Understanding the Midheaven

Written by Daisy

The Midheaven is at the tip of the sky chart. The MC tells us the highest point, it stands as a direction. By definition it is the most important point, it represents the social realization of the individual. It is also called House X, it characterizes destiny in general. In astrology the Midheaven is not always well assimilated or understood, the reason? Nobody knows it. It is associated with the professional, the profession, the career, the ascension, the social fulfillment, the success and the power, even if most often it is the ascending sign that will determine the profession. In analogy House X is connected to the sign of Capricorn (earth sign). It corresponds to the mother in a masculine theme, and vice versa, to the father in a feminine theme.

The actions of the Midheaven represent the way and the capacity we must free ourselves from the heavy baggage that life imposes on us. House X pushes us to achieve a specific goal. Because of the education he has received and according to his condition of life, the person, lacking a marker, will act under influence and unconsciously. The individual having a dominant House X is egocentric. He has a strong tendency to put himself forward also as regards the professional field that personal. He knows how to extol his merits, he stands out from the others, he does everything for the good of humanity. From the moment the subject finds his place in society, he accomplishes beautiful things which gives him the opportunity to shine in society.

The Midheaven acts differently for the twelve signs of the zodiac. Allow us a little overview of all the signs and find out what is its role for each of the signs.

Aries

The role of the X House offers beautiful initiatives, courage, a leader side, a curious mind. The midheaven in Aries offers beautiful initiative, courage, a leader's side, a curious spirit.
You need an exciting job in which you have to make quick and sometimes radical decisions. You seem unstoppable in the eyes of your professional environment; highly reactive and always on the alert, your ambitions are powerful but short-term: you manage daily life efficiently, a little less so your overall career plan. It is in the confrontation, the urgency, that you give the best of yourself. If you happen to make a mistake or fail, your disappointment is short-lived; you are quickly ready to take on new challenges with the same ardor. If you exercise a sedentary activity, it is very important to exercise physically in other ways: sport or intensive walking, otherwise you risk becoming morally exhausted and lastingly discouraged.
Beware of your impulsiveness.

Taurus

You are looking for a stable and constructive working life, you do not mind routine if it makes you feel useful and efficient. You are capable of great perseverance and patience in the face of long and difficult work. On the other hand, you hate going from one activity to another without carefully finishing what you started. You are naturally attracted by jobs related to real estate, the management of material goods or by everything related to well-being and comfort: you can be an excellent cook or a good decorator, fond of beautiful materials and warm colors. You prefer to work alone because agitation disperses you and reduces your output. You are very lucid about your abilities and the pursuit of your career.
Beware of your stubbornness.

You are a good speaker, an excellent salesperson, you bring a lot of lightness and humor to your daily work. You can hardly stand a sedentary job unless it allows you to use your critical sense and verve.
