Have you ever wondered what you've come to do in this world? Perhaps astrology can give you that much-desired answer. Midheaven is a cardinal point in your birth chart that tells astrologists around the world the life mission of their askers. Find out about the sign of your midheaven, and be a little less restless tonight.
What's midheaven?
Midheaven is the sign on the highest point of the horizon at the time of your birth; that is, the sign ruling over the peak of House X.
House X is your professional career, public life, and regarding midheaven, our vocation as well. It also tells us about innate skills, and the potential that can grow in our lives. Finally, it points out what makes us feel rewarded and motivated.
Other issues it deals with are reputation, the quickness in social improvement, and other ways through which we make progress. Is it through constant effort, like it happens with a Capricorn midheaven, or thanks to our niceness and willingness to help, such as Cancer? The sign where this essential cardinal point lies will give us important clues.
Midheaven in no way decides what we'll be, but it does give us guidelines about the possibilities of growth. It points out to a pathway where we can find ultimate success if we pay enough attention.
This point also talks about spiritual work. Indeed, success at work oftentimes comes along with the right focus on our beliefs and the way we see the world. But ultimately, it's all about how to make our spirit grow through the help of others, and making contributions to society with our unique collaboration.
How to calculate it
Midheaven can be found when we calculate a natal chart, inputting all data into one of the many online programs already available. There's barely anyone who performs calculations by hand, it's too easy to go wrong in one of the operations!
Once our natal chart is calculated, it is pointed out straight away on which sign does the cardinal point fall (located in House X or 10). However, if it's hard for us to locate midheaven on a drawn astral chart, we should imagine the chart being crossed through by the cardinal points of north, south, east and west. Then, midheaven would be the northern cardinal point, at the peak of the vertical axis.
We can also create punctual astral charts to know how current planet transitions affect us in regards to a specific situation. In astral charts, we can see how planet transition occurs and the way it influences our midheaven, and whether those energies collaborate or hinder the achievement of our set goals.
Midheaven in zodiac signs
Now that we know how to calculate midheaven and its location on a natal or astral chart, it's time to know the zodiac sign of the midheaven where it falls, because it'll be decisive for our professional and spiritual fate.
Midheaven in Aries
In this position, there's an active search for leadership and adventure. Whatever your job is, you should try to aim for something that tests all your inner resources. If you can, make it outside an office building, always keep moving. You need to watch out and avoid being too blunt, because there's a tendency to follow goals with too much passion, as bad as it sounds. You need to make a conscious effort to work on your spirituality, Aries, because you tend to be materialistic.

Language is highly promoted and the mind is constantly moving for you, Gemini, so this midheaven is geared towards goals connected with communications or the world of public relations. The problem is, you tend to disperse your energy into too many emotions; but once you know what you want, your midheaven will shine bright like a diamond.
Midheaven in Cancer
A great sense of protection and sensitivity make your Cancer midheaven aim for jobs where caring and feeling sympathy for others is essential. Jobs related to medicine or teaching are highly common. Providing for and satisfying others' needs is very important.

Midheaven in Libra
A highly versatile midheaven that can work on anything their heart desires. Still, Libra, you need to know that the human factor is crucial. You seek to develop beauty in life, although you're running the risk of being slightly shallow. Jobs connected to fashion and etiquette are your main passion.
Midheaven in Scorpio
Regardless of your chosen job or pathway, you'll get to the bottom of it. You're very talented and can make your hobbies your full-time job. With a Scorpio Midheaven, you're interested in professions in the world of psychology, because spiritual work is innate to you.

The constant search for truth is your main midheaven trait, Sagittarius. You'll relentlessly pursue whatever discoveries that make you see life for what it really is. Optimism and curiosity will often lead you to go on long trips around the world, whether for business or pleasure to know more about life.
Midheaven in Capricorn
The way up might be slow but it is safe, as it is the case of any earthy sign. However, dedication here is bordering on otherworldly.

You need to stop being so harsh to your loved ones.
Midheaven in Aquarius
Teamwork is your biggest satisfaction. With an Aquarius midheaven, you'll always become involved in social causes and tend to favour spiritual growth, no matter what your job is.

Midheaven in Pisces
Here, spiritual evolution takes the most important, even before professional growth. If you have a Pisces Midheaven and choose to follow your life mission, you're most likely to work on an artistic career, because inspiration quota is at an all-time high. Your ability to sympathise and connect with others is a precious tool that can turn against you, so you need to learn to disconnect from other people's issues.
