How a 10th house overlay feels
The tenth house covers career, reputation and public life, so overlays here affect how the house person is seen by the world. The planet person may support their ambitions, become an authority figure for them, or become part of their public image. These overlays are common between colleagues, mentors and couples who are visible together, and they raise the question of whether the relationship helps or hinders each person's standing.

House person and planet person
Who feels a 10th house synastry overlay more?
The house person feels a 10th house overlay in public: their career, ambitions and reputation become linked with the planet person, for better or worse. The planet person usually respects or pushes the house person's standing, and the relationship is visible to others in a way that both people notice.
By rising sign
Whose Sun lands in your 10th house
With whole-sign houses your 10th house is the sign 9 steps on from your rising sign. A partner born while the Sun was in that sign has their Sun in your 10th house; their other planets need their own chart.
| Your rising sign | Your 10th house | Partner’s Sun there if born |
|---|---|---|
| Aries rising | Capricorn | December 22 – January 19 |
| Taurus rising | Aquarius | January 20 – February 18 |
| Gemini rising | Pisces | February 19 – March 20 |
| Cancer rising | Aries | March 21 – April 19 |
| Leo rising | Taurus | April 20 – May 20 |
| Virgo rising | Gemini | May 21 – June 20 |
| Libra rising | Cancer | June 21 – July 22 |
| Scorpio rising | Leo | July 23 – August 22 |
| Sagittarius rising | Virgo | August 23 – September 22 |
| Capricorn rising | Libra | September 23 – October 22 |
| Aquarius rising | Scorpio | October 23 – November 21 |
| Pisces rising | Sagittarius | November 22 – December 21 |
Sun-sign dates shift by a day in some years. Equal and Placidus houses can give a different answer near a cusp; the synastry calculator places every planet of both charts.

home, family and the private self
House type
angular
This house pairs with the 4th across the chart — home, family and the private self — and the two work as one axis. A planet landing here looks straight across at that house, so the two readings belong together rather than separately.
It is an angular house, which sits on an axis of the chart, so it is the group most distorted by an inexact birth time. Its natural ruler is Saturn, so a partner's Saturn arriving here doubles the theme rather than adding a new one.
Being angular, it shifts first when the birth time is off. How much →
The 10–4 axis
Public standing and direction of work sits opposite home, family and the private self. A planet in one faces the other across the chart, so an overlay here is always a statement about both — the relationship becomes visible to others and affects how you are read; at the 4th-house end, they end up inside the part of your life outsiders do not see.
