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.
