A Service Yoga Joins the 10th Lord with the 6th Lord
Employment is not the 10th alone. The 6th is service. Their contact, during the right dasha, is the yoga for a post.
The post and the employer
A service yoga needs the 10th lord and the 6th lord in contact, because the 10th is the post and the 6th is employment under someone else. Contact means conjunction, mutual aspect, or exchange. The Sun adds authority: a government or visible chair often involves the Sun with the 10th. Saturn adds the employee who stays. If only the 10th lord is strong and the 6th lord is in the 12th with no contact, the person may have a profession and still struggle to hold a salaried seat. If the 7th lord is the one joining the 10th, look at trade and clients rather than a boss. The yoga for a job is specifically the service house plus the karma house.
Strength is the sign of those lords
A 10th lord exalted in the 10th is the cleanest public seat. A 6th lord exalted does not always feel pleasant, because the 6th is conflict and debt, but it can win competitions and keep the job. Mercury helps skilled and clerical work. Jupiter helps advisory work if it is not only a functional malefic for that lagna. Do not collect five yogas and call them a package. One sound link between the 6th and 10th lords, in dasha, beats a list of names. D10, the dashamsha, is the divisional chart later readers use for career. It checks the birth chart. It does not replace the 10th lord.
The job arrives in a dasha, not at a ritual
The antardasha of the 10th lord or the 6th lord is the timer. A strong yoga silent during Rahu's sub-period can look like failure. It is waiting. Remedies that promise a post by next month ignore the sequence fixed from the Moon's nakshatra. If Saturn rules the 10th, the post comes slowly and sticks, especially in Saturn's 19 years. If Mars rules the 10th, the post can come faster and with more conflict, in a 7-year Mars dasha or a Mars antardasha. Prepare the skill the 10th lord describes. The yoga is the link. The dasha is the door. There is no third object required.
Frequently asked questions
Is a strong 10th house enough for a job?
It is enough for public work. A salaried post specifically wants the 6th lord involved. Otherwise the 10th may be a profession, a business, or a role without a stable employer.
What does the Sun add?
Authority and visibility. Sun with the 10th lord leans toward a chair others recognize. Saturn with the 10th leans toward long service.
Can the yoga work before its dasha?
The structure exists from birth. The lived appointment is much more reliable when the 10th or 6th lord is actually running.
