What It Means
The 10th house rules career, status, reputation and life goals, and Black Moon Lilith rules the shadow side, rebellion and temptation. Together they make your professional life the place where you meet your shadow. You may rebel against bosses and rules, choose an unconventional career or work where others are afraid to go. Your public image can be provocative, vivid and sometimes controversial. Relationships with authority figures may be complicated, including with a parent who strongly shaped your goals. In the Russian tradition the Black Moon in the 10th house points to the temptation of a career at any cost, power for its own sake or dishonest routes to success.

At its best, this placement gives success on your own terms, honest and lasting.
