Promotion and salary hike: when does it come? The signs in your Kundli

"Hike kab milega?" is a question that comes up every appraisal season. A promotion has two sides in a chart. The 10th house shows your position and reputation. The 11th house shows income and gains. A raise needs both to be active.

What brings a promotion

• The main period or sub period of the 10th lord, the 11th lord, the lagna lord or the Sun, the planet of authority.
• A strong 6th house, which supports service and the ability to outwork competition.
• Jupiter in transit over the 10th or 11th house, or looking at them.
• Saturn in the 3rd, 6th or 11th from the Moon, which rewards hard work with recognition.

Jupiter and your 11th house in 2027

• 25 January to 25 June: Vrishabh, Kanya, Makar and Meen.
• 26 June to 26 November: Mesh, Mithun, Tula and Kumbh.
• From 26 November: Vrishabh, Kark, Vrishchik and Meen.

If your rashi appears on one of these lists while a good dasha is running, the odds of a raise or a better role are strongest. If not, it does not mean a promotion cannot happen. It only means you may need to ask for it more directly.

Planets give timing, not outcomes. Keep a record of your results, ask for a review before appraisal time and be specific about the role you want.
