MC (Midheaven) – Selena Conjunction – The Higher Mission

The White Moon is a source of light and grace, a symbol of the patronage of higher powers in the sphere governed by the House of its placement. It marks a place of resource and luck, where nothing threatens the person, although there are many nuances in interacting with it. Selena is an angel of justice, but this justice has nothing in common with the earthly idea of it. As long as the person follows universal laws, luck will not leave them, but it may not manifest at all if, because of upbringing and the influence of the environment, they have violated these laws since childhood.

The Midheaven Meridian, or MC, is the highest point of the horoscope: professional calling, the ceiling of possibilities, career, fame, and honors. The White Moon in this area speaks of the good karma of a leader formed in the family line. The native will be lucky in their career and can easily become famous, but very often they move toward the summit by touch, as if blindfolded.

Features of Selena Conjunct the Midheaven Meridian (MC)

In the study of many charts with this aspect, an interesting pattern emerged: the native themselves does not understand why they are drawn to a certain sphere of activity, but moves there blindly, as if obeying an invisible force. This calling often runs counter to family traditions and professional activity, but the person seems to be guided there from above. Unexpected meetings and acquaintances occur, interesting offers arrive, and they form a new reality in which the voice of intuition suggests how to reveal and realize oneself.

Here it is also very important to look at the position of the MC ruler in order to understand exactly which talents will accelerate this process.

If, for example, the Midheaven with Selena is in Libra, and Venus as the ruler is in the Ninth House, happiness and luck will accompany relocation abroad, business with foreign partners, and work in show business overseas. The ruler’s position in the Eighth House points to managing other people’s money as a financier, broker, or investor, or to involvement in esotericism.

Since the aspect affects the Tenth House, a certain opposition between Selena and the planets in the Fourth House arises accordingly. It is necessary to see whether there is an opposition, because these are precisely the energies that will interfere with the person’s striving for light and happiness. Even if the Fourth House is empty, home life, relationships with the father and relatives, and problems with real estate may stand in the way of the dream.

Planets in this area specify this confrontation. In any case, the native has doubts about how well their path fits the family’s idea of well-being. Sometimes, in the name of serving the goal, they have to tear themselves away by the roots, leave the family, completely transform their loved ones’ views on life, or face their lack of understanding. Something similar can be observed in the destinies of the people with  Selena – MC conjunction: Salvador Dalí, with the aspect in Aries; Vasily Shukshin, with Selena in Scorpio; and Anatoly Chumak, with MC in Virgo. The signs quite vividly reflect the tendencies of their activity and style of self-expression.

Dangers of the Selena – Midheaven Conjunction

The White Moon activates in kind people who sincerely wish to serve their people and use power and fame for good. However, people unfamiliar with astrology rarely resist temptations once they find themselves at the peak of popularity. They develop star fever, along with a sense of chosenness and permissiveness. They allow themselves many things they did not do before gaining influence in society, and this disconnects them from Selena’s beneficial energies. The protection that was present before falls away. In such a situation, the native themselves becomes a victim of more powerful people and representatives of state structures.

Dangerous signs of improper use of the energies of the Selena – MC conjunction include:

• inflated self-importance and arrogance toward other people;
• blind confidence in one’s own rightness, justifying unpleasant actions by one’s higher mission: others are not allowed, but I am;
• perceiving other people as rivals or as an entourage without personal interests and views of their own: they must share the native’s point of view;
• irritation toward one’s family if they do not want to dedicate their lives to the chart holder and obey them in everything;
• unwillingness to take care of the home and arrange everyday life because of absorption in one’s calling.

In part, Selena’s position on the MC coincides with its position in the Tenth House. However, if it is not placed exactly on the Meridian, strong opposition to the themes of the Fourth House is excluded. Achieving the goal with the White Moon in the Tenth House occurs less dramatically than with the MC – IC confrontation, or the native may not strive for career heights at all. Here, however, it is precisely the conditional opposition that creates a strong desire to become famous in spite of all enemies, especially if the Sun and Mars are strong.

How to Work Through the MC – Selena Conjunction

A person with this conjunction needs to decide on their purpose from early youth, both in terms of profession and in terms of the mission they will embody through career growth. It is best to do this around the age of fourteen, or at least by twenty-one, since Selena’s cycle, during which important decisions should be made, occurs every seven years. After choosing the calling, the person should literally write down their code of honor, certain rules of behavior that must not be violated.

It is necessary to exclude arrogance, snobbery, and racism from one’s set of views, and moreover, to be a vivid example of liberalism and respect for other people’s creativity and opinions. At the same time, it is important to preserve a sense of self-worth and not allow one’s uniqueness to be devalued.

The native will have to live according to the highest level of the sign through which the Midheaven Meridian passes. This will bring them fame that outlives them, and during life it will allow them to enjoy the fruits of their labor. ✓
