Social Status and Ambition: What the 10th House Says
The 10th house in astrology is the house of social status, achievements, professional success and life purpose . It is called the “house of career”, but its meaning is much deeper than just work. This house symbolizes the peak of our realization, how society sees us and what mark we leave on the world. The 10th house is ruled by the sign of Capricorn and the planet Saturn, so it is associated with discipline, ambition and hard work.
What does the 10th house say:
- Career and professional path
This house indicates the sphere of activity where a person can achieve the greatest success. Planets located in the 10th house and the sign on its cusp suggest how a person manifests himself in the professional sphere. For example: Mars in the 10th house – a career that requires activity, leadership, possibly sports or military affairs.
The Moon in the 10th house – work related to care, education, nutrition or the public sphere. - Reputation and Status
This is the house of how others perceive you – your authority, influence and social standing. If there is a strong planet in the 10th house, the person may become famous or achieve a high position. - Parental figure
