Planets in the 10th house

I’m bored, so I am writing this. Never fear, it doesn’t take me that long.

The 10th house represents our public image, career, the father or mother depending on which astrologer you talk to, ambition, success, worldly view, etc. The Midheaven is an angle in the 10th house.

Sun in the 10H: I know some people with this placement and one is my best friend. The Sun represents your ego and general personality. You value work, hard work, success ( your own terms of what success is, btw ), and a career. You basically know what you want and how to get it. You do not tolerate laziness or people whom you perceive as lazy, or not doing their potential. You know you are full of potential, so you try your best at everything. You know your strengths and weaknesses and you are an overall confident person. ** unless your sun makes some squares.Career wise, this placement does not denote a particular field, but whichever field you choose, you are competent in it with hard work and skill.

Moon in the 10H: My aunt also has this ( and Moon conj her MC ). She’s a housewife and has been for many years. However, she’s expressed that she might sometime want to go back to school and work in some kind of health facility where she helps people. Your public image is that you are very nurturing and motherly. This placement I’ve seen in house wives, but it can also denote a career in health care or any of the “caring” vocations. Nursing, dietetics, nutrition, gerontology, Child Life, child day care workers, or even a professor of some kind of child development class. This might also indicate a career in which is dominated by women, even if you’re a guy. Perhaps a man with this placement might want to be a nurse or dietitian, or even stay at home with the kids. You want your destiny or career to be about helping people, whether it’s strangers or your own family. This is strengthened when your Moon makes an aspect to the MC.

Mercury in the 10H: Your self-image, public image, career should be associated with Mercury: writing, speech, publication, teaching, research, journalism, etc. Basically, whatever you CHOOSE to do for a living will deal with communication. Yes, every job ( even if you’re a solitary scientist who does experiments on your own ) requires communication, but yours even more so. This is a strong indication of someone who is a writer and might even become published, or a journalist. Even a teacher. Communication is BIG in the teaching field. You feel comfortable in a job that requires analysis, details and writing. Basically, what you do is what you know. :-) 

Venus in the 10H: This can indicate a glamorous life o f a model, but again, just because you have this placement does not mean you will be one. Venus is all about beauty and when I think of “beauty” a vast array of occupations come to mind: fashion merchandiser or designer, interior designer, hair dresser, cosmetologist, photographer, artist, etc. You make your public statement through beauty or working in the beauty ( or art, or anything related to Venus ) industry. If Mercury is conj the MC or in aspect to your Venus, there might be an indication to be a gossip columnist or write for a celebrity magazine, or a beauty magazine.

Jupiter in the 10H: Jupiter represents expansion. And this can mean many things. You perhaps are interested in a career with travel. ( Air line hostess or working for an air company, or being a travel agent, or whatever ). Your job might take you long distances, or at least you want a job like that. International business might be an interest of a career for you. You like to make your public image be optimistic, philosophical, worldly, fun, and educated. Again, this might even indicate a career as being a professor, a mentor of some kind. “Good fortune towards a career”. Yes, as long as you don’t screw it up.

Saturn in the 10H: This does NOT make it difficult for you to have a career. If you let Saturn restrict you in this area, it WILL. Now this can mean that you are a hard worker and willing to climb on the social ladder. Discipline and focus are a must. Authority people/s like you and you may give a good, responsible example of someone with whom they want to hire. This is a good position to be a scientist, working alone in a lab. You prefer to work alone, not with other people. Having a career in retail won’t suit you very well, but we always work in places we don’t want to for money. Again, Saturn can add doubt. You might doubt your capabilities at some point in life and yes, that will restrict you. But once you know that the only thing keeping you back is you, you can go far in life.

Uranus in the 10H: Authority figures might sense you are unstable. You may or may not be, but a 9 to 5 job is so not for you. You like the freedom to do what you want in a career. Perhaps you want an independent career, starting your own business. Innovation and creation are highlighted here. If you feel stuck in a job, you feel stuck, and you desperately want a way out of it. Like Saturn, this is a good placement for science or anything that requires thinking outside the box. If there are aspects to the Moon, you might want to work for a food industry, creating new foods that are desirable to consumers.I read this is a good placement for an astrologer, too. If you have this placement and love astrology, then this is all good for you.

Neptune in the 10H: You might feel confused about your direction in life and what you want to do. Your public image might be vague, because you jump around from job to job, or career to career. In this case, you might be seen as unreliable, which is not cool. There might be some self-doubts or self-esteem issues here, too. If you are confused about what you want, do some introspection. Figure out what you’re good and what you’re not so good at. It’s good to try different things, or ‘feel’ your way around certain careers. This is an indication of fame ( now don’t get your hopes up, haha ), social work, helping profession, charity work, or perhaps a job you have is working around water, or anything related to water. Neptune has haute culture and low culture. You want to be the “good” side of Neptune.

Pluto in the 10H: Girl, this does not mean you’re going to be a dictator, but I’m sure some of them had this placement. I noticed that a lot of politicians and world leaders have Pluto here. Pluto is a space object ( I don’t want to use planet, because it’s not a planet anymore ) that is associated with power ( both good and bad ). This is definitely a powerful and influential placement, and it’s wise to use it well. Whichever path you choose in life, you will be seen as influential and people will look up to you. Your career can be transformative to you. In your life, you might have completely switched careers all together.
