Righteousness is known from the 9th; intellect and profession from the 10th; gains from the 11th; and expenditure from the 12th, always.
भाग्यप्रमावगुरुधर्मतपःशुभानि संचिन्त्येन्नवमदेवपुरोहिताभ्याम् । भाग्येशदेवसचिवौ शुभवर्गयातौ भाग्ये शुभग्रहयुते समुपैति भाग्यम् ॥

With the Moon strong in the tenth, in exaltation and allied vargas, joined or aspected by Mercury, the best of men becomes a performer of sacrifices and famous; but if Jupiter and the Moon stand afflicted and defeated, even a doer of good deeds fails to attain the glory of karma.
आयस्थः शुभखेचरः शुभधनं पापस्तु पापार्जितं मित्रैश्रमिश्रधनं समेति भनुजस्तज्जातकोक्तं वदेत् । लाभस्थानगतः समस्तगुणवानिष्टाधिकश्चेद्बली जातो यानविभूषणाम्बरवधूभोगादिविद्याधिकः ॥

A benefic eleventh lord brings pure wealth, a malefic brings ill-gotten gains, and mixed planets give mingled wealth, so say the classics; when the eleventh house holds a full-strength planet of every excellence, the native excels in vehicles, ornaments, garments, wives, enjoyments and learning.
त्यागी शुभग्रहयुते कृषकश्च धर्मी पापेऽवसानगृहगे तु विवादशीलः । नेत्रामयः पवनकृच्चपलोऽटनः स्यादुच्चस्वमित्रभवने तु परोपकारी ॥
tyāgī śubhagrahayute kṛṣakaśca dharmī pāpe'vasānagṛhage tu vivādaśīlaḥ | netrāmayaḥ pavanakṛcchapalo'ṭanaḥ syāduccasvamitrabhavane tu paropakārī ||
