THE TENTH HOUSE: KARMA, THE HOUSE OF CAREER

•Karaka: Mercury as business; Sun as fame and government; Jupiter as profession

•Corresponding Zodiac Sign: Capricorn

The tenth house is considered to have the most influence in the birth chart out of all twelve houses. It is the 30-degree section of the sky that is directly overhead at the time of our birth, the zenith in the sky. The Sun and Mars are both strong (dig bala) in the tenth, and they can support an individual in fulfilling their karma, which this house is named for. The tenth house is most often associated with career, but another way to express this could be what we are known for in this lifetime, since not everyone is working at all times in their life. The most visible aspects of our career, such as reputation and fame, social status, and awards and achievements, are all tenth-house matters. Government and power can also be judged from this house. The knees are associated with the tenth house and connect to the natural tenth sign, Capricorn. Some astrologers also will use Saturn as a karaka for career.

THE ELEVENTH HOUSE: LABHA BHAVA, THE HOUSE OF GAINS

•Karaka: Jupiter as gains

•Corresponding Zodiac Sign: Aquarius

The eleventh house represents the money and resources earned from our career. It also shows the people that we meet through our work, casual acquaintances, and groups we may be associated with. It is this house that connects to our desires and to what we wish for in life. As with the second house, Jupiter is the karaka for wealth and gain in the eleventh house. Our older brothers and sisters, along with the spouse of an individual’s children, are eleventh-house matters since this is the seventh house (of relationships) from the fifth house (of children). Calves, shins, and ankles are analyzed from the eleventh house and correspond to the natural eleventh zodiac sign, Aquarius.

THE TWELFTH HOUSE: VYAYA, THE HOUSE OF ENDINGS AND DETACHMENTS

•Karaka: Saturn as loss

•Corresponding Zodiac Sign: Pisces

The final house of the horoscope represents antya adhi, or the end of everything. This house relates to the end of the day (sleep), the end of life and our final breath, and our feet, which are at the end of our body. Prisons, hospitals, and ashrams—which could be the end of freedom—and foreign lands are all twelfth-house matters. It is a house that signifies loss, which includes philanthropic activities that are planned and other deliberate losses. As the house that represents sleep and beds, this includes sexual activity. As a dusthana, or place of pain, it can represent misfortune, sorrow, and suffering. (We will learn about these special house designations next.) The twelfth house is a house of hidden things, such as the subconscious mind, yoga, and meditation. Health of the feet are analyzed from this house.

HOUSE TYPES

As we learned in the first part of this chapter, each house has specific meanings, but there are additional designations assigned to the Jyotish bhavas that are also very significant.

Jyotish has assigned the following
