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.

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.

The basics

What the MC is

Your public peak

The MC (Medium Coeli, "midheaven") is the highest point of your chart and the cusp of the 10th house. It stands for your public role, your vocation, your reputation and what you’re known for. Like the Ascendant it’s a calculated angle — for that you need your birth time.

Reading your MC

Your MC sign colours how you show up professionally and what status or legacy you aim for. An earthy MC builds calmly and steadily, a fiery MC leads visibly and boldly. Opposite the MC sits the IC — your roots and private home. Together they form the axis between "who you are in public" and "where you come from".
