MC
sign calculator

The Midheaven (MC) is the highest point of your chart — your public face: what you stand for when others look at you, and the direction your career and life path point in. It depends on the exact time and place of your birth.

Without time we cannot compute ascendant or houses.

For the MC we need your date, time and place.

How it works

Three steps to your MC

  1. Enter your birth data

    MC is an angle — for that we need your date, time and birthplace.

  2. Calculate the position

    We use the Swiss Ephemeris engine — the same calculation base professional astrology software runs on. Arc-second accuracy, free.

  3. Read the interpretation

    You instantly see your sign — plus a clear explanation of what it says about you, and a link to the matching interpretation.

MC — frequently asked questions

Do I need my birth time for the MC?
Yes. The MC is an angle and depends directly on the exact time and place of your birth. Without an accurate birth time (and place) it cannot be determined.
What does my MC sign say about me?
Your MC sign shows how MC expresses itself in your chart. Enter your birth date, find your sign, and read the full interpretation below.
Is the MC calculator free?
Yes. The calculator is completely free and needs no sign-up. We only ask for your email when you want to connect the result to your full birth chart.
