Juno Aspects the Mid-Heaven: Aspects to the Mid-Heaven affect one's career and "public image." Juno-ruled careers include marriage councilor and people who work in organizations that try to prevent wife-battering and child abuse. Like Venus, Juno has an attraction for all occupations that involve beauty and adornment. This also includes anything involving the arts. When it comes to career, it doesn't matter if an aspect to the Mid-Heaven is harmonious or stressful. In fact, the stressful aspects can frequently bring greater success since they generate more power. Those with harmonious aspects may take it too easy and not push hard enough.

Pottenger similarly regards both the Vertex and the West Point (or Equatorial Descendant) as being akin to auxiliary descendants, showing the emotions and experiences sought through close personal relationships, and the qualities that one is inclined to project onto others, unconsciously seeking their expression in them. In the case of the Vertex especially, she perceives this projection mechanism as externalising responsibility for a part of one's own self, and tending to attract the characteristics of this ceded part in others in exaggerated form.

Donna Henson, citing Delphine Jay as a source, additionally characterises the Vertex as showing how one is perceived by others on the basis of one's past actions and one's personality, as indicated by the Midheaven and Ascendant; and what others expect one to do, with positive self-development rewards to be reaped if one succeeds in doing this, and negative consequences for personal integration if one fails.

"Positive self-development rewards" - Im guessing the trine would be the most gifted 4 this = Perceived well in the greater world [MC] due to past actions, perhaps?

Here's something else

***Special points in your chart***

Midheaven - This is the same as the cusp of your tenth house. The Midheaven refers to how we rise and fall in life, our social position and our orientation to our family, culture and history.

Vertex - A point in our chart were we tend to feel out of control. It is a place where we easily give ourselves over to something beyond the scope of our own life.

What is your opinion on how to view this?

"Vertex - A point in our chart were we tend to feel out of control. It is a place where we easily give ourselves over to something beyond the scope of our own life."

Regarding this definition, and applying it to a conj to Mars, Im somewhat clueless.. But here's what I found on the 'net:

quote:

---

Mars conjunct Vertex.
The unexpected will involve you in a torrid or violent situation where your strong emotions take you over and you or the other person lose self restraint.

---

This is sounding more like an amplified version of Mars conj DC. Then combine it w/the environment of whatever house they fall into since most likely it's the same. Im sure the influence wouldnt be as strong since its out of sign, tho thats my op on aspects.

Libra: In this lifetime, the individual will be drawn into learning how to bridge opposing factions, to mediate compromises, to restore fairness and to bring harmony out of conflicting issues in order to re-establish peace and order. Because the anti-vertex is in Aries, the individual must not allow personal desires to influence the situation. The individual must not take sides or impose the personal ego. The need is to detach the self, make no judgments and establish harmony that would benefit the whole rather than any specific individuals.

Thanks for your thought on my Vertex. The excerpt on that Vertex/Mars aspect is not far from my experience. Yikes!

Salisa -

Arnicka got that interp on the Vertex aspect from a site which did a sample reading on Adolf Hitler. It does NOT include bunches of other aspects, it just happened to be that the Vertex aspect I was asking about was in that sample reading :::

You asked what House this Vetex/Mars aspect is in - my 6th. Mercury is 8 Degrees from my Vertex too. I like REALLY tight orbs, so I don't take it as a strong Conj, but it's also in the 6th. Seems to be even more emphasis on my health. Stuff for me to think about.

Azalaksh -

Thanks for that link.
