The placement of the Moon in the 10th house of the ascendant chart is a benefic one. The 10th house controls the professional and career-related aspects of one’s life, including their social image, relations with the government, promotions, reputation in business, etc.
As such, Moon here, if not afflicted, can reward the person with wealth, accomplishments, and recognition in their career. Such an individual may reach the highest levels of management or hierarchy in their jobs or develop an outstanding reputation as a business owner in the society. Also, the person will be kind hearted and also try to help the less fortunate individuals.
Some considerations here are:
- Moon in own sign (Cancer) – the lord of the 10th house would be in the 10th house, thereby creating a powerful combination for the native or ascendant to grow in their career in terms of both wealth and recognition.
- Moon in exaltation (Taurus) – the results would be identical to the one above.
If afflicted, Moon here will cause the person to commit sinful deeds due to which they will lose their reputation. Note that if the Moon is benefic in the 10th house, the person will also enjoy good relations with the government, that is to say, they will likely be able to secure a government job if they try for it because both the Sun and Moon are royal planets.
