Mars in House 10

Mars represents your energy, your desire and the courage to act. House 10 is the house of your place in the world: your career, your calling, honours and reputation. It's the very top of the chart — what you're recognised for in public.

In the tenth house — of profession, honours, fame, and public destiny —, Mars finds an angle, where it expresses itself in full, and gives public life an active and combative cast. It inclines toward careers of action and risk — arms, surgery, metalwork, engineering, sport, command — and toward a bold ambition that rises by courage, by initiative, and by force; the native imposes himself and is noticed, but the same impetuosity threatens conflicts, enmities at the top, and falls through rashness. Dignified in its sign, it gives eminence won with bravery and a name feared and respected; afflicted, it stains the reputation with violence or dispute and makes honours be lost as swiftly as they were gained.
