Midheaven
Midheaven: direction in work and what a person is publicly visible for
What it means
The Midheaven is the highest point of the ecliptic at birth. It governs direction in career and public visibility, and marks the start of the tenth house.
In balance
Clear goal, recognition for real work
Out of balance
Career instead of meaning, dependence on status
What this object is
completes the whole circle in a day together with the Ascendant
The Midheaven is often confused with the zenith. The zenith is the point directly overhead the observer, while the Midheaven is the ecliptic point at the top of the chart. Like the Ascendant, it completes a full circle in a day.
How to read in your chart
The Midheaven sign indicates how a person wants to be recognised, the ruling planet shows how they achieve it. Aspects to the Midheaven reveal what assists and what hinders in the matter.
