Mercury in the 10th House ************************************************************* For this planet to operate well in this house, you need an occupation that is intellectually stimulating. Without it, you may find yourself restless and changing jobs often. A position in the media, publishing, or telecommunications might work well for you. If Mercury is in an air sign, professional sales are worth considering. You are talented at solving logistical problems involving society. You can get to know yourself through dedicating yourself to your work and following your instincts. You want to be considered clever, intelligent, and industrious; you enjoy impressing others with these characteristics. The tenth house is associated with career, ambition, and reputation. Mercury will influence the perception you have of these associations, as well as your attitude about people in authority. If Mercury in the tenth house receives challenging aspects from other planets, you may experience problems with communication and understanding concerning your work and other areas of your social life.
