Astrology and Career: Libra on the Cusp of 10th House

The 10th house in astrology represents one's career, achievements, awards and aspirations for success in the external world.

To evaluate the 10th house in a specific natal chart, consider:

1. The sign on the cusp of the 10th house.

2. The ruler of the Midheaven (sign, house, aspects).

3. Planets in the 10th house (their direct significations and aspects).

4. Co-ruler of the 10th house, if applicable (sign, house, aspects).

This article will discuss what it means if you have Libra on the cusp of the 10th house.

Tip #1 - Ambitions

Ambitions run high for Libras in the Midheaven, which is unsurprising considering Venus governs them and Saturn exalts in their sign. However, they don't aim to gain status independently (a priority more for Aries); instead, especially males with Libra in the Midheaven, they may prefer to achieve status through marriage or partnerships while remaining fully capable of attaining it autonomously if necessary. Libras tend to share responsibility for crucial life decisions, including career choices or business strategies.

They are among the most socially-oriented signs, aspiring to attain elevated status and social acceptance, although they can compete subtly and assert their rights without resorting to aggression, instilled with competitive traits from Aries on the cusp of their fourth house.

Regarding their fields of activity, individuals aren't confined to a single profession for life; they can change jobs as many times as desired, all falling under the jurisdiction of their 10th house. Additionally, the 10th house can represent both the actual profession and the workplace environment, exemplified by being a salesperson yet dealing with high-end merchandise, which would suffice for status.

Tip #2 - Successful Career Paths

1. Art historians, critics, and all those involved in the arts gather here, including those who evaluate it.

2. Beauty, in its practical aspect, is embodied by stylists, makeup artists, talented hairdressers, and image-makers. Plastic surgeons, cosmetologists, fashion designers, and specialists in adornments contribute to its manifestation.

3. Sale and production of fabrics, cosmetics, clothing, jewelry, and so forth.

4. Beauty, in its expression, resonates through presenters, models, mannequins, and others in the creative sphere.

5. Actresses, especially those whose main role is epitomized by beauty.

6. Also, everything that serves beauty – all those who manufacture cosmetics/fabrics/clothing, transport them, insure them, or evaluate art objects, and so forth.

7. Certainly, dancers, choreographers, creators of beautiful shows, and owners (managers, creative directors) of elite clubs are part of this spectrum.

8. Entire industries, tailored for women, encompass female psychologists, coaches, makeup artists, fashion magazines and others.

9. Appraisers – whether banking or individuals evaluating art objects – play a crucial role in determining the value of beauty.

10. Negotiators, diplomats, and the like – they can uphold the essence while conceding details.

11. Jurisprudence in its entirety – is a direct significance (together with Sagittarius).

12. In medicine, under Libra, we find urologists, endocrinologists, and plastic surgeons.

13. Everything about the elite, but without pomposity – with refined taste and sharply defined social boundaries.

Through partnership and communication, your path to success will be shorter. Importantly, cooperation must be mutually beneficial.

Tip #3 - Strategies for Thriving in Society

• Pay attention to reputation, as it is the reflection of your character and integrity, influencing opportunities and perceptions in all aspects of life. Nurture it wisely, for a strong reputation opens doors while a tarnished one can close them, impacting relationships and success.

• Cultivate diplomatic skills. Avoid conflict situations. Once specific agreements are reached, be sure to adhere to them.

• Always care about your image. Pay attention to your appearance and style. Both you and your workplace should be neat and well-groomed.

• Collaborate and work in teams. Playing solo won't suffice.

• Make important decisions cautiously. Embrace uncertainty. Strive to develop a decision-making strategy and do so thoughtfully and fairly, considering all aspects.

• Don't forget about balance and harmony in every aspect - in relationships, in deadlines, and in the quality of work. Learn to listen to those around you and effectively communicate information. Evaluate people, projects, initiatives, and situations impartially. Avoid extremes.
  

Tip #4 - Portrait of a Typical Boss

The 10th house also describes the collective image of authority figures in our lives. It enables us to discern which traits in our managers we'll appreciate overall and, in negative scenarios, what will challenge us. If we become bosses ourselves, these characteristics will define us in that role.

Ideally, they are delicate yet internally firm, beautiful, and respectful. They may possess good taste and manners, addressing everyone formally and by their full names. They celebrate holidays by rewarding gifts in elegant packaging and never forget the birthdays of their employees.

In a negative light, they might remain beautiful and tasteful but become snobbish, still addressing you formally but with a distinctly Libran gaze, as if you were an empty space, albeit with your full name. Everything will be top-notch, from the office to the furniture and beyond, but only for the boss; the rest will make do.

Typically, whether in good or bad circumstances, the boss won't be a fan of corporate events. However, in the former case, they will likely organise them but won't attend, while in the latter, they probably won't have them at all.

In this article, we explored the placement of Libra on the cusp of the 10th house. While the ruler of the house sets the overall tone for events related to this theme, aspects to the ruler, its dispositor, planets in the house, and second ruler (if any) can significantly complement or alter the picture. If you find that this portrayal doesn't entirely align with your experience, consider booking a consultation for a thorough analysis of your 10th house.
