Midheaven Calculator
Your Midheaven, or MC, is the highest point of your chart and points to your career, public reputation, and life direction. Like the rising sign, it needs an exact birth time.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Midheaven (MC)?
The Midheaven, or Medium Coeli (MC), is the point at the very top of your chart — the cusp of the tenth house. It represents your career, public role, reputation, and the direction you are growing toward.
Why does the Midheaven need an exact birth time?
The Midheaven is one of the four angles of the chart and shifts continuously as the Earth rotates, changing sign roughly every two hours. Without an accurate birth time, the MC sign cannot be calculated reliably.
How is the Midheaven different from my sun sign?
Your sun sign is your core identity; your Midheaven is about your outer life — career, status, and how the world sees your achievements. Together they describe who you are and where you are headed.
