Your Midheaven (MC) speaks of your reputation and public persona and relates to your career. If you have a Scorpio Midheaven, you're ambitious and have a subtle but powerful and commanding public persona.
What a Scorpio Midheaven Represents
The Midheaven (MC) is one of the four important angles of your birth horoscope. It's the point at the top of a natal chart. The sign on your MC can describe the role you play to gain prominence in your career, avocation, community, or social situations. It speaks of your aspirations, ideals, sense of purpose, and visible accomplishments. The sign on your MC suggests how you'll make your mark in the world and what makes you feel the most alive. It can be your highest aspiration when young. It takes time and maturity for the sign in the MC to be fully realized.

An interesting example of a Scorpio MC is the classically trained actor, Sir Anthony Hopkins. He has been cast in many intense and scary villainous film roles but initially gained notoriety for portraying the depraved Hannibal Lecter in Silence of the Lambs. In an article on DailyActor.com, Hopkins admits to being an actor who finds it easy to be scary on screen when he says, "Oh yes, I know I can. It's a technique. When I read the script of The Silence of The Lambs, I thought, 'Ah, I know how to play this guy.' You get a sense of how you could do it: the more subtle and quiet you are, the scarier it is."
