When the ruler of the tenth house is in the first house, this means that public acknowledgment and career advances will come to you with much less work (or sometimes with no work because of past good karma) than it is the case with most people.
It will be easy for people to notice you, likely because of your talents developed in past lives. Those talents will develop early in your life, and they will be quickly noticed by others.
Career opportunities will find you, rather than you being in search of them. It’s very likely that there is some kind of a destined career for you, and it will come into your life in a way that you will have to take the offer.
So it’s likely that you will be one of those people saying that it was destined for you to do the work that you do.
You probably care a great deal about what people think of you, so you are likely to dress in a respectable manner or to show your status with your appearance. You will feel well when people approve of you, and it could be hard to handle public criticism.
Opportunities for success will come early in your life, but whether or not you take them depends on the state of this astrological configuration. If it’s in a good condition, you will quickly be noticed for your talents, will establish yourself in the right career and attract success with relatively little effort.
However, with an afflicted combination, though opportunities will still come to you, it’s likely that you will ignore them or misuse them. A good job offer may come, you would take it, but then you might not perform well and therefore the employer would have to let you go.
Another meaning of the ruler of the tenth house in the first house is that one of your parents strongly shaped your personality or strongly features in your life. This is likely to be a father, but it’s not always the case.
This astrological combination is considered to be strong, giving more power to your personality to do good or evil. You will surely be noticed in the world for the person that you are. Some people with such a placement achieve fame or infamy.
Your actions and behavior will be more visible to the world than those of others, so don’t be suprised if there’s a bigger public reaction to what you do than if the same action is taken by some other people not having such an astrological configuration. So people will praise you more as a result, but you will get more blame, too.
If you handle your life well, it’s easy with such a combination to achieve honor and a good position in life, where you later become the role model of others. But if afflictions are present, much more awareness will be required to be consistent, wise and useful at work, and not to make sudden and unthoughtful career changes.
