Das / Behari: "very good for religion. ... attracted to rituals, observances, study of scripture & good association with others into these things.
However, it also gives attraction to material achievement, recognition, status. You must learn that this later quality distracts from the earlier mentioned good qualities. Then only can religion be purified. ...
good for fame & prosperity... will visit sacred places, be charming, happy, skilled, perform sacrifice, & receive divine knowledge. It is one of the best possible karmas because it represents being near to the end of karma. It will take care of you in many ways.
It is not such a good indicator for the material father however.
... interested in devotion, & able to perform austerity, be saintly, noble. You will probably at some point receive honor & servants. ... will cause you to one day own a nice house, enjoy the respect of the higher class. You revere the saintly persons & say your prayers. You paint your house red, yellow & green. You receive support from authorities. You can be deeply arrogant however, & sometimes a real lush, performing little penance. You may end up an ascetic, virtuous, learned, observing fasts. Good for theologians & religious advisors.. can be ideal if balanced in all things. You prefer to deal straight. You should be able to gain opulence unless other forces prevent it."

More conservative religious views mixed with sincere desire for good government & ethical leadership. Handles public attention with aplomb. Guru is toned-down in domain-10, where the business of public administration & iconic moral leadership is constraining to Brihaspati, who is a natural philosopher & teacher. Still, the career goes well. Unless Guru is ill-disposed, the native enjoys holding positions of responsibility & power.
Much exposure to public inquiry. The native is well-known & generally respected. The public may believe that the native knows more than one really does, but the native is happy to sustain the public's faith in their iconic wisdom. One meets the public queries with a confident smile.
From domain-10, the drishti of Brihaspati extends to domain-2, domain-4, and domain-6. Benefits stored wealth, accumulation of lands and properties, access to education, and access to medicines.
As 11th-from-12th, domain-10 provides gains from foreign travel, meditation, private imagination, and loss of individual ego identity.
Das / Behari: "an inner ideal. ... free to pursue what you believe in. You can be a good counselor, an ethical professor, an occultist who studies the future, or an affectionate parent and friend. ... much affection that shows. You may lack the pure quality of humility somewhat at times due to your good qualities.
You may be more traditionally religious rather than esoteric. Socially you try to be protective & sincere rather than a fiery leader with a cause. Versatile, flourishing, success from the beginning, reputed, happy, rich, famous, blessed with friends and conveyance. ... chance of danger in the 34th year....
gives land wealth & other wealth, makes you interested in scholarly pursuits... averse to adultery. You are religious. You try to perform good deeds. You get success, recognition & high friends. You gain through the spouse, social life, business. You had a noble birth perhaps, and you gained through family. At times in your life you will get good positions. ... the kind of person who surrounds yourself with religion and a nice house. You are noble at heart & wish to work in high, learned and sincere pursuits. ... wealth of various good varieties."
P.M. Indira Gandhi
Increases mobility in the marketplace, and raises prospects for profitability in business. Positive expectation that one will reach one's goals. Confident operation in the marketplace.
From domain-11, Guru sends a drishti to domain-3, domain-5, and domain-7. The overall life improvement from this placement includes a positive mental attitude (3), increase of intelligence and children (5) and an optimistic, cheerful spouse (7) in additional to marketplace movement and appreciation (11) by one's network of friends and associates.
Guru always feels a bit constrained in Shani's houses (10 and 11) where following the rules is a precondition of success. However, with a bit of circumspection, Guru can negotiate the rules of the marketplace and inject some positive expectation into the networks of communication which develop new ideas and bring them to market.
Excellent for work with large assemblies such as international conferences, internet connectivity, very large churches and religious fellowships, the Mela gatherings of India and giant gatherings in N.A. such as rainbow and burning man, global undertakings of most varieties.
The constraint which is uncomfortable for Guru/11 is always that the scope of Guru's vision will be reduced by Shani's need for structure, rules, & regulations - i.e., crowd control! Generally a happy & well-connected placement. Elder brothers, cousins, & friends-of-friends step forward to offer connections to help the native reach one's goals.
If Guru+Ravi or Guru receives drishti of Ravi, gives name, fame, and lasting friendships.
Das / Behari: " ... learned, a follower of traditional social values, & fond of religious discourses. You earn wealth through religious scholarship or by way of your sons. At heart you are some sort of priest & your income may be derived in that manner. ... a very earnest individual working very conscientiously; you are eminently respectable & seek to attain perfection, though you are willing to compromise with reality when necessary.
Psychologically, you are so independent that you regard yourself as a leader & maintain a very healthy sense of dignity in your personal deportment. You suffer sorrow from elder brother ... very good for overall gains in life, & fulfillment of desires.
Alert, mindful, can serve others well. Shoulders the responsibility of your father. Blessed with children ... Wealth is for others, & not for you. You surprise your own family. Good for religion. Conveyance & attendants. Saintly; little education ... Longevity, success & gain. Very sharp. Reputed & accredited. Rich. Valiant, fond of beautiful attire.
Handsome, skilled & fickle. Healthy, strong, advisor, learned in scriptures, gentle. You are brave, wealthy with best of the jewels, dresses & conveyance; government favor. Promotes your family interests. Religious & rich. You are learned, blessed with sons, happy & prosperous.

You are long living, healthy, affluent. Happiness through spouse, sons & friends. Scholarly & pious. Great gain in 32nd year. Reputation through many sources. You are blessed either with children, wealth or education. Gain through many sincere & fortunate friends, eminent personalities, judges, legislators, bankers, doctors & people of status. Gain through social life. Wish-fulfillment through influential friends. (5th-from-7th) Gain through marriage partner."
Vyayasthana is Vrihas-pati's natural house, a good place for Guru in almost any rashi: Native is blessed with access to sanctuaries. Much travel to foreign lands, often in pursuit of religious experience. Well treated when traveling, happy circumstances for a foreigner.
Material benefits are somewhat reduced because dharma is channeled more into the subconscious & dream states. Superior dreamer & sanctuary healer. Abundance of bed pleasures. Rich imagination. Vivid intuitive knowledge of altered states of consciousness, trance healing, and passage through physical death. Excellent death facilitator, full of wise presence at the time of passage. Communicates easily with ancestor spirits.
Das / Behari: "Guru protects you in whatever circumstances you may be placed, slowly & steadily guiding you on your pilgrimage.... enables you to indulge yourself in material desires so that you may finally realize the futility of such a practice. This process, however, takes a long time to release you from material bondage. Meanwhile, it will seem as if you are following a path of unrighteousness. You may become lazy, neglectful of meritorious acts, mentally unbalanced, coveting diverse objects which cannot all be attained simultaneously, & indulging in activities which may bring you into disrepute. However, you will spend extravagantly on religious & philanthropic programs as well as on your own luxurious lifestyle. You experience difficulties in life which are primarily intended to make you aware of the futility of your efforts to satisfy your senses. Goes to heaven after death ...
[If Guru is auspicious] You gain through medicine, or occult studies; fond of ancient learning; through generous & charitable acts; abode in places away from birth; helpful & seeks help. Gain through enemies by prevailing on them. Gain through affections, religions, collegiate, political or foreign affairs. Quiet & secret help from friends & others; success after 30.
[If Guru is inauspicious/less auspicious] People are averse to you; uses bad language; childless; immoral; service. Arrogant. Miserly, greedy, helping the wicked. Good for uncles. You gain abundant wealth; disputes with own people, strife, tuberculosis, large expenses, travel, migration, government disfavor, poor, learned, good at mathematics, few sons, glandular sores, incompetent.
