Midheaven in Aquarius ♒︎ in the natal chart

Public Life: Having your Midheaven point in the natal chart in the sign of Aquarius indicates a public persona that is unique, quirky, and possibly quite bizarre. You enjoy playing to your tastes often giving little mind to what other people think of you. Not necessarily a life of fame or prominence you desire to live authentically. You figure out the game of life quite early on and are open to experimentation of different lifestyles throughout your life journey. 

Career Possibilities: Some career possibilities for a person with this placement include computer programer, website developer, or a scientist of any variety. You often have a very technical mind, enjoying work with concrete tasks but also meaning. Other careers that would suit you well include humanitarian work, radio host, digital nomad, astrologer, movie director, artist, engineer, political activist or organizer, professor, science fiction writer, social worker, and community education or outreach. 

Ruling Planet: The ruling planet of your Aquarius Midheaven is Uranus. This implies that you may have a round about way of arriving at a career path. You may choose to travel the world extensively instead of saving up a retirement fund in a traditional job. This placement allows for you to be inventive with your public persona or career path.

The 10th house in astrology is symbolic of your life in the public’s eye and your career path. This area of the chart is symbolic of the authorities in your life; parents, bosses, and leaders. It shows you how your relationship with your parents has played out and how easily you accept or reject authority in your life. The 10th house is where we meet or defy expectations for our career, family, and achievements. This house is also related to notoriety and legacy. 

The 10th house is allowing you to better understand the dynamics of power and control. At times we exert little control over what the world or others think of us. We can construct our identity but often the person we are trying to portray is clouded by the worlds view of us. The 10th house is giving you the opportunity to take ownership of your career, who you want to be, and what you want people to remember about you.
