I would describe the Pisces midheaven as the improviser.

When I talk to people who have a Pisces midheaven who are going through work changes or periods of indecision around what to do with their lives, I do hear some laments blaming feelings of indecision on the blurry and vague images that we tend to have of Pisces.

If you have a Pisces midheaven, you're not sentenced to a life of instability or incompleteness. Having a Pisces midheaven does not mean that you will never commit to anything forever and ever. Pisces midheaven can be very commited. Devoted even. Yes, Pisces midheaven is pretty flexible but flexibility is not the same as indecision.

Pisces, as the last sign, is not just a blurry spot on the zodiac wheel, endlessly in flummox and involatile. Pisces is largely defined by it's relationship to the benefics. It's the only sign that dignifies both Venus and Jupiter in a major way.

Pisces is defined first and foremost by its availability to possibility. Pisces is a highly observant sign because it is available to the multiple realities happening at once. It's also a very creative sign because it is able to do something with any reality because it can accept almost anything.

The first rule of improvisation is to say, "Yes and…" First, accept the actions that other people are doing and accept that they're trying to define reality right there with you. From there, you can add your own spin. You can renarrate something, add details, or twist it. But to do that, you have to roll with it a little bit. You have to be available to things that are outside of your direct control.

You know what happens when you make a suggestion, however absurd or incomplete or not thought out, to a Pisces midheaven? They say, "Okay. I like your energy. Let's try it together."

To really understand what is powerful about Pisces midheavens, you have to take a look at what the midheaven is in astrology and really understand why Pisces availability can act incredibly decisively.

In astrology, the midheaven is the highest point in your natal chart. It's the point in the chart that represents the ways you related to your parents when you were growing up, your parents being your authority figures and your nurturers. When you get older, the midheaven represents your authority in your life. It describes the way that you nurture your future into existence.

To understand why Pisces availability is so powerful when it's at the midheaven, you have to remember that we're not always living in the realities that we think we are.

A lot of us walk around believing that reality is the last thing that can change and that it is apparent or obvious. That's why we say that we butt heads with reality almost as if reality were a set of choices or rules that other people already made for us. Every improviser knows that the above isn't really true.

Every improviser knows that reality is an universe that you must commit to in order to change. You don't know your reality yet but you figure it out as you make your decisions and act the way you do, eventually building a scene as you understand your actions more and more. Every improviser knows that your ability to dictate reality becomes more powerful when you come into collaboration with the people around you. Every improviser knows that reality is something that people make spontaneously and together.

Pisces midheaven is an improviser. No, this placement doesn't make a ten step plan. They don't really work like that. Instead, they are responsive to the lives of people around them and they work on trusting what could happen whenever possible.

To improvise their goals into existence the way that they do, Pisces midheaven must remain emotionally available to the people around them. In a group or a team, they don't just show up. They're fully present, attentive to what everyone is doing, and emotionally trusting enough to allow their own actions to come from a place of sincerity. They're often not dictating or planning or secretly strategizing. They are listening and responding.

Pisces midheaven trusts the process or the people, not the plan. Because Pisces midheaven trusts the people who they collaborate with, they tend to bring out the best in those people.

Improvisation is a profoundly Jupiterian stance towards the midheaven becomes improvisation is inviting. Having a Jupiter ruled midheaven means that you welcome a lot of big groups of very different types of people to come together towards a goal. How does Pisces midheaven do that? Not by making a rigid plan and assigning roles. No, Pisces midheaven responds with "Yes and…" and rolls with the punches.

You have to remember that Pisces midheaven may be endlessly flexible but they almost always committed to some kind of vision. Improvisation is an act of the imagination. If you are not willing to believe that your imagination could impact reality and act accordingly, then you will have a hard time improvising.

Pisces midheaven believes that their imagination contains an universe, one that it is far deeper and wilder than they think it is. They are curious about what their actions really mean because they're never sure that they know the answer. They believe themselves about what they imagine themselves to be capable of.

I think that, because the decisions of a Pisces midheaven is always responsive to other people, a lot of people can have a hard time quantifying where Pisces midheaven's sphere of action starts and ends. To the outside observer, a Pisces midheaven can appear almost inactive, almost as though they're waiting for life to simply come in and make things happen for them.

But this couldn't be further from the truth. Action isn't quantified by disruption. Invitation, availability, and trust are also actions. Connection is an action.

In some ways, Pisces midheaven simply isn't that interested in actions that they can get done all by themselves like finishing one art piece or hitting a personal goal. They think too big. They want things to happen that will only happen when a whole community or society moves together. They want to remake their world.

So, a pursuit that is entirely selfish can feel boring to a Pisces midheaven. They can have a tendency to put aside personal projects not because they're uncommited or lazy but because they actually want a little more. Pisces is very social. They must participate in order to find meaning. This is why conventional rules about taking or giving credit don't really work for Pisces midheaven. They're simply the type of person whose collaborators and co-conspirators do their best work when around.

You might find yourself becoming smarter or more brilliant when you are in the presence of a Pisces midheaven. You might be funnier, more trusting, and more skilled. Pisces midheaven, sincerely encouraging, has a way of drawing the talent and the ambition out of other people. They just believe in you. Because they believe that you can do it, you start to believe it too.

"I think that you're a once in a generation type of genius," a Pisces midheaven who you are working together with on some kind of creative collaboration tells you with a straight face every so often. As you continue to work together, you find yourself doing your best work in this particular collaboration. Coincidence? Not really.

When Pisces midheaven can participate in a collective or with a partner, then they are impressively effective. They are committed to projects as long as those projects feel larger than the status quo. They remain interested in anything that isn't entirely within their control because they live to spontaneously play with as many kinds of people as possible.

But Pisces midheaven is bored by smallness or aloneness. They want more people to get involved. It's not about a plan. It's about what everyone can do together.

If you see someone out there who looks like they are doing very little or nothing at all, who doesn't have a proper job title or play a specific role, who is always somehow able to bring big groups of people to make things happen on a large scale without letting on how they make that happen—you might have just run into a Pisces midheaven. They are more committed than you think they are. They are also doing a lot more than they can name.
