Government Service in the Chart
A government job combination links the tenth house of career with the sixth house of service and conflict, and the sixth is not the first house of the self. The Sun stands for the state. The link is a chance, not a posting.
Service is a house link
The tenth house is career. The sixth is conflict and debt, and also the classical place of service under a superior. When the tenth lord and the sixth lord connect, or the Sun joins the tenth, matchers look for government and large institutions. Saturn adds the file, the exam, the long wait. Mars adds uniformed branches, already a narrower yoga. Mercury adds clerks and accounts, touching the second house of wealth and speech. A combination is this cluster. One aspect is not a result.
The self is not the post
The first house is the self. A strong lagna can pass an exam the tenth house only half supports, and a weak lagna can fail a perfect yoga. The eleventh is gains, the actual salary. A service yoga with a starved eleventh is a title that does not feed. The ninth is dharma and sometimes the luck of a selection. None of this guarantees a job. Age, law, and the exam sit outside the chart. Do not treat a combination as a promise to a parent.
The Sun's six years
Sun mahadasha lasts 6 years. Saturn's lasts 19. A tenth-lord period may be either, or something else. Those are the seasons when a service combination is tested. Outside them the yoga is natal and quiet. Lahiri lords fix the link. A wrong time moves the tenth and invents a government career the chart does not have. Cast the time before you plan a life around the combination.
Frequently asked questions
Which houses suggest government work?
The tenth of career with the sixth of service and conflict, often with the Sun and Saturn. Mars narrows it toward uniformed roles.

No. The first house of the self and the eleventh of gains still matter, and the exam is not inside the chart.
When is it tested?
In the Sun's 6 years, Saturn's 19, or the tenth lord's period, whichever the chart is actually running.
