Midheaven (MC) in Aquarius, Midheaven (MC) in the 5th House

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.

5th House

Keywords: The keywords associated with the 5th house include love affairs, romance, sex, sexuality, creativity, art, dating, play, playfulness, children, spontaneity, fun, diversity, and the spotlight. 

Succedent House Type: The Succedent house type is ruled by a fixed sign. Leo is the fixed fire sign ruling the 5th house. 

The 5th house in astrology is symbolic of creativity, sexuality, and children. The reason all of these themes come together in the 5th house is due to the fact that they all of them are related to making or creating something outside of oneself. Creativity brings forth something new and imaginative. Your relationship to sexuality or how you express your sexuality can be a creative act or viewed as the reproductive act that creates babies. 

Having an emphasis of planets or lack of planets in the 5th house speaks more to what you make and create in life and less literally to how many children you will or will not have. When you are playing in the 5th house it is all about finding your creative spark, what enlivens you, and how you can bring your true identity forward. 

The focus of the 5th house is what unique experience do you want to share with others, what makes you special. The 5th house is also associated with affairs, flings, and romance due to the playful and often spontaneous nature of this area of the chart.
