Thanks so much Alice. That was really interesting! Mine’s at 1° Sagittarius and honestly… it tracks. I’m a coach, somatic therapist, and yoga teacher living in Bali, teaching women all over the world how to build freedom-based lives. Teaching, travelling, sharing big ideas - it’s basically the Sag MC starter pack, right?
Yes! I remember you're a Pisces rising too! So Jupiter rules your ascendant and Midheaven and therefore such an important planet for you - where is it placed again in your chart?
Yes! Jupiter is doing some serious work in my chart - ruling both my Pisces rising and my Sag MC. It's in Scorpio in the 9th house, which feels so aligned: deep emotional healing, spiritual exploration, teaching, and a craving for freedom and meaning. Thanks for highlighting that - it’s wild how clearly the Jupiter thread weaves through both my personal path and the work I share.
Aquarius midheaven in 9H, just got my phd and im a professor of literature and culture, currently working on a book about the congruences between poetry and science!
I'm a Cancer rising with the MC in my 10th house of Aries at 20 degrees. Mars is in my 6th house and I've worked in healthcare since 2008! I go for a final interview tomorrow for a residency coordinator position in the Graduate Medical Education department.
I'm a virgo rising with my MC at 24 degrees of Taurus. I use Porphyry but with WS it's in my 9th house. It's ruled by Venus in Capricorn in the 5th house. Uranus literally just finished transiting my MC, in the last 2 years I quit my job as a buyer for a large retailer, started my own business as a brand consultant, got married, moved home. In November or December there was a full moon on my MC w Uranus there and I made an unexpected new business connection on the day it was exact, and with the last exact conjunction of Uranus to my MC we solidified a working relationship and our first project!
It's so literal how many fast paced changes Uranus transits bring up! And love the new business partnership established with Saturn in your 7th now too.
Also I like to use the Custom Tri-Wheel calculator on Astro Seek, you can input your chart, your partners, and transits from a specific day to see how it all overlaps. A bit easier than opening a separate chart in a different tab!
I feel that mine is pretty spot on especially when considering the ruling planet of my midheaven. I have my MH in capricorn in the 10th house, ruled by saturn which is in pisces in my 12th house. I'm a mental health attorney. And saturn was in capricorn during the majority of the time I was in law school and studying for the bar exam, which was obviously challenging and I was truly all over the map with what I wanted to do with my law degree. At that time I would've never expected to land in the mental health field...I don't even think I knew that existed. I also absolutely do not see myself being a practicing lawyer for the rest of my life. My dream is to honestly teach yoga or have some kind of wellness business. But I worked hard to be where I am so I'm not ready for that transition anytime soon.
My MC is in Libra / 11th house -- very much so makes sense what you shared about work including partnerships + collaborations! I just had two companies reach out yesterday to invite me to collaborate with them for video content! What you shared about creating an audience helped me validate that desire of mine to be in front of a lot of people!
Venus rules Libra, which is in my 7th house / Gemini!
the example of MC in 9th house of pisces w the extra layer of Juipter in the 7th house of Capricorn is exactly like my natal chart in terms of the houses and signs & some of the planets 🥹
I am about to go through my Saturn return and I am also going through a career shift so this is a helpful insight of what direction to go through, I am thinking 1:1 sessions as a holistic RN 🌱🙌🏽 🐐♑️
MC in Scorpio in the 10th and I've always felt like I should've done psychology because I love analyzing human behavior lol might be time for another career change
I’m a Scorpio rising with a 14 degree Virgo MC in the 11th house. Mercury is also in Virgo (23 degrees) in the 11th. I’m a yoga teacher and astrologer and I feel most fulfilled when I’m hosting events and workshops, when I’m gathering people together to talk about wellness and share knowledge and experience. Also, writing and talking are a big part of what I do. My Mars is in Leo in the 10th house so self expression and creativity in my work are what really drive me. Saturn opposing my MC this past year had made me feel really stressed and wanting to restructure what I do. I’m curious to see what the eclipses will bring for me the next few years.
So interesting! Yes, you're about to move into an easier time with career - both with the eclipses and then Jupiter in Leo and then Virgo throughout 2026-2027
This is so great Alice! I am an astrologer and for some reason (wishful thinking?) I always forget when a transiting planet is hanging out or aspecting my 9 degree Leo MC.
Maybe it is my Leo Sun+Mars 10th house conjunction showing up as being too regal for something as common as a transit! 🤣
I hear you on the Leo energy, I always think transits won't affect me ahaha. I completely didn't notice transit Pluto squaring my Midheaven until like last month.
My MC is in Pisces in the ninth house right where all these transit planets are located. Jupiter the ruler is in Virgo in the third house. There has been so much going on but this article definitely gave me some clarity. over the past few years I started feeling very unsatisfied with my career as an architect and started exploring other interests, without knowing how exactly everything would come together in a ‘career’. Then late last year I closed my architectural practice and started offering human design, gene key and astrology readings at a local metaphysical shop along with small workshops locally for people wanting to dive into self-inquiry and healing work inspired by their charts. I don’t have a clear idea of where things are going, (Neptune just entered my 10th house), but I know lots is happening that will come together. At this exact moment, it is both the exact degree of my Uranus opposition and also my second Saturn opposition since my natal Saturn is conjunct my IC. 😅😳 I could go on (transit mars is also conjunct my AC in cancer 😜) but I’ll leave at this because it’s a lot!
omg so interesting with Neptune transiting your Pisces Midheaven and your decision to walk away from an unfulfilling career. I'm glad you found something that feels more aligned. I feel like you'll get a better idea of shaping your business in 2026 when Jupiter and the North Node meet in Leo - your 2nd house.
0 ° Pisces MC in my 10th house. Neptune (retrograde) in my 8th house. I’m a mental health counselor who would love to fold tarot and astrology into my work with clients (which I do minimally right now).
9th house midheaven in Pisces--I did Teach for America, taught English abroad, and now I work in higher education. I just went through the Neptune and Saturn transits and everything was spot on, including the impact from the IC.
I love diving deep into the Midheaven! Mine is an Aries MC, and Mars rules my 9th house, which of course, makes a lot of sense. This manifested in different ways during my life so far! My first people management job was given to me when I was 19 years old (!), I had my own company when I was 22 (entrepreneurship Aries trait!), and when I was a journalist, I always wrote for travel magazines. I relocated when I was 26 years old, built a career abroad, and worked in London in one of the most famous travel companies in the world, and I still have a leadership role at work in a tech company famous for being innovative in the industry (also an Aries thing, to be the pioneer!), and travel plays a significant role in my life overall, and my astrology work (09th) is much focused in astrocartography (9th house, too!). My MC in the relocated chart is Gemini (IC Sagittarius), which also makes a lot of sense, as writing is always part of my routine and calling, and I just feel at home when I'm constantly travelling, lol!
Love!! Thank you for this post! I have a 9th house Pisces MC, with Jupiter in Cancer in my 1st. The Mars retro in Cancer was major for me this year and the whole transit along with all of the energy that’s been happening in Pisces has brought me big shifts in my career (and really anchoring into my worth!). Letting go of the work I thought was my calling (a membership I had launched for women) to expanding and upleveling what I initially thought was just my side gig (Biz Strategy & Creative Direction) and deciding to focus on solely writing about my other work - just for the joy of it, rather than ‘selling it.’ It’s been wild but also so expansive and I’ve really felt the deeper alignment. Do you have any posts that share about water trines? I have Chiron in cancer 1st, Pluto in Scorpio 5th and MC in Pisces 9th all within a couple of degrees of eachother. Have learnt a bit about this but always looking to learn more ♥️✨
My MC is in Scorpio 9th H and I’m honestly shocked as I don’t feel like it applies to my life at all right now and need to dig deep into this to as I feel like I need change and what I’m doing not isn’t fully working.. I need change!
also remember that you can't rush these career changes, and if you don't know what you want to do exactly right now it will come more when transits activate career related houses - 6th, 10th, 2nd.

Aquarius midheaven in 9H, just got my phd and im a professor of literature and culture, currently working on a book about the congruences between poetry and science!
the deep writing research process for your book aligning with Pluto in your 9th now! I bet it get published under the Aquarius eclipses.
I'm a Cancer rising with the MC in my 10th house of Aries at 20 degrees. Mars is in my 6th house and I've worked in healthcare since 2008! I go for a final interview tomorrow for a residency coordinator position in the Graduate Medical Education department.
so literal! fingers crossed you get the job!

Life is long, so there will be plenty of opportunities for you to pivot in the future when you feel called to do so!

oh love that! I feel like the video content stuff also pertains to the ruler in Gemini!
wooow this is divine timing reading this post!! ✨

Oh true, that makes sense, thanks! this experience also makes sense too that transit Jupiter is currently in my 12th house.
