Leo Midheaven

istock

 We all know about the flamboyance and generous drama of the Leo Sun. But what about when Leo is on your Midheaven, the career part of your chart?

A Leo Midheaven would usually mean that you have a Scorpio Ascendant, and flamboyance is not normally a word we associate with Scorpio- and I mean that in the nicest possible way.

When you have Leo on the cusp of the 10^th house, the Sun rules your career, so wherever the Sun is in your chart will not only be where your creative talents lie, but also where your professional talents lie.

Pride and vitality is associated with wherever Leo happens to be. On the 10^th (or Midheaven), you are proud of your ambitions, the achievements in your public life and the image you present to the world. No matter what your career- and that includes anything from President to Stay at Home Mum to lobbying for better access for disabled kids to business analyst- you need to shine (and be seen to shine) in order to feel great about yourself.

You have natural leadership potential and charisma and prefer to be in charge- this allows you to bring great energy and style to your role- whatever that is.

You also need to be recognized for your accomplishments- after all, Fire does require fuel.

With Leo ruling your career you may find that even if you aren’t in charge, your colleagues will naturally defer to each other as if you were. With Scorpio on the Ascendant, though, you will be wise to anyone trying to pull your strings.
