What it means
The 10th house, Karma Bhava, is a kendra and upachaya house in the chart. It governs career, status and reputation, authority and public work. Venus (Shukra) signifies love and marriage, the wife in a man's chart, comforts and vehicles, arts and beauty and luxury. When Venus occupies this house, these two sets of themes blend.
Effects by life area
| Area | Tendency |
|---|---|
| Career | Generally favourable; Venus adds ease and support. |
| Status and reputation | Supportive, especially in Venus's dasha. |
| Authority | Generally favourable; Venus adds ease and support. |
| Public work | Supportive, especially in Venus's dasha. |
Key classical points
- The 10th is a kendra (angle), so Venus here is prominent and shapes the whole chart.
How the sign changes the result
| Condition | Sign | Effect |

Timing
Venus's Vimshottari Mahadasha lasts 20 years. The themes of the 10th house become most visible during the Venus Mahadasha or Antardasha, and when Saturn or Jupiter transit over this house.
