Worried about how others see you or in which direction you are going in the journey of life? Do you wish to know how to show the world the best side of you? Then you need to look at your Midheaven, the highest point in your astrological chart at the time of your birth.
Most people might obsess over their Sun sign (ego) or their Rising sign (their persona), but to understand what your birth chart tells you about your public image, reputation, and even your career path, you need to understand your Medium Coeli (MC) or Midheaven.
The Midheaven is one of the four cardinal points, and it sits on the 10th house cusp of your astrological chart. The Latin word Medium Coeli literally means the middle of the sky. Since it is at the center and at the tallest position, it acts like your cosmic north star, giving you direction. It will show you where you can go in your life if you are willing to do the inner work.
Once you understand your Midheaven, you can make refined career choices and show up to the world with your best self, making your journey to success easier. Let’s dive deeper into the secrets that the Midheaven is holding for you.
Midheaven and Career: Not Just a Job, But a Calling
Although many astrologers consider the Sun, the Moon, and the Ascendant as the major points that can provide most of the information regarding oneself, the Midheaven is the most important point that you shouldn’t ignore.
Midheaven illuminates your highest aspirations, legacy, and guides you to your professional calling. It is not the same as the 2nd or 6th Houses, which only handle your daily labour and the 9-to-5 hustles. The MC is about your true vocation. It shows you the direction to the job that you are actually made for.
Getting into a profession that you can be truly passionate about is completely different from having any job that only pays you. The difference is that the first one will leave you with a legacy, where people who don’t know you personally will be perceiving you through your professional brand image.
The MC usually reveals your career potential, your relationships with the authority figures in your career journey, how you act around them, and how you will act when you have the authority. It also represents your life goals, the mountain you can climb, and the mark you can leave on the world. Some people may spend their whole life to reach the peak.
