Rajya Pada (A10) Decoded: Your Career Map & The Nature of Your Boss

By Bavishyavani Research Team | Jaimini Division Updated: January 17, 2026

Let’s clear up a massive confusion. Most people think “Career” is one thing. In Jaimini Astrology, “Career” is a three-headed monster:

1. Ghatika Lagna (GL): This is your Title. (Are you the CEO? Are you the King?). This is about Power.

2. Arudha Lagna (AL): This is your Image. (Do people think you are rich? Are you famous?). This is about Perception.

3. Rajya Pada (A10): This is your Work. (What do you actually do all day? Who do you report to?). This is about Reality.

You can have a strong GL (VP title) but a weak A10 (you sit around doing nothing). You can have a strong A10 (working 18 hours a day) but a weak GL (no promotion, just a “Senior Associate”).

If you want to know the texture of your daily professional life—the politics, the stress, the grind, and the person screaming at you in the meeting room—you need the Rajya Pada (A10). The word “Rajya” means Kingdom or Rule. The word “Pada” means Root.

This point defines your professional territory. Let’s map it out.

Part 1: What is Rajya Pada (A10)?

The Rajya Pada A10 is the Arudha (Reflection) of the 10th House.

The 10th House governs:

• Karma (Action/Work)

• Rajya (Government/Authority)

• Simhasana (The Seat)

So, the Rajya Pada A10 is the physical manifestation of your Karma. It shows:

1. The Nature of Work: Is it physical? Mental? Spiritual?

2. The Workplace: Is it a corporate office, a factory, or a home office?

3. The Boss: The planet in A10 often describes the person you report to.

4. The Change: When the A10 is hit by a Dasha, you change jobs.

The Difference between A9 and A10:

• A9 (Luck): You get the money without sweating.

• A10 (Work): You sweat for every rupee.

• If your chart is A10-dominant, stop buying lottery tickets. You are destined to build your empire brick by brick.

Part 2: How to Calculate Rajya Pada A10

The “Jaimini Jump” formula is standard. Do not deviate.

The Formula:

“Count from the 10th House to its Lord. Then count the same distance again.”

Let’s run the usual drills.

Scenario A: The Direct Count

• Ascendant: Cancer.

• 10th House: Aries.

• Lord of 10th (Mars): Sitting in Gemini.

• Step 1: Count from Aries to Gemini.

  • Aries(1) -> Taurus(2) -> Gemini(3). (3 Steps).

• Step 2: Count 3 steps again from Gemini.

  • Gemini(1) -> Cancer(2) -> Leo(3).

• Result: Your Rajya Pada A10 is Leo.

Scenario B: The “Lord in 10th” Trap

• Ascendant: Leo.

• 10th House: Taurus.

• Lord of 10th (Venus): Sitting in Taurus (Own House).

• Rule: If the Lord is in the House itself, jump to the 10th House from it.

• Calculation: Count 10 houses from Taurus.

• Result: Your A10 is Aquarius.

Scenario C: The “Lord in 4th” Trap (Opposition)

• Ascendant: Virgo.

• 10th House: Gemini.

• Lord of 10th (Mercury): Sitting in Sagittarius (7th from Gemini).

• Rule: If the Lord is in the 7th from the House, jump to the 4th House from the sign.

• Calculation: Count 4 houses from Gemini.

  • Gemini(1) -> Cancer(2) -> Leo(3) -> Virgo(4).

• Result: Your A10 is Virgo.

Part 3: Decoding Your Work (Planets in A10)

Now, look at the sign and planets in your Rajya Pada A10. This tells you what you do.

1. Sun in Rajya Pada A10 (The Leader)

• The Work: Government jobs, Politics, Management, or running your own father’s business.

• The Vibe: You give orders. You hate being micromanaged.

• The Boss: If you are an employee, your boss is highly authoritative, perhaps arrogant, but protective.

2. Moon in Rajya Pada A10 (The Public Figure)

• The Work: HR, Hospitality, PR, Nursing, or anything involving women/masses.

• The Vibe: Your work fluctuates with your mood. You need an environment that feels “safe.”

• The Boss: Your boss is likely a woman or someone very moody/emotional.

3. Mars in Rajya Pada A10 (The Soldier)

• The Work: Engineering, Police, Army, Surgery, Real Estate, or Sales.

• The Vibe: High stress, high energy. You are constantly “putting out fires.”

• The Boss: Aggressive, demanding, and yells a lot. But they reward results.

4. Mercury in Rajya Pada A10 (The Brain)

• The Work: Accounting, Coding, Journalism, Trading, or Marketing.

• The Vibe: You sit at a desk and process data. Lots of emails and meetings.

• The Boss: Young, smart, analytical, or maybe a bit tricky/political.

5. Jupiter in Rajya Pada A10 (The Advisor)

• The Work: Teaching, Law, Banking, Consulting, or Astrology.

• The Vibe: People come to you for advice. You work with your brain, not your hands.

• The Boss: Wise, perhaps older, acts like a mentor rather than a boss.

6. Venus in Rajya Pada A10 (The Artist)

• The Work: Fashion, Cinema, Design, Luxury Goods, or Entertainment.

• The Vibe: Your workplace is beautiful. You deal with pleasure and aesthetics.

• The Boss: Charming, diplomatic, loves luxury, but might be superficial.

7. Saturn in Rajya Pada A10 (The Laborer)

• The Work: Manufacturing, Mining, Agriculture, Service Industry, or heavy corporate administration.

• The Vibe: Routine, repetitive, and hard. You carry the weight of the organization.

• The Boss: Strict, old-school, demanding, and rarely gives compliments.

8. Rahu in Rajya Pada A10 (The Innovator)

• The Work: Technology (AI/Crypto), Foreign Trade, Aviation, or shady deals.

• The Vibe: Unpredictable. You might work in a basement one day and a glass tower the next.

• The Boss: A foreigner, or someone unconventional, manipulative, or visionary.

Part 4: Timing Career Changes (The Job Hop)

When will you resign? When will you get fired? When will you pivot? The Rajya Pada A10 holds the timeline.

The Golden Rule of Change: Significant career changes happen during the Chara Dasha of:

1. The sign containing the Rajya Pada A10.

2. The sign in the 6th, 8th, or 12th from the A10. (These indicate “Loss” or “Transformation” of the job).

Predicting the Shift:

• Dasha of A10: Focus is totally on work. You might get a promotion or just be buried in workload.

• Dasha of 6th from A10: Office politics or disputes. You might quit due to conflict.

• Dasha of 8th from A10: Sudden break. You might get laid off or quit to start a business.

• Dasha of 12th from A10: Transfer to a new location or retirement.

Part 5: The “Boss” Connection (Who owns you?)

This is a specific Jaimini secret. The planet in your A10 doesn’t just show you; it shows the person holding your leash.

Case Scenario:

• You have Saturn in your A10.

• You act like Saturn (Hard worker).

• BUT… your Boss also acts like Saturn.

• Result: You will constantly attract bosses who are taskmasters. Even if you change jobs, the new boss will be just as strict.

How to Break the Cycle: If you hate your boss (e.g., Rahu in A10 giving you toxic bosses), you need to “satisfy” the planet yourself.

• Remedy: Be more Rahu-like in your work (Innovate, use tech). If you embody the energy, the universe stops sending an external person to force it on you.

Part 6: Income from Work (Argala on A10)

This is the big question. “I work hard (A10), but do I get paid?”

Check the 11th House from A10.

• A10 = The Work.

• 11th from A10 = The Gains from Work.

The Analysis:

• Benefics (Jupiter/Venus) in 11th from A10: You get paid well. You get bonuses. Your work is lucrative.

• Malefics (Saturn/Rahu) in 11th from A10: You are underpaid. Or, the money comes with massive strings attached.

• Empty 11th: Look at the Lord. If the Lord is strong, the pay is good.

The “Expenses” of Work: Check the 12th House from A10.

• If you have Malefics here, your job costs you money (e.g., expensive commute, buying your own tools, or forced donations).

Part 7: Case Study (The Politician vs. The Bureaucrat)

Let’s compare two people with power, but different A10s.

Subject A: The Politician

• A10: Leo.

• Planets in A10: Sun + Rahu.

• Analysis: Leo (Power). Sun (Authority). Rahu (Masses/Manipulation).

• Result: He doesn’t have a “job.” He holds a seat. He deals with the public. His work is ruling.

Subject B: The Bureaucrat (IAS Officer)

• A10: Capricorn.

• Planets in A10: Saturn + Mars.

• Analysis: Capricorn (Structure/Govt). Saturn (Service/Duty). Mars (Enforcement).

• Result: He has power, but he works 14 hours a day. He is a servant of the system (Saturn). He executes orders (Mars). He is not the King; he is the Hand of the King.

Part 8: Action Plan (Fixing Your Career)

If your career is stagnant, diagnose the A10.

1. Activate the A10 Sign:

• Look at the sign of your Rajya Pada A10.

• Are you working in that field?

• If your A10 is Gemini (Communication) and you are working in Mining (Saturn/Scorpio), you are misaligned. Pivot to a role involving data, writing, or sales within the mining company.

2. The “Surya” Remedy:

• The Sun is the Karaka for the 10th House (Rajya).

• Regardless of your A10, offering water to the Sun every morning strengthens your professional authority.

• Mantra: “Om Ghring Suryaya Namaha.”

3. Check the “Argala Block”:

• Is there a planet in the 3rd from A10? (Blocking the 11th/Gains).

• Example: A10 is Aries. 11th is Aquarius (Gains). 3rd is Gemini.

• If Saturn is in Gemini, he is blocking your gains.

• Result: You work hard, but the raise is blocked by “Budget issues” (Saturn).

• Fix: Strengthen the 11th House (Aquarius). Donate to a cause related to Aquarius (Humanitarian) to break the block.

Conclusion: Love the Grind

The Rajya Pada A10 is the engine room of your life. It’s not as glamorous as the Arudha Lagna (AL). It’s not as romantic as the Upapada (UL). But it is where you spend 8 to 10 hours of every single day.

If your A10 is afflicted, your life will feel like a prison, no matter how rich you are. If your A10 is strong, you will find joy in the struggle. You will love Monday mornings.

Go find your A10. And when you walk into the office tomorrow, look at your boss. You might just realize… he is exactly who your chart predicted he would be.

Om Tat Sat.

FAQ: Rajya Pada A10

Q: Can A10 show unemployment? A: Yes. If the A10 is heavily afflicted (e.g., A10 has Saturn + Ketu) and the 10th House is also weak, there can be long breaks in career. Also, if the Current Dasha is the 8th from A10, you might be “out of work” or sitting on the bench.

Q: Is A10 used for Business or Job? A: Both.

• A10 shows the Work.

• A11 (Labha Pada) shows the Profit.

• If you run a business, A10 is your daily operations. A11 is your P&L sheet.

• If you have a job, A10 is your role. A11 is your salary.

Q: What if A10 is in the 8th House? A: This is a “Hidden Career.”

• You might work in research, occult, espionage, or insurance.

• Or, your work involves managing other people’s crises.

• It can also mean your career is unstable—lots of sudden ups and downs.

Q: Does A10 indicate retirement? A: Retirement is often seen when the Dasha shifts to a sign that has no connection to A10, or connects to the 4th House (Comfort/Rest) from A10. The 12th from A10 dasha also signals the end of a professional cycle.
