The 10th house in astrology represents one's career, achievements, awards and aspirations for success in the external world.
To evaluate the 10th house in a specific natal chart, consider:
The sign on the cusp of the 10th house.
The ruler of the Midheaven (sign, house, aspects).
Planets in the 10th house (their direct significations and aspects).
Co-ruler of the 10th house, if applicable (sign, house, aspects).
This article will discuss what it means if you have Leo on the cusp of the 10th house.

Tip #1 - Ambitions
It's probably unnecessary to talk about the ambitions of Leo. Naturally, they are VERY high. A Midheaven Leo wants to possess much and often believes they are worthy of it.
The fixed fire on the Midheaven provides opportunities, builds a career, gives grounds to achieve a good social status (not necessarily through a career), to be well-known and popular. It strengthens social positions. It may slightly slow down the process (although most often, Leo Midheaven holders want fairly quick and noticeable results), but it stabilises the situation and avoids the "roller coaster" characteristic of, for example, Aries.
Even without remarkable achievements, Leo Midheaven holders are often perceived as fortunate and envied by others, which surprises them.
Tip #2 - Successful Career Paths
Leadership roles suit them perfectly, thriving in positions where they can take charge. Even when job hunting, they often aim for high-ranking positions, undeterred by unfamiliar fields requiring leadership. Their leadership skills suffice to handle new roles effectively.
Art and creativity encompass a broad spectrum. They can create, evaluate, sell, or insure artistic works. They can teach art or manage creative teams of any kind. They might own theaters, circuses, or sports arenas, working in various roles from artists to accountants.
Entertainment venues include amusement parks, animation, children's centers, and attractions' creation, sale, or installation. Event management and associated roles fall into this category.
Jewelry and precious metal industries encompass everything from mining to jewelry making, repair, and sales.
Childhood-related industries emphasise fun, entertainment, and celebrations, dovetailing with the entertainment sector but with a focus on children's needs.
Toys and games range from physical toys to virtual ones and even include gambling and virtual gaming.
Light and energy industries involve energy production, lamp manufacturing, candle making, and chandelier crafting.
Medical fields, particularly cardiology, brain surgery, spinal surgery, and ophthalmology, are favoured by Leo Midheaven holders.
A Leo positioned in the 10th house implies a desire to shine brightly and boldly in order to achieve success.
Tip #3 - Strategies for Thriving in Society
Seek attention and take initiative, participating in public presentations and events without hesitation.
Maintain a spotless reputation, avoiding dubious dealings and maintaining transparency.
Be at the forefront of your business, embracing leadership roles confidently and leading with charisma.
Keep your ego in check, remaining open to initiatives and proposals beyond your own.
Express yourself confidently and actively, inviting attention and support. Be fearless and optimistic, taking responsibility for your actions and leading those who follow you.
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.
Ideally, your bosses are bright, generous, kind, and talented people. They are standing out, charismatic, capable of making their business appealing to others. But even in this case, they bask in praise and love to be noticed. By the way, they respond well to gifts for various occasions and are generous themselves.
In a negative light, they are proud egotists, envious of others' success and talent. Such individuals will oppress talented subordinates, especially if they refuse to attribute credit for their work to the boss. They cannot stand any competition for leadership rights.
In this article, we explored the placement of Leo on the cusp of the 10th house. While the ruler of the house sets the overall tone for events related to this theme, aspects to the ruler, its dispositor, planets in the house, and second ruler (if any) can significantly complement or alter the picture. If you find that this portrayal doesn't entirely align with your experience, consider booking a consultation for a thorough analysis of your 10th house.
