10th house

The 10th house: career, reputation, authority. In Western astrology it is one of the four angular houses, the strongest and most outward-facing places in a chart, and its natural sign is Capricorn. In Vedic astrology houses are called bhavas, and the 10th bhava is career, status, and action in the world: a kendra (angle), a pillar of the chart and an upachaya, a house that improves with time and effort.
