The Midheaven (MC) shows your public identity, career direction, reputation, and how you will be seen in the outer world during the year. The sign it is in shows how you will engage with your goals and visibility. It’s not a replacement for your natal MC, but a temporary filter that shapes how your public role unfolds. When a planet is conjunct the Midheaven, its themes are magnified and impossible to ignore.
