The Ascendant and Midheaven in the 12 signs
Midheaven (MC) in Aquarius
Tropical zodiac, Western astrology
Your career concerns innovation, technology, social work, community or anything progressive and different. Your public image is of an out-of-the-box, independent person who looks to the future. You work best with freedom of thought and shared goals. The challenge is friction with the system or people in authority, and frequent changes of field. Build allies who see the same picture, and your forward ideas can really change what is around you.
The Four Angles
The angles are the four most sensitive points of a chart. They come from your exact birth time and place, which is why a chart without a birth time cannot show them. They are drawn as the cross that divides the wheel.
Aquarius at a glance
- Element
- Air
- Modality
- Fixed
Aquarius is fixed air. Its traditional ruler is Saturn and its modern ruler Uranus, a blend of principle and surprise. With the Sun here, you stand a little apart in order to see the whole, and you tend to think in systems, futures and shared causes. Your ideas can be original, and your loyalty to your own convictions is firm. You are friendly yet unwilling to be pinned down, a person who belongs to groups on your own terms.
