Part of Fortune in 10th House: Recognition and Impact

The themes associated with the 10th house are mainly career, public image, social standing, work, and parents (although the focus is on the father).

What the Part of Fortune Indicates

Unlike the stars, planets, comets, and asteroids, the Part of Fortune isn’t an astronomical body. It’s a calculated point in the sky. It takes into account the position of the Sun, Moon and Ascendant at the time of your birth. It indicates what we could deeply enjoy and what could bring us good fortune and material wealth too.

Some the themes it governs could have presented challenges for us when we were growing up. I believe that we grow into into this particular bit of the birth chart. As we age, we learn to overcome any challenges presented by it or witness their natural improvement. By our thirties, we can expect to begin to reap the full benefits of it.

Astrologers don’t normally include it in their chart readings. I’m not sure why this is. It could be because it’s not often a part of the curriculum of Western astrology courses. Personally, I like to include it as I think it offers a lot of interesting and positive information.

Parental Influence

Their father could have been a very influential figure in their lives. Perhaps he was a Capricorn, or he had significant Capricorn placements elsewhere in his chart, such as the Moon, Ascendant or Mercury. His influence was mostly positive. He could have taught his children the value of things like hard work, patience, determination and responsibility. Perhaps he ran his own business, or held a high-salary position, inspiring his children to work hard and work smart so they could enjoy a similar level of success as adults.

He may have influenced his children’s career choices, or encouraged them to become a part of his business. He may have left them his business, perhaps along with a substantial inheritance. In his community, he was probably regarded as a positive, wise, and mature individual. People may have sought his advice on starting a business, or climbing the career ladder. Or they may have looked to him for help or advice for various issues.

Strong Public Image

Being admired and respected for their integrity and strength of character is so important to these natives. From an early age, they wanted to be viewed as capable, smart, industrious and sensible even if achieving this image required incredible determination and perhaps even some sacrifice.

By carefully cultivating their image over the years, they may increase their wealth and overall enjoyment of life. For instance, climbing the career ladder could mean frequent salary hikes. And with a greater income, they can afford more frequent and enjoyable vacations, as well as finer things for themselves and their loved ones.

Plus, a good social image can bring them joy beyond the material. Successful, smart, friendly people are likely to be invited to lots of different social events like parties. As well as being fun, such events also enable them to broaden their social circle, connecting with even more interesting, inspired and influential people.

Success Through Hard Work

These people aren’t remotely afraid of discipline and will work under most adverse situations. For instance, they’re able to tolerate narcissistic bosses, unreasonable colleagues, demanding clients and difficult customers. They definitely don’t want to deal with such characters forever, but they’ll stick it out for as long as necessary or until they find a better job!

Their legacy is important to them and it’s never too far from their thoughts. They aspire to work hard, not only for their personal benefit, but in order to provide for their loved ones who will remain once they have departed. Of course, while not everyone with this placement shares this inclination, I believe a considerable amount do, and this is one of the things I admire the most about those with Part of Fortune in the 10th.

A Successful Career

Being career and goal oriented, but also realistic and practical, allows them achieve their dreams slowly but surely. They strongly believe that a job is more than an income and a way to pay the bills. They prefer to thoroughly enjoy what they do for living and consider that a vital part of what constitutes good living. So, they take their selecting a career and then invest as much time and energy as they can muster in succeeding in it.

As much as they enjoy helping themselves, they can also be very supportive and encourage others to reach for the skies and make their dreams come true. Their practical, actionable advice can help others to become successful in whatever career they pick. If they can, they may personally assist those they believe need additional help by offering them a job or connecting them with opportunities through their own personal network. Helping others in this way brings them great joy and a sense of fulfilment.

Leadership Roles

In order to start something new, one often needs to lead the way, and this is where these people also excel. They might like to create a business, or do something that very few people, or no-one else, has done before. For instance, they could invent a brand new, highly useful product or a unique type of service. If they persevere and lead well, they could find great success in it.

Possible Career Paths

Any career these people set their sights on could work for them, and that’s probably the best thing about this placement. They work hard and long enough to make almost anything they desire come true. They can succeed in virtually anything they put their minds to and often make successful artists, musicians, actors, as well as scientists, doctors, politicians, business people and so on. They tend to get on well with most people as their personal and professional image is oftentimes sincere, competent, responsible and respectable.

Ultimately, these people strive for as much success, and material gain, as possible. Considering this, they’re more likely to pursue high-salary careers in fields like medicine, law and finance. If a traditional career feels limiting to them, they may opt to run their own business where they can set their own salary. After all, running their own business means the sky is the limit to how much they can earn, and how well-known they can become.
