Guest guest Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 Thank you, Richard, for a great answer. I thought I was perfectly content with it but something's been eating at the back of my brain and still doesn't make sense to me. Forgive me if I'm misunderstanding or just plain stupid here. In your answer to someone about Saturn in the 10th, you talk about "standing" in the 10th with Saturn applying pressure, in essence, on one's head. That got me thinking about the 4th. I thought one "stood" in the 4th. Isn't that the house of one's foundation or solid ground? It makes sense that the 10th is the house of goals being that it is out there in the world, above the horizon, and as the highest point in the chart, the place one reaches farthest towards. But wouldn't one's drive or purpose or conviction or will be an internal thing? Wouldn't you need a strong inner foundation, strength of character or purpose, to continually reach for anything at all, especially against all odds? Wouldn't that come from below the horizon, internally, from the "core" of one's being and therefore the 4th? In the movie Stargate, having the spatial address of a planet you wanted to travel to was useless unless you had the 7th symbol of the planet you were starting from. Reaching point B required having a point A. So wouldn't part of one's success in reaching the goals of the 10th come from drive in the 4th? Originally, I asked if the 10th would also represent one's goals or one's purpose because I know someone with no career but with very strong goals/purpose, etc. It seemed to me that this pointed to weakness in the 10th but strength somewhere else. In your answer, you seemed to say that success in the 10th doesn't have to be success in an established "career". But come to think of it, the person I'm thinking of doesn't really have all that much success achieving their goals. They have tremendous drive, a solid idea of their goals, extreme strength of character and a very strong work ethic. With one thing or another, though, those goals are elusive little devils. This seems to be echoed in the answers of people with Saturn in the 10th who say they work like the dickens but just don't seem to achieve in proportion to their efforts. But this seems to be a slightly different case than that of your friend who has neither a career nor, it would seem, do they "do anything" with their life, to quote you. So how strong or weak is your friend's 4th? Or am I full of doodoo on this whole 4th house "drive/purpose" idea? Second question that has come up in thinking about your recent answers: Is what we do to achieve success in the 10th also represented by the 10th? By 'what we do' I'm also including what we do to get in our own way. Going again to your friend. You mention her Saturn in the 10th and then go on to imply that her use of the Saturnine 'hammer of truth', if you will, on the toes of everyone around her is possibly part of her lack of success. I'm not sure if you mean that she doesn't have a career because of this or that if she did have a career it might be less than completely successful due to this enthusiastic hammering. Or maybe you didn't mean this at all. You mentioned this in an answer to someone else stating that maybe they needed to accept some truths they are not accepting in order to have greater success. Possibly this was the same gentleman who may not be as Venusian as his more business-successful brothers are, I'm not sure, my memory could be wrong here. Anyway if one is interested in looking in the chart to see where one is contributing to one's own career failings - or to see what one needs to accept/learn/etc to improve one's career, does one look to the 10th? Is that what you're saying? Or would you look perhaps into the 9th as the 'career losses' or 'self-undoing in regards to career'? There's a logical argument in favor of either house, so would you look to both? Anyway, just wondering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 Hi, I know of some one (in my family) who has ZERo career (no earning and no hope of earning also although drive for that is present) and that fellow has Saturn in 10th house (with scorpio asd). In this case, saturn is present in Leo Sign (ruled by Sun). That person has faced difficulties since the very young age and is still in difficulties.

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2003 Report Share Posted December 24, 2003 Yes, I believe you.
