SymbolismoftheDasamsaorTenthharmonic(divisionalchart)
EverystudentofJyotishknowswellthatapartfromthenatalchartorrasichakra,thereareotherdivisionalchartsor
vargas used for better clarity as well as for a more indepth analysis. While some of the vargas like Drekkana (D3),
Navamsa (D9), Dwadasamsa (D12) and Shastiamsa (D60) are to be used for both the overall results as well as
specific results, there are other charts that are used for specific purposes. Dasamsa is one among such important
vargas.ItiswellknownthatDasamsaorD10isusedtoshedmorelightonprofessionorcareer.Butisthatall?What
istheactualscopeofthisdivision?LetusseewhatParasara(BPHS)saysabouttheDasamsa.AccordingtoParasara
(BPHS7),theD10orDasamsaisusedforjudgingMahatphalam.
The word mahatphalam, can loosely be translated as Great results or Great fruits. Now that does not directly or
necessarily mean just career or profession. The dasamsa is used (along with the rasi or natal chart) to predict about
mattersrelatedtocareer,status,achievements,onesroleinthesociety,etc.Thisisalsowhatthe10thhouseormid

While the 9th house signifies dharma, the tenth signifies svadharma. While dharma is universal to a certain extent,
svadharma is very much individual and varies from individual to individual. Now what is svadharma? Simply put
svadharmaiswhatanindividualneedstowithhis/herlifeinordertoevolve.Butspiritualevolution,rathertheascent
back to the original state, the cosmic roots, is also linked to liquidation of karma. Thus the tenth house affords us a
chance to liquidate karma through ones career or whatever one most naturally is suited to do. The 4/10th is very

enigmaticandprobablyoneoftheleastunderstoodinaway.AwordabouttheMeridianaxisorthe4/10axis.

and to put down roots is seen here. Consequently, 4th house events are related to ones search for situations and
people who can offer material and moral security. A negative manifestation could indicate lack of the muchneeded
supportorconflictathome.Butthiscouldoftendriveonetotheoppositehouseasacompensation.Rememberthat

eachother.

the others (7th), the 4/10 tells about ones sense of identity, about the way one expresses oneself, the objective

the highest manifestation of Ketu in the 10th is selfrealisation (remember Ketu in 10th in ideal conditions can give
selfrealisationasinthecaseofSriRamakrishna).
Having covered the significance of the angles, especially the 4th and the 10th, let me move to the dasamsa, by
remindingyouthatmuchofthesymbolismofthetenthgetsrepeatedintheDasamsa.
