Your Place Of Ambition In The Midheavens
As many of you already know, there is so much more to your birth chart than your ascendant and the planetary signs. Natal charts compose a deeply complex, intricate, and unique picture of each of us that cannot be summed up or captured by one placement in particular. A key component of this picture is your midheaven sign.
Your midheaven sign, or Medium Coeli (MC for short), is not actually a planetary placement at all. Rather, your MC represents the southernmost point above the horizon at your exact time of birth. The midheaven point sits on the cusp of our 10th Houses, which rule how we are perceived and our public image. On your birth chart, it will be labeled with “MC” and will likely be found at the top.
This sign can be a great indicator of what your professional life will tend to look like. Ultimately, understanding your MC can help you refine your public image and become more visible in your work. In the age of the Internet, setting yourself apart can feel daunting – let your midheaven sign guide you towards intuitive methods of standing out.
