Chapter 12 · The 10th House, Work and Standing
दशमविवेकः
लग्नेशे शुभवर्गे वा गोपुरादौ राजवन्द्यः ।
Say the lord of the lagna (rising sign) is in the varga (division of a sign) of good planets. Or say it is in gopura amsha (a good rank of strength) or the ranks like it. Then kings will bow to the person.
खेशेऽबले सपापे कर्मादिवैकल्यम् ।
Say the 10th lord is weak and is with bad planets. Then work and other matters will go wrong.
ज्ञेज्यशुक्रा दुःस्थाः पापदृष्टाः कर्मादिवैकल्यम् ।
Say Mercury, Jupiter and Venus are in bad houses and bad planets look at them. Then work and other matters will go wrong.
खे पापदृष्ट्याधिक्ये कर्मादिवैकल्यम् ।
Say bad planets mostly look at the 10th house. Then work and other matters will go wrong.
