(Bernice Grebner)
First Decanate (Aries-Aries): This can give arguments or friction with authoritative figures. They try to find their place in a vocation and it should be something martial, mechanics, engineering, military or some profession connectied with driving. They need to show the public how good they are as a leader in some type of vocation. It can give the ability to be a business pioneer in a new type of venture.
With Libra-Libra on the nadir, this person needs a parter to live with in a home that will be artfully decorated. The partner will show a conservative tendency and the native will choose to share the high ambitions of his / her mate. A woman with this placement may choose a partner who treats her as a father would. If a man, he will choose someone to mother him.
Second Decanate (Aries-Leo): This position gives them great mental stimulation in the vocational area and those who can become very egotistical because of their success. They have great dramatic ability whether for entertaining on the stage or in swaying the public in the business life by being sensitive to the public needs.
With Libra-Aquarius on the nadir, these people are solicitous to the family and very home-loving. They do not like to live alone but feel comfortable, warm and safe with someone to share their beautiful homes (which must be beautiful). However, behind all this they have original ideas about sexual freedom and its power to rejuvenate their lives.
Third Decanate (Aries-Sagittarius): This gives executive talent in a career. They are able to reach the top because they are willing to project and use their energy and work very hard. They serve tirelessly toward a goal. There is a talent for realizing proper legal procedures by a kind of instinct which can be made even better by becoming educated in some form of law, no matter what the actual vocation.
With Libra-Gemini on the nadir, they want homes very much but can't make up their minds where they want their homes to be. They need precisely the proper environment, but can't seem to find it. They may seem peaceful and quiet but they are not. They have a deep unconscious dissatisfaction that they cannot explain. They can tell you interesting facts and not really know how they know them.
(Frances Sakoian and Louis Acker)
These people must work hard in their professions, and they channel an immense amount of energy to their jobs. They are impulsive in matters concerning work and public reputation. If they are employed, they can easily by hurt by harsh or unfair treatment of those in authority.
With Libra on the 4th house cusp, they cultivate art, beauty, and refinement in the home and are emotionally attached to their household objects. They consider the family a partnership and insist on strict justice and fairness for all members; otherwise emotional problems arise that will put everything out of balance and affect the peace of the household.
(Jeanne Avery) Mars rules the 10th house when Aries is on its cups. Mars is the planet of action, determinaton, drive, and ambition. It is indicative of the pioneering spirit. If Mars is well-aspected in the natal chart, a sense of competition will spur the individual on to an innovative way of handling career activities. his natural energy will be directed toward a career situation which requires drive and determination to succeed. He will naturally be attracted to areas where competition is possible. He will enjoy a good fight with competitors equally talented or capable as he. A challenge will stimulate him to do bigger and better things with his energy. He will enjoy spending time discovering innovative ways to handle certain matters and will be quite resourceful when it comes to his public life and career. Much of the ability to handle this kind of ambition comes from the relationship with the parent of the same sex. There can be a kind of healthy competition with this parent which programs him to be ready for the challenges ahead. He can photograph this parent as energetic, ambitious, determined, and a fiighter. This will naturally make it 'okay' for him to use the same kind of energy in his own career. If, however, he has photographed that parent as frustrated, angry, and impatient, he may have difficulty in releasing his own angry energy in a creative manner.
Mars is the planet that rules sex as well as highly creative energy. If that energy is turned inward it becomes frustration, impatience, and anger. Much of the ability to release the sexual, creative energy has to do with subliminal parent messages about the energy. If there was guilt on the part of the parent about his own drives and sexual energy, the child, too, will feel guilty. If that parent gave good encouraging messages to the child about directing that creative energy, the individual will have no trouble finding a career that utilizes his ambitious, directed sexual energy in a good way. No matter what kind of messages he received, there is a likeihood that frustration with the slow pace of career situations can sometimes occur. It is in this area that the native with this Midheaven sign is most impatient.
It is toward career matters or public life that he will direct much of his sexual energy, however. If his career is not challenging enough, he will find that an active social life can keep him calm and more patient. He will probably enjoy dancing or some sort of physical activity in connection with his social life. If he is in a career situation that is especially frustrating, he is liable to use up some of that excess energy in less than healthy ways. Mars energy can indicate a tendency to fight, drink too much, rebel.
In a positive, sense, Mars indicates being 'first' in career matters, a pioneer. The person with Mars on the MC needs to be free to show his resourcefulness in the career arena. If he is in business for himself, he will do away with many of the frustrations he would ordinarily have with employers and bosses. If he was frustrated in his relationship with the parent of the same sex, he will allow himself to stay in a frustrated career situation. Actors with this Midheaven fnid a natural release just by being involved in a competitive business. Recognition comes through the willingness to take chances and pave the way for others. High creative ability is possible with a better direction of energy.
With Libra on the IC, the trying time for this person is in childhood. Once the individual has worked past oversensitivity and overly emotional reactions to make contact with his particular abilities, it appears that he allows himself to have beauty and love in his life. Venus is one of the planets that is called a 'benefic'. It indicates love, beauty, art, ease of living, and social matters. The parent of the opposite sex is photographed as a loving person, perhaps artistic. This is the parent that the individual loves and adores. If Venus is well aspected in the chart, the love flows easily between the child and the parent, but if Venus is not well-aspected, the child may have photographed the parent as copping out for the sake of peace and easy living, or one who avoids making waves in life, taking the easy way out, or being overly diplomatic.
The person with Libra IC is so invested in his home that you can be assured it will be a place of beauty and color, as well as ease and comfort. He will certainly love his home and will surround himself with the kind of environment that will provide the right atmosphere for his nurturing instincts. Color is especially essential for the sensitive nature of this person, who must have peace and harmony, love and affection at hom to restore his emotional balance. Often the attunement to public tastes and sense of color and decor can lead this person to interior design.
If Venus is badly aspected, the individual with this IC may not put effort into beautifying his home. He may not realize how sensitive he is to environment and color. The very shades of the spectrum of color can affect his emotional state at any given time. If he is depressed, it can be important that he surround himself with bright colors - yellows, oranges, greens, and vivid shades. If he tends toward brown, gray, and black, he is only making it harder to pull himself out of his emotional rut. Examination of the relationship with the parent of the opposite sex can give him special clues as to the kind of environment he chooses, and why. He may tend to be easygoing and more peaceful when he is at home, even inclining toward laziness. This is where he wants to let down, desiring peace and harmony more than anything. He goes to his home when he is in a vulnerable state, to restore himself. Venusian activities occupy him there - cooking, painting, and social activities in general. He becomes more diplomatic as he grows older, being inclined toward peacemaking, social justice, and finding balance. Love and affection seem assured in later life. He may have problems and lessons to be learned in those areas early in his life; but as he works past emotions he comes to the understanding of love in a different way.
