Planets in houses · Kendra
Chandra in the 10th house
Moon · Karma Bhava
Chandra is the karaka (significator) of mind, mother, emotions and peace. The 10th house, called Karma Bhava, shows career, status and karma. When Chandra sits here, these matters take on its colour.
In the 10th house a benefic brings respect, ethical work and a good name in one's career.
The 10th house is a kendra (angular house), a pillar of the chart, so a graha here shows its results openly and strongly.
The 10th house is opposite to where Chandra gets directional strength, so it loses some power here.
Chandra gives its best results here when it is exalted in Vrishabha, in its own sign (Karka) or in a friendly sign, and when it is not combust.
Results are weaker if Chandra is debilitated in Vrishchika, combust, or afflicted by malefics.
In transit (gochar)
When Chandra transits the 10th house counted from your Moon sign, the period is traditionally favourable.
A single placement is never read alone: sign, aspects, conjunctions, dasha and the whole chart change the outcome.
