Midheaven meaning in your chart - all signs

In this blog post, I share how to locate your Midheaven and the meaning of your Midheaven through all the signs.

Midheaven meaning in your natal chart

The Midheaven (MC) signifies your soul’s highest public aspirations. These aspirations may or may not also apply to what you do for work (identifying that depends on whether your MC falls in the 10th house following the whole sign house system or your MC’s connections to the rest of your chart if it is not located in your 10th house).

You should treat your Midheaven as the biggest clue to how you can feel soul-level satisfaction through where you choose to direct your energy, regardless of whether that activity brings in money.

How to find your Midheaven sign and house placement is easy when you pull up your chart at astro.com (it’s free!).

Midheaven through the signs

Use your Midheaven as a guideline for the traits you should integrate to feel like you’re performing at your best in professional settings and being your most authentic self in any of your outward pursuits.

Reflection questions:

  1. How am I already embodying the traits of my MC sign in my public pursuits?

  2. How do I feel when I embody these traits?

  3. How and why do I prevent myself from embodying these traits, if applicable?

  4. How can I embody these traits more in my pursuits?
