ALMUTEMMercury in House 10
Mercury represents the way you think, speak and learn. 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 —, Mercury finds an angle, where it expresses itself in full, and gives public life the cast of ingenuity and the word. It inclines toward careers of intelligence and dealing — writing, commerce, science, teaching, law, administration, mediation — and toward a reputation as a deft, clever, and eloquent person; the native rises by talent, versatility, and the ease of communicating and negotiating. Dignified in its sign, it gives a name won by intelligence and skill and success in trades of the mind; afflicted, it stains the reputation with deceptions, imprudent words, or ill-famed dealings, and makes the position unstable at the mercy of circumstance.
