Sun, Jupiter and Ketu in the 10th house at a glance
When Surya + Brihaspati + Ketu (Sun + Jupiter + Ketu) share a sign, a yuti, the chart fuses Sun’s the soul, authority and vital life-force, Jupiter’s wisdom, growth and good fortune and Ketu’s detachment, spirituality and liberation, and here all of it works through the 10th house (Karma), the house of career, status, reputation and your work in the world (Kendra (angular), Upachaya (growing); natural sign Capricorn).

Sun, Jupiter and Ketu in the 10th house: the reading
The Sun and Jupiter are well placed in the 10th house and Ketu gives mixed results there, so the Sun and Jupiter lead the trio here. Inside the trio, Sun and Jupiter do best here: The Sun and Jupiter in the 10th house give an honourable, high career in law, teaching, religion, government or medicine, respect from superiors and the public, and a father of standing. Sun and Ketu are the pair to watch: Ketu with the Sun in the 10th house gives a career of quiet authority in research, healing, spirituality or technical mastery, with indifference to fame and a tendency to leave positions at their height.
When it works
- Honour and high position
- A respected career in law, teaching or government
- Mastery without need for recognition
- Careers in research or healing
What needs care
- Pride in position
- Expecting deference
- Leaving positions prematurely
- Career interruptions; the father's setbacks
