TENTH
HOUSE MARS
The
House of Public Standing - The field of worldly attainment
What
the world remembers a person for. Positions of authority, honor, and prestige.
Fame. Profession or career. The father. Affairs of state. Large-scale organizations.
Mars in
the tenth house provides socially approved outlets for aggressive energy and
instills the ambition to mount to the upper rungs of the occupational ladder.
They can project their personal feelings and ideas with sufficient force to
produce demonstrable results. The eagerness to show the world what they can do
usually overrides obstacles to achievement.
Active
occupations are preferred to desk jobs. There may be an inclination to join
the military services and to undertake work demanding strength and stamina as
well as personal leadership.
Sometimes
professional responsibilities become so demanding that there is danger of
physical strain.
This
placing will make the individual a force to be reckoned with in their career
and professional life. The ability to work hard and to achieve objectives will
be extremely important, and the possibility of success high.
There
should be emotional involvement in the career, and a sense of urgency as to
its progress will be inherent, though the subject may sometimes have to slow
down a little and be patient, since overhasty decisions and a lack of
tolerance with slower colleagues can cause problems.
A
tendency to argue and to be quarrelsome may be present, Nevertheless, at its
best, Mars contributes considerable enthusiasm for worldly progress, and there
will be a great deal of ambition and high aspirations present.
The
tenth house has a certain connection with the father, and the individual may
have viewed him as strong and perhaps someone who exerted an over-assertive
influence. As a result, there may be inner anger that can be given expression
in the form of rebellious behavior against society, particularly during the
teenage years.
