Mars in the 10th house
Mars in the 10th house aims high. Ambitious, driven and made for leadership, you put your fire into your career and want to be known for what you achieve.
You knew what you were aiming for in your career before anyone else knew you were aiming at all.
Your tenth house is the house of career, standing and public life, and Mars, your drive and courage, was in it when you were born. Your drive goes to the top of the chart. You want to achieve, and to be seen achieving.
Built to lead
You work hard, take charge and push for results. Leading teams, starting businesses, sport: any field that rewards nerve suits you. You rise because you will not stop.
You were competitive at school, competitive at your first job, and competitive in a good way now: the colleague who sets the pace. Bosses learn early that you want the hard assignment, and they give it to you.
Public courage
You take on public challenges and rivals without flinching. Your reputation rests on what you have done, and you defend it fiercely.
Conflict at the top
The risk is clashing with authority, or becoming the authority others clash with. Ambition can become a fight with everyone between you and the goal.
Make one ally of someone you have been treating as a rival.
The record
Long after you have moved on, people in your field still talk about what you built and how fast you built it.
