ASTROLOGY
The
Angles
-
- The cusps
of the right angles created by the horizon and the meridian axes
are called the angles of the chart. The important points on the
horoscope are called as:
- The Ascendant
- The Midheaven
or the Medium Coeli
- The Descendant
- The Imum
Coeli or the Nadir
-
- The
Ascendant
The Ascendant
is the exact degree in the zodiac which was on the eastern horizon,
or rising on the horizon at the exact time of ones birth. The
term Ascendant and Rising sign are interchangeable. As the Earth
revolves, this point constantly changes. Every 4 minutes the degree
of the Ascendant changes.
-
The Ascendant
and the Sun sign are considered equally important. The Ascendant
influences the appearance and many outward traits of a person.
The Ascendant also represents traits that the individual is inclined
to be striving toward. The Ascendant and the first house of the
horoscope are about the self. This is the most personal part of
the horoscope. Planets near or in the Ascendant define characteristics
about the personality.

-
- The
Medium Coeli or Midheaven
The Medium
Coeli or the Midheaven is at the top of the horoscopic chart.
It is the point further south in the zodiac. The Midheaven point
is the cusp of the 10th house. The Midheaven represents ones most
exposed position, his public status, and how he presents himself
to the world at large. This position is associated with the career.
-
- The
Descendant
"The Descendant
is a point opposite to that of the Ascendant in the horoscope
chart. 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 and compatible relationships.
-
- The
Imum Coeli or Nadir
The Imum
Coeli or Nadir is opposite the Medium Coeli. This is the lowest
point on the horoscope and the point furthermost north in the
zodiac. The Imum Coeli is the cusp of the fourth house. This is
the area of our deepest concern for security and shelter. This
is concerned with 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 Imum Coeli , accomplishments may not get the notoriety they
deserve.
