How to Find Your 10th House and Its Ruler

Here is a step-by-step, easy-to-follow guide for complete beginners.

First, create your birth chart. You will need accurate birth data — date, time, and place — as precise as possible, since the timing of your birth determines the position of the house cusps.
Next, determine your Medium Coeli point (also called Midheaven, MC, or MH). Note the sign in which the cusp is located; this determines the lord of the house.
Identify the ruler of the Midheaven point. Simply check the sign at the MC cusp and see which planet or luminary rules that sign.

If your MH cusp is in Aries (♈), the ruler is Mars (♂).
If your MH cusp is in Taurus (♉), the ruler is Venus (♀).
If your MH cusp is in Gemini (♊), the ruler is Mercury (☿).
If your MH cusp is in Cancer (♋), the ruler is the Moon (☽).
If your MH cusp is in Leo (♌), the ruler is the Sun (☉).
If your MH cusp is in Virgo (♍), the ruler is Mercury (☿).
If your MH cusp is in Libra (♎), the ruler is Venus (♀).
If your MH cusp is in Scorpio (♏), the ruler is Pluto (♇).
If your MH cusp is in Sagittarius (♐), the ruler is Jupiter (♃).
If your MH cusp is in Capricorn (♑), the ruler is Saturn (♄).
If your MH cusp is in Aquarius (♒), the ruler is Uranus (♅).
If your MH cusp is in Pisces (♓), the ruler is Neptune (♆).

Here is an example: if Virgo sits at the cusp of your tenth house, the 10th house ruler is Mercury. Next, identify the position of your Midheaven lord by searching for the astrological house in which the ruling planet or luminary is placed. In our example, you would look at the position of Mercury. If your MC ruler is located in the eleventh house, then this is the right place to be.

What Does the 10th House Have to Do With My Success?

To fully understand the potential of the 10th house ruler in the 11th house placement, we first need to take a deep look at the tenth house itself — what it represents and which areas of our lives it governs.

The tenth house in astrology is also called the Midheaven (MH) or Medium Coeli (MC), the highest point in every natal chart. And there is good reason for that. Below you will see the logic behind it.

Your Highest Achievements

The tenth house is where you can see your potential for achievements — the very top and the very best you are capable of. This is the main reason the MC cusp is considered the highest point in your birth chart. If you wish to see what you can amount to in this incarnation, the Midheaven is where you would need to start.

Your Potential for Fame

When it comes to fame, the sign of Leo and the house it naturally rules (the 5th) is the epitome of attracting attention. However, the fifth house pales in comparison to the Medium Coeli's potential for achieving celebrity status. The simple reason is that the 5th house is located below the horizon (the ASC/DSC axis), while the 10th is right at the top of our chart, where we can shine bright in front of people.

Your Best Career

I am almost positive you came to this article for this exact reason — to uncover the great potential of your Midheaven house in terms of professional development and the ability to successfully climb the ladder in the area you were born to excel in. Your tenth house lord in the eleventh house placement is one of the indicators you need to analyze to find out what your best career path may be.

Your Father

It may not seem obvious, but our father has a direct influence on our ability to succeed professionally. The main reason is that in the past most people would simply follow in the footsteps of their dads in terms of career and profession. In very rare cases, the MC may signify the mother if she is the dominant parent in the family. To find out if that's the case with you, look at which one of your parents earns more money or has more significant achievements. On the other hand, to find the parent represented by the opposite house (the 4th), determine which parent offered more emotional support and care.

Your Relationship With the Authorities

As a direct consequence of the previous point, we can safely say that the tenth house also represents all kinds of authorities in your life and how you deal with them. These can be other father figures, teachers, mentors, and ultimately the government.

Your Mother-in-Law and the Job of Your Kids

There is one extremely interesting part of natal chart analysis — the so-called derivative houses. Almost every astrological house can be seen as a derivative house on its own. To explain this term, it is best to give you an example. To see the characteristics of and your relationship with your mother-in-law, you need to look at the 4th house from the 7th. The seventh house represents your spouse, while the fourth one is the mother. So, the fourth from the seventh will be the mother of your spouse. Similarly (and that's a really cool one!), the tenth house will also be the seventh from the fourth — the spouse of your mother — your dad. Moreover, your Midheaven will also show you the job (6th house) of your children (5th house). And that's again following the same logic I mentioned previously — in the past we would often just choose the same professional field as our dads, and our kids would continue this career path as well. This is how we ended up with so many surnames that signify the jobs of our ancestors.
