Your Relocation Astrology Project, 2: Ascendant and Midheaven

As she examines your birth chart in a series of potential relocation sites, your astrologer watches your Ascendant and Midheaven shift. In some spots they just change degree within your natal signs. Elsewhere, one, or both, move into new signs entirely. Intercepted signs come and go, too. Some new intercepts mirror the necessity for powerful change in how you habitually express yourself. Others suggest that others may respond to you in whole new ways. .

Shifts to the Midheaven and the Ascendant -- the parts that change most -- affect how you experience the aspects, the parts of your birth chart that stay the same no matter where you go. Midheaven changes have a lot to do with your career and public persona. Alteration to the Ascendant is more personal, and reflects more about the way you are comfortable presenting yourself.

Once the Ascendant and Midheaven shifts are taken into account and your relocation astrologer's found some sites that seem to resonate with your hopes and goals, she'll get out her magnifying glass. Sure, the Midheaven and the Ascendant look right, and the Sun, for example, is well aspected here. What about the Moon, the planets and the other planetary bodies? Now she's likely to find more locations to red pencil. There'll be more back story, more details you never hear about. Like a good writer, a good relocation astrologert knows "back story" is important. It's the only way for her to do the best job for you that she possibly can.
