While the 6th house of your birth chart is associated with daily work, the 10th house is associated with your overall concept of career: your ambitions, your relationship with power and authority figures, and your public status. The 10th house is known as the "top" of your birth chart, and the very beginning of your 10th house is called your Midheaven" or "medium coeli," representing the highest point a planet can achieve in your chart before descending through the final part of your chart.
In general Astrology, though not necessarily in your own chart, the 10th house is associated with the traditional workhorse sign of Capricorn, the striving 10th sign of the zodiac, and the regimented planet Saturn.
