Mercury in 10th house

Paralyzed, that too unconsciously, by traditional limiting views on tenth house,its definition and scope looks confined to matters of career only.Obviously this is partially true, and there is indeed more to this house. This is the house which tell us about one’s contribution towards society, the word Dharma will aptly describe this house, which means following inner instincts that lead to fulfillment of destiny. This is the house which tell us how we are perceived by masses .In his book Steven Forrest correctly mentioned that tenth house shows how we look to the people who do not know us. In more subtle sense this house describes quality of Karma that one engages in present incarnation.

Now when Prince charming is positioned at the time of birth in midheaven ,it shows that a Soul is ready to achieve tremendous heights .Mercury in itself is always a neutral planet ,and is fast to take the qualities of other planets which forms any relationship with it. In tenth house this aspect of Mercury becomes even more important. Childhood memories remain integral part of their personalities and even lay foundations for their careers. How it actually happens? Mercury in tenth house individuals develop a strong sense of individuality right in their childhoods ,and often environment at home gives them informal yet strong value system based upon that they dream of building their occupation. A boy in his teens asked his mother, Mom how much money is required to run the house ?,his mother gives him some figure, which gets embedded in his brain and based on this assumption he dreams of pursuing a  dignified career.

When in strength Mercury gives bent towards work which give opportunity to display intellectual might. Such individuals have enormous egos which stems from their success, which gets well recognized in society they live in. They find it hard to simply believe in something, they need evidence, proofs and rationalization of events provides them a strong sense of individuality. Their status and quality of life might or might not be distinguished from the rest of their peers ,but irrespective of this fact, they like to believe that they are more worthy than others and their contribution in society is unique hence irreplaceable.

In more deeper sense, they develop understanding of Law of Karma, and their lives are often in sync with Dharmic principles .But interesting point is that they often remain ignorant ,even opposed to such “irrational” concepts .It will be apt to say that these individuals discover their destinies by sheer application of their intellect hence to borrow someone else’s philosophy looks insulting to them. If this Mercury gets more purified by other planetary aspect/conjunction and these people are actually born with some precise mission which their Soul is assigned to take quantum leap in process of evolution.
