The 10th House picks up where the 9th House left off. The 10th brings a feeling of grounding as it looks at your career, prestige, and recognition.
The 10th describes how you want others to think of you – whether it's your boss and coworkers, distant relatives, or complete strangers. It describes how you behave in public and how you dress.
This astrology house and the planets in it describe how ambitious you are. Do you enjoy the spotlight? How do you want to be remembered after your death? How important are fame, awards, and recognition to you?
Sometimes it can take an entire lifetime to achieve the potential the 10th House describes for you. Sometimes it takes even longer as the 10th delves into how you will be perceived in this life and beyond.
Finally, the 10th House looks at your relationship with your mother and how that relationship shapes you and your behavior in life. A strong, supportive relationship might leave you feeling invincible, while a pushy mother with high expectations might leave you feeling like you have something to prove.
