Doing the work but the promotion or recognition keeps stalling? Your chart usually holds a clue, and, importantly, the likely timing.
What the chart looks at
- 10th house, profession, status, public standing.
- 11th house, normal promotions and gains; the 5th, 9th, sometimes 1st can bring sudden or unexpected rises.
- The D-10 (Dasamamsa) chart, the deeper picture of career strength and direction.
- The Sun, the significator of authority and recognition; a weak Sun can delay being seen and rewarded.
The real picture, and the timing, comes from the D-10 and your current dasha (planetary period), which is when a promotion is most likely to open.
When will it open?
A focused career reading shows the cause of the block and the likely window for advancement, read from your D-10 and dasha.
