Midheaven in Aries people—how should I say this? The thing with midheaven in Aries people is that they’re always here to fuck things up. I mean that in the best way possible. These people will do the most daring thing that you can think of even if they upend everything.

I think that my favorite thing about midheaven in Aries is that they don’t pretend. They really just tell it like it is. They don’t hide anything. They’ll just come right out and say it regardless of how other people are going to react. Midheaven in Aries people don’t shy away from confrontation.

In fact, I think that there’s something about midheaven in Aries people that can actively chase out social risk. To understand why, we have to first understand what the midheaven in astrology is.

The midheaven in astrology represents your mother and how you are nurtured for the first thirty years of your life. After your first Saturn return, the midheaven represents the nurture that you give to the world. After the second Saturn return, your midheaven represents how you teach the next generation to continue the work of nurture that you initiated or continued in the world. The midheaven shows your greatest impact on the world that you live in.

That’s your career. Your career isn’t a certificate or a job. It’s how you nurture the world. And your midheaven will tell you what you need to be nurtured. It will also tell you about early parental dynamics that make you need and desire certain things.

What does Aries midheaven like? Aries midheaven likes conflict. They see confrontation as nurture.

Aries is the spring equinox and the zodiac sign that’s all about visibility and attention. Aries loves to receive attention. When you have Aries on the cusp of your midheaven, you have gone through early life experiences that make you fear neglect. So, you have a very strong desire for demonstrative attention and for declarative love.

Basically, you want people to really see you. You want people to celebrate you like we celebrate the lengthening sunlight in the spring but, more than that, you just want people to see you.

That’s why Aries midheaven people really don’t shy away from risk. Yes, it’s because they are brave. They are fearless and they also don’t see why other people are scared of standing out because, to an Aries midheaven, standing out is safety. Visibility is safety. People notice you and know you so they watch out for you. To Aries midheaven, invisibility is danger. Depending on the Mars placement, Aries midheaven will usually take on social risk and disrupt the status quo because they feel safer when they fight back. But not always.

Aries on the midheaven tells us that the home environment was somewhat combative. You know those families where everyone likes to joke around and debate about everything? Those families where everyone is always just one sentence away from a big fight?

Aries midheaven is someone who feels safer being combative than not because they are trying very hard to protect a very kind inner self. They want to attach but they can be extremely prickly.

The reason why I say all this is because I think that Aries midheaven, particularly in home or work environments, are oftentimes trying to fight you. They might appear to pick a fight with you about some senseless thing. The sink is dirty. An email bounced. Someone booked a meeting that dragged out too long. But Aries midheavens isn’t always trying to fight you. It’s just that they might try when they feel ignored. Again, Aries midheaven can feel as though they are in danger when they are ignored.

Usually, Aries midheaven people are very successful. Aries is a sign that promotes quick progress. Midheaven is your career.

In my experience, Aries midheaven people have a bit of that older sibling mentality where they will buy you a bunch of stuff when they’re getting paid but then refuse to let you know when they are struggling. These people are givers, not takers.

However, don’t be fooled. They’re going to give a lot but they’re always going to be a tiny bit rude about it. These people are kind but cunty. Their actions are kind but their words remain extremely prickly. These people can’t stand those soft environments where everyone is trying to be all nice and sweet because they don’t trust that kind of stuff. They need people to be a bit rude so else they just feel too awkward. Hence, midheaven in Aries is really drawn to people who are rough and kind.

That’s really just how they see themselves, you see. Aries in midheaven is rough and kind. They mean really well but their words are extremely crass. They will cut a bitch. But love ya!

I know that people expect a list of suitable careers at the end of these midheaven type of articles but I’ve never found that useful. What, you’re going to quit your job because some astrology article said that you should be a beekeeper because you have Mercury on the midheaven and bees are ruled by Mercury? Obviously not.

But regardless, here’s what I think Aries midheaven people excel at: stunt double, freelancer of any kind, self employed, party promoter, boxer, performance artist, and advice columnist.
