Saturn in the 10th House

Saturn in the 10th house indicates a strong sense of career, ambition and a drive to achieve status, especially after the age of 29. This placement gives farsighted organizational and managerial abilities and therefore supports careers in business and politics. A well aspected Saturn shows that moral integrity and hard work result in the attainment of authority, high position, wealth and leadership. With an afflicted Saturn, the tendency to compromise principles for the sake of ambition eventually leads to reversals in fortune, public disgrace and a fall from a high position. You must exercise extreme caution concerning motives and principles, or disgrace and heavy karmic debt may be incurred. Ambition must not be an end in itself but rather a means to serve a larger social order.
