Introduction: Understanding Pending Karma in Vedic Astrology
In Vedic astrology, pending karma refers to unresolved actions or duties from past lives that follow us into this birth. These karmic footprints are carried into our present life through planetary placements and specific house combinations. Learning how to recognize and balance them can bring peace, success, and spiritual growth.
Many people unknowingly repeat certain patterns in relationships, career, or health. These are often signs of unfulfilled karmas. Fortunately, with astrology’s guidance, it’s possible to recognize these patterns and apply easy remedies to release them.
The Astrological Indicators of Pending Karma
1. 8th House – The Past Life Profession and Karma
The 8th house is a key house for understanding past life actions. It reveals the nature of ones previous life, especially related to profession, secrets, or even sudden transformations.
If this house is occupied or aspected by malefics like Rahu or Ketu, it often indicates unfinished spiritual or material pursuits.
A benefic planet like Jupiter here shows righteous karma related to teaching, guidance, or spiritual work.
2. 10th House – Karma in Action
The 10th house represents karma in this life. When studied alongside the 8th house, it reveals how your past actions are influencing your current responsibilities, profession, or fame.
For example:
Jupiter in the 10th house often points to guru-like duties — teaching, guiding, and writing.
A combination of 8th lord in 10th house or vice versa indicates a strong karmic overlap between past and present.
3. D60 Chart – The Souls Blueprint
The Shashtiamsha or D60 chart provides granular insights into your spiritual DNA. It shows the deeper karmic threads that arent visible in the D1 chart.
Planets in 5th or 10th house of D60 reveal Purva Punya (past life merit) and karma-phala (result of actions).
🧬 D60 Chart – The Souls Blueprint
The 10th house in the D60 chart represents the souls karmic profession, past-life duties, and how they manifest in this lifetime. It reflects karma carried over into work, authority, and the responsibilities your soul is born to fulfill.
