Saturn in the 10th house: the 10th house, counted anticlockwise from the Ascendant on the left.

Meaning

Saturn knows the 10th well: angular and at the Midheaven, it is the house of rank, career and responsibility. Recognition tends to come late and step by step, and to last because of it. Astrologers read authority gained through competence rather than favour.

In the 10th house, Saturn asks for patience, structure and hard-won competence in career, reputation and public standing.
