• 13°20′–26°40′ Aries: Bharani, Venus's own nakshatra, which concentrates the placement; for work it points to work with birth, death, transformation, finance, film and pleasure trades.

• 26°40′–30° Aries: Krittika, ruled by the Sun, lord of the 10th here, which brings career and status into it; for work it points to cooking, metal, defence, critique, editing and leadership that cuts through.
