                                                           (Chapter 10 – Career, Profession, Name, Fame & Authority)

Definition & Purpose of Chapter 10:

Chapter 10 is one of the most practical and vital chapters in a Nadi reading. It focuses on how the native’s karma unfolds in the material world, especially through career, public responsibilities, reputation, and societal role. This corresponds to the 10th house in Vedic astrology, known as the Karma Bhava (house of actions, duty, and status).

This chapter reveals how one earns a living, the nature of professional success, the timing of career events, and whether the native is meant to rise to positions of authority or face professional struggles due to karmic baggage.
