Vocation

The tenth house represents public trajectory and the visible contribution you make to the world: it rules vocation, reputation, and the place you occupy in society. Its cusp is called the Midheaven or MC and is one of the most important points in the natal chart. Its natural sign is Capricorn and its natural planet is Saturn, giving it structured ambition, a sense of accomplishment, and an orientation toward concrete results. Here you can read how you build your place in the world, what kind of authority you exercise or seek, and how your work becomes a legacy. It also describes your relationship with the parental figure most associated with the public sphere, and with structures of power in general. It does not determine a specific profession: it describes the direction and character of your outward projection.
