Astrological Angles

In astrology, the Ascendant, Descendant, Midheaven (MC), and Imum Coeli (IC) are the four angles of the birth chart. These points define the chart’s main axes, marking where the sky meets the horizon and meridian at the moment of birth.

The angles are among the most important points in chart interpretation because they shape the structure of the chart and highlight key areas of life. They are closely connected with identity, relationships, home, roots, direction, and public life.

This guide explains the meaning of the Ascendant, Descendant, Midheaven, and Imum Coeli, showing how these astrological angles influence the way a birth chart is read and understood.
