The 10th house is the house of career, public image, and authority. Venus (Shukra) represents the wife.
Earlier, Dr. Sharma explained that a man with Venus in the 10th must surrender to his wife's good advice to succeed. But what happens if the Venus is negative or afflicted?
If the Venus is bad, the wife becomes a source of public humiliation. Dr. Sharma warns that she will be highly egoistic, demanding, and will constantly create scenes that destroy the man's reputation. "Sar mein swaah padegi" (ashes falling on the head) is a metaphor for absolute public disgrace and ruin caused by the spouse's actions.
