Astrological Houses: The Tenth House in Brief

The Tenth House is at the top of the horoscope. Since the Tenth House is opposite the Fourth House, the basic meaning of the Tenth House could be summed up as Where you are going. The Tenth House rules the career. The opposite of the Fourth House’s security of the home and hearth, the Tenth House indicates Fame and honor within the general public. The two houses are not exactly opposite in meaning. Instead, with their concern for the external part of our lives, they’re rather like two sides of the same coin.

 

The Fourth House is like the mother, encouraging security and nurturing. The Tenth House, however, is more the father, stern and insisting that you make your way in the world. You are encouraged to take the security of the Fourth House and go out into the world, taking chances and putting yourself out there. These two connected houses are really like two parents, each encouraging you towards a single goal — preparing the child for an independent and fulfilling life. Please note that these mother and father archetypes are just that — archetypes. Not all women fit the role of nurturer and not all men are stern. They’re archetypes, not stereotypes.

 

The Tenth House is ruled by the planet Saturn and the sign of Capricorn.

Astrological Houses: The Fourth House in Brief

The Fourth House is at the bottom of the horoscope. The sign and planets associated with the Fourth House tend to be concerned with our experience of the concept of our basic foundation, our support structure on earth, and how we feel about security in general.

 

Farming and real estate are usually connected to this idea and with good reason. But by applying the concepts of the foundation and support structure to other areas of our lives, we quickly come to realize that our home, our close family, and especially our mothers contribute significantly to our experience of support. We should also make an effort to understand that our past is our foundation. If these factors are disturbed or are completely unreliable or even absent during childhood, most psychologists would agree that it is difficult and sometimes impossible to compensate for the feeling of insecurity that might result.

 

So, taking all this into account, the basic meaning of the Fourth House could be described as “Where you are coming from.” Its importance is so great and so universal that it requires very little explanation. It should be noted that the Fourth House is ruled by the Moon and by the astrological sign of Cancer.

Weekly Astrological Horoscope: September 15th to September 21st 2012

Aries

This is a week to focus on your career. Something is happening at work that you don't want to miss out on, so be prepared to put in a few long hours of overtime. Because you'll be so focused, you might forget to get out and have some fun, so when a friend or acquaintance invites you out for the evening, accept and go enjoy yourself.

Taurus

Be prepared, but not for something awful. Instead, something good and perhaps even wonderful is heading your way, so keep your eyes open. You won't get any real warning, but that's okay. This good news probably focuses on family, so expect an announcement of some kind. This announcement may inspire a celebration, so put your party hat on.

Gemini

Communication is the theme of this week for you, Gemini. You might hear from an old friend, make new friends, or get an e-mail or text message that might change your life (or at least a small part of it). Watch for a new and unexpected message.

Cancer

You have a sharp mind, and many great ideas flow through this mind, but you tend to hide it behind your intense and vibrant feelings. Now, however, you want your impressive and unique thoughts to be heard, so put aside your feelings and learn or embrace the skills you'll need to do this.

Leo

Don't let your feathers get ruffled as this week unfolds, Leo. Things may seem a little tense, but you have options. A great many options, in fact. Take a few deep breaths and try to use reason and logic to sort things out. Your legendary temper won't get you very far.

Virgo

Don't let the opinions of others get to you. Let inspiration take you and express your natural abilities. Your inner light and confidence can guide you to something magnificent if you only follow your instincts. But someone in your life is jealous and trying to keep you from success. Don't let them succeed.

Libra

You ability to fret knows no bounds this week, so try to rein yourself in. You'll get a bit of news that may seem dire, but hold off. Don't let yourself overreact or jump to conclusions. There's a further bit of information that you need before you do anything. Be patient.

Scorpio

Temper, temper, Scorpio. Settle down and think about what you're doing. Is it really going to get you what you want? Or are you simply venting your anger? If you want to get ahead, you'll have to reach out a hand, and this is difficult to do if you're fuming.

Sagittarius

Try not to let your mind and wits be scattered about this week, Sagittarius. Keep yourself focused and single-minded as you tackle one thing at a time. Dividing your attention will only allow something important to slip through your fingers. Ask for help if you need it.

Capricorn

Your desire for change may cause a few problems this week. You might be tempted to take off on an extended vacation or make some changes at home. Don't abandon your responsibilities, and consult your family before you make any drastic changes. Otherwise, indulge this desire for a little while.

Aquarius

Spice up your personal life if you can just to avoid boredom. But in your professional life keep a cooler head. Situations at work are not quite as they seem, so look beneath the surface for truth. Then use this truth to benefit you and your ambitions.

Pisces

Arguments may crop up with disturbing frequency this week, Pisces. Take the time to calm everyone down and get to the root of the problem. Listen to what others have to say with a cautious ear. If you're stuck in a position where you have to spend some of your hard-earned money, consider other options.

Weekly Astrological Horoscope: September 8th to September 14th 2012

Aries

The sluggish feeling of the past little while will begin to fade away this week, but you'll have to work at finding your motivation again. Worry can hold you back and keep you from achieving something great. But this thing that holds you back is a temporary thing, so get ready to move forward.

Taurus

Communication of all kinds is going to be difficult this week, Taurus. You'll find yourself misunderstood even when your intentions are nothing but honorable. Try to speak with your actions rather than your words if you want to get through this week without any real incidents.

Gemini

If you're looking to improve life at home, this is the time to do so. But don't sink money into any projects right now. You might want to spend some time with your loved ones or organize your home, perhaps even establishing a home office, but leave the money out of it if you can. If you do put money into an endeavor this week, be prepared to be disappointed.

Cancer

Things really start to move for you in a positive way, Cancer. Your position in life can be greatly improved, but watch out. Someone is deliberately misunderstanding your intentions and your words while trying to thwart you. Keep your mind clear and don't strike back and things will eventually get back on track.

Leo

Financial confusions fade away as your prospects brighten. But beware of clinging to the past. Those in the present won't appreciate it and you can't look backward and forward at the same time. While you're indulging your nostalgia, an important opportunity could be missed.

Virgo

If you've been wandering off into your daydreams lately, now is the time to come back to reality. It's time to seek a purpose and get things back on track. Your energy is high enough to accomplish many things, but make sure you take some time to socialize and have fun or you'll quickly burn out.

Libra

Things may seem to have come to a standstill, both professionally and personally, but don't be fooled. Things are moving, but slowly and discretely. Patience is the key, so go on about your life and keep your eyes peeled. You'll soon have to reach out and grab the opportunity that's about to jump out at you.

Scorpio

Thanks to the influence of both Mars and Pluto, this is the week to plan your future. Sit down and consider what you really want, not just tomorrow but in the distant future. Plans put into action right now, even if they're long term plans, have a greater chance of actually coming to fruition, so take advantage.

Sagittarius

You'll be tempted to spend money you don't have or invent in something that will not pay off. Hold on to your pocketbook until your financial situation improves. Wanting a better lifestyle is fine, but sacrificing what you can't afford to lose in the hopes of gaining something more won't pay off right now.

Capricorn

You may find yourself craving more excitement this week, Capricorn. Socially, this might work for you, but keep your professional life steady and strong by staying the course. At home, not everyone may appreciate your new desires, so take things slow.

Aquarius

Tensions ease as Venus becomes a little more kind to you. But, unfortunately, Venus can't help you with the sense that you're giving more than you're receiving. Frustrations mount as you search for a solution to this problem. In the end, letting go of the old and embracing the new may be the only way to cast off your exasperation.

Pisces

Relationships are the thing this week, Pisces, and not only romantic ones. Business and personal relationships will all start to change this week, but you get to determine whether these changes will be positive or negative. Keep the lines of communication open and don't jump to any conclusions. Everything is not as it seems.
