You probably have really good reasoning and critical thinking skills that will help you succeed in that industry. You can be a lawyer, police officer, detective... anything that deals with law.

No, your 10th house is IN Capricorn since the house cusp is on the sign. Saturn is Capricorn's ruler, which is in Libra in the 6th house. Virgo rules your 6th house because the cusp of the 6th house is on the sign.

Each sign is ruled by a certain planet (e.g. Leo = sun, Pisces = Neptune, Taurus = Venus). A cusp is that imaginary line that divides the horoscope into the 12 houses. There's a difference between the "ruler" of a sign and a sign "ruling" a house. Rulers are planets that share the same quality with a certain sign.

When a house cusp starts on any degree of a certain sign, that sign will rule over the house. This is what I meant by "Virgo rules your 6th house".

Working for somebody doesn't work for you because you have Capricorn MC. That sign doesn't want to be bossed around. It wants to be up there, commanding at the top of the corporate ladder. To me, the 10th house is more your public persona and your career, while the 6th house can represent your daily job. Having Cap MC, people may see you as very serious about your job and very respectable. And as you have said, employers in the past have not been nice to you. Saturn represents restriction wherever it is in the chart. You might not ever like any job you take up because you will feel like nothing is ever fair (Libra) and that your bosses will keep giving you a hard time. But the 6th house is also where you "shine" because this is where your Sun is at. Remember the good feedbacks from co-workers? If you quit just because your employers aren't treating you or anyone right, then you might have let them win. They see your potential and they're scared of that. That's why they're trying to "restrict" you. In a sense, they symbolize Saturn here. If they fire you, they weren't good enough for you anyway. And if working for someone doesn't work for you, you could always set up your own law office at home. You don't have to work at a law firm. Or like you said, start up your own business. You might succeed in that.

I always felt "restricted" when trying to reach my fullest potential. If law is my career in the 10th house and health/caregiving is a daily job in the 6th does that mean the daily job is what I like to do day to day but should not make a career out of?

The job the 6th house symbolizes is a little different. Because Virgo rules your 6th, your daily work might be involve a lot of critical thinking, organization, and detailed information--not just health. The 6th generally shows what type of work you would be doing day to day. It doesn't matter what career you have. You can have a law career and still be doing Virgo stuff like compiling papers and arranging them into file drawers, cleaning, helping others solve problems, reading books for information to present to someone or the public, and doing just about anything that needs precision.

If you like your daily job AND are very good at it, you can definitely turn it into a career. You can even mix up both health and law and become a personal injury lawyer. But that's just a suggestion. Again, it all comes down to balancing what you love and what you believe will help you make enough living for the lifestyle that you want.

I'll use my experience as an example and then you can apply the same process to yourself. I decided this method is better at helping people than reading their chart. It takes a lot of work and self-reflection to find out an answer like this and no one will give you a sufficient one. So here's my experience and parallel these things to you. I like talking about myself but I promise my main purpose is to give you a clear example of how much work it takes to answer even a seemingly straight forward question. I can't learn your chart for you and tell you. It's been years and I still get surprised by mine.

So when I started out I stared and read about my MC sign, Capricorn. It is true I wanted my public persona to be strong, successful, and ahead of my peers. This is funny because the Capricorn MC is the slow riser so all that want of being ahead and on top can create a frustrating period. Anyway, that's about as much info I took from it. I wanted a career that lead to power or money, I wanted it structured with clear steps I can control because I'm willing to wait it out as long as my persistence and self improvement gets my merit taking me up. None of that artist stuff, we Cappies MC don't have a flavor for that uncertainty.

But this is too basic. There are so many roads to power, money, or prestige. This damned MC tells me nothing!

Eventually I noticed my Moon is in Capricorn and in the 8th house. The first thing I did at age 18 was open a stock market account. Never spent a dime I didn't need to and all I wanted is more money. The Moon sign and house tells you, among other things, what comforts you. Money comforts me, occult subjects comfort me, yadda yadda. That seems important to a job, ya?

Well a career in occult is out. Professional astrology is too uncertain, UFO chasing is a little more uncertain, it dawned on me that my natural interest in finance, another 8th house Moon comfort, was a great possibility. So I switched gears.

What did I switch gears from? My undergraduate studies were in Political Science, and during those years my eyes were set on these things through law. My Scorpio Sun in the 7th house is charming and manipulative enough for this career and it was my initial aspiration. My Venus in Libra in the 6th would of helped too but I think it would find the court room too stuffy. I balanced internships and retail work during my college years under my district congressman. But I never felt comfortable with law... it felt too arbitrary. It didn't quite satisfy the concrete values of building something for my Cappyness of my MC, and the comfort of my Moon. I ditched my law school before I paid them a dime and then ran back to retail land to figure things out.

Took some time but while in retail land I lucked out and impressed a customer who happened to work in finance and she got me an interview. I worked in a bookstore's finance section and threw books at her face for hours when she asked me the slightest question. It was a paid internship, I was tired of being an intern but the Cappy MC is willing to be a ***** boy if we can map out the road. The pay wasn't enough so I balanced out my internship with my retail gig and did this for awhile. I wasn't fully satisfied, but I couldn't understand why. My want of potential money was being fulfilled, I got to wear a suit making me *seem* important, and I was at least recognized as the intern that would be given the full time position.

So for awhile, nothing changed. Slightly satisfied, somewhat unsatisfied. Fleet week rolls around and a childhood buddy of mine comes in and ask to stay with me because he doesn't want to get into drunken trouble with his shipmates. He was in the Coast Guard.

One of the days he's staying with me he invites me to go out with him and his girlfriends dad who works in the city in a high paying, fancy finance position at London Bank. Wish I had known that...

Anyway, so we're having dinner before a movie and we're talking careers. He's giving us fatherly advice and stuff. But I became absolutely fascinated with the Coast Guard and dismayed with my friends father (the girlfriend also being my childhood friend). He was retiring very young, and very wealthy. All his kids are successful as well. Good life, and good life left. His story didn't fulfill me as I thought it would.

Back to the damn drawing board for me. I couldn't shake the Coast Guard from my head. And as a big surprise to my family and peers I told everyone I was enlisting. Not even as an officer, as an enlisted man because I believe in working your way into an officer's role.

So what the hell was going on? Finance satisfied my Moon's comfort, my MC, and it was good enough for my 6th house which is cusped in Virgo, intercepted by Libra, it has Venus in Libra, Merc and Pluto in Scorpio. My office was intense enough to satisfy my Scorpio 6th Pluto work drive, had enough to learn for that Scorpio 6th Mercury, and playtime was fun enough for my Venus 6th Libra. All checked! Perhaps, now that I think about it, that Virgo cusp wanted a 'service' check which finance does not inherently have unless you donate your money.

So let's skip ahead, I leave finance, I go deal with a Jupiter induced travel phase, I return, I enlist, and I feel completely fulfilled. And as I learned more about my chart I noticed the aspects that needed fulfilling for my career -

The Coast Guard fulfills my Cappy MC need of structure. It doesn't fulfill the Moon comfort of money so much but I can make my finance decisions on my own. It is a clear path of ranking up and eventually some politics. The pay gets good at a later point, and being Admiral Koho doesn't sound bad at all.

There's intensity in the work, so 6th Pluto is happy, there's plenty to learn, Merc is happy, and Venus will be happy because there will be a lot of sociability on a boat because you're spending so much time with these people. My Virgo 6th house cusp may have that service check too I think

But then I noticed Neptune in the 9th house. The house of travel and blah blah has the planet of the sea in there. That indicates a lot of travel via the sea. I don't have an inherit love of travel when Jupiter isn't activating it but I will be traveling a ridiculous amount as a seaman.

So that was interesting.. well what else?

Mars in Aries - your martial energy can't be ignored. At every job I've ever I found them too nonphysical and hated it. Instead of eating on my lunch hour I would head straight to the gym and run like a madman and return revitalized and then back to the gym after work for the booty exercises. But seriously, your martial energy is part of your personality and you need to satisfy it. The Coast Guard has jobs of particular physicality and danger that I absolutely want.

But here is the most important thing that put everything into perspective, and once I learned of it, thought of it, I've had so many ideas go into my head. I have the goals of the rest of my life planned out with ever increasing detail as options play out.

Your North Node!

My North Node is in the 11th house in Pisces. Politics, and finance are things I never associated with 11th house humanitarianism, or Pisces. Neptune energy is showing on my path in this very significant way. It has been telling that my healing or ways of escape have involved water my entire life I just never thought it played a role in my career.

But Pisces NN in the 11th is much more than that. It is the very reason that took me away from the other big branches. My Cappy MC would of been fine in any military branch. And for awhile I was about to join the Navy because the CG wasn't recruiting. My Navy contract was for EOD since my eyesight was a little short for the SEAL contract (that Cappy MC chasing the prestige of the SEALs at the time) but it felt very wrong. It satisfied a lot in my chart but my 11th Pisces NN tells me that job didn't quite fulfill the compassion, and humanitarian path I would need. For awhile I justified it by telling myself I would start a company focused on nonprofit removal of landmines after my career.

But the CG called just in time and it felt right. The CGs work is humanitarian in general, my NN. It is structured like a military branch, my MC. And with my creative mind I've mapped out a post-CG humanitarian career goal that I can build myself in the private sector, satisfying both again.

So that's my long story, and the point of it is your ultimate career goal will be or should be a culmination of you. Anything less will be unsatisfying.

Aspects, I find - for now, only tells me the details. Jupiter sextiles my MC and it contributes in a great way. It opens doors for me all the time. I get the interview, I get the job, or a job (I've had jobs created for me because they liked me). But I lucked out and that interview coincided with a Ascendant trine Venus, or Venus trine Ascendant. But it does not, as far as I can tell, contribute to what my purpose is. But you can use aspects to determine if you have a helping hand in your career. Hopefully you have Jupiter looking at the MC or in the 1st house because it cradles you like a baby. But if you do have it, don't be like my cousin, who is also a Jupiter 1st house like me looking at his MC, and indulges in his good luck and hasn't done anything even in his mid 20s.

Um no.. it doesn't necessarily mean that. It is very unlikely to have a planet in every house because there are only 10 planets and 12 houses. There will always be two or more that will be empty.

To see about personal wealth, you should look at the sign on the 2nd house cusp and find it's ruler and where it is located in the chart. The sign on the 2nd house can also give you clues about the stability of wealth in your life. The house where the ruler is located shows you the area of life where you can earn the most money for yourself. Aspects to the ruler will determine how easily you can earn money and retain it. Influences from other planets could also help you determine what other sources will inhibit or increase the flow of wealth into your life.

For example, in my chart, I have Cancer ruling my 2nd house. Cancer on the 2nd house cusp may mean that I would have a fluctuating flow of money because Cancer is ruled by the Moon and just like the Moon, my personal finances will come and go like tidal waves. My Moon is in the 1st house. This means I will make the most money from a career or job where I can assert myself and play by my own rules because the 1st house represents the self. I also look at the sign on the cusp of the house where my 2nd house ruler is located. The sign on my 1st house cusp is Gemini. This means I would earn more money from something that involves multitasking, quick thinking, communication, flexibility, short travels, and pretty much anything Gemini covers. Now, we look at the aspects to my Moon. I would usually only look at the major aspects in a chart (that would be the trine, sextile, square, opposition, and conjunction). The easier aspects, trine and sextile would mean easy flow of energy between the planets. The harder aspects, square and opposition would represent friction. The conjunction will either be easy or hard depending on which two planets are making the aspect (e.g. Venus conjunct Jupiter = good; Mars conjunct Pluto = terrible). Back to my chart, my Moon receives two sextiles from my Mercury and Venus in Virgo in the 3rd house. The sextile to Mercury would indicate that I will have a variety of sources in obtaining money because Mercury gives me a knack for networking, in which I can use a variety of interests and people to help me gain wealth. I would also be very careful with my finances (Virgo) and might not want to spend a lot. This has been true for me so far. The sextile by Venus represents a small amount of luck because it is the lesser benefic. It could also mean I would be able to use creative platforms to help me gain money. Might I add, my Mercury and Venus make a conjuction with each other, thus adding strength to their energies that are directed at my Moon. I also have Sun in the 2nd house, but this is only a small part. It tells me I am a natural at creating my own personal wealth and I am proud of it. This is generally the house where I "shine".

I would have used your chart, but the image expired :/

The point of what I went through is that it takes awhile and a lot of knowing yourself. I learned about what I wanted the more I learned astrology and about myself rather than looking at my chart with a microscope and trying to squeeze out an answer.

The hardest thing to hear in the beginning is to be told to take it slow and easy but I think that is the better method. So as tough as it is to hear I would take work where I could find it, work it well, and if you like, learn astrology as a means to reflect on yourself and eventually the dots will be connected and you'll have a fuller answer.

Sorry I won't give you a quick an easy astrological trick to determine your career but it didn't work for me like that.

Learn about the signs and houses of your Sun, it is your main mode of functioning/personality. Your Moon will show you where you find comfort and how you process emotions. Your Mercury will give you insight on how you learn and sometimes what you learn. Combine these parts of your personality with your MC and Northnode.

You'll have a decent picture. It'll get clear the more you know. For instance, eventually you might realize the 6th house stands for service and not only health:daily work. You realize that it wasn't the health bit that clicked you but it was the service. You like things that have a service feel for them. But that's not really enough, a lot of things are service. You must then realize your Cappy MC demands that service leads to some form of respectability. Maybe on top of that you're a very Libran justice filled person so you may one day realize you would really like to mix your love of justice with service and then get it in your head that you'd like nonprofit work in a legal profession. But the picture is still very vague. Keep reading the placements and use all of it. It takes time but it comes together beautifully.
