What is the D10 (Dashamsha) Chart?
- The Moon's dashamsha, Gemini in the D10
The D10, also called Dashamsha or Karmamsha, is the divisional chart used to study career, profession, public status, authority, success, promotion, demotion, reputation, and professional karma.
Do not read D10 in isolation. First, check the D1 birth chart for the overall promise of your career, especially the 10th house, 10th lord, Lagna, Lagna lord, Sun, Saturn, and relevant dashas. Then, use the D10 to understand the deeper professional pattern. Our guide on how to read the D10 chart works through a sample chart.
Yogas in D10 give results primarily in professional matters. A Raj Yoga in the D10 can lead to heightened professional status, authority, and recognition, while a Dhana Yoga formed here indicates strong wealth accumulation through career. These results usually become pronounced during the dasha/antardasha of planets forming or activating those yogas.
When examining dasha timing for career events, look at planets connected to the D10 10th house, 10th lord, or exalted planets for potential promotions and rise. Conversely, career trouble, resignations, or sudden shifts can be anticipated during the dashas of planets connected to the 6th, 8th, or 12th houses in the D10. Always confirm timing from D1, D10, dasha, and transits together.

How to Use the D10 Chart
The D10 gives a magnifying glass for professional matters. Here are some key planetary and house placements in D10 and what they represent.
- D10 Lagna & Lagna Lord
- The D10 Lagna shows the foundation of your career and how you approach work. A strong D10 Lagna and its lord give a stable professional base and resilience, while a weak one can mean career instability.
- D1 10th Lord in D10
- One of the most important factors. A strong and well-associated D1 10th lord in D10 indicates smooth career progress, status, and recognition. If afflicted, it points to obstructions or dissatisfaction.
- D10 10th House & Lord
- The heart of the D10 chart. A strong 10th house/lord shows expertise, success, professional authority, and leadership potential. Planets influencing the 10th show the type of work you excel in.
- Sun in D10
- Represents authority, leadership, government, and recognition. A strong Sun in a kendra/trikona brings high status, while a weak Sun can lead to problems with authority figures or a lack of confidence.
- Saturn in D10
- Signifies work discipline, long-term karma, systems, and subordinates. A strong Saturn brings support from teams and structural success, whereas an afflicted Saturn brings delays, burden, and workplace politics.
- Moon & 4th House
- The Moon shows your mental attitude toward work, and the 4th house shows your emotional satisfaction. A strong 4th house means you find comfort and inner peace in your profession.
