The ruler of your ascendant (which is an important general life / personality indicator) is Venus (goddes of love). She is close to the sun. She would be burned by that, but being in the sign of her rulership prevents that. Venus both conjuncts and rules your sun, which makes her influence on the sun very strong. In a day chart the sun is the second important general life / personality indicator as well as an indicator for societal position. The sun is weak in the sign of Libra (the sun being about the self and Libra about others), but strong in the 1st house. In your case, this sun-Venus conjunction carries this double weight of importance. Venus is strong in her own sign and strong in the 1st house, which represents self and life. Venus signifies love, luck, harmony, friendship, beauty and joy. Having this strong Venus must be something that is visible in your life or somehow felt within yourself. The fact that she rules your sun likely indicates that a job in which personal relationships are important – like host, mediation, counseling, human resources, public relations – is something that would match your temperament.

However, your sun-Venus conjunction is being interfered with by Mars (god of war). Mars signifies things like: speed, overheating, things spinning out of control, conflicts, abrupt changes, anger, escalations, strength, hardness, competition, loss and separation. Mars strongly dislikes being in this sign of Venus and he is burned by the sun. Being in the 1st house strengthens him, but his overall condition remains problematic. This means that some sort of martial problems will probably be an important part of your life. This Mars – Venus tension can be an psychological reality or something that takes place (externally) in your life. This could mean different things like: having difficulties with anger (too much, too little or both at different times), wanting to go fast, feeling you have to prove something, feeling restless and edgy, speaking or acting before thinking, being clumsy, being selfish, feeling pushed into having to be something that you are not, feeling counteracted or undermined. If you experience this Mars influence within yourself, this could indicate a sort of inner divide between being strongly Venusian, but in some way also being (paradoxically or accidentally) martial. It could also be the case that – despite you yourself being Venusian – you somehow keep ending up with martial people, situations or problems, without wanting to.

Your 10th house (which signifies career and societal position) is ruled by the moon. Your moon derives no support from her sign placement, but she is located in a strong house and receives a beneficial trine from your Venus, which makes her overall condition good. She has the superior position to both problem planets (Mars and Saturn), which probably indicates that she will meet less resistance along the way. However, the moon by nature represents change (and she is ruled by changeable Mercury), so this does not preclude changes in your societal position. The moon is a relational planet like Venus, although they do have differences. The moon signifies things like: the mother, the body, the feeling mind, care and the home. Her rulership can indicate jobs that are connected with taking care of people like: childcare, nursing, elderly homes, restaurants, catering, hospitality, counseling, connecting local communities, social work, but more generally it can signify a certain personal and supportive mind-set or role, which can be found in all kinds of organisations and departments.

All in all I think something personal, relational and supportive of other people seems like something that strongly matches the potential in your chart.
