The angles

This section covers the four angles of the chart: the Ascendant, the Descendant, the Midheaven and the Imum Coeli. They are neither planets nor signs, but points calculated from your time and place of birth: without a birth time, they cannot be calculated. Each entry describes the angle's function, the color its sign gives it, the house it opens and the axis it forms with the opposite angle.

Read the Ascendant first, the gateway to the chart, then the Descendant facing it: the AC/DC axis sets your way of arriving against what you look for in other people. Then move on to the Midheaven and the Imum Coeli, the MC/IC axis that links your public vocation to your private roots. Each angle is the cusp of an angular house: the 1st, the 7th, the 10th and the 4th.

In your AstralPro natal report, the Ascendant and the Midheaven appear in the complete aspect grid, alongside the planets. The “House cusps” table gives the degree of each angle at the start of its house, with the sign's ruler in modern rulerships. In chapter IV, the Midheaven opens the Professional life domain, the Imum Coeli opens Family & roots, and the Descendant sheds light on Love life together with the 7th house.
