This article will discuss what it means if you have Scorpio on the cusp of the 10th house.

Tip #1 - Ambitions

Very high social ambitions. For a Scorpio with the Midheaven, power and influence will hold significant importance in their career. Of course, "power" and "influence" can take various forms. Some attain them through state authority, working, for instance, in law enforcement, while others gain influence through handling others' finances. Some may choose surgery, wielding power over life and death, or psychology, with its constructive or destructive potential.

A Midheaven in Scorpio almost never promises advancement on a silver platter – here, everything is achieved through hard work, often in challenging or complex fields. However, Scorpio Midheaven individuals are typically very resilient (especially in work matters), constructive in crises, and capable in morally challenging situations. Moreover, work without strain or risk, without overcoming obstacles, quickly becomes uninteresting; they wither and lose all enthusiasm.

Overall, they can attain a very high social status, but of course, only if they pursue it diligently.

Tip #4 - Portrait of a Typical Boss

The 10th house also describes the collective image of authority figures in our lives. It enables us to discern which traits in our managers we'll appreciate overall and, in negative scenarios, what will challenge us. If we become bosses ourselves, these characteristics will define us in that role.

It's challenging, of course, to talk about what an ideal Scorpio-type boss should be like... Well, certainly, they will be strong, resilient, and perhaps very profound. They will surely defend you from attacks by all other bosses and will engage in confrontations with them. However, in this case, they will often be complex individuals. Despite defending you from others, they themselves can be critical, difficult in personal communication, and sensitive to attempts of disobedience.

In the negative, they will be VERY difficult. To the point where you may fear them or develop a variety of "health issues" while working under their guidance. It's worth noting that Scorpio governs sexuality and even violence, so in the most negative scenario, there's a risk of sexual harassment.

Such a boss will be jealous of everything related to him personally or his affairs. They may be vengeful, petty, and ready for treachery. They may set traps (so be cautious when signing any documents for them if you have signing authority). In general, it's difficult to call them a dream boss, but, on the other hand, you, even if recalling your work under their leadership with some trepidation, almost always acknowledge that this job taught you a lot.
