into 4 forms akin to the 4 kendras – a) Self b) Warmth c) Associations d) Identity – all of them are inter linked in a
form of sharing same nature Rasis (moveable or fixed or dual)
Any Kendras do not independently exist of each other because some hidden forms of elements present in each kendras.
The elements are associated with Dasas (Vimshottari)

Significators of 10^th House – Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn & Sun – Why ?

Jupiter – both its Rasis are Kendra to each other so Jupiter works like a Kendra lord prominently.
Mercury – both its Rasis are Kendra to each other so Mercury works like a Kendra lord prominently.
Because of this reason Mer & Jupiter are karakas of the 10^th In Kalapurusha Kundali (Natural Zodiac), Jupiter is lord of the 9^th house which is 12^th to 10^th House and it’s another Rasi that is Pisces is the 12^th to the Asc, this common factor of being 12^th is to be noted.
From 9^th house of Sagittarius belonging to Jupiter in Kala Purusha Kundali (natural zodiac horoscope), who is the Bhagya (fortune) of this house, it is Leo whose lord is Sun hence he is one of the karakas of the 10^th
From 10^th house in Kalapurusha kundali the 10^th sign is Capricorn, whose lord is Saturn. Because this sign of Capricorn of 10H is 12^th from Aquarius, this Capricorn will get neutralized (Shloka 8 of Laghu Parasari) related to 11^th house beneficence and will give dispositor value of itself. Which means Saturn acts as More of a Karaka results for 10^th house than as Lordship. E.g. if Saturn in 10H for any lagna, it will create hardship in 10H matters, hardship being karakatwa (significator) of shani (Saturn) and it will not give lordship results.

Humans Are Of 2 types

One is dedicated to work and another dedicated to happiness, when Asc lord is friend of the 10^th house then Asc lord cannot be friend of 4^th house, in this situation person is more Karma Oriented. When Asc lord is friend of the 4^th house then it cannot be friend of 10^th house, these people are more Self Centered. E.g. Cancer Asc, the Asc lord Moon is friend of 10^th Mars, Asc lord Moon is not friend of 4^th lord Venus. Cancer Asc love their work (due to friendship with 10L) and that is his personal happiness. For Leo Asc, the Asc lord sun and 10^th lord Venus are not friends, but Asc lord Sun is friends with 4^th lord Mars, hence for Leo Asc the personal happiness is the real happiness (4H) and not the work. See for Leo and Cancer, the common factor is they share same yogakaraka Mars.
