Job Change Timing Calculator
A job change is classically read through THREE houses at once — the 6th (daily work, service, disputes), the 10th (career and public role), and the 12th (endings, transitions, and closures). This calculator scans your entire Vimshottari dasha tree for periods ruled by any of these three houses' lords, surfacing every classically-relevant window across your lifetime.
Ayanamsa: Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) · Scans the full Vimshottari dasha tree for Mahadasha/Antardasha periods ruled by the 6th, 10th, or 12th house lords · MVP scope, disclosed: a real trigger also depends on transits and the rest of the chart, not dasha timing alone

Why Three Houses, Not Just the 10th
A job change specifically (as opposed to a broader career shift) classically involves an ENDING (12th house) of one role and often disputes, competition, or service-related friction (6th house) alongside the career house itself (10th) — checking all three lords together captures this transitional, rather than purely advancing, quality that distinguishes a job change from career growth generally.
How This Differs From the Career Timing Calculator
Career Timing on this site checks the 10th lord and Amatyakaraka specifically for career ADVANCEMENT signals; this calculator instead adds the 6th and 12th houses to capture the more disruptive, transitional pattern classically associated with actually LEAVING one position for another.
What It Means When Multiple Lords Overlap
If your 6th, 10th, and 12th houses happen to share lords (which can happen depending on your Lagna sign), fewer distinct planets need to be tracked, and a single Mahadasha or Antardasha of that shared lord carries triple classical weight — this calculator reports every match without deduplicating that overlap, since it reflects genuinely concentrated significance.
