Using the Midheaven Calculator

The Midheaven Calculator helps you determine your Local Sidereal Time, Right Ascension of Midheaven, Midheaven (MC), and Ascendant based on your birth information. Follow this step-by-step guide to use the calculator effectively.

Step 1: Enter Your Birth Information

  • Birth Date: Choose your birth date using the calculator’s date input field. Ensure the date is between January 1, 1900, and December 31, 2100.
  • Birth Time: Enter your birth time in a 24-hour format. For hours and fractional minutes, use values such as 14.5 for 2:30 PM. Ensure your entry is a number between 0 and 23.99, using increments of 0.01 as needed.
  • Birth Place Longitude: Input the longitude of your birth location. The valid range is -180 to 180 degrees. You may enter to six decimal points of precision if required.
  • Birth Place Latitude: Enter the latitude where you were born, ensuring it is a value between -90 and 90 degrees. Precision can be up to six decimal places.

Step 2: Review Your Input

Once you’ve filled out the input fields, double-check all values for accuracy. Accurate results depend on the correctness of these inputs.

Step 3: Calculate Results

  • Local Sidereal Time: The calculator employs the formula to compute the Local Sidereal Time using your birth time and location details. This result is displayed in hours with four decimal places.
  • Right Ascension of Midheaven (RAMC): Based on the calculated sidereal time, the RAMC is determined and shown in degrees with two decimal accuracy.
  • Midheaven (MC): Using trigonometric calculations involving RAMC, the Midheaven angle is calculated and presented with two decimal places as a degree measurement.
  • Ascendant: The Ascendant angle is computed using a formula involving RAMC and latitude, displayed in degrees with precision to two decimal points.

Conclusion

After completing these steps, review your calculated results to better understand your astrological placements. Each result provides specific insights into your birth chart but should be interpreted comprehensively within an astrological context.
