themes:: Famously the house of career and vocation/aspiration. This manifests as one’s career or career aspirations, public image and reputation, worldly ambitions and one’s standing in (or contributions to) the world. It also manifests as one’s mental relationship with fame, ambition and influence, and one’s relationship to authority figures.
Associated with Capricorn and Saturnian traits.
There’s a branding theory slowly increasing in popularity to match one’s brand identity and/or professional style according to one’s Midhaven sign and Midhaven sign ruler, usually in combination with one’s rising (1H) sign and rising sign ruler.
The opposite of the 10H is the 4H, the house of roots, ancestry and foundations.
Compared with 6H which concerns chores, service to others and day-to-day work, 10H is more concerned with one’s calling and vocation in life, and one’s contributions to society by way of legacy, if you must.
Note
A few years ago, I had a “party trick” where I would guesstimate somebody’s “secret dream” by learning their Midhaven.
