Go to: 1st house – 2nd house – 3rd house – 4th house – 5th house – 6th house – 7th house – 8th house – 9th house – 11th house – 12th house

The ruler of the tenth house is Saturn and its sign is Capricorn. As you may know, this sign is all about work; so this house deals with what service you provide to society, as well as your public image.

Interestingly, from the fourth house, one can judge with what resources the person starts life, whilst from the tenth – what he will do with the given resources. Whether he will make the best of them, as well as with his talents and abilities, or whether he will misuse/not use them, thus not achieving much in life.

This house shows whether the person can reach fame and importance in the public world. It shows whether the person is driven and ambitious, or whether he lacks the enthusiasm necessary to succeed.

It shows how the native will succeed, and whether people of renown/in some kind of authority position will help them. It shows the likely relationship with the person’s employers.

Since this house is ruled by Saturn, this planet rewards hard work; so those who persistently try to succeed through much honest work will have this house favoring them.

It also rules people of importance in politics, like those holding high positions in this sphere. It rules the governmental structure as well.

Here are the meanings of the planets located in this house.

Pluto in the tenth house
Neptune in the tenth house
Uranus in the tenth house
Saturn in the tenth house
Jupiter in the tenth house
Mars in the tenth house
Sun in the tenth house
Venus in the tenth house
Mercury in the tenth house
Moon in the tenth house

Pluto in the tenth house

It shows that the person will do anything it takes to succeed. He can be a political or spiritual leader, destroying the structures that no longer work and establishing new ones. He might have the ability to foresee the future or to heal in a spiritual way.

He understands and can well deal with people in positions of power. He feels the need to change the world, to make it better in some way. This results in powerful supporters as well as relentless enemies.

He is likely to be misunderstood. If Pluto is well-aspected, the native will plan well for the future of his career and will be able to foresee likely future events and help the society to avoid downfalls or obstacles.

However, if Pluto is afflicted, the native will do all it takes to achieve his selfish occupational interests, sometimes at the expense of others.

There could be a huge career change, sometimes for the worse; but if the lesson is learned, the person can, like a phoenix, rise from the ashes; since that negative career change will happen due to some character deficiency.

Also, you will evolve through your career and public responsibilities. Pluto may make you achieve extraordinary heights in public life or the depths of infamy, or you may have to experience both.

You may find it difficult to work for someone else. You will probably despise the power others have over you and will not want to do as they say. Sometimes self-employment is the only valid option for happiness with such natives. You will feel happy, secure, and confident when you reach power in your career.

Pluto is able to shred your public life into pieces, but this can also cause you to be reborn, to regenerate yourself, to overthink your life and actions.

This placement may also show that your father was domineering. You are likely to fear your father, consciously, or unconsciously.

You are likely to be a workaholic and achieving high status can become the major goal of your life. You are likely to have good relationships with mature people or those in high positions in life.

The native may receive help from secretive and powerful individuals. Sometimes he may not know from whom the help comes, as the individual wants to remain unknown.

With this placement, it’s easy to get involved in politics. If Pluto conjuncts or is near the Midheaven, the person will be known in public. If it’s located towards the end of the tenth house, he may hold powerful secretive occupations/hold power away from the public eye, like being a member or a leader of some occult society.

If Pluto is ill-aspected, the native is likely to become infamous.

He will get noticed by the public whether he wants it or not. He is likely to know how to persuade others, and no obstacle will stop him from achieving his career goals. He is likely to be a perfectionist in his work.

Possible occupations can be connected with finances, research, occult, and politics.

Neptune in the tenth house

Through the help of intuition, you will be able to select the right career. This placement makes you able to have occupations in the field of psychology, spirituality, and psychiatry. You might be a good spiritual leader, actor, artist, musician, or any occupation requiring creativity and spirituality could be good for you. Your profession is likely to be unusual in some way and some strange circumstances may surround it.

If Neptune is ill-aspected, you may be impractical in your job, not being able to get along with co-workers or employers, and not being able to properly plan your career.

If the planet is well-aspected, you may achieve career heights, especially if the career has something to do with spirituality, water, or creativity. An afflicted Neptune may make one unreliable and dishonest; these qualities may cause the native to lose occupation or a good public image. It can serve as a good lesson not to be selfish, so this downfall can benefit the native if he corrects his faults as a result.

It might be that the native goes about his work by simply transferring what he gets from spiritual planes. He should be careful with self-deception, however, especially if Neptune is afflicted. He needs a job that allows him the freedom of his imagination.

He might be a good hypnotist or he can spellbind people when he is in public, like through his performance of some sort, or simply through his personality, eyes, or the way that he uses words.

This placement may also indicate that the father of the native was a dreamer, spiritual, or it could be that he was a drug addict or an alcoholic.

He might not be good at jobs requiring strict structure or organization. The native is just not designed for following strict protocols or doing routine jobs.

It’s very likely that the native won’t have a stable job until the age of thirty. If Neptune is afflicted, the native is likely to be tempted to sell illegal mind-altering substances but he is very likely to get caught.

This placement, if Neptune is afflicted, can influence deceptive people to enter the native’s life through his work. It could also mean that the native himself is deceptive at work. He might even be an energy vampire and might deceive himself about this fact as Neptune tends to blind.

Occupation connected with water could be profitable. A creative occupation, like acting, dancing or painting is also possible, especially if Neptune aspects Venus.

With this placement, it’s important to distance yourself somewhat from occupational praise and blame, because you are likely to be greatly affected by public comments about you, to the detriment of your service to the public.

Neptune may obscure the native’s view about the future so it might make sense, therefore, to get external qualified advice about it. The native may also ask less in payment than what he is really worth.

Uranus in the tenth house

You are likely to have an unusual profession or reputation. You may be a science or spiritual leader. You might be a great humanitarian. You might also choose careers to do with mathematics, electricity/electronics, or astrology. You are likely to create innovations/improvements in your selected career.

You are not bound by traditions in your work; but if Uranus is afflicted in this house, you might be a rebel without a cause.

You will dislike working under anyone and you will strive for personal freedom in your career. You will try to achieve prominence in your work. You might find it difficult to get along with people holding authoritative positions.

You might change quite a few jobs in order to find something that suits you. This placement can make you very picky in your career. You might feel uncomfortable in the usual jobs. You need lots of mental stimulation to keep you interested.

An afflicted Uranus might lift you high in your career and then make you fall. It might be difficult for you to stick to a routine.

Since you value freedom in work so much, it’s best to be self-employed or find work where work hours are flexible and your creative input is appreciated. Hypnotism, writing, or work connected to the field of internet or technology might be good for you also.

You have progressive ideas about society. Your father might have been very unique, a genius, or an eccentric.

One of the best options for your career is in the field of technology or working online. It’s best for you to have freedom of movement in your work, thus internet jobs are preferable.

You may quit work absolutely unexpectedly and quickly. If Uranus is ill-aspected, you may have to go through long periods of unemployment. You might dislike the process of going through formal work selection and therefore might end up doing unusual jobs.

Sometimes this placement might make you famous without you wanting to. You might become famous due to your unique way of approaching work.

In general, this placement makes you not much concerned with your public image or career. So though Uranus can make you lose good public face as well as to regain it, you are likely not too much care about such matters anyway.

He will have a great drive to achieve prominence in his career, especially after the return of Saturn, at around the age of twenty-nine to thirty.

If Saturn is well-aspected, the person will achieve wealth and recognition through his career because of his moral code, good work, and reliability. But if due to the desire to rise in the career, the native doesn’t act in accordance with his morals, this may lead to his downfall.

It’s very important for natives having Saturn in this house to remain moral because Saturn is a very strict teacher wherever he is placed, and this is the house of his strength, so he may easily cause the native to fall if he doesn’t adhere to moral code.

Jupiter in the tenth house

It shows that the person will achieve wealth and success, maybe also will be well-known in his or her career, but that this will usually happen later in life. This benefic planet makes him experience a few obstacles and attract lots of success, especially if the planet is close to the Midheaven.

Jupiter placed in earth signs is an especially good position to acquire wealth. People of position and authority are likely to help the native in his career. People from the law and spiritual fields are likely to help him too.

He will study in order to be recognized for what he does. He will feel happy when the public knows who he is. Others are likely to perceive him as an authority in his field and as a teacher. His employees, or the people he works with, are likely to appreciate him.

This placement also shows that his father is likely to have been an influential and positive figure in his life who contributed to the person that the native is today. He was probably a very successful person who taught the native business or work principles. The father is likely to be respected by others and have a great reputation at work, and this inspired the native to achieve similar goals.

The native is likely to be very ambitious, but also honest and reliable in his work. Due to his high principles, he becomes acknowledged by the public for the way that he works, and for the kind of person that he is. Sometimes this placement can produce good politicians or those who hold official public positions of other sorts, as well as those having their own or manage businesses.

It’s likely that the native will study and research in order to become the one considered most knowledgeable in his sphere. It’s possible that the native will sacrifice his time with family and loved ones in order to achieve more in work.

If Jupiter is afflicted, the person may think that he deserves more than he does in terms of career rewards. It can also indicate the loss of public prominence or a fall from a high position. The native might do almost nothing at work after achieving the status sought for.

Mars in the tenth house

You really want to achieve fame and a high position in life. You are very ambitious and energetic, and you will spend most of your energy to achieve career heights. Professions to do with sports, military, politics, or business management suit you. Also, professions where you have to wear a uniform are going to be attractive to you.

You may become a leader in politics or the military. Your energy may inspire others to be more productive. An ill-aspected Mars may mean that the person will stop at nothing to achieve success in his career and this ruthlessness may cause his downfall. Also, he will strive for material success, so money with an afflicted Mars may be more important than ethics or morals. It can make the native reckless and extreme.

He will never be satisfied with a low position in life and will do all it takes to rise high in his carer. He is happy when his achievements are seen by the public. With such a placement it’s possible to have a personal “rags to riches” story.

If Mars is ill-aspected, this could mean that the native’s childhood was difficult and that his father was overbearing and maybe even violent. So this may create an individual who is driven to succeed just to show to the father that he can achieve heights in life.

Also, an afflicted Mars may make it difficult to get along with people in power positions, and the native may not be able to accept any career advice or suggestions about his career from the public. He may go into the defense mode whenever such a comment is made. Also, he might be too competitive if Mars is afflicted, sometimes using underhand tactics to achieve what he wants.

Since Mars simply shows force, it’s the aspects from other planets that will show whether the native will achieve success in his work or his hard work won’t be much acknowledged. Aspects from Neptune, Pluto, and Uranus may grant success. However, if Mars is located in Taurus or Libra, it could be that the native will use underhand techniques and will be caught, resulting in the loss of a good public image.

The native’s self-esteem is linked with the heights he reaches in his career; thus, he will invest a lot to achieve the highest position possible.

The native will be enthusiastic about achieving his goals and this may motivate others to do the same. For a woman, this placement gives a masculine drive and ambition, and it’s likely to make her into a high achiever. She will display masculine traits in her work.

If the native fails at work, it really goes to his heart. But also when he experiences success, it makes him feel happier than most people.

If Mars conjuncts the Midheaven or is quite near it, the native might be too obsessed about reaching career heights. It could become everything in his life, his single goal. Mars also could grant success very early in life.

If Mars is afflicted, the native might be violent at work and may have troubles with government, police, or people in high power positions. The native might be a poor team player, preferring to have his own business or do work independently from others. Also, the native might choose careers where he can show off his athletic figure.

He might be in general an aggressive individual, but if he channels that aggression only into his drive to succeed in an ethical way, he can achieve amazing career heights.

The native might invest in his appearance so that he’s liked by the public not only for what he does but for how he looks too.
