MC (Midheaven) – Lilith Sextile – Career as Temptation

The sextile of the Black Moon to the Midheaven meridian has a distinctive and unusual influence on destiny. It does not have a fatal or powerful impact on career, so many astrological schools do not give it special attention. However, as an event-activating aspect, it can create substantial sequences of fortunate circumstances, when there is an opportunity to rise high without connections, resources, or even any special talents. For this, the person needs to be ready to seize luck by the tail.

The MC, the meridian of the Midheaven, is the highest point of the horoscope. It is located in the Tenth House and symbolizes the main goals and tasks not only in career, but also in the person’s life purpose, which is much broader than obtaining a particular profession. The sextile is an aspect of luck through the dark, tempting energies of Lilith at a low level of development, or through creativity and charm at a higher one.

Opportunities and Problems of the Lilith – Midheaven Sextile

The MC is not a planet, but a point of the ecliptic, and of course, a minor aspect with another hypothetical point will not have a strongly significant influence on destiny, especially if major aspects are present: conjunctions, trines, or squares in the Tenth House, or between its ruler and personal planets, or with the same Lilith. However, if there are none at all, it would be a mistake not to use the positive influence of the sextile between the Black Moon and the MC, not only from an event-based point of view, but also psychologically.

The Midheaven represents the person’s life tasks and goals, through the achievement of which they come to the main purpose of their life.

What should the person do if access to them is blocked because of a weak Sun, weak Venus, or an afflicted or combust Mercury? After all, in order to reach one’s purpose, it is first necessary to acquire the vivid traits and abilities of the sign in the Tenth House where the MC is located. This is where the sextile of Lilith and the Midheaven helps. Through it, the person begins to show determination, drive, and emotional involvement in matters of career and social advancement.

The point is that Lilith creates a very strong fixation on the themes of the Houses affected by the aspect, and this temptation is so powerful that it unexpectedly helps the person overcome complexes and fears caused by a weak Sun and afflicted personal planets.

In other words, the person wants recognition, victories, and fame so strongly that they step over inner blocks and move ahead of stronger rivals. Of course, this does not eliminate inner fears and anxiety. But through Lilith, they desire success so intensely that they jump into the abyss, hoping the parachute will open.

Therefore, in order for the experience to be successful, it is necessary from the beginning to see which strengths of the sign of the Tenth House need to be discovered and developed, and also to reach the higher level of Lilith itself according to its placement. In this case, when destiny gives the native a chance, they will be fully prepared.

There is only one problem: at a low level of development, the native gains access to Lilith’s dark and dirty vibrations and becomes stuck on them. They see that success in career can be obtained through sexual attractiveness, manipulation of other people’s consciousness, intrigues, and bribes, and they do not hesitate to use this when the opportunity arises. They will get what they want, but the boomerang effect every nine years has not been canceled, even with the positive energy of this aspect.

Positive Influence of the Lilith – Midheaven Sextile

If the natal chart contains trines to the Tenth House, they will completely override the rather weak influence of the sextile with more powerful events and energies. However, it does happen that the person has only this aspect, and since Lilith is often placed in the Eighth or Twelfth House in such cases, help from above comes not only through creativity, but also in a mystical way, or through certain stressful events that become points of growth.

Ancestral secrets, inheritance, and risky credit stories can also turn into such points of growth, when the native desperately borrows money from a bank or relatives in order to realize a dream — and wins.

The mother plays a major role in the person’s upward advancement. If there are no other indications, she may be an ambiguous, strange, and talented person with a multifaceted perception of the world. Such a mother teaches the child that all means are acceptable and that no opportunity given by life should be missed. Thanks to this, the native uses their artistry, charm, and desperate desire for a better life as a springboard into the social elevator. This may seem like an indirect influence of psychological factors, but without them, the person would hardly have dared to take bold actions.

How to Activate the Lilith – MC Sextile

This aspect begins to work from around the age of eighteen, but it may touch the inner processes of personality formation at about the age of nine, when the native begins to dream of fame and success. However, destiny begins to offer fortunate chances after adulthood, and here it is important to consciously prepare oneself to correspond to the higher tasks of the sign of the Tenth House and not give in to dirty temptations for the sake of fame and honors.

This is especially difficult for those with the MC in Capricorn, Leo, Aries, or Sagittarius. They are very afraid that a second chance will not appear, and they are ready to walk over others toward their goal, although the emphasis should be placed on personal talents not only through the Tenth House where the MC is located, but also through the sign of Lilith, combining them in a creative symbiosis.

Certain forbidden themes, secrets, and ancestral stories may become a kind of key to the energies of the Tenth House. Contrary to logic, audacity, assertiveness, resentment, and anger may benefit the career, so it is important not to suppress them and not to try to be good for everyone.  ✓
