10th House in Cancer
Avesalom Podvodny. Houses in Zodiac Signs
While digging a pit for another, make it as comfortable as possible. The dispositor of the 10th house is in imprisonment. Generally, the 10th house in water signs creates significant difficulties in situations of forced choice and in relationships with superiors and subordinates, since the person perceives them deeply emotionally and painfully—and especially so in this case. The formation of practical goals and tasks is connected with inner transformation, and even if this is consciously recognized, it is certainly felt. In conversations with a superior, this person is most likely inwardly restrained and closed, receiving new assignments with great caution; yet once undertaken, they approach them more personally and emotionally than appropriate, especially if Cancer is afflicted. With subordinates, they may resemble a bustling, caring hen: their ideal of a team is a large family, where they play the role of a nurturing mother. However, the “children” must unquestioningly follow their instructions, otherwise they will be expelled from the “family.” Clearly, such attitudes make leadership difficult, but when worked through, they can bring great success—managing a friendly team, deep life understanding, and the ability to give truly valuable advice that will be accepted. This house placement generates a strong desire to avoid responsibility, which always initially seems frightening to the person; yet after becoming accustomed to it and making peace with it, they will by no means wish to hand over their channels of external authority to someone else. Their attitude toward others’ advice is wary, though outwardly attentive, and subconsciously they listen very closely, especially when they sense the advice comes with understanding of their situation; however, most often the advice is completely absorbed—both as an energetic component and as a thought-form. The person themselves enjoys giving advice, but only to those they trust sufficiently.
