In this blog, we will discuss the impact of Rahu and Saturn in 10th house, also known as the horoscope's house of Profession, karmas and as per some North Indian astrologers the house of the father which is opposite to the house of mother i.e. 4th house. How will this yuti (conjunction) affect health, married life, home/happiness and unexpected incidents in life with their positive or negative flavours and the best remedies?

What is the Tenth house of the birth chart?

The 10th house is also known as the horoscope's house of Father (as per Western and some Indian astrologers), workplace, individual’s public image/reputation, profession and overall success that one will achieve.
It is opposite the 4th house so here there is no pleasure/emotion and it is all about work, profession and overall karma of a person. This brings out the work that a person is supposed to do and will do in their lifetime.

Rahu and Saturn conjunction in 10th house of the birth chart General characteristics:

According to Vedic astrology placement of Saturn and Rahu conjunction in the 10th house means a functional malefic conjunction placed in an earthly (Prithvi tattva) place as houses 2,6 and 10 form the Artha/Prithvi (Earth Element) trikon in the natural order.

This house becomes very interesting for this conjunction since Saturn happens to be the natural owner of the 10th house. Rahu, when placed in the 10th house, wants to act like Sun in some manner as Sun gets directional strength in the 10th house and Rahu is an arch-enemy of the Sun so it would be easy to agree that Rahu too would want to shine just as Sun wants to Shine. Here Rahu Shining doesn’t mean that one can see Rahu since Rahu is a shadow planet and cannot be seen by the naked eye. It means that Rahu would want the fame of the person to be big in the world and people should know that person very well just by hearing their name.

Rahu with Saturn in the 10th house is like an Old man (Saturn) paired with a Young man (Rahu) with explosive energy who just wants to run and grab the limelight and the Old man Saturn stops the person restricting for a reason to teach a lesson of life.
This conjunction as always can be good and can be bad or worse as well depending upon multiple factors like their degrees, their Shadbal strength and the absence and presence of other benefic and malefic aspects of other planets in the appropriate houses.

Since this house is the path to success and success as usual can be achieved with either the short way or the long way, the person would have this dilemma to choose the shortcut or the right and long path to success.

Rahu gives the desire to accumulate money by aspecting the 2nd house and Saturn gives interest in the factors of the 12th house by aspecting it with its 3rd aspect which includes expenses/losses and renunciation as well.
The mother of this individual gets affected by this energy as this conjunction is looking directly at the 4th house where Ketu is placed. Mother might have some issues or Mother could be a very non-materialistic personality as well. Ketu here can give some kind of secretive nature as well to this individual’s mother.
Since Ketu is in the 4th house these people would have to travel away from their mother or motherland in due time under the appropriate Dasha or Sub-Dasha.

The person could get interested in politics as well and would serve the masses even if putting a fake front to get the fame achieved from some social work.
This conjunction is a strong indication that the person is born to find the pending karmas and work accordingly as both Planets somewhere relate to the 10th house or even the positioning of the Capricorn zodiac which is the natural 10th house.

This conjunction could have very good or bad results when both these two planets are in the middle part of the zodiac sign and have their full power to give their results. This is because any planet is said to be in its total youthful stage when it is in the very middle part of any zodiac sign.

Rahu and Saturn in 10th house of birth chart and career:

Because this conjunction gives some shrewdness to a person, here it is being formed in the 10th house of the profession so the person would want to do something to get fame in whatever field the person might choose.
Since Rahu gives its 9th aspect to the 6th house of service to which Saturn is also a Kaarak of the 6th house activities that are service and servitude so this person could try to do social work as well for fame.

Individuals could try to dabble their hands in the line of some business as well and if the 2nd house is strong they could also make some money from the business.
We know Rahu is not the traditional follower and its placement in the 10th indicates a strong desire to do something unconventional. Here Saturn can give the person the persistence to do whatever unconventional path one chooses as per Rahu’s directions.

The person could choose any profession as other planets will also play a role in the profession of the individual along with the Dasha and Transit. These individuals could have to do many different jobs at different times as their Dasha and transit change since there could be some instability in the initial phase of a person’s career.

Rahu and Saturn in 10th house of birth chart and Marriage /Married life:

From the conjunction of these planets, Saturn happens to give its 10t aspect to the 7th house of marriage partnership so there could be either issue or there could be longevity and savings of the partnership depending on the zodiac of the 7th house.

Generally, Saturn will give positive results since the 7th house is the most favourable house of Saturn but here with the combined energy of the two malefic planets the 7th house things can suffer. There would be some issues in the partnership of the person as the 4th house of happiness is already afflicted by Ketu being there so what can save the happiness as seen from the 7th house would be the lord of the 7th house and its strength and any positive aspects by the benefic planet Jupiter.
Partners of a person can be of lower strata or different social backgrounds. If Jupiter aspects the 7th house then the chances of the partnership to survive and go a long way increase by a big amount.
Here also the individuals can have multiple partners in the initial phase of life as Saturn would not let the short-term non-serious flings live a long life.

Rahu and Saturn conjunction in 10th house of birth chart and Health:

The areas affected by Saturn in this conjunction would be the areas of Knee joints and the lower portion of thighs so individuals could suffer from the ailments of these areas in the adverse Dasha or Transit.
The overall health of a person would be determined by the dignity and aspects of benefic planets on the ascendant and ascendant lord.

Since Rahu affects the subconscious and also gives its 9th aspect to the 6th house, which is the natural house of Mercury so the subconscious and mind of a person thus get affected by Rahu-driven ways., especially if the moon and mercury are also afflicted or have very low points in Shadbal. This could give a person anxiety or overthinking issues especially related to one’s own image.
This conjunction could make one suffer from the zodiac sign part signification-related diseases as well during unfavourable dasha or sub-Dasha.

• If there are multiple afflictions and adverse Sub-Dasha comes early then the individual could get into different inappropriate jobs like illegal jobs.
• Individuals might get over-ambitious for fame and go to extremes for the same.
• Overthinking for achieving fame can cause some anxiety issues as Rahu also aspects the 6th house of diseases and this will be more prominent if the moon and mercury are also somehow affected by this conjunction either by the aspect of the house ownership or exchange of houses.
• The relationship with the mother could be a little difficult and the person could also stay away from their parents once they grow of age.
• Happiness in general could be difficult to find in such a person’s life as the presence of Ketu also dries the 4th house of happiness and the 10th aspect of Saturn on the 7th house of the marriage could also hamper the overall happiness of a person’s life.
