The Midheaven (MC) is a fundamental, but rarely examined, point in the horoscope. As the most elevated angle of the chart, it is the area associated with success, achievement and recognition. As part of the MC/IC axis, it has much to say about our reputation and public image as well as early parental messages and our psychological inheritance. Our MC reveals the ways in which we can contribute meaningfully to the world around us, while the IC shows that which might drive us unconsciously or areas we are prone to ignore. The challenge of the MC/IC axis is to grow and become our own construct (MC) without putting the past in the shade (IC). In this absorbing volume, astrologer, teacher and consultant Frank Clifford offers many original insights from his years of research into: the signs on the MC/IC; aspects from the planets; and the ways in which the MC works with the Sun and Ascendant signs.
