Have you ever wondered what makes some people pursue their goals even when it’s hard and the chances are slim? Or what makes them fight for increasing their status no matter what? While it’s difficult to pin down a single aspect for this, in this post, we’ll take a look at some of the indicators of ambition in the natal chart. The more you find of these, the stronger the desire to become successful, but usually even one placement is a quite strong indicator in this case.
The most important planet for ambition is Mars. How well it can function in a birth chart depends on the rest of the placements. If it gets support, e.g. favorable aspects from Saturn, turning your dreams into reality is easier. The Mars sign is also important.
Here are some placements that serve as indicators of ambition in astrology.
Jupiter Square Pluto
Jupiter square Pluto is a classic. It expands your desire for power. You are motivated by raising your social status, achieving your goals, getting a promotion. This aspect indicates a strong drive for gaining wealth. All combinations of Jupiter and Pluto can indicate ambition in the birth chart.
Mars on the Midheaven
When a planet is located around the Midheaven it becomes central in the birth chart.

It depends on the nature of the planet how it works out exactly, but the stronger the 10th house influence, the more motivated you are to put yourself out there. Your achievements are usually of the nature of the planets located in your 10th house. The world recognizes the quality of the planet in your work.
