THE
ANGLES
OF THE HOROSCOPE
- In the horoscope,
the cusps of the right angles
created by a horizon and meridian axes are called the angles of chart.
These important points on the horoscope are called 1) the Ascendant, 2) the Midheaven or Medium Coeli
(M.C.), 3) the Descendant,
and 4) the Imum Coeli (I.C.).
- The Ascendant
- The Ascendant is the
exact degree in the zodiac
which was on the eastern horizon, or rising on the horizon if you will,
at birth. The term Ascendant and Rising sign are interchangeable. As
the Earth revolves, this point is constantly changing. Every 4 minutes
the degree of the Ascendant changes. This is why it is so important to
know the exact time of birth when calculating a horoscope.
-
- The Ascendant and
the Sun sign are considered
equally important by astrologers. Because this is so important, when
talking to other astrologers I would describe my astrological makeup as
a Pisces Ascendant, with Sun in Aquarius and Moon in Libra. Astrologers
vary on how much importance to place on the Ascendant. Most agree that
it does influence appearance and many outward traits. As a matter of
fact, when one gets in the parlor game of guessing the Sun sign of
another, they are much more likely to correctly identify the Ascendant
rather than the Sun sign. We project the traits of the sign that we
have in this rising position. Some astrologers believe that the
Ascendant sign represents traits that the individual is inclined to be
striving toward. There is general agreement that the Ascendant and the
first house of the horoscope are about the self. This is the most
personal part of the horoscope. Planets near the Ascendant define
characteristics about the personality.
-
- The Medium
Coeli or Midheaven
- The Medium Coeli
(MC), or Midheaven as it is more
popularly known, is at the top of the chart. It is the point furthest
south in the zodiac. The Midheaven point is the cusp of the 10th house.
The Midheaven represents your most exposed position, your public
demeanor, and how you present yourself to the world at large. This
position is associated with the career and with that for which you
strive to achieve. Many planets in this sector may show that much of
your activities receive attention. You get credit (or blame) for your
actions.
-
- The Descendant
- The Descendant is a
point opposite the Ascendant.
It is the degree of the zodiac residing on the western horizon at the
moment of birth. In the chart this point marks the cusp of the 7th
house and the beginning of outward expression. Houses 1 through 6 have
had a personal tone, but now they will begin to relate to our
interaction with others. The Descendant suggests how you relate to
those nearest to you. The seventh house is sometimes called the house
of partnerships and marriage. It is very fortunate when your partner's
Ascendant is in the same sign as your Descendant because this mirror
image of each other produces the most constructive spousal
relationships.
-
- The Imum
Coeli or Nadir
- The Imum Coeli (IC)
or Nadir is opposite the
Medium Coeli. This is the lowest point on the horoscope and the point
furthest north in the zodiac. The IC is the cusp of the fourth house.
This is the area of our deepest concern for security and shelter. The
issues here are home, traditions, stability, and nurturing. This is
where you seek comfort and protection. Your activities here will be
private and concealed. When many planets are near the IC,
accomplishments may not get the notoriety they deserve.
