Midheaven in Scorpio

The Midheaven in Scorpio is a calling to go deep. The world knows you as intense, perceptive and powerful, and your best work uncovers what others miss or will not face.

Midheaven in Scorpio, as your chart would show it

At work, people tell you things they would never put in writing. You keep every one of them.

Your Midheaven is in Scorpio. The Midheaven is the top of the chart, the start of the tenth house of calling and reputation, and it describes how you are known. In Scorpio you are known for depth: perceptive, private and never to be underestimated.

Deep work

Research, investigation, crisis work, detective work, and anything involving secrets, power or great change suit you. You are at your best where the stakes are high and others look away, and you never give up on a problem until it gives up its answer.

Quiet power

You prefer influence to fame. You build power slowly and privately, and people sense it before they understand it. Pluto and, by old rule, Mars rule Scorpio; their places in your chart show where that power works.

Steady ground

Opposite, at the bottom of your chart, sits Taurus, on the fourth house. Behind all that intensity you need a simple, comfortable home, good food and quiet: the steady ground that lets you go so far down at work.

Were you born with the Midheaven in Scorpio?

The Midheaven turns through all twelve signs every day, so yours depends on the minute you were born. Scorpio takes 1 hour 59 minutes to cross it, the same anywhere on Earth.

Two people born on the same day a few hours apart have different Midheavens. Your chart, below, finds yours to the degree.
