Sun opposite Midheaven in your natal chart makes you a sincere, refined, self-contained, and modest person. You are more likely to be shy and reserved than outgoing and friendly. Feeling no need to pay attention to the rest of the world, you may seclude yourself from your home, family, and work.

You probably fear public speaking and public exposure in general. But it also takes self-confidence, faith, and strength to set and stick to your agenda. In your heart, you know what suits you and your loved ones. It is good that others’ standards or expectations do not sway you. However, a competitive environment can make your enemies see you as cold, reactionary, and out of touch.

You are hardworking, loyal, generous, and noble. You may face hardships early in life, with added responsibilities. You may care for family members or be a caretaker or representative for a department or group. But at other times, you may rely on a family member, charity, or a government department.

Sun Opposite Midheaven Transit

Sun opposite Midheaven transit requires you to attend to domestic affairs and family matters, and you will need to withdraw into yourself and think things over. This is a time for personal development, not for surging into the outside world. Even if you did, you would likely face resistance from others in your career.

You may feel demoralized if you get involved with matters unrelated to your inner needs and concerns. You may need to spend some time alone or with the closest loved ones in your world, and you should do so to determine your needs and how to satisfy them.

Enriching, satisfying experiences closer to home will also help prepare you for a new thrust into the external world of your profession and the public.

It renders the Native obvious to many discommodities; makes him odious to great Men; to loose his Office, honour or preferments upon a sudden, changes and perverts all his former good fortunes; a Trades-man, cracks his credit, or turnes Bankrupt, &c. so as now he runs in danger of being imprisoned, banished, and many times, (if the Nativity threaten) it is Sentenced to death by the judgment of his Prince, or some of his Officers. Where the Parents are living, they partake of the infelicity in one kinde or other; either in the losse of their Estate by fire, or other mundane casualties. In a Kings Nativity he blemishes his honour by pride, and neglecting his People; he scornes his Nobility and Gentry, for which he never recovers their love, but at last smarts for it. [Christian Astrology, William Lilly, 1647, p.672-673.]

This interpretation for Sun opposite Midheaven transit also applies to Solar Eclipse and New Moon opposite Midheaven.
