The 10th House and Choosing a Profession
How to read your chart for the kind of work that will actually suit you.
The tenth house describes your public work and standing. Reading it well can save someone years spent in the wrong profession.
Three things to check
First, the sign on the tenth cusp and its natural inclination. Second, the tenth lord — where it sits and how strong it is. Third, any planets placed in the tenth, which colour the work directly.
Reading them together
A tenth lord in the sixth points to service, competition or health-related work. In the eleventh, toward networks and large organisations. In the twelfth, toward foreign work or something behind the scenes. The dasha sequence then tells you when each phase of the career actually opens.
