Welcome to the tenth house! In the horoscope wheel, this House is located opposite the Fourth House, which, as you may recall, controls the house and family. As its opposite, the tenth house governs the career and social image of a person. Work and career, your reputation and social status - all this is here. It shows how much you value society, your image, recognition in the form of honors or achievements in life, as well as your approach to responsibility. In addition, while the sixth house determines the work that you do and the flow of your income, the tenth house is more concerned with the work of your whole life and the legacy that you leave as a result.
Natal charting
In order to understand which planet is in your 10th house, you can use any of the many free natal charting applications available on the Internet. If you are the happy owner of Mars in the 10th house, then you should read this article to the end. In it you will learn what this arrangement of the Red Planet speaks of, as well as what should be taken into account. The advice of astrologers will be very useful to you in life.
Without making a natal chart, you will not be able to find out either your location of Mars, or the location of any other planets. Free services on the Internet in this regard are much better than expensive astrologers.
If Internet services do not suit you, you can try to make a natal chart yourself. First of all, it is necessary to calculate the position of certain planets, including the Moon and the Sun, in a specific period of time, in which you were born. For such an unusual goal, you will have to independently determine the ecliptic longitude of each celestial body on the coordinate plane. The ecliptic is a circle divided into 12 separate parts (30 ° each), each of which represents one of the 12 signs of the zodiac. It is by this longitude that it is usually determined in which sign this or that planet will be. For example, if at the time of your birth, Mars was located at 45 ° ecliptic longitude, then we say that at that moment it was in the sign of Aquarius. In this way, the location of all celestial bodies and even houses is calculated, including the 10th house, which will be discussed a lot in this article.
Mars - ruler of the 10th house
So, the threshold of the tenth house by Western astrologers is known as Midheaven. Midheaven reveals your public persona, and at the same time, how you manage your internal power. Since it is ruled by an earthy, reliable Capricorn, the Tenth House also embraces materialism and what you achieve through your own hard work and labor. In addition, if you are an expert in a certain field, then the tenth house will tell us in which field, as well as about professions for which you are well suited. It is important to note that particular attention should be paid to any aspect of this home, as they are the strongest indicators that indicate your possible career.
Money and power
Professional roles and their fulfillment, career and honor are just some of the subjects that the 10th house manages in life. In addition, it provides information about the government, and thus it depicts everything related to public services. In general, both people and organizations that have power over a person, and the way he controls others, are shown in this heavenly area of the natal chart. The presence of Mars in the 10th house gives a life oriented to personal success and achievements in his career. Nevertheless, in no case does it give success on its own. Mars as a personal planet shows the direction in which efforts are made. It is aspects with other planets that show whether a person will succeed, or whether efforts will be mostly futile.
The power of generations
An important role is played by the state of the generation planets (Uranus, Neptune, Pluto) and their aspects on Mars, since they open the gates for the successful recognition of the masses. Mars / Venus in the 10th house forces the native to fight for respect throughout his life. This, along with the combat characteristics of the planet, can help someone choose a military career. If Mars is not well-aspected, this can lead to disputes with other military personnel and unhealthy competition. You need to be very careful not to engage in backstage activities in your workplace, as there is a high probability that you will be opened and covered with shame.
The vulnerable careerist
On the other hand, the raw energy that the planet exerts on the 10th house gives enthusiasm to the whole family, strengthening its will to fulfill its goals. Mars in a woman’s 10th house can bring a courageous approach to career issues, making her more powerful than the men in her environment in promoting ideas and making decisions. A person needs to do everything in his own way, feeling a strong sense of success when his ideas are realized. On the other hand, failure for him is a sharp knife that will inflict great pain on him. Failures can trigger aggression as a response. This forces individuals to give up their profession if honor is at stake.
Physical strength
Since Mars controls physical strength, athletics as a profession is strongly associated with it. Mars is also the ruler of all professions related to uniforms, so he is responsible for a career in police and medicine. We must not forget that knives, sharp tools, and in general everything related to metal, their use and their transformation, are under the influence of the Red Planet. For example, many prominent surgeons have Mars in the 10th house in Cancer. Having a Scorpio on the doorstep of the house or the adverse aspects from Pluto to Mars can give rise to a person who actually enjoys using knives, even hurt others. This does not mean that he would not be a good professional. Negative aspects show conflicts and emotional problems.
Ethical nuances
Mars located in Taurus or Libra is an indicator of moral licentiousness, and natives with such an arrangement should focus on observing and improving their professional ethics. It is sometimes wiser to work alone, rather than in a group, to avoid conflict and aggression. Another picture that is often observed is that placement can bring success in fairly young years, which is really characteristic of a career in the army or sport. The negative impact that Mars often has is the lack of reliable human relationships with people, mainly because the native himself is trying to dominate his environment and is prone to competition. The most problematic can be squares, oppositions, and alliances with Saturn, Uranus, or Pluto. People with such placements can have problems with their bosses, suffer from their aggression and dangerous behavior, and also use various methods to reduce their anger and send it to another place.
Astrologer Tips
Strengthening difficult natal positions with the treatment of their violent outbreaks, you can harmonize all the problems of the Sun and Mars in the 10th house, as well as heal the remnants of conflicts with your parents. In sports, this position can mean an athlete who is not a team player, because it is not accepted as it should, even if he is better than the members of his team in physical terms. The necessary lesson is to understand that if he does not coordinate his activities with the rest of the team, great difficulties can arise, which will lead to a lack of balance in other areas of his life. A person has a strong desire to show his body and physical abilities and be careful not to overdo it. On the other hand, Mars in the 10th house really gives good characteristics of the body, especially when the ascendant falls on Aries. And a person born with this situation needs to play sports as actively as possible - this is his vocation.

Under no circumstances will such a person physically offend his family members. If he manages to push his aggressiveness towards constructive action, the reward from life will be very generous.

Although you are very good at your job, you tend to have problems working in a group if you are not a leader. You do not want to be anywhere else and do not understand that you need to work on top.

Family values
Family as a phenomenon is extremely important to you, so you invest so much energy in your career from the very beginning. You want to create a stable home environment for yourself and your loved ones. This is why you tend to put off relationships until you are financially secure enough to support other people.
You consider your personal life as serious as your working life, and, as a rule, you demand first of all loyalty. You are looking for serious love and rarely exchange for little things, and you offer the same return in return. Although you are not often quick-tempered, disorganized, or spontaneous, you are responsible and reliably protect your loved ones at all costs.
Mars in Leo’s 10th house in astrology predicts that when others try to bother you or even suggest a small change, you ignore them and continue on your way. While your bosses recognize you as the person who does the best work, your colleagues can only see you as a cold, calculating careerist.
Although your social skills are not always on top, you are never mistaken in your actions or intentions. It takes a lot of time for people to see under the constrained and cold appearance of that kind and caring person that you are.
