The tenth house, the highest point in the wheel of your chart, shows your highest aspirations and professional ambitions -- the sign on the cusp of this house, also called the Midheaven, represents the goals and achievements you will seek in this lifetime. The tenth house is a public house, showing your status in the community and perhaps the limelight; it represents your "career," your chosen vocation, as opposed to your day-to-day work. It also shows your attitudes toward authority as well as the parent who most personified authority (as opposed to nurturing and caretaking) in your childhood -- traditionally, but not necessarily, the father. The tenth house is ruled by Capricorn, and planets in this house take on that sign's diligent, ambitious, sometimes emotionally repressed quality; their energy may focus on the professional realm and be oriented toward achieving career goals. People with significant tenth-house activity often have strong potential to achieve fame.
