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, of honours, of fame, and of public destiny — Mars finds an angle, the midheaven, and upon it he acts in full force, with all the accidental dignity the highest point confers. A regal house, among the strongest and most visible, where all is shown to the world; the heat of Mars rises here to the summit of public life. Determined to the profession, he inclines to the trades of Mars — arms, surgery, iron, command, every calling of strength and risk. It tends to the ambition that climbs by main strength, to command exercised with a hard hand, to honour won in open struggle. It gives a spirit of leadership, a will to rise and to prevail in the sight of all. But a house of rising is also one of falling, and what climbs by iron may come down wounded. The force here shines on high. What shape that brightness takes is told by the sign that lodges it.
