Tenth House Astrology

The Mid heaven or southern angle, the cusp or line of which is touched by the Sun at midday during noontime everyday at all the places on Earth, is known as the 10th House or Medium Coeli. This is why it is known as the principal or supreme angle of the heaven, according to heavenly calculations. The 10th House is an important feature as all the arcs of the directions to the angles are calculated from the Right Ascension of the Mid heavens. The astrological predictions make it the most important aspects related to the all arcs of directions. It is the most important aspect as it is related to matters like fame, name, recognition and honor.

Western as well as Hindu astrologers maintain that planets are powerful when they occupy any house between 1 and 4 or 7 and 10. The four houses are called Kendra or angular houses in the horoscope and considered having great yield. The planets which occupy any of the houses said to rule power, of doing what they indicate by nature and by lordship. The Houses 2, 5, 8 and 11 are known as succeeding or panaphara houses and these planets are not powerful enough like the Kendra or angular houses, but have moderate strength.

The 3rd, 6th, 9th and 12th houses have the weakest influence – known as the apoklima or cadent houses. For example, a person may lack suitable opportunities, depending on their merit or skills. The angular, succeeding and cadent houses correspond to fixed, mutable and common signs of the zodiac according to their power and influence.

Effects of the 10th House

The 10th House is the House of Lordship, dignity and esteem. It is known as the apex of the horoscope, as it indicates man’s earthly achievements that are attained through name, fame, power, credit, success, conduct, status, rank, repute, authority and ambition. The standing of a person in his professional life and society should be determined in terms of his material responsibilities, and his contacts in the higher circles.

The principal influence on the 10th House is occupation, or business, although the 10th House is not the sole indicator of these aspects, but includes the 2nd and 6th Houses – the Material Trinity – which represent material gains. Hence, in everyday life, we often come across people who pursue ends or vocations that they do not have the aptitude or qualifications for. Others swap careers often, while there are people who carry out several activities simultaneously.

? In maximum cases, people choose their vocations not because of liking, but for financial profits. Hence, the 10th House represents Pravritti, representing respect for improvement.

? The 6th House represents service, routine, monotony and drudgery that a person is forced to continue whether he likes it or not.

? The 2nd House indicates the consequences of self-acquisition, which is monetary advantage through labor.
