Why Your Midheaven Matters More Than Your Degree

Forget everything you know about degrees and traditional career paths. The secret to never feeling like you never have to work again lies in your Midheaven.

BTW – If you don’t know what your MC sign is, then you’re missing out. Book a 1:1 call with me and we’ll get that sorted out.

Unlike your job title or degree, which can change over time, your Midheaven reveals the essence of your purpose. It’s not just what you do, it’s who you’re becoming in the public eye. Your Midheaven isn’t about job titles, no. It’s about the energy you’re here to embody, the reputation you should be embodying. It’s like your career north star.

For example, you might have studied law but if your MC is in Sagittarius then your soul might crave freedom, teaching, or international work, or you practice law by fighting for freedom in the world. A Libra Midheaven who studied law may negotiate with charm and strategy. An Aries Midheaven might fight like a warrior in court. Same degree. Wildly different paths. So we can see here that your Midheaven sign is the filter for how you naturally excel.

Your Midheaven sign shows how you’re meant to pursue success. It adds texture to your purpose. So, two people with the same job can express it completely differently depending on their MC sign. This is the missing piece for people who feel like they’re in the right industry, but something’s just… off.

A CEO with a Capricorn MC might focus on structure, legacy, and long-term growth. A CEO with a Leo MC? They’re probably front and centre, driven by creativity and recognition. With a Scorpio MC you’re the CEO who thrives in power dynamics and a Gemini MC is the face of a movement, not a cubicle.

A degree gives you tools, sure, but it doesn’t tell you how to use them in a way that lights you up. That’s what your Midheaven sign is for. It’s like getting a map of the terrain you’re meant to explore. You can have all the qualifications in the world, but if they’re not aligned with your MC energy, you’ll probably feel stuck, bored, or burned out. Your degree taught you what to do. Your Midheaven tells you why it matters. Your degree got you in the door and your Midheaven builds the empire.

If you’re questioning your path, start with your Midheaven. You don’t need to throw your degree away, but you do need to align your ambition with your astrology. That’s when things click.
