Overview
In astrology, there is more to learn than solely about the signs and planets. Another key component to an individual’s natal astrology chart is about the astrological houses. The houses reveal where we may have certain experiences or when we can expect something to take place. In this post, however, we’re going to dive specifically into the tenth house of careers and reputations!
The Tenth House
Unlike signs and planets, houses regard events and circumstances in which we tend to have certain types of experiences. The experiences we may have depends on the house and its associations. Any astrological connections to the tenth house indicate things which are mainly surrounding how the public views us.
More specifically, the tenth house involves our career path. This is the house that points to small talk in which someone asks us, “So, what do you do for a living?” In turn, the tenth house is connected to the external world and the perception that the public has of us.
Capricorn House
The Third House is also known as the Capricorn House. Essentially, all this means is that the characteristics commonly associated to the hard-working, oftentimes, over-achieving Capricorn, can also be attributed to the house. However, this is through our experiences rather than within our personality.
Therefore, the tenth house is where we most likely put in a lot of time, effort, and dedication to achieve our goals. Capricorn can often have a tendency to climb social ladders toward the road to success, sometimes prioritizing this over all else. Likewise, this is the zodiac sign that mostly work and little play, carrying a heavy load of responsibilities.
10th House Location
In this image is the astrological wheel. Within it, you’ll find the twelve zodiac signs, the ten planets, the points, and the twelve houses. On the top, left side of the wheel, under Capricorn and the number 10 is where you’ll find the tenth house.
Naturally, Capricorn rules the tenth house. However, for many of us, we have a different sign ruling our personal tenth house. We may also have or may not have planets in the house that influence this placement. Likewise, any aspects to the tenth house may impact it as well.
Everything, from the line separating Sagittarius and Capricorn to the opposite line that divides Capricorn and Aquarius is within the tenth house. Therefore, the symbol for Saturn, (♄), resides in this house for the current example. So, whenever you’re looking at your personal astrology chart, this is how you determine what’s in your tenth house.

10th House Planets
Depending on which planets are in each individual’s tenth house will indicate their public reputation, their career choices, and their level of determination regarding desired achievements. Malefic planets in this house could, unfortunately, point to struggle in career fields or being a victim of slander. Meanwhile, having multiple planets in the tenth house may be indicative of someone who is highly focused on making their dreams come true. The downside to this is that they may have a tendency to be a workaholic.
Those with no planets in their tenth house shouldn’t be concerned that they will never have a career. When this is the case, it is always good to look at the house that rules the personal house. Likewise, it is generally useful to check to see if there are any aspects made to the tenth house as well.
