What makes a House 'Dominant'? 

Dominant Houses are the houses in which the most planets or the most significant planetary configurations are located in our birth chart.  Essentially, the more going on in a house, the more 'power' that house gains in significance.

Understanding our Dominant Houses provides valuable insights into our strengths, weaknesses, desires, and motivations. They can show us and where we are likely to make the most impact in this life, and possibly the most financial gain.

10th House Dominant

Known as the "House of Career," the 10th House in astrology governs professional ambitions, career development, authority figures, organizations, traditions, and public reputation. This House represents how we project ourselves into the world and how society perceives us.

The 10th House is about professional achievement and public status. It drives our ambition, shapes our professional goals, and fuels our need to find a sense of purpose in society. It governs our relationship with authority and how we manage responsibilities.

If your 10th House is dominant, you likely possess a strong ambition and a clear sense of your career goals. You may have a deep desire for achievement and recognition and a keen interest in governance, authority, or the public sphere.
