Ok this was "inspired" by the topic that Belgz just opened.
I've been also thinking about this for quite a while..but never really posted anything.

Anyway...I've been reading about the Midheaven, and it seems to me that the traditional things it represents are career, public face, etc..
I was wondering if anyone else ever felt that the Midheaven is actually more important than it's been made up to be. I feel extremely identified with the sign it falls in (Aquarius), much more than with my asc (which by the way I don't feel it describes me at all). I don't have anything else in aquarius and I don't have much uranus influence (if any)
I don't think that my chart looks like a freedom loving person, however you wouldn't believe how much I love it, and it's the first thing people notice about me: how "free" I am, (also a bit of an airhead) hehe.
The only way I feel I "represent" my sun/moon/asc (can/cap/taurus) is when I say I like to be at home, I need a lot of space, and when I get a bit depressed (but that could also be my Moon sq. Saturn)

I really don't want to make this post about me, but I'd like to know if anyone else feels as identified by the MC as I do, and what do you think it?
Also, I'm also very new to astrology, so I apologize if it sounds very "basic".. also English isnt my first language so sorry for any grammatical/spellings :P

Uranian Astrologers focus a lot on the MC.

Anyway, I have a Pisces MC (4 Pisces), I also have Venus in Pisces (29 Pisces). I'm not sure if I really identify with it.

Why is everyone so hung up on being "free" all of a sudden? First of all, that word is so ambiguous, freedom can mean so many things. Second of all, I don't think anyone HATES freedom.

Free and freedom are a better word to use but I think when people ask they mean involuntarily free. People who ask they often want to be in a relationship.

I think freedom is finding out who you are and then being courageous enough to express it.
For me, both parts are very hard. The harder one is finding out who I am cuz I find it very painful to look at my bad parts lol.

i like the idea of MC being pronounced because I have a swarm of planets around it...

We all live more or less withing the frame of rules our society forces upon us. Freedom is on the decline, more and more world is becoming a small place where we can't run from our past and/or mistakes. It;s a shame there isn't really a fresh start anymore

I have some Sag and no Aqua. I work hard as hell to be able to earn money and make choices in my life. And I don't consider that any more or less Freedom loving . It's just what it is. I choose constraints and sacrifices now for sake of a happier tomorrow

Uranian Astrologers and Cosmobiologists focus on the Midheaven as the following:

authority and prominence, in particular to the career, the ego-consciousness and spiritual awareness, the aim in life,the brain proper

In the Midheaven, all of the energies of the individual are brought together in a certain method. The Midheaven is not only the cusp of the tenth house, but also the point at which the real inner existence and spiritual direction in our lives is found.

Cosmobiologists and Uranian Astrologers don't use the houses like we do. Therefore,they don't focus on the Midheaven as the 10th house cusp and as career like Mainstream Astrologers do.

Also the Midheaven is not the 10th house cusp in both Equal Sign house system and Whole Sign House system.
Midheaven can be conjunct or opposite the Ascendant. It can even be located in the bottom half of the chart.

My Midheaven is in Gemini, but I don't really relate to it except for an emphasis on communications

I have the following aspects to my Midheaven

wide conjunct Saturn - discipline,structure,realism
(Saturn is in a Gauquelin sector with it being in the 9th and less than 10 degrees from the Midheaven..in my case, it's less than 7 degrees... and so it's a strongly placed in the chart)

oppose Jupiter - expansion,philosophy,optimism

trine/sextile Lunar Nodes - connections,associations

trine Uranus - unconventional,change,innovation

biquintile Sun - ego,self expression,vitality

minor planets:

conjunct major asteroid Pallas in Right Ascension - creative intelligence,pattern recognition, social politics

trine Dwarf planet Pluto in Right Ascension - Transformation,regeneration,elimination,nonconformist,evolutionary intensified lessons,experiences

trine Hygeia (big asteroid) - health,hygeine

square transneptunian Dwarf planet Haumea - fertility,creativity,regeneration,nonconformist,evolutionary intensified lessons/experiences

sextile transneptunian Dwarf planet Eris - diversity,equality,nonconformist,evolutionary intensified lessons/experience

sextile centaur Chiron - healing,teaching,nonconformist

sextile centaur Asbolus - divination,nonconformist

biquintile transneptunian dwarf planet candidate Ixion - second chances, matters dealing with gratitude,nonconformist,evolutionary intensified lessons/experiences

parallel asteroid dwarf planet Ceres - nurturing,food

Nodes of objects:

conjunct/oppose Heliocentric and Geocentric transneptunian dwarf planet Ixion Nodes - collective second chances,matters involving gratitude,nonconformist,evolutionary intensified lessons/experiences

oppose Geocentric South Uranus Node - collective unconventional,change,innovation

sextile/trine Heliocentric Neptune Nodes - collective inspiration,imagination,compassion

Excellent info, Glaucus!

I identify with my MC. It is probably because my Moon is exactly conjunct it (MC).

Freedom has nothing to do with being in a relationship. It's more of a state of mind. It doesn't equal fidelity or lack thereof, that's loyalty and fidelity.

I've always thought the MC was hugely important, especially transits to it.

LOL freedom is only in one's head!! haha hilarious. It's a perception. A jailed man could be freer than all of us if his mindset is free.

I love it when people perceive themselves as 'free' and then they talk about boundaries and boxes, metaphorically

As for MC, it is very important methinks.

'I identify with my MC. It is probably because my Moon is exactly conjunct it (MC). "


That would seem like a very strong lunar influence, and so Cancerians have nothing on you. The Moon is so very prominent in your chart. It's like your very soul.


so lunar things like emotions,feelings,fluctuations,sensitivity,intuition,nurturing,women,dreams,unconscious would be highly major theme in your life


also

with you being born in the Southern Hemisphere, I was wondering if you can relate to Sun in Pisces


The tropical zodiac is based on the northern hemisphere seasons, but you were born in the southern hemisphere. Therefore, I do wonder if you can relate to the Sun in Pisces traits.

Some astrologers flip the tropical zodiac signs to accommodate for people born in the southern hemisphere.

I can't say that I identify with Pisces. I am too messy for a Virgo, although I do have some OCD tendencies. I am compassionate most of the times, but I will have to think more of this Pisces thing.

I must say though, that my chart describes me pretty well. There aren't many, if any, things that I'd say I don't feel or relate to, when it comes to the placements in my chart.

I have Pluto(chart ruler) conjunct MC in Leo.
If I am not true to myself I get sick--emotionally and physically.
That is how I got sick.
When I was younger--I did not compromise my values for anyone.
I lost my group of friends because of it but I was ok cuz I knew I had my values and my values made me "me"
They were my identity--my anchor.
When I lost my way--I gave up that inner sense of compass and inner sense of my own power.
I might be wrong cuz I am new to Astrology but I think a strong Pluto like this would not allow me to weenie out of what I believed without exacting a price.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
I have an awesome regard for Pluto--natal, synastry, transit.
Mr Pluto will get his way and not like a gentleman

I consciously most identify with the planets at my MC- Neptune and my Venus/Uranus conjunction. I am also very aware of my Chiron which is in opposition to my MC. I also have an exact Merc semisquare to my MC and exact sextile of Mars to my MC that I also feel pretty readily, although certainly not as much as the conjunctions and opposition. My NN is also exactly square my MC, not sure what that one means though? Other planetary configurations in my chart seem to be a part of a fabric of myself that I can acknowledge if pointed out but am not necessarily consciously aware of everyday. I also feel like I tend to seek out experiences that are linked to the planets at my MC, so I certainly agree with Glaucus's post on it being the "real inner existence and spiritual direction in our lives."

Hi Raymond,
I have MC in Scorpio and Uranus in Scorpio. Could you tell me something this placement?

Also I was curious about MC in Synastry: specifically
my Pluto conjunct someone's MC
my Jupiter conjunct their MC.

I think a lot of people are taking the word "free" with a way deeper and more philosophical meaning of what I intended to.
If I was going to be "deep", then I wouldn't even ask a question regarding REAL freedom as, I think it doesn't exist.
What I meant by "free" was: hating a 9 to 5 job, not wanting to be tied down to the point of not wanting to form a family, loving to meet new people, new scenaries, travelling, etc etc...I can't think of a better word that, superficially, describes that, so I chose 'freedom'. My bad.

Anyway, I just put that as an example as I thought it'd be easier to make my point.

Glaucus, that's awesome information. I'll try to find some more information about Uranian and Cosmobiologist astrology. I knew it existed but I didn't really know what it was about.
I was also born in the Southern Hemisphere, so I wonder if that has something to do with it.

Hm. I would probably be severely depressed if I worked a 9 to 5. I don't like being scheduled. I also don't really want kids because they tie you down too much. I don't mind marriage, though.

This probably has little to do with my MC. Except for the marriage thing, MC ruler is in 7th.
