Tenth House (The Midheaven)

The Tenth House begins at the Midheaven (MC) — the highest point of the chart — and governs career, public reputation, authority, achievement, and your legacy in the world. It describes your ambitions, how you are perceived publicly, and the role you play in society. The sign on the Tenth House cusp (your MC sign) and any planets within it reveal your career orientation and public persona. The Tenth House is associated with Capricorn and Saturn in the natural zodiac. A prominent Tenth House suggests a life driven by professional ambition and a strong desire for public recognition. Transits to the Tenth House often coincide with career milestones, promotions, changes in public standing, and encounters with authority figures.
