The Midheaven is at the tip of the sky chart. The MC tells us the highest point, it stands as a direction. By definition it is the most important point, it represents the social realization of the individual. It is also called House X, it characterizes destiny in general. In astrology the Midheaven is not always well assimilated or understood, the reason? Nobody knows it. It is associated with the professional, the profession, the career, the ascension, the social fulfillment, the success and the power, even if most often it is the ascending sign that will determine the profession. In analogy House X is connected to the sign of Capricorn (earth sign). It corresponds to the mother in a masculine theme, and vice versa, to the father in a feminine theme.

The actions of the Midheaven represent the way and the capacity we must free ourselves from the heavy baggage that life imposes on us. House X pushes us to achieve a specific goal. Because of the education he has received and according to his condition of life, the person, lacking a marker, will act under influence and unconsciously. The individual having a dominant House X is egocentric. He has a strong tendency to put himself forward also as regards the professional field that personal. He knows how to extol his merits, he stands out from the others, he does everything for the good of humanity. From the moment the subject finds his place in society, he accomplishes beautiful things which gives him the opportunity to shine in society.
