In astrology, the 10th house is typically representative of one’s career and reputation. The sign, the planets in the 10th house, lord of the 10th and the aspects it makes, influences the right career path that is of ease to you. It works in relation to your MC, even if your MC is not in the 10th house. While one typically has free will over one’s career path, you may find ease or more fulfilment in the one that works in your favour by looking at your chart.
Many also forget that the 6th and 2nd house are equally important, as the 6th is about your day to day routines and coworkers/subordinates, while the 2nd is about your wealth/lifestyle and finances. Furthermore, understanding the whole chart would greatly affect one’s understanding of the native’s character and how the native functions, especially with the Big 3. These will also have an impact on the type of career one should be in.
On a very basic level, just by looking at what sign your 10th house is in, here’s a brief foundation of 10th house in:
Aries
Taking charge of your own time/projects/action. Not being told what to do or when to do it, leader of some sort, pioneering something.
Taurus
Preferably slow paced, doing things at your own time/will, or one where you can craft beauty.
Gemini
Communicating messages to others, able to collect all sorts of information that will help your job.
Cancer
Allowing you to nurture others or help others grow emotionally or feel emotionally comforted. Or operate intuitively and make some change in another.
Leo
To express yourself freely and be appreciated for it. Or to feel like a child, or treated as ‘royalty’. One where you can get people’s attention.
Virgo
Controlling situations, analyzing, managing, planning. One where you can focus on details, more than overarching themes.
Libra
A job that allows you to connect with a lot of different people, or be the mediary between others. Could also involve the arts or beauty.
Scorpio
A job that allows you to read between the lines, dig deeper than superficial or surface level situations. Working with human psyche or emotions.
Sagittarius
A job that gives you the freedom to explore and learn about things outside of what you may only learn in one industry.
Capricorn
A job that is stable, allows you to move from junior to senior and work your way up. Or build something from from the ground up.
Aquarius
A job that does not conform with what society expects of you. Something that will make you stand apart from the rest and yet still being a part of society.
Pisces
A job that allows you to explore the mysteries of the world, or to be creative and artistic in. Or working with the spiritual realm.
There are times when your MC is not in your 10th house. Both will work in tandem with one another and you should look at mainly your MC sign first, it’s ruler, and then bring in the 10th house qualities. This is of course when we’re only looking at the 10th house and MC, without taking into account the signs/houses/planets and the birth chart as whole, all of which are key factors needed to fully deciphering your ideal career path.
