In astrology, your Midheaven sign, also called the MC (short for Medium Coeli), is your public persona. Placed at the highest point of your birth chart just on the cusp of the 10th house and based on your birth time and location, it’s one of the most personal aspects of your natal chart.
Midheaven in Cancer Traits
A Cancer MC means that the way others see you is highly influenced by the Cancer zodiac sign. Those with a Cancer Midheaven are natural nurturers who tend to put their loved ones first.
1. Emotional
A Cancer MC is completely driven by emotions. Cancer is ruled by the moon, the planet that governs emotions. The Cancer zodiac sign is also associated with the 4th house, the house of home and family. Lastly, Cancer is an intuitive water sign. People with a Midheaven in Cancer are highly sensitive and others perceive them as empathic and compassionate.
2. Visionary
People with Midheaven in Cancer are great leaders. Cancer is a cardinal sign, possessing a unique ability to influence others. They aren’t afraid of change and their intuitiveness gives them the opportunity to lead the pack when it comes to making positive change.
3. Agreeable
People with Midheaven in Cancer are very flexible when it comes to change and don’t mind going with the flow if it makes others happy. This makes them very easy to get along with and they’re seen as being very supportive.
4. Intuitive
People with a Cancer MC come across almost as psychic. They’re great at not only picking up someone’s vibes but also using that information to make things happen physically.
5. Protective
People with a Cancer Midheaven protect those they love at all costs. They’re willing to go to bat for the people they know and love.
6. Private
Just like the crab the Cancer zodiac symbol stands for, people with a Cancer MC tend to have a tough outer shell despite their soft, emotional inner core. While you may find yourself telling a Cancer MC your life story upon first meeting them, you’ll leave the conversation realizing they never shared anything personal back. If you’re not a Cancer MC’s loved one or someone they’re put in charge of helping caring for, you might not notice just how deep their emotions run.
7. Moody
Cancer’s status as a water sign means people with a Cancer Midheaven have the tendency to become moody. They’re empathic and can pick up and reflect the vibes around them.
8. Controlling
A Cancer MC’s protectiveness can sometimes lead to controlling territory. People with a Cancer Midheaven put their relationships before everything else, which can sometimes come off as being far too possessive. People may also find their constant need to be hands-on to be too clingy.
9. People-pleaser
Cancer MC’s agreeableness can sometimes turn into people-pleasing which they may become resentful over.
Cancer Midheaven Careers
Being so driven by your emotions, the best career for a Cancer MC is one that’s emotionally fulfilling. You’ll find Cancer MCs in careers that have the potential to change lives and that lets them take the reigns.
A Cancer MC’s family will always come first, so it’s important that they steer away from careers that take them out of the home for too long.
