What A Leo Midheaven Means In Your Birth Chart - YourTango

In astrology, your Midheaven sign, also called the MC (short for Medium Coeli), is your public persona. A Leo Midheaven in your birth chart means your professional and career goals and life path take on Leo traits.

While most people refer to a zodiac sign, which is technically your Sun sign, when describing personality traits, your Midheaven sign is actually one of the most important and personal aspects of a natal chart.
