Dear Narasimha ji, Venkat ji and all,
In KAS which is also traditional, D10 is NOT used for Career. Therefore saying
that traditionally its used for Career might be incorrect.
I do know that you keep an open mind about things and I want to just highlight
the fact and some food for thought based on a tradition of KAS and its teachings
that might give some food for thought as you are a sanskrit scholar and I might
offer another chain of thinking and share what I have learnt.
D10 is Mahatphalam and that is used for studying the details about 8th house.
The 10th house is Mool Karak for 8th house so making 10 equal divisions and
studying the karaks will give you more detail about 8th house. Just as D7 is
used for 5th house, D3 for 1st house, D9 for 7th house, similarly D10 is used
for 8th house.
I am no sanskrit scholar but from whatever little has been explained to me the
word "Maha" or "Mahat" is used in sanskrit which sort of marks the ending of
things. For example Mahayatra or Mahanirvan or Mahavastra all indicate or point
towards the last yatra, or cloths that one puts before the funeral pyre or final
nirvana.
There is perfect symmetry for the divisional charts (except Trishansa and Hora
and both of them have their meaning and together they include all 7 planets).
Therefore the logic for the dcharts is based on mool karak theory i.e. the Karak
of Karak and that is the 3rd house from the house under focus. [Here I am
talking of Karaks as explained in KAS and not whats given in say in general
texts which might have become corrupted over time or the possibility is there]
For 5th house D7 is used For Sibblings D3 is used as 1st house is 5th from 9th
so ALL children of Father are seen from 1st house and the 3rd house is the mool
karak and therefore 3 equal divisons are made and hence D3.
Similarly for 10th house, D12 (happiness derived from father or till the time
the child lives with parents), D24 (when the child earns and D24 has been
alloted to be the knowledge and this knowledge is knowledge of earning a
living), D60 (Life time of achievement - in other words past life means the life
from birth till that point where the person has worked and accumulated good will
and his deeds will speak or his cummulative karma of life).
For 7th house its D9 and D45 etc etc.
I think, the use of D10 has become corrupt over time as no where this is given
that one has to see Career from D10. Mahatphalam is to be studied from D10 is
given.
I do understand that mostly on all the jyotish groups now a days one has used
D10 for finding profession, but if one is true to his or own concience then one
will study this further.
I have written several mails on this and d charts as per my learnings.
My 2 cents for what its worth and maybe you can do some thinking on this as this
knowledge I have written is from my Guru ji.
Cheers,
Ash
