In an Indian horoscope the 10th House is the house of karma or action. It is the zenith of a Horoscope, in Vedic astrology. It shows the destiny of birth irrespective of other achievements. A person who has done his PhD may work as a simple school teacher if the 10th house is not strong in his horoscope. It also explains why people do different kinds of job irrespective of their educational qualifications. When ever a major dasa changes, its effect must be looked into the 10th house.  This is because it is the dasa lord which decides the kind of occupation to be undertaken by a person during the dasa period.
