What the Mars MC line means
On your Mars MC line the planet Mars was directly overhead at your birth. Astrocartographers read this as Mars's themes of drive, courage and conflict becoming especially strong in the area of career, reputation and public life. The effect is said to be strongest within roughly 150 miles (250 km) of the line and fades with distance.
Places on this line are traditionally good for competitive careers, starting a business, sports. The shadow side to keep in mind is clashes with bosses and authority. Many astrologers suggest visiting before moving: notice how you feel and what happens to you there.
