Aka flamin’ hot Astro notes 🌶
🔥 the journey from ic to midheaven is a difficult one. The idea that your fourth house is who you are with your family and your tenth is what your career should be is HELLLA undersimplifying one of the most important and profound placements in you chart. An ic really is a characterization of how you grew up and an mc is a reaction to that, the signs energy that you develop and display to the public in order to fill a gap dug in your childhood
🔥 the journey from a libra ic to an Aries mc is the journey from not receiving attn or asserting yourself as a child to learning to do so as an adult. A sag to Gemini is feeling like an outsider in your childhood motivating you to make everyone your friend as an adult. A Pisces to Virgo is a reaction to having a chaotic and unclear childhood and to creating that clarity and order around you as an adult
🔥 equally as important as having a planet in the SIGN of its rulership is having a planet in the HOUSE of its rulership (this goes for exaltations, falls, and detriments too)
🔥it’s not necessarily more or less important but it imparts a different flavor to how that planet is expressed that is muy freaking importante.
🔥for example, if you take a sun in libra, they will not go after the attention seeking and putting me first job of the sun in the same fiery way an Aries will, but they will still get their way and overall accomplish the purpose and expression of the sun, to declare an expression of self.
🔥a sun in the SEVENTH, on the other hand, will have a hard time identifying and accepting the qualities of their sun.
🔥on the same sun in libra train, a sun in libra in the FIRST is 1) prolly gonna be famous and 2) going to direct all of that libra energy into asserting themselves directly and 3) prolly freaking gorgeous bc they have a libra rising
