The tenth house

The tenth house is your public life: career, reputation, status and the mark you want to leave.

What the tenth house covers

The tenth house starts at the midheaven, the highest point of the chart. It covers your career, your public image, people in authority and (traditionally) the mother. Planets here are on show. The Sun here wants to be known for its work. Neptune here can make a career in art or a career that feels unclear.

Commonly it personateth Kings, Princes, Dukes, Earles, Judges, prime Officers, Commanders in chief … Honour, Preferment, Dignity, Office, Lawyers; the profession or Trade any one useth.

Transits through the tenth house

Transits through the tenth house bring career moves: a promotion, a public role, a fall, or a new calling.

Your the tenth house

Houses come from your birth time and place. The sign on the cusp of the tenth house and the planets in it are yours alone. Solstice works them out and tells you when a planet moves through it.
