The Dasamsa (D10) is the chart practitioners consult when career or public status is the subject of the reading. Each 30° sign divides into ten 3° parts. Classical sources read the D10 as the chart of the 10th house — career, public reputation, accomplishment, and the work the person becomes known for.
Practitioners use the D10 to read career questions in detail. The 10th house of the D10, its lord, the placement of the Sun (natural significator of public status) and Saturn (significator of sustained career effort) in the D10, and the planets in the 1st and 10th houses of the D10 together give a richer career reading than the Rasi alone can.
Modern Vedic practice sometimes elevates the D10 to a primary divisional chart for working professionals. The argument is sound — most people in modern economies spend more of their conscious life on career than on any other single domain — and the D10 tends to be the most actionable specialised varga for that reason.
How to read it
Read the 10th house of the D10, the 10th-house lord of the Rasi as placed in the D10, and the Sun and Saturn as placed in the D10. Together they describe the chart's career trajectory and the kind of work the person is structurally suited to.
Pitfalls
Don't read the D10 as a job-hunting tool. It describes the structural shape of the career arc, not which specific role to apply for. The shape sometimes makes itself known only in retrospect.

The free Vedic birth chart computes D1 + D9 by default; the paid chambers expand to the full Shodashavarga when the reading calls for it. Pull up your chart and see how the Dasamsa maps your career, public status, accomplishment domain.

Each sign split in ten — the chart of career, public status, and visible accomplishment. The Dasamsa divides each 30° sign into 10 parts and re-maps the planets accordingly to zoom in on the domain of career, public status, accomplishment.
Each 30° sign splits into ten 3° parts. In odd signs, the first part starts from the same sign; in even signs, from the 9th sign from itself.
