What Midheaven in Cancer means

A career that cares and feeds: hospitality, nursing, food, property, history, a family business, anything that makes people feel at home. The public sees you as a protector.

The Midheaven (Medium Coeli, the MC) is the highest point of the zodiac at the moment of birth and the start of the 10th house in most house systems, so it needs the birth time. It stands for your career, calling, reputation and public life.

Its opposite, the IC at the bottom of the chart, falls in Capricorn: a home built with effort; duty to family is strong and a parent may have been strict.
