Choosing a Libra career according to the typical characteristics
10th House Libra Career Options
Recommended books for choosing a career based on astrology
Right after Virgo, the next stop on our astrological career journey is Libra. What does having Libra in the 10th house natal chart mean? Which career options would be most suitable? What kind job can you pick to have more success and recognition? Let’s find out! But first, remember to check this article if you are not sure which astrological sign is placed at the cusp of your tenth house.
Choosing a Libra career according to the typical characteristics
Before we jump to the meaning of Medium Coeli Libra (MC Libra) career wise, we have to dissect the Libra sign itself. By delving into its strengths and weaknesses, we can make a better judgement of the best job and career choices of a person with 10th house In Libra.
The typical Libra sign is very friendly, diplomatic, sociable, thoughtful, and polite. Since this sign is ruled by Venus (along with Taurus), Libras can be quite artistic, romantic, and true connoisseurs of beauty and all types of arts. The seventh zodiac sign has the ability to see both sides of the coin and remain impartial in a heated dispute.
On the other side, Libras can also be quite indecisive, capricious, passive aggressive, hypocritical, and superficial. Be careful not to fall prey to people who do not have your best interest at heart for your naivety and gullibility.
10th House Libra Career Options
Now that we know the typical positive and negative traits of the seventh astrological sign, let’s transfer those to the tenth house of the natal chart – the area of our best career choices, recognition, and one of the parent figures (usually the father).
The best Midheaven in Libra careers will require diplomacy and tactfulness. If your Venus is well aspected, your career might be concentrated on working for and with women.
When it comes to Venus, everything connected to beauty and art must be taken into account – beauticians, talented hairdressers, art gallery managers, etc.
If you are more inclined towards the technical specialties, architecture and design might be your calling!
Libra on the tenth house cusp could also mean having a talent for being in the field of law, since you have the ability to have astute judgments of people and situations (it is no coincidence that the judicial system is represented by the scales of justice).
More info on finding your perfect career path here! If you want more detailed instructions how to decode your 10th house Libra position, you can grab one of my favorite books on the matter – Jan Spiller’s The Astrology of Success and Vol. 2 of The Only Way to Learn Astrology.
Also, remember that to fully discover the hidden messages about your 10th house in astrology, you need to take a look at the position and aspects of the tenth house ruler. You can read all about it in Vol. 3 of The Only Way to Learn Astrology.

When it comes to astrology books specially dedicated to the topic of career and success, this is my absolute top pick! Here in this volume you will learn a lot about how to uncover your professional potential and the best job for you! And when I say “job” I don’t mean something that just pays the bills – I mean your true vocation in life – what you came here to do, to achieve, to leave behind as your legacy.
As is I said previously, I love Jan Spiller and I keep coming back to her books over and over again – they are true masterpieces! But as far as the topic of choosing your most suitable career field according to astrology goes, this volume is also highly recommended! “Astrology for the Soul” is focused on two major aspects of our natal charts which play an extremely important role in our lives, including the work that we choose to do – the Lunar Nodes.
The Only Way to Learn Astrology, Volume 1
As I mentioned previously, if you wish to take a peek at your professional potential according to astrology, it is best to have some basic understanding of the main concepts. For example, one has to have knowledge of how a natal chart is analyzed, the twelve zodiac signs and their typical characteristics, their ruling planets, the astrological houses and their meaning, the aspects that these celestial bodies have with each other (or the Ascendant or the Midheaven point), etc.
The Only Way to Learn Astrology, Volume 2
Let’s continue with the basic astrology knowledge that it is highly recommended for us to acquire before diving deep into the area of choosing our best career field (in other words, before looking merely at the 10th house and its ruler)! The next installment of this book series is also extremely illuminating and useful!
The Only Way to Learn Astrology, Vol. 3
This amazing book series contains six installments but for the sake of this article dedicated to finding your best career options according to astrology, I will mentioned only the first 3 ones. So, this is the last book recommendation from these works by Marion D. March and Joan McEvers. And I think this one is also quite revealing and important when it comes to this topic. It contains something quite essential when analyzing one’s Medium Coeli and the areas related to the Midheaven point – the ruler of the tenth house.
New Moon Astrology: The Secret of Astrological Timing to Make All Your Dreams Come True
I told you I am a huge fan of Jan Spiller! Well, this may not look like something directly related to choosing a career based on your birth chart, but I still think it is important to read. The book deals with the movement of Earth’s natural satellite through the zodiac and the impact it has on our lives. This could be extremely valuable for those who are interested in the topic of the law of attraction or all kinds of sacred pagan (or Wiccan) rituals. What does that mean?
Vocation: The Astrology of Career, Creativity and Calling
This is another book dedicated specifically to the topic of choosing a suitable career by analyzing your birth chart. So, once you get acquainted with the basic concepts, it would be much easier to get to the point of looking at specific topics, like professional development, our routine day-to-day job, acquiring material resources or managing other people’s assets. If you are looking for a career change or just beginning your job search, this might be a great tool for guidance.
Libra: Harness the Power of the Zodiac
My next book suggestion is focused on the zodiac sign itself. Why is this important? Well, as I mentioned earlier in the article, when the tenth house cusp is located in Libra, the area related to career and acquiring social status will have the characteristic of the seventh astrological sign. So, if you wish to go deeper into the subject and get a full understanding of your professional potential as well as getting some interesting ideas for a suitable job, this volume might be really helpful in this process.
Saturn Return Survival Guide: Navigating this cosmic rite of passage
When it comes to using astrology for career guidance, we cannot miss one very important phenomenon – the Saturn return. This happens approximately every 29 years when the transiting Saturn makes a conjunction with the Saturn in our natal chart. In other words, when Saturn makes a full revolution around the zodiac wheel. And since this planet is extremely important for the area of professional development and our vocation in life, during these difficult times there may be radical career changes and shifts.
The Only Astrology Book You’ll Ever Need
Let’s get back to the basic principles in astrology! I still think that having a good foundation is a necessary step before analyzing specific areas in the birth chart. Because every good astrologer always has to keep the whole chart in their mind when deciphering various sections of it (such as the 10th house and the best career opportunities for the individual). That is why I would recommend another great book on the basics of this ancient knowledge all condensed and packaged in a convenient one volume (instead of having to purchase multiple installments from a series).
The Pathfinder: How to Choose or Change Your Career for a Lifetime of Satisfaction and Success
Well, this is not exactly an astrology book, but I still think it could be valuable to look outside the box from time to time. That is why I would recommend this work which would help you in discovering more about yourself and the possible career choices you can make. And if we look at it, it is all about learning more about ourselves and our potential. Because in the end of the day, no one else can step into our shoes and know exactly what we came here on Earth to do and achieve – only our higher self knows the answer and the way to the goal.
Wish you luck and success!

i have venus in 10th house with mc in libra. can u indicate what does that mean
Hey, Tanya, sorry for the late reply – things were pretty messy with the latest Mercury retrograde! 😀
Now, having your 10th house in Libra means that the ruler of your Midheaven is Venus and it is sitting in its own house. I think this puts some extra focus on the traits and specifics of the Libra characteristics – everything about beauty, art, romance, creativity, women and everything related to the female energy, gardening, Earth, etc.
Also, in my opinion, having the 10th house lord in the 10th house puts extra emphasis on the themes of the Medium Coeli (naturally ruled by Capricorn) – ambition, reputation, and having a strong sense of purpose and working on your dream job and following your inner calling.
This could mean that your reputation and your life mission may be connected to everything Libra-related. When following your passion for creativity, making art, serving women, or everything connected to aesthetics will help your reputation and your career advancement. In other words, you have the potential and the intense ambition to make a name for yourself for being artistic, creative, feminine, and a nature-loving person!
Good luck in your career pursuits! 🙂
I too have venus as 10th lord in 10th house libra. But my career is worst and suffering than any time in my life. I am a artist but I work in IT industry. I am really confused what career to choose.
Hi, Chetan! Thank you for sharing!
Now, in my opinion, there are lots of aspects to this topic I would like to address.
The first thing is that astrology gives us only suggestions. They may resonate with us or not. There may be a different more out-of-the-box career option for you which incorporates various aspects of our persona, skills and talents you possess.
Even in IT there may be art, like being a web or graphic designer. To me, the most important thing here is you getting in touch with your inner gut feeling and intuition. What do you enjoy doing? In what kinds of activities you lose track of time? Because building a career and getting recognition usually takes a lot of time and effort, and if we do not do what we do with joy and satisfaction, we lose patience way too soon.
Another thing is that sometimes we have to start where we are and with what we have today. More often than not we have more than one occupation just for the sake of surviving, while we are working on a side hustle or a favorite project as a hobby. And this can sometimes lead to some kind of social recognition, a career opportunity or a freelancing job, etc. You get the point!
That is why at the end of my articles I often mention Human Design as one of the best practical systems for making correct decisions in life. It works beautifully in addition to astrology and the most popular spiritual practices. I think it may give you some very important pieces of the puzzle. But it takes time to learn the basics of your personal strategy and authority for making life choices and keep practicing until you get a hang of it until it become second nature! If this interests you, feel free to check my Human Design book recommendations or the nice and sweet article I have dedicated to the system!
Good luck and I wish you lots of success in your professional development and all your endeavors!
