Midheaven in the Earth Signs: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn MC
The MC & IC
The Midheaven (MC) is a great indicator of your public status and your career in your natal chart. The MC is in the 10th House and this shows how comfortable a person is with speaking with the public, as well as, what would be his or her career.
When speaking about the MC we cannot forget about the IC, these are both opposites to each other, however, they both need to work together and please each other in a way, so that you are achieving your mission.
So, when looking at your midheaven, you cannot disregard your IC (which is in your fourth house). The IC represents what it is that your true desire and the midheaven shows how that will be done in the public world.
Your IC is what you internally keep to yourself, and who you realize you are (which is about 6 years old), and hide it from the world, however, your MC is what you show the world.
The IC also represents the father figure, while the MC represents the mother figure in your natal chart.
To know your MC, you must know your date of birth and the exact hour you were born. Your MC is not your solar sign. May I remind you that your MC is in your tenth house cusp, while your IC is in your fourth house cusp and despite being opposite from each other, they are both very connected.
Below is a description of MC in the fire signs, however, you should take into consideration what planets are matching your tenth house, as well as any other aspects that it might create. So, make sure to see if you have any other planets in your MC and if they are creating any other aspects with other planets as well.
