Mercury in the 10th house — career through words and information

Mercury in the 10th house — at the top of the chart: work and reputation are built on mind and speech.

What it means

Your profession is often tied to the word — texts, trade, media, teaching, connections, negotiations. Your reputation is “smart,” “knowledgeable.” Several lines of work at once.

The flip side is that your career can toss between different pursuits; your reputation depends on what you say — a careless word is costly.

This isn't about you if your work has nothing to do with speech, texts, trade or teaching.

How to check it on yourself

Check it against your past — write your answer down before you look at the chart.

    What should match. Recall your three jobs. At least one involved texts, sales, teaching, media or negotiations.

    When it’s not about you. Not one — this isn't about you.
