A New Job and the 10th Lord's Dasha
The 10th lord's Vimshottari period is the job clock. The 11th house is the income that a new post is supposed to bring, and the 6th is working under someone else's authority.
Profession, service, and pay are three houses
The 10th house is the profession. The 6th is service, competition, and a post where someone else sets the hours. The 11th is the gain, the salary as a result rather than as a title. A person can have a strong 10th lord in the 9th, a clear vocation, and a weak 11th, so the work exists and the pay disappoints. Another can have the 11th lord in the 10th, so money and role arrive together. Read the three lords separately before you call the chart jobless.
The period you are already in
If the mahadasha lord does not own the 10th, the 6th, or the 11th, and does not sit in those houses, a job search can feel stalled for a structural reason. The stall ends when the antardasha changes to a lord that does touch them. Jupiter's transit through the 10th sign is a trigger inside a supportive dasha. It is not a hiring date, and this page will not invent one. Saturn's transit over the 10th more often slows and hardens the role than it cancels the career.
What the chart will not sign
It will not name an employer or a salary. It will say whether the running antardasha belongs to the 10th lord. If it does, the months are for applications, interviews, and moves. The 3rd house and Mercury govern the interview hour itself: courage and speech in a short meeting. The offer, if it comes, is still the 10th and the 11th. Cast the lagna from the birth city. A wrong rising sign moves the 10th lord to the wrong planet, and then the whole timing is about someone else's career.
Frequently asked questions
Which dasha is the one for a new post?
The mahadasha or antardasha of the 10th lord, and often of the 6th or 11th lord when the job is service or pay.
What does the 11th house add?
The gain. A strong 10th with a weak 11th can be a role that does not pay in proportion to the title.
Can Jupiter's transit alone get the job?
It is a trigger inside a dasha that already touches the 10th. Without that dasha, the transit is weather.
