The 10th House
(career,social status,leadership)
The Tenth House represents the field of experience in which you are challenged to play a meaningful role in your community.
Community -- that's the key to the Tenth House...
How do you fit into your local branch of civilization?... What role do you play there?... You may hear things like: "He's an anesthesiologist"... That's a Tenth House statement... But so is: "She's into the women's movement"... Even though she doesn't make a dime being a feminist, it still says something about the hat she wears in the community... It's the roles we play.
Planetary Teachers in this House do two things for you. They outline your "cosmic job description". That is, they tip you off about the role you were born to play in your community. Unfortunately, they don't do that very well; there are a billion roles and only ten planets, so the descriptions they provide are of necessity rather vague. At best, they're rough guidelines.
Tenth House Teachers do better with their second task.
They point out parts of your own character that need to be developed to a radical degree before your mission coalesces before your eyes. Accept their suggestions, act on them, and you'll leave a lasting stamp of your vision upon the myths and symbols of your community.
