CHART FEATURE
Midheaven (MC)
The Midheaven is the ecliptic degree culminating at the meridian at the moment of birth, and the cusp of the 10th house.
It represents career, public reputation, vocation, and the highest visible expression of the self. Angular planets near the MC strongly shape public-facing matters and timing for status/career moves.

- Houses (Astrological)
The 12 houses are wedges of the local sky divided by the chart's angles (ASC, IC, DSC, MC), each governing a different domain of life.
