your mc, or medium coeli, helps you understand your place and goals in life.

your ic, or imum coeli, is your inner self and gives you an idea of what your family life is like. it is the opposite of your mc - for example, if your mc is cancer, the opposite of cancer is capricorn, so your ic would be capricorn.
