Mercury 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, of honours, of fame and of public destiny — Mercury finds an angle, the highest of the strong houses, a kingly house where the planet acts in full light, at the midst of the heavens and in the sight of all. Determined to this house, it makes of intelligence the road of the career: the word, the writing, the calculation and the knowing become the office and the name that the world acknowledges. It inclines to a public life won by wit — commerce of weight, letters, administration, the message that runs through many hands. It gives a talent for rising by competence and by eloquence, a knack for the offices that ask for head and speech. It tends to a reputation bound to what one knows and says. As we have not yet revealed whether it is here strong or weakened, it remains to know whether such honours rest upon rock or upon sand.
