Embodying our individual Midheaven (Medium Coeli or MC) and North Node (NN) placements can feel uncomfortable because these energies directly oppose what feels natural for us.
The IC (Imum Coeli) represents the most private depths of our being. Our childhoods, home life, and ancestry are all embedded in this point. If the IC represents the roots of a tree, then the MC — our public-facing self — would be the branches.
A tree is only as strong as its roots.
We can think of our South Node (directly opposite our NN) as our zone of genius: the gifts that our souls carried over from previous incarnations. We mastered those skills in previous lifetimes. However, for our soul to grow, it orients itself towards new experiences, using the North Node as its North Star.
The MC challenges us to fulfill our highest potential in this world, which helps fuel the pursuit of our NN, which in turn brings us closer to our highest potential in this multiverse.
Living one energy naturally feeds into the other: A fulfilling vocation (the MC’s domain) facilitates our soul growth. Listening to our soul’s nudges (NN) naturally orients us toward that calling.
We’re not expected to shun our IC and SN to embody our MC and NN. We’re called to use the former as launchpads to help us reach the latter.
This Earthly journey is like holding your own on a balance beam. Will you fall off? Or will you find your center and master the game?
