Midheaven Energy: What Industry are You Best Aligned With? Astrology for Career Series

The Birth Chart

At CVH, the first step toward career alignment using astrology involves knowing and understanding your birth chart as a whole. Saying "my Midheaven is ____ , so this is the job I should pursue" won't cut it! There is always more to it. Our method is to examine a variety of specific energies in your birth chart and align your actions with them - this will put you on track with the career energetics that best align with you.

Midheaven Energetics

As I mentioned on the podcast, your Midheaven indicates the general field or industry where your energy will be most effective and/or received. However, it doesn't speak to the specific contributions you could make, your work ethic, how to excel in that field, or where additional effort might be necessary (those aspects are determined by other placements in your chart which we will discuss over the next months on the pod and here). It is the highest point in your birth chart and determines the energy of your chart where public recognition and career success may be more likely.
