The 11th Lord in the 10th House

The 11th lord in the 10th house is the ruler of the 11th, the Labha Bhava, placed in the 10th, the Karma Bhava. The 11th is an upachaya and the 10th a kendra and an upachaya. Which graha that lord is depends on the ascendant, so the table below answers for all twelve.

Counted from the 11th, the 10th is the 12th house, which from any house is a dusthana position; counted back from the 10th, the 11th is the 2nd.

On the Parashari reading, in which a lord carries its house’s matters to wherever it sits, the 11th lord in the 10th reads the 11th’s matters — income and gains, friends and networks, aspirations, and elder siblings — through the 10th’s: career and profession, public reputation, authority, and achievements. For the 11th lord in the 10th that is a frame, not a forecast; what it comes to depends on the graha, its dignity below, and the rest of the chart.

The 11th Lord in the 10th, Ascendant by Ascendant

Across the twelve ascendants the 11th lord in the 10th is in its own sign for Aries, in a friend's sign for Gemini, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio and Aquarius, in a neutral sign for Taurus, Cancer, Capricorn and Pisces and debilitated for Sagittarius. The Sun and the Moon rule one sign each, so for Virgo and Libra, where one of them is the 11th lord, it rules no other house; for the other ten the last column gives the second house the 11th lord brings with it to the 10th.

For Aries ascendant the 11th lord, Saturn, also rules the 10th, so in the 10th it sits in its own other sign, Capricorn.

The Reverse: the 10th Lord in the 11th

Where the 10th lord sits in the 11th in the same chart as the 11th lord in the 10th, each lord occupies the other’s sign, an exchange the texts call parivartana. That is possible for eleven ascendants. For Aries (Saturn) one graha rules both the 11th and the 10th, so there is nothing to exchange.
