Career Remedies and the 10th Lord

The remedy for a career is to know the 10th lord and to live the mahadasha that belongs to it. For Capricorn lagna that lord is Venus, 20 years, and Venus is yogakaraka. For Cancer it is Mars, 7 years, also yogakaraka. For Leo it is Venus as 10th lord, while Mars is the yogakaraka through other houses. Copying a friend's Saturday Saturn remedy helps a career only if Saturn rules or occupies your 10th, or aspects it. Saturn aspects the 3rd, 7th, and 10th from its seat, so sometimes the aspect is real. Often the friend's Saturn is simply not your 10th lord.

The Sun is the karaka of authority. Sunday discipline suits a Sun that is actually tied to the 10th.

The 10th is karma, the work itself. Skill in the 10th lord's subjects, a clean reputation, and staying through the slow antardasha do more than a gem worn against the lordship. Blue sapphire strengthens Saturn. If Saturn is your 8th lord, the stone feeds a dusthana while you hoped for a promotion. Yellow sapphire strengthens Jupiter. Use it when Jupiter is the 10th lord, as for Gemini, not as a general success stone.

A 10th lord in the 11th links work to gains. A 10th lord in the 12th links work to other places or to costs. The remedy does not move that lord. It should match the house the lord already occupies.

Saturn in the 10th of the Navamsa delays recognition even when the birth-chart 10th lord is strong. The remedy people want, speed, fights Saturn's nature. The useful stance is to time applications and job changes for the 10th lord's antardasha inside whatever mahadasha is running, and to treat Saturn's 19 years as structure when Saturn is involved.

No remedy prints a salary. The chart times responsibility. Do the work of the 10th, on the weekday of its lord, and leave the mahadasha on its own clock.
