The 9th house is claim to fame
The 10th is your public image and career
The 11th is your aspirations and connections
Fame is not a destination, it’s the journey (9th), reaching fame does not mean you have found your place in this world.
Fame is not public. Everyone has a Midheaven which is their public image, but to have a level of fame means that you become actual “knowledge” in another person’s mind. This is not self-actualization. The fact that people think fame is where they will find themselves, speaks highly of why the 10th is so popular for fame seekers.
The Midheaven is your point of public perception and self actualization, but your 10th is a little different, it’s your career. This means that where your Midheaven shows the world who you are, the 10th is about those ups and downs in a career that can feel more like a job to you, than an exciting experience. Again, experience is the 9th, which then leads to crescendo at the Midheaven and then drops back down to the 10th. The 11th is where you go from there. It’s your hopes and dreams personified. This transcends fame because the 11th only cares about connections to others. The 9th and fame is connnection-less.
