Eros in the 10th House
With Eros in the tenth house, the erotic life-force concentrates in career, reputation, and authority, so desire and ambition intertwine, and you may be drawn to passion in your work or to powerful, accomplished partners. The gift is a magnetic vitality that animates your public path. The shadow is desire tangled with status, or passion sacrificed to ambition. The growth is keeping the private fire alive beside the public drive. At your best your passion gives your work in the world real life.
Lean in — Keep the private fire alive alongside your public ambition.
Watch for — Tie desire to status or sacrifice passion to the career.
