House #10

Earth's atmosphere is divided into 12 sections called "Houses." These "Houses" represent a separate area and specific function in our lives. Every birth chart consists of these 12 "Houses," However, the order of the layout depends on the exact time of birth. As the planets orbit, they create aspects to these sections (Houses) in the atmosphere. Their energy effects each individual differently, depending on the aspects that were apparent at your time of birth.

Capricorn is the natural ruler of the tenth "House" in the Zodiac. This is the "House of Career and Public Standing." This "House" shares certain qualities with Capricorn, even when occupied by a different sign. The tenth "House" relates to all matters outside the home - your profession, status in the community, and public reputation. This "House" governs ambition, aspiration, and attainment. The tenth "House" reveals the way other people see you. It reflects your image of power, position, and honors that you acquire. This is "graduation," the place you arrive at through your own efforts.

"In astrology, Saturn is associated with restriction and limitation. Where Jupiter expands, Saturn constricts. Although the themes of Saturn seem depressing, Saturn brings structure and meaning to our world. Saturn knows the limits of time and matter. Saturn reminds us of our boundaries, our responsibilities, and our commitments. It brings definition to our lives. Saturn makes us aware of the need for self-control and of boundaries and our limits." ["Saturn"][2002-2018] Retrieved from [https://cafeastrology.com/saturn]
