What is my Midheaven sign?
Your Midheaven sign is the sign on your 10th house cusp, the point that was culminating overhead at the minute you were born. It moves through all twelve signs every 24 hours, so it comes from your birth time and place, not your birth date. Enter both and the calculator returns the sign and its exact degree, then the planet that rules that sign and the house where it sits, which is where your ambition is actually aimed.
The Midheaven and the 10th house
In Placidus and most quadrant house systems the Midheaven is the cusp of the 10th house, so asking what house your Midheaven is in has a fixed answer: the 10th, the house of career, reputation and public role. The useful question is the sign on it and the planet that rules that sign. This calculator gives you both, plus the house that ruling planet occupies, so you can read where the 10th house theme draws its energy from in the rest of your chart.
Questions
What is the Midheaven (MC) in astrology?
The Midheaven, or Medium Coeli (MC), is the highest point in your birth chart and the cusp of your 10th house. It represents your career direction, life calling, public reputation, and how the world sees you. Its sign describes the style of your ambition, and its ruling planet reveals where that ambition is best aimed.
How do I calculate my Midheaven sign?
Your Midheaven depends on your exact birth time and location, not just your birth date, because it is tied to the point directly overhead at the moment you were born. Enter your date, time, and city above and the calculator returns your MC sign, its precise degree, and the planet that rules it.
What does my Midheaven ruler say about my career?
The planet that rules your Midheaven sign shows where your career energy actually flows. By reading that planet's sign and house placement, you can see which life area to pour effort into — your calling gains momentum when you chase the themes of that house rather than chasing status for its own sake.
