The Tenth House in the birth chart represents the Midheaven (the highest point in the sky). It determines the 'work' or 'Karma' a person performs in this world. It is primarily known as 'Karma Sthana' (House of Action) and 'Rajya Sthana' (House of Authority). A person's social standing, the respect they command, their power, and professional success depend entirely on this house. It is considered the strongest among the Kendra houses (1, 4, 7, 10).
