Saturn in the 10th house

The 10th house is career, standing and public role, and Saturn is strong there. Ambition is patient: a career built in stages, authority earned rather than granted, recognition that often arrives later than it should. Responsibility suits these people and they carry it well. Since the 10th house cusp depends directly on the birth time, an accurate one is needed before reading a planet this close to it. The cost is a public role that swallows the private life, and a standard nothing quite satisfies.
