Natal Moon in the Tenth House

This is a strange placement for sure!

The Moon is traditionally associated with your home, family and private life. Well, the tenth house is the exact opposite. It governs public image, career, authorities.

What is in tenth house, becomes visible to the public. This is especially true if you have a planet conjunct the Midheaven. The Moon in the tenth house tells that people see you as gentle, caring, and you often end up in a career where you are in the public eye. People have an insight into your life, you don’t really have privacy with the Moon here. You are a well-known person in your community.

Luckily, you enjoy this fame. The Moon shows what makes you comfortable, and if it is located in the tenth house, you love attention.

Actually, you have a deep need for recognition with this placement. You are charismatic and feel at home in the limelight. Even if you don’t become a celebrity (although some people with this placement do), you will be a well-known member of your communities.

The Moon in the tenth house suggests that your public image is very important to you. You are emotionally attached to it and try to obtain a positive reputation. The Moon here usually makes you loved in the eyes of the public. The sign of your Moon tells how you express the energies of this luminary.

The negative side of this position is an increased sensitivity to the opinion of others. You want to live up to the expectations of people, but this makes you vulnerable. You have a perfect image of yourself, and chasing this unattainable ideal can be the source of great suffering.

The Moon represents your mother in astrology (or the more nurturing parent). The Moon in the tenth house suggests that your mother was very successful in her career, in some cases this placement tells that she was a public figure in some form, or a person of high social standing.

If you have your Moon in the tenth house, you are usually very successful in your career. You also have a good relationship with your bosses or the authority figures in your life.

The Moon is famous for its quick changes. It’s constantly changing, and it’s the quickest celestial body in astrology, staying in each sign for two and a half day (comparison: Pluto changes sign approximately every 20 years). You can expect fluctuations in your career with the Moon in the tenth house. It’s possible that you will change your profession a few times until you find the perfect one.
