Career In Astrology: The Secrets Of The Midheaven (Part Two: Libra To Pisces).
Welcome to your destiny..
The Midheaven or the sign on the cusp of the 10th house plays an essential role in shaping and refining our destiny. The sign on the cusp and its ruler speak to our natural abilities and interests which in turn shape our calling.
It’s easy to look at career as just our jobs or income, however it has a deeper meaning to our souls. The 10th house cusp or Midheaven speaks to our need to leave behind a lasting legacy and be of help to others around us. This is not to dismiss the need for making a good, stable income, but to highlight that career is rooted in our need to have a mission that transcends a job.
Many of us have held jobs before where we might have not found meaning and it has caused perhaps more confusion than help. On the other hand, it is important to note that “purpose” which is represented by the 10th house is different for people and could mean a bigger or different mission than a career in its traditional sense.
To better understand the midheaven, we have to look at the IC or the cusp of the 4th house. The 4th house represents our childhood, rearing and the base of our sky. It opposes the 10th house, so they build on each other and are foundations of what we would like to achieve as the 10th house Vs where we would find meaning, comfort and community as the 4th house.
But first, if you’re not familiar with signs and their rulers, let’s take a quick moment to catch up:
Aries and Scorpio are ruled by Mars
Taurus and Libra are ruled by Venus
Gemini and Virgo are ruled by Mercury
Cancer is ruled by the moon
Leo is ruled by The Sun
Sagittarius and Pisces are ruled by Jupiter
Capricorn and Aquarius are ruled by Saturn
Side note: Scorpio is co-ruled by Pluto, Aquarius is co-ruled by Uranus and Pisces is co-ruled by Neptune)
Now, you might have noticed that almost every planet rules two signs which may give the appearance that the function of these signs will be similar and to that, we say: Not really!
