the houses 

261

neptune

  this is a placing indicative 

of a very varied career with quite 
decided changes – possibly within 
various art forms or different 
branches of science.

pluto

  emotional involvement 

with one’s career is essential here. 
a power complex will exert itself – 
especially if pluto is in Leo – perhaps 
fanatically, with the individual being 
obsessionally involved in his or her 
work or with a “message” that 
they wish to convey.

chiron

  this placing encourages 

individuals to be constantly looking 
to the future, and to do things 
differently; originality needs 
to be expressed positively.

Sun

  these individuals 

will be ambitious and 
usually successful, 
with good powers of 
leadership. they will 
carry responsibility well, 
and often have a great 
sense of the dramatic.

Moon

  the potential for 

fame is evident with this 
positioning. It is often 
the case that these 
individuals will be 
responsible for large 
groups of people.

Mercury

  changes of 

direction in life will be 
enjoyed, with possibly 
a variety of jobs or 
professions. as a result, ultimate 
real success may prove elusive.

VenuS

  here is good potential for 

developing rapport and empathy 
with colleagues; a sympathetic 
and understanding, but possibly 
indecisive, boss.

MarS

  energy, enthusiasm, and the 

ability to work hard and aggressively 
are all present, as is a sense of urgency 
for progress. the armed forces could 
be a likely career path.

Jupiter

  success, with fortunate 

“lucky” breaks, will help these 
individuals progress in their 
profession. this placing is 
common among successful actors.

Saturn

  these individuals will 

eventually have to carry considerable 
responsibility, and will do so well 
and loyally. a tendency to distance 
themselves from their employees or 
families in pursuit of, and dedication 
to, their objectives often occurs.

ur anuS

  there is attraction to 

technology here, or to an unusual 
occupation. the airlines and 
space industries offer possible 
occupations, but sudden and 
unexpected changes of direction 
in career are also likely.

midheaven and the equal house system

When using the Equal House System, 
the Midheaven does not always fall in 
the Tenth House of the chart, as it does 
with other house division systems. If you 
have a planet in conjunction with your 
Midheaven, you will find it revealing if 
you read the interpretation for the Tenth 
House; it will have considerable relevance. 
However, do not forget to integrate 
the planet’s original house placing, as 
well as this one, into your interpretation.

tenth house: the house of capricorn and saturn

Acting is a distinct career possibility if Jupiter is placed 
in the Tenth House.
