Natal Midheaven in Leo

(Bernice Grebner)

First Decanate (Leo-Leo): In some way they tremendous talent for self-expression of some kind would be the best way of making a name in the business world. The drive for ego satisfaction will be best served when expressing and communicating ideas, if not on a broad scale then within the community. There is no end to endurance when reaching for the top.

With Aquarius-Aquarius on the nadir, there are sudden changes in the home life. It is conducive to unconventional attitudes about the domestic scene. They will want to be free from being too committed to a home or family. This 4th house position makes them more liberal than most others in their generation. They easily renew themselves and can break clean of anything with ease and start over again from their roots.

Second Decanate (Leo-Sagittarius): Don't be surprised if vocations are connected with the need to do long-distance travelling. They have great integrity with their life's work and honesty in making their income. They want to earn a goodly sum and eventually do just that, but more than that they want work to mean something even after they have departed from this life. They have a dream and must strive for it.

With Aquarius-Gemini on the nadir, they are not what they seem to be. Fate seems to split them from family ties through one reason or another. This person may end the last days on earth having more than one home where time is spent. They rejuvenate and renew themselves through expressions and may be 'word-o-holics'. If they could not express themselves they could not break free from emotional or mental restrictions caused by the family members or domestic affairs.

Third Decanate (Leo-Aries): This position needs to be a leader in a chosen vocation, and will back up this desire with hard work. The person needs creative challenges in a vocation and will need to do something on his own rather than working with a team. If Leo-Aries on this cusp is associated with the entertainment field or work with children, he can be at his best.

With Aquarius-Libra on the nadir, home conditions may be more unconventional than average, or there may be upsetting domestic situations. The marriage partnership may involve a secret alliance one of them has, or there may be something one keeps from the other because he or she will not understand.

(Frances Sakoian and Louis Acker)

With Leo on the tenth house cusp, natives are ambitious in their professions and proud of their standing in the community. They often achieve positions of leadership and authority, and are admired for their accomplishments.

With Aquarius on the fourth house cusp, the home environment is unusual and distinctive. As a rule, there is something out of the ordinary about these people's homes, families, or both. Rather than going to visit their friends, they like to have their friends come to them.

(Dane Rudhyar)

When Aquarius is at the cusp of the natal fourth house, the search for personal integration should be deeply affected by social issues; and home life may be inspired or even invaded by idealistic or revolutionary dreams. Then the Leo Midheaven will manifest itself as the tendency to pour energies emotionally and dramatically into whatever makes possible the fulfillment of the Aquarian ideals. In such a situation, we often find a Scorpio or Libra Ascendant, and this stresses even more the feeling of identification with social or occult groups.

(Jeanne Avery)

The Sun, ruler of Leo, indicates the ego, leadership ability, executive ability, and general vitality and strength. The person with this Midheaven must find career opportunities where he can show true strength and leadership potential. If he has a good sense of his own worth, a good healthy ego, he is easily able to assume the mantle of leadership. He must be in a position where he will eventually receive public recognition. He must have a chance at reaching the top position in his field.

He is easily able to get the attention and recognition he needs as a result of his natural dominance in public life. A strong sense of pride enables him to work his way to the top of the ladder. With a well-aspected Sun, he becomes involved in career projects because he enjoys what he is doing. If his Sun is not well aspected, he has an ego need for recognition that drives him in a negative way. Much of his overall sense of ego depends on the photographs he has taken of the parent of the same sex.

When the Sun is well aspected, the individual has a high regard and respect for that parent. He sees the parent as a dominant force in the family structure, with a well-placed sense of self-worth and a strong leadership quality. In the case of females with Leo MC, the mother assumed the dominant role, so the woman with this MC has a natural sense of dominance and need for public life or a career. She has no sense of obligation about staying in a 'woman's role'. Because of a healthy ego, she naturally attracts the respect she assumes she will have in her career or public life. The individual with Leo on the MC can then fulfill some of the unfulfilled potential of the parent of the same sex. A male sees his father as the strong, dominant force in the family, and follows in his footsteps. If that parent has achieved recognition in his or her lifetime, the native with Leo on the MC has no preconceived blocks to his own success in career or public life. He can also be the leader in social situations. He enjoys deciding the game plan for his group.

If the Sun is not well aspected, a lack of ego keeps him constantly stimulated and challenged toward the goal of recognition. If he is recognized in his field, or in social life, he feels good about himself, but if he does not get the attention he craves, he feels he must try harder to do something different. He may not feel secure about assuming the dominant role, denying himself the right to reach for the top of the ladder. He did not receive the ego recognition he needed from the parent of the same sex. His role model may not have had a healthy sense of self-worth, and was consequently unable to pass on a certain vitality and strength. The feeling of inadequacy on the part of that parent is transmitted inadvertently to the child with this placement, preventing him from easy attainment of career goals.

Since Leo is the sign of the king of the beasts, the potential in career is unlimited as long as the individual assumes a 'kingly' role. Leo is the dramatic sign of the zodiac. Theatre or public life feels natural to one with this sign ruling the career.

The person with Aquarius on the IC sees his opposite-sex parent as being unusual and unique, or unreliable and unpredictable. The relationship with that parent may be spontaneous, or upsetting and nerve-racking, as indicated by the aspects to the planet Uranus. There is the possibility of an unexpected or accidental death of that parent, or rebellious behavior that may go unreleased. Uranus, in some instances, can describe a tendency toward alcoholism or suicide.

Uranus describes inventiveness, genius, musical ability, spontaneity, humanitarian concerns, and high electrical energy. When that planet is well aspected, the Aquarius IC sees his parent as a free soul, having genius potential, and an avant-garde quality. The influence on the child is associated with his own freedom and permission to take chances. That parent may be in the limelight or spotlight in some way or another. The native with Aquarius IC has a natural ability to follow in the footsteps of that parent, and has the potential to express his own inventive, unique qualities. He may reach the full potential of his particular genius later in his life, fulfilling the unfulfilled dreams of that parent. He will certainly be aware of his need for freedom and will never settle for an ordinary existence. He will desire excitement and unusual activity in his home life. He will not be content to follow a conservative approach or settle into routine in his later years.

As the native with this IC begins to let up on himself and allows more freedom and spontaneity in his life, he translates his intensity into greater effectiveness. He discovers his potential for genius, and allows himself to channel energy into humanitarian concerns and anything unusual, such as astrology, metaphysics, or healing. He acts like a catalyst for people around him and enjoys having the kind of home life where exciting introductions can occur and where he can combine interested and unusual people. He may inadvertently attract fame into his life as a result of his walking to the beat of a different drummer. True inventiveness and unique qualities may seem to separate him from the crowd, yet the ultimate reward is worth taking the chance necessary for success in a unique way.

Many well-known artists, writers, and composers achieved their greatest fame as they advanced in years.

If the planet Uranus is badly aspected in the natal chart, the parental influences can severely damage the person's willingness to take chances and achieve fame and recognition. he may not be easily able to deal with tension, unpredictable experiences, and chaos in the home life. He may become rebellious as he grows older or unpredictable in his habits. He could have photographed the parent of the opposite sex as unable to deal with the tensions, high electrical energy, or inventiveness that may be part of the personality. He may also feel unable to rely on that parent. Many times, in an attempt to calm down the electricity in the system, that parent may have turned to excess drinking. Or he may have indulged in unpredictable behavior to attract the limelight, instead of taking the risks that could also bring him attention. Most often that parent exhibits a high-strung disposition and a nervous quality. If that nervous energy was channeled properly, the child with Aquarius IC learns how to channel his own nervous energy into productive activity.

The habits connected with home life may include a need to run in and out of the house frequently. As the person grows older, he may not be able to keep to tight routines, preferring to act according to impulse. His nervous energy may keep him out of sync with his natural timing. He may tend to blow things up prematurely, run away just as events are about to propel him into the spotlight. He may want everything to stay in its place in his home, wanting nothing disturbed in case he can't put his finger on what he needs. Home base may be a stopping-off place in between travels. He is attracted to an unusual lifestyle, or an unusual home, in any case.

The excitement and sometimes nerve-racking situations at the base of his life keep him from being bored, although he may find a need for periodic peace and quiet just to restore his nervous balance. Music can become an important part of the serenity he desires. He is certainly not lacking in excitement at the base of his existence. He may have to learn how to upgrade that level of excitement, keeping some semblance of peace and quiet. He will rarely have to worry about life being dull. He can easily become the water-bearer to humanity as he grows older in years. The freedom he experiences in his choice of lifestyle helps him achieve a greater sense of identity with mankind's needs. He can then encourage and heal, and help lift restrictions from the lives of others.

Since the planet Uranus rules music, it is interesting to note how many musicians come into the fullest expression of their gifts as they grow older.
