Dashamsha (D10) Chart Calculator
Frequently asked questions about Dashamsha (D10) Chart
What is a Dashamsha chart?
The tenth divisional chart (D10, Dasamsa). Each rasi is split into ten parts of 3 degrees. Odd signs count those amsas from the same rasi; even signs count from the 9th. The twelve houses are read from the Dashamsha of the rising sign as house 1. Classical practice uses it for karma, profession and public status.
Does a weak planet in D10 mean I will never have a career?
No. A planet that looks strong in the birth chart but falls to a weak Dashamsha tends to deliver less in public work than it appears to; the reverse also holds. That is a modifier, not a veto. Dasha, the natal 10th lord and ordinary effort still matter. Treat a difficult D10 as a reason to look more closely, not as a verdict that work can never be done.
How is this different from Kundli Maker?
Same D10 mathematics and the same D10 lagna as house 1. Kundli Maker is the full natal file - D1, every varga, dasha and strength tables. This page is only the Dashamsha: North and South drawings, the D1-to-D10 table, dashamsha deities and the 10th of karma.
How is this different from Best Career Possibility or Navamsha?
Best Career Possibility scores profession from the D1 10th, karakas and yogas. Job Possibility in Kundli asks whether salaried work is supported. This page draws the D10 chart itself. Navamsha (D9) is dharma and marriage, not career. Vimsopaka Bala includes D10 as one weighted varga in a 20-point dignity score.
Is the 10th from D10 lagna my job title?
It is the classical house of profession in the career chart, not a job title and not a timing. Read it with the natal 10th lord placed in D10, and with Sun, Saturn and Mercury. Same sign in D1 and D10 is an echo, not vargottama - that test is D1 = D9 on the Vargottama Planet Finder.
Why does the birth time matter so much?
Each Dashamsha is only 3 degrees of the rasi chart, so a few minutes can move Lagna or a graha into the next D10 sign and redraw every house. Pick the city from the dropdown and use the recorded time. If the time is rounded, treat the chart as provisional.
About Dashamsha (D10)
Dashamsha (D10, Dasamsa) divides each rasi into ten parts of 3°. Odd signs count the ten amsas from the same rasi; even signs count from the 9th. The chart is read from the Dashamsha of the rising sign as house 1. Classical practice uses it as the chart of karma, profession and public status: a planet that looks strong in the birth chart but falls in a weak Dashamsha tends to deliver less in career than it appears to, and the reverse also holds. The 10th from this D10 lagna is the usual house of profession in the career chart.
This page is that Parashari D10: North and South Indian drawings, a D1-to-D10 table with amsa and BPHS dashamsha deity, the natal 10th lord in D10, and Sun, Saturn and Mercury as career karakas. It is the same Dashamsha as the D10 dropdown on Kundli Maker, focused here as its own calculator. It is not the Best Career Possibility score (D1 10th and yogas), not Job Possibility in Kundli, not the Navamsha (D9) Chart (dharma and marriage), and not Vimsopaka Bala (D10 as one weighted varga in a 20-point score).
Enter the exact birth time and pick the city from the dropdown. A few minutes can move Lagna or a graha into the next dashamsha and redraw the houses. Results are free to share or save as a PDF. Editorial pages are reviewed by Astro Arpita Nath.
