Sun, Venus and Rahu in the 10th house at a glance
When Surya + Shukra + Rahu (Sun + Venus + Rahu) share a sign, a yuti, the chart fuses Sun’s the soul, authority and vital life-force, Venus’s love, beauty and the pleasures of life and Rahu’s obsession, worldly ambition and the pull of illusion, 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).
Each graha in the 10th house
Surya (Sun) in the 10th houseMalefic
The Sun at its throne (dig bala): outstanding for career, fame, authority and government or leadership, with high status earned through one’s own action.
Shukra (Venus) in the 10th houseBenefic
A career in the arts, beauty, luxury, diplomacy or entertainment, but Venus (comfort) sits in the house of effort, so success asks it to work rather than simply enjoy.
Rahu (Rahu) in the 10th houseMalefic
Worldly success and fame, an unconventional or foreign career and political or technological rise; Rahu climbs high in the 10th, sometimes by unusual means.
Where each is strong or weak by sign:

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Surya (Sun) | Malefic | Leo | Aries | Libra |
| Shukra (Venus) | Benefic | Taurus, Libra | Pisces | Virgo |
