The Tenth House

Main Rulerships: The vocation, profession or trade; also employers and those in command. Honour, prestige, reputation, power, control, dignity, glory, acclaim, advancement – the worldly position, career or life-interest that attains these. Likelihood of success relative to one’s station in life. Awards, trophies and prizes. Fame, infamy, notoriety – the public eye. Poor reputation and unfavourable publicity if afflicted. The Sun, Jupiter or Venus, if well aspected, indicate professional success, Saturn indicates responsibility or, if badly afflicted, disgrace and ruin.

Those in dignified positions such as royalty and nobility: kings, princes, dukes, earls, etc. The government or those in office. All forms of authority in decision-making or those who enforce authority or law – the police, courts, judges, magistrates, commanding officers, a boss at work, etc. The ruling in a law court; judgements and decisions.

The desire to achieve and give out to the world – whereas the lower midheaven indicates the roots of our existence from which we emerge, the midheaven indicates that which we manifest outwards into our community and the fruits of our labour. Ancient authors recognised its influence on many matters, including marriage and children. Traditionally it is the house of the mother.

In Horary Astrology: As above applied to the querent. Property belonging to the spouse (4th from 7th). Grandchildren’s wealth (2nd from 9th). Luminaries in the 10th bring discoveries: the Sun in the 10th, for example, is an argument for a lost object being found or the truth being brought to light in legal situations. Lilly also says that to know if someone is honourable and sincere in any advice they offer, check the planets in the 10th house: Sun, Jupiter, Venus or North Node in the 10th house suggests honesty and good intentions; Saturn, Mars or South Node suggest deceit.43

In Mundane Astrology: Those in authority over the nation, whether prime ministers, governments, kings, presidents or dictators. The police or armed forces when they assert authority over citizens. The Heads of State. The national reputation and prestige. Credit and power, national trade and influence. Carter notes that it is the most important and powerful of all the houses in mundane astrology and bodies here have a wide significance.44

In Lawsuits, Conflicts or Events: In legal matters, the judge or ruling magistrate. Affliction suggests a corrupt or unjust ruling; if dignified justice will be served. The Sun’s position in the 10th illuminates the matter and suggests that the full truth of the situation will emerge in court (unless it is badly afflicted). In countries where appropriate, the power of government to convict and execute. In war charts, the nature of airborne attacks.

In Medical Matters: The cure; whether the medicine will succeed in overcoming the illness – the 10th house dignified indicates that the remedy applied to cure the illness is forceful and effective; debilitated, the attempted cure may be harmful or ineffective. The knees and hams (back of the leg above the knees), calves, shins.

In Commerce: The price – the 10th house dignified or its ruler angular
