The Tenth is the house
of karma, which means
action. It is the main
house for showing our
effect upon the world
generally. As such, it
is often related to
career or vocation.
The Tenth house does
not in itself
determine the career,
for this, the First
house and other
factors are very
important. What it
does show is the
success in career and
the effect of our
actions upon the
world, the status we
are able to achieve in
life.
In this manner, the
Tenth house is a house
of skill, achievement,
honor, recognition,
and prestige. It shows
the position we are
able to attain in life
and the power that
goes with it. It is an
important house for
determining political,
social, or worldly
power. The Tenth house
measures our mark upon
the world. It shows
whether we bring good
or bad karma to it. It
can indicate
pilgrimages and
religious charities
through its good karma
side.
As the highest point
in the chart, planets
here are generally
very strong and can
serve to raise us up
in life. It can give
us the favour of the
government or
established
authorities. It causes
us to want to be
visible, to gain
positions, titles,
respect, and
acknowledgment; hence
it can make us worldly
or politically minded.
Whatever we do will be
noticed. The danger is
that it will make us
too outgoing and
achievement oriented. |
