PISCES

If you have your Midheaven in Pisces, you need a career that allows you to utilize your intuition or to follow your gut, because more often than not, it’s right. Many people have the impression you’re out of touch with reality when in fact, you’re just tuned into a whole different frequency. Money isn’t as important to you as passion and being able to make a difference.

Pisces Midheavens are drawn to careers in music, theater, film, literature, and the healing arts. Embrace your emotions. Explore your boundaries but be careful not to overstep them.
