10th House in Taurus

Avesalom Podvodny. Houses in Zodiac Signs

I don’t stand still, but tread firmly upon my life path. This person sets concrete life goals slowly, thoroughly, fundamentally, and strongly dislikes changing them. His superior recognizes him as heavy-going, but (if Taurus is not severely afflicted) will respect him for his practicality and seriousness in carrying out tasks. When Taurus is afflicted, he becomes very difficult to deal with, both for superiors and subordinates, as deep stubbornness emerges along with an inability to make any choice, even in an acute situation. Overcoming such affliction grants the ability to analyze and make the right decision in a very difficult situation from which, seemingly, there is no and cannot be an exit. Making choices in life is hard for this person; implementing them sometimes takes years, and each choice appears entirely material, unlike, for example, the 10th house in Gemini, where a person more often chooses a way of thinking or relational emphases. Yet such choices arise infrequently, and usually sufficient time is given for deliberation. His recommendations are typically practical and oriented toward existence in the world of forms, and he accepts only such advice, considering other counsel (watery, airy, fiery) as ephemeral. His position is: “A sensible person speaks to the point,” and also “Don’t tell me how to live—help me materially.”

Houses in Signs. Oleksandr Kostovych

Sensible and capable. Strives to earn more money to maintain a high standard of living that matches his high opinion of himself. With his entire being, he desires to tower above others and flourish. Sets high goals and dislikes changing them. His secret desire is to become wealthy and famous. Superiors respect him for his practicality and seriousness, but criticize him for slowness and stubbornness. Life choices are difficult, very difficult—often requiring years to make, yet they arise infrequently, allowing time for consideration. Likes to speak substantively and on material matters. May use people’s lower instincts—greed, laziness, rivalry—as levers of control. Confident in his own infallibility and righteousness. Unable to critically assess subordinates and often falls for flattery. Behaves with dignity, yet peacefully; at work, maintains a somewhat detached, princely demeanor toward subordinates. Values people who know how to behave. Whoever respects him as a superior and supports his career becomes a valued guest in his home. He tries not to risk his future; a secure social position is important to him, and he usually achieves it. Once attained, he adheres to justice, but considers minor exceptions in his own favor permissible. Knows how to win the hearts of people upon whom his career depends. His power of resistance to obstacles is great. What he undertakes usually succeeds, though he does not set excessively high goals. Generally calm and confident in his abilities, he does not fly into a rage even when his position is threatened. He is often elected to committees and presidiums; he enjoys chairing meetings and does so excellently. Demands that others remain silent when he deigns to speak.
