Tenth house is the house of career, career prestige and father. Ketu feels awkward in tenth house cause Ketu doesn't care about career, prestige or relationships much. According to Bhrigu Samhita, Sun, Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn are lords of tenth house. Ketu is neutral towards most of them apart from Sun. Yet Ketu does not feel comfortable in tenth house.

     Ketu has an agenda of his own and wouldn't let career progress or prestige bother him. Ketu does not care what others think of him. Ketu is anti-social and speaks the harsh truth. This means career as administrator, in marketing, management or MNC is less suited. Even politics is less suited unless other planets help. Ketu can give an excellent career in occult subjects like astrology, tarot reading, tantra, exorcism, magic, mysticism, numerology among others. Ketu can also make a person an excellent spiritual leader. If other planets in the horoscope are supportive than ketu can make a person a fine doctor or surgeon. Ketu can also allow working as a mercenery or hitman for hire. Its less likely that a person with Ketu in tenth house can have stable job. So its advisable to start ones own business or be self-employed if possible.

     Tenth house also rules father, mother-in-law and boss. Father should be a caring person but unable to truly understand the native. Its advisable not to get angry at father if he doesn't understand your point of view. Tenth house also signifies youth. And with Ketu in tenth house there are chances of tough life during youth years. Mother-in-law may remain indifferent towards native. Boss at workplace maybe hard to deal with. Native may not get along well with co-workers unless other factors in horoscope help.

     With Ketu in tenth house there would be Rahu in fourth house. And that means a person should avoid buying vehicles, property and land in his/her name. And its best not to be involved in real estate. There are chances of legal troubles and losses via land and property dealings. There are chances of foreign migration and working in foreign countries. Although chances of pleasant experience on foreign soil are less.

     Ketu is bad in tenth house. Its best to be self-employed or start ones own business. There can be troubles and loneliness troubling a person in youth years. Native must learn to keep calm and pass those difficult times. Don't take out anger and frustration on parents especially father. Try to be professional around mother-in-law. If possible one must pray to Lord Ganesha especially in youth years to keep calm. Prayers to Lord Shiva can also help.
