Questions people secretly ask
Common Misconceptions
What most people get wrong about this placement.
This placement means you will definitely marry your boss.
While you may meet your spouse at work, it more accurately means your spouse *influences* your career, or that your ability to manage the public (7th) *is* your career (10th).
You will sacrifice your marriage for your career.
Your career often *depends* on your marriage, or you run a highly successful business alongside your spouse.
Typical Inner Dialogue
If you have this placement, you've probably caught yourself thinking:
"I have to build a legacy that proves I can unite people."
"If my partner doesn't support my ambition, I can't do this."
"My clients are my ultimate responsibility."
"I will perform my duties with absolute diplomatic brilliance."
Why does this happen?
The 7th House represents partnerships, marriage, contracts, business, and the public.
The 10th House represents career, authority, public reputation, and legacy.
When the ruler of partnerships moves into the house of public action, life repeatedly thrusts you onto the world stage, demanding that you forge your professional legacy by negotiating, consulting, and building alliances with the masses.
