Oversimplification is a chronic danger in astrology, but also a chronic temptation, however, I am succumbing to the lure. My love for this particular house dictates that I make this clear: this list is emphatically not any kind of final or total word on the 10th house. It does address one aspect of the 10th house which particularly fascinates me now: power/control. It occurs to me that the 10 in all astrological forms (Saturn, Capricorn, tenth house) ought to indicate (among other things) our “control style.” That is: where we seek a sense of power, what we depend on to give us stability and predictability in the world, the tool through which we hope to manage an unruly reality.
MARS: Assertive power, self-power, power through vitality.
“I feel in control when I act.”
VENUS: Pleasure power, power over things, control through charm.
