Sun in Capricorn in the Tenth House

Having your Sun in Capricorn, your motivating force is desire for success, money, status, position, authority, and (though you may not realize it) for love. Capricorn is both an earth sign and a cardinal sign, and the combination of practicality (earth) and initiative (cardinal) produces a personality geared toward leadership and power. In the zodiac Capricorn is linked to the Midheaven — the point at the top of the horoscope that represents high achievement. You’re a born climber who’s not content to poke along down in the valleys. As long as there is a top to get to from the bottom, you will persevere in your upward striving. One of the hallmarks of having your Sun in Capricorn is that you learn to wait for things you want. You are willing to give up today’s temptation for tomorrow’s reward.

With your Sun in Capricorn, you are ambitious, practical, and, above all, determined. You are not interested in vague theory; you want to put any knowledge to use. Your active mind quickly grasps ideas, and you have an admirable ability to concentrate. You are precise and orderly, and generally don’t trust others to look after details. When you give your word you stick to it, and when you undertake a task you complete it to the best of your ability. You tend to fuss over details and to make sure all contingencies are covered. It’s your way of being in control. Because of your diligence, people sometimes fail to give you credit for creativity. Yet you are highly creative – your skill is to link this to your talent for organization.

As an individual with your Sun in Capricorn, as is your nature with everything else in life, you are cautious and conservative with money. Chances are you will amass wealth during your lifetime (usually in the later years), for you know how to make sound investments. In business your success is due to painstaking preparation. The journey of ten thousand miles may begin with a single step, but you know you can’t get anywhere unless you first know where you’re going. You may not size up a situation as quickly as some, but this can be an advantage, for it means you won’t heedlessly plunge in. Instead, you will research, examine what others have done before, and gather all relevant data. Only then, with a thorough understanding of the details, will you begin to move. And then you won’t be stopped until you reach your goal.

Having your Sun in Capricorn, your basic concern is for security. That goal comes first and you are usually materialistic. You can be spiteful toward those who stand in the way. You have a great sense of pride and will not forgive anyone who belittles or slights you. By the same token you will repay favors done for you. Scorpios also go out of their way to repay a kindness, but in their case it is done out of a sense of gratitude and fidelity. With you the motivation is pride that does not allow you to live comfortably under an obligation.

For the Sun in Capricorn, in most relaties you must dominate, because when you are in control you do not feel vulnerable to another person’s power. In small ways you are continually testing the loyalty of those close to you. You are the loner of the zodiac, but have a great need to be loved and appreciated. Unfortunately, you won’t let this need be known—in fact, you are a master at concealing it.

The Inner You with your Sun in Capricorn

With your Sun in Capricorn, you don’t need anyone to convince you that life is serious business; you’ve known it all along. That’s what keeps you anxiously asking yourself: Am I fulfilling my responsibilities? Am I achieving as much as I should? Am I self-reliant enough? You know you have the persistence and strength of purpose to reach your goals. But you also have a deep need to connect on an emotional level in your relationships so that you won’t feel separated from those you care about. Having a Sun in Capricorn, despite your intelligence and the fact that you’re so determined, you often feel insecure. You’re a bundle of conflicting emotions. You require discipline and order—chaos drives you crazy and makes you doubt yourself and what you’re capable of. But maybe the gods meant for you to have some doubt; if you believed you’re as powerful as you really are, you’d be impossible to live with!

Sun in the 10th House

With your Sun in the 10th House, you are likely to be motivated toward achievement and accomplishment. Much of your identity comes from your career or from other ways in which you find success, acquire status, or accomplish your goals. Generally, involvement in areas of life that are public in nature, such as career, leadership, politics or public involvement will be important for you. If your fate does not allow you to participate much in public life, you may either identify with someone who fulfills that role. Alternatively, you may harbor latent desires to have a more public life. You may resent being confined to a more private role where opportunities for achievement and success are limited.

As an individual with your Sun in the 10th House, you may feel some pressure to succeed, since your sense of being and self-worth is likely to be related to your achievements, recognition and success in the world. You are, therefore, more likely to work hard and be goal-oriented. You are also more likely to work within structures that support your quest for measureable success in life. Appreciation and positive feedback for the work that you have accomplished may be important in building and maintaining your self-esteem. You are also more likely than most to have clear goals and to take the initiative to accomplish those goals.

With your Sun in the 10th House, one issue that you may face involves the extent to which you take your self-worth from external accomplishments and recognition. It may be a struggle for you to feel a sense of being that is not derived from your career and or the recognition that you receive from your achievements. Because so much of your self-esteem depends on your success and status, you can suffer from self-induced stress that results from your overly ambitious expectations.

Onzekerheden

Having your Sun in the 10th House, if you are inwardly insecure, you will feel that you must accomplish and succeed or you are worthless. Since your self-worth is solely determined by what is external to yourself and beyond your control, you can never feel secure in your worthiness. Consequently, no success is enough and you push yourself until you are stressed and hollow inside. You may be outwardly successful but you are never secure internally. You use your success as a shield and a prop to substitute for your own authenticity. Another manifestation of your insecurity with your Sun in the 10th House, is that you may be so intimidated by the need to succeed that you cannot ever see yourself measuring up to that standard and you fail constantly. Your low self-esteem and lack of confidence perpetuate this cycle of failure. You may continue trying, always stressed and anxious, or you may give up in frustration.

Focus of Identity

As an individual with your Sun in the 10th House, you tend to identify with what you have accomplished and with your successes in life. Unless you have transcended your need to succeed, you probably believe that you are what you have achieved. Your identity is also defined by what you do to achieve success. If you have achieved much, you will tend to have a high opinion of yourself. If you have achieved little, you may see yourself as a lesser player in the scheme of things. However, you may console yourself by seeing yourself as having performed a job well done. Having your Sun in the 10th House, it is likely to be a struggle for you to extract your identity from the limitations of your external accomplishments and the view that the world takes of these accomplishments. The tendency to identify who we are with what we do in society is already a strongly conditioned perspective. It is one that you will almost automatically share with most others in society and it is a tendency that you will have to overcome if you are to develop a whole and authentic identity.
