nonagesimal The point 90° from the Ascendant. The highest point of the ecliptic above the horizon.
One such redefinition takes not the 1st house cusp as the crux of the system but the Equal House 10th, otherwise known as the Ecliptic Zenith or Nonagesimal.
The cusp of the tenth house, also called the nonagesimal, is exactly 90 degrees away from the Ascendant, as measured along the ecliptic -- the course of the sun.
