Zodiac signs and aspects in the natal chart: decoding

In the natal chart, zodiac signs play the role of characteristics. Houses, planets, aspects, and other indicators appear to us through the prism of one or another zodiac sign. Hence the phrases: Sun in Leo, Xth House in Gemini or Saturn in Libra. It is the zodiac signs that “give” astrological indicators your traits, which, accordingly, is reflected both in your character and in the events occurring in life.

Aspects same - this is the individual relationship between the planets in the horoscope - nodes, squares and trigons that form the ascending and descending planets. It is the aspects that show those nuances that make you a unique person. Aspects are arcs of a certain size that connect two elements of the horoscope. They are laid out along the ecliptic (the apparent path of the Sun across the sky throughout the year) and are measured in degrees. In the natal chart, aspects are indicated by straight lines of different colors.

Aspects can be harmonious and intense, that is, planets (the qualities they endow and the events they provoke) can correspond to each other, complement each other or interfere, create an imbalance in life and in the psychological sphere.

The aspects in your individual horoscope determine the events that await you at this or that stage of life, your reaction to these events, and the character traits and habits that you can acquire.

“Strange icons” in the natal chart: decoding

It is assumed that you know what the symbols of the zodiac signs and planets look like. But we will now look at the unfamiliar, strange icons located after the listing of the ten symbols of the planets.

Rahu Dharma is denoted by the inverted Greek letter Omega and speaks of your destiny.

Rahu karma is designated as "Omega" - Ω - in upright position and is “responsible” for obstacles, fears and suffering.

Black Moon (Lilith) in the natal chart it looks like an icon of the month (waning moon), shaded black and held on a cross. This is the apogee of the ordinary Moon, the point of the lunar orbit farthest from Earth. Lilith is “responsible” for mistakes, for everything dark that is in our soul, she shows what must be avoided in order to live life with dignity.

White Moon (Selena) in the natal chart it looks like a month icon (growing moon), white, that is, unshaded. This Moon also seems to rest on the cross. Selena is also not an independent planet, but simply the point of the lunar orbit closest to Earth. Selena is “responsible” for your luck, for the opportunities that will be provided to you throughout your life, she tells you what you must not miss in order for life to turn out well.

The Midheaven is designated as a circle with the letter “K” on it.”, and is responsible for your potential in career and social status.

The depth of the Sky is denoted by the Latin letter “H”"and shows what kind of home and what kind of family you need for complete comfort.

The Ascendant is designated as "As" This is your individuality - the impression you yourself (and your actions) make on others.

The Descendant is designated as "Mc”and is “responsible” for your relationships with other people. This icon tells you with which partner you are able to create a harmonious and productive marriage or business union.

Small letter "R" next to planets and other symbols indicates that this object was in a backward, retrograde position at the time of your birth. And this must also be taken into account.

By the way, you can build and interpret a cosmogram (natal chart) not only to draw up an individual horoscope, but also to calculate what events await you or humanity in general on a particular day. To do this, simply when drawing up a natal chart, use the date you are interested in, and not the date of your birthday.

The foundation of the astrological understanding of the world is, first of all, the elements.

Prevailing Fire gives a person an inexhaustible source of energy. The owner of such a horoscope experiences a constant thirst for activity, and only very serious obstacles and long periods of failure can temporarily deprive him of his innate optimism. A fiery person happily shares ideas, energy, and enthusiasm with other people.

Lack of Fire most often expressed in the absence own ideas and incentives to action. In principle, a person can be quite active, but it is as if he has no source of energy, and therefore he has to wait until some representative of the element of Fire throws up an idea, illuminates the field of activity - then it will be possible to get down to business.

Dominant Earth makes a person a materialist, a practical person, standing firmly on the ground and recognizing only real things. The owner of an earthly horoscope, as a rule, is distinguished by thriftiness, thriftiness, efficiency, the ability to do things with his own hands, and diligence in financial matters.

Earth shortage manifests itself as impracticality, detachment from reality. Such people can make any plans they want, but they are unable to implement them on their own.

Prevailing Air makes a person sociable, contactable, interested in receiving and transmitting various types of information. Such people play the role of messengers - they carry the ideas of Fire or material resources Land from where there are many of them to where these resources are lacking.

Lack of Air makes a person uncontactable. He may be very smart, but few people will guess this because it is impossible to get even two words out of such a person. Like an astronaut in a vacuum of space, the owner of a horoscope with a lack of Air feels isolated and needs the participation of other people.

Predominant Water gives a person emotionality, romance, imagination, and the ability to synthesize. Thanks to their ability to sympathize and understand other people without words, representatives of the element of Water play a unifying role in society. They are the very “systemic factor” that makes something coherent out of disparate actions. Water fantasies give depth and perspective to phenomena.

Water shortage manifests itself as a lack of imagination, and therefore locks a person into the framework of dry, realistic schemes, depriving him of emotional support and intuitive understanding with others.

Sometimes one or another element is clearly visible in a person, in other cases different elements are expressed more or less evenly and it is very difficult to understand which of them predominates.

), the position of the ruler and. Now we come to another important point in the horoscope - the Descendant or 10th house.

My Descendant (MC) is in Cancer:

It is also called Regnum, Meridien, House of Honors, Midheaven, House of Honor, Luck, Career.

This is the sector of a person's social status and career. Personal achievements, business success, fame, professional and public reputation are celebrated here. The X house is the focus of responsibility and significance of a person’s duties, as well as his hard work in his chosen field. When the X house is emphasized, a person gravitates toward positions of responsibility that provide power and strength, especially in large government institutions. Prestige and honor are important for a person, but require a certain contribution to society. The planets of the X house also judge the role of the dominant parent in the development of a person’s personality, his profession, reputation and career.

X house - angular, cardinal in nature qualities - one of four main houses of the horoscope, second in importance only to the Ascendant and requiring detailed analysis. It is similar to the sign of Capricorn and is ruled by Saturn. The ruler of its first third is Saturn, the second (middle) is Venus and the third (last) is Mercury. The first third of the house: success on your own, parents and their influence on the profession and social status, father-in-law, father-in-law, home, women, illness of the firstborn. Second third: second third of life, abilities and success in the profession, government agencies, enemies and allies in the profession. Third Third: The last third of life, qualities of mind, honesty and morality. Key concepts: authority, position in society, growth, profession, recognition, honors.

The cusp of the X house represents the highest point of the ecliptic, the zenith of the horoscope, the “Midheaven”, MC, “Medium Coeli”, which with the opposition point IC, the cusp of the IV house, forms the second most important line in the MC-IC horoscope, "Meridian", dividing the zodiac circle into eastern and western halves. They say that the planets closest to the MC are in elevation and have a stronger influence on a person’s fate than others. Often the Midheaven is the critical point of planetary influence on earthly life.

The X house shows what potentials provide a person with realization in the outside world, and what profession he uses as a tool for this realization. From the occupancy of this house, one can conclude what kind of response his activities cause in society, where his ambition is directed and what potentials contribute to the growth of the individual in the social sense. The X house gives an idea of ​​what methods a person uses to achieve his goals and what importance he attaches to his success in society. The opposition of the 10th and 4th houses shows the relative psychological value of family, home life and career. Good and evil find their vivid expression here in the categories of honor and dishonor. The X house is used to judge social connections, popularity and stability of a person’s position. Here he acquires true or false authority, shows organizational abilities, and a desire for prestige and power. With the attitude of “power for the sake of power,” a fall is inevitable as a well-deserved payment for the worthlessness of motives.

MC in Zodiac Signs

The position of the MC in the signs of the Zodiac largely determines a person’s business qualities and his system of life values ​​in relation to his profession and home life, as well as successes and failures in public life. MS represents a person’s image and influences the choice of profession (in describing a profession, a comparison should always be made with ASC), employment opportunities, and a person’s attitude towards public affairs. The greatest deviation from reasonable balance occurs when the lunar nodes are located in the X house. Let us describe the position of the MC in the signs of the four elements.

In the signs of Fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) a person energetically creates and uses opportunities to seize a significant position in society and develop his business activity. He improves his professional skills and cares about the fastest advancement in his career.

In Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) a person stubbornly and persistently strives for his goal. He is smart and productive in his activities. He sets practical goals and strives to achieve tangible results.

In Air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) a person is intellectually oriented and more often chooses humanitarian professions than technical ones. He gets along well with people, which makes his career easier. He develops successfully spiritually and seeks the highest meaning in life.

In Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) a person seeks emotional satisfaction in his activities and intuitively adapts to changing circumstances in his life and profession. In search of the meaning of life, he is guided by feelings.

MS in cardinal signs(Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn). A person pursues his goal straightforwardly and uses all his talents. He dreams of becoming a leader in his business.

MS in fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius). A person slowly realizes the purpose of his life, but realizing it, he moves towards it stubbornly and persistently, without being distracted by extraneous activities.

MC in mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces). A person is inclined to change his interests and intentions, often moving in completely different directions, turning a hobby into a profession and vice versa. His main requirement for his work is that it be interesting. He does not strive for a leadership position in life.

The MC in each specific zodiac sign gives the character its own special features.

> MC in Aries brings aggressiveness and activity to the character, creating conditions for the implementation of plans, gives rise to a discoverer and trailblazer, attentive to the entire world around him and always looking for new impressions and achievements. He craves quick social recognition, but is impatient and impetuous, has a harsh character, and is easily irritated when something happens contrary to his expectations, which often leads to failure and damages his reputation, especially when Mars is afflicted. He often starts several things without finishing any of them. A person wants to make a career, but has a vague idea of ​​goals, desires and means of achieving it. He needs to set himself a real and worthy goal and persistently strive for it. In his career, he envies more successful competitors, always tends to consider himself right and often makes enemies for himself in the profession. Active in public life, optimistic, self-confident, eager to lead. By inheritance, the parent of the opposite sex acquires his energy, excitability and tendency to quarrel. He is distinguished by great ambition, sometimes fanaticism, recklessness, and greed. Much depends on the position of Mars and the Moon in the horoscope, especially with ASC in Cancer. With ASC in Cancer, a person is faithful to traditions and subject to momentary moods. Sometimes there is a dominant parent who wants the person to follow in his footsteps.

If there are indications of trade in the horoscope, the person can benefit from financial transactions. He is a good boss, but he must learn to shift some of the work to his subordinates, and not try to do everything himself. He hides his failures and wears a mask of constant success. With ASC in Cancer or Virgo, the need for self-expression is weaker, but ambition is high, only more hidden.

> MC in Gemini forms a lively, versatile character with a variety of goals and strong motives, with a free, reasonable, devoid of limitations view of life, gives rise to a chaotic and superficial, but multifaceted approach to business.

He does not miss favorable chances to improve his qualifications; he can realize himself as a literary critic or a writer who exposes the ills of society. He is self-critical and does not miss an opportunity to draw the attention of his colleagues to the mistakes they have made, which is why he can acquire a reputation as a bore.

He is characterized by a desire for knowledge, a sense of duty, organizational skills, and a sober and practical attitude to life. His parents teach him to be practical, neat and critical. When Mercury is affected - pettiness, greed for flattery, capriciousness.

The material must be mastered by the student, but not completely, and this is the necessary, eternal paradox of learning.
This position of the 3rd house gives a general abstract and detached attitude towards people, which is difficult for a person to believe with the Ascendant in Sagittarius or Scorpio.
He often does not understand people well, perceiving in them what is interesting to him - general ideas, especially original and impersonal. Their personal problems, earthly and emotional life are of little concern to him, so he can give the impression of a cold and indifferent person, which, in fact, relates more to the III house in Capricorn (on lower levels elaboration), but the latter is much more practical and will not clearly demonstrate his attitude. In fact, a person with the 3rd house in Aquarius is not at all indifferent to people, he just looks at them with his own Aquarius eyes, which, by the way, means friendliness first of all, and mental detachment only then. Another thing is that he needs to learn to perceive people more specifically and together with their vision of the world and problems.
Studying with this position of the 3rd house is easy, at least a person grasps a lot on the fly and perfectly assimilates thoughts; with practical skills the situation is somewhat worse. He likes somewhat intelligent, extravagant teachers with impersonal and generally detached manners, giving the student complete freedom of thinking, which in this case will be very non-standard (and often outright nonsense, which, however, should not be immediately stopped).
A biased and emotional, as well as overly energetic and oppressive teacher can cause complete paralysis of perception by switching the energy intended for learning to war with the teacher, which, especially with the student’s Ascendant in Sagittarius, is unsafe for both.
It is good for a teacher with the III house in Aquarius to teach child prodigies with a physics and mathematics background, which will help his self-realization; In kindergarten or drama theater it will be more difficult for him. It is necessary to develop a balance with energetic spiritual teaching (IX house in Leo) and to assimilate spiritual lessons received from students in the most unambiguous way (A. Podvodny). You are very sociable, as communication is a way of self-expression for you. You get the most joy when you can do it in a unique and personal way. You are even proud that people consider you different from everyone else. You enjoy activities that engage your mind, especially with aspects between Crane and Mercury, which also indicates a talent for learning foreign languages and mathematics. If Sagittarius is rising, you may be inclined to waste your intellectual energy or may be too talkative. If you are Scorpio or Capricorn on ASC, you will be less talkative, but your mind will be just as active. If Uranus does not have too heavy aspects, you find it easy to study and love books and reading. Your relatives probably do not fully understand you, they do not understand what motivates you, so they may consider you the black sheep of the family, but tolerate all your differences, unless Uranus has difficult aspects. May be. at some point in your life - even out of boredom - you will decide to interrupt your education (M. March, D. McEvers). Capable of exchanging ideas that appear to him as a result of flashes of intuition and which he knows how to direct to practical implementation. Progressive in thinking and insists that ideas that have practical value must be tested by time before they are put into practice.
See everything, understand everything, try everything with your own hands - these are his requirements. He must see and know only one undiluted truth. Able to foresee the future of humanity. Prudent, but somewhat absent-minded and selfish. He has an independent mind and is not prone to superstitions and prejudices.
Always full of the best intentions, consistent in his beliefs. Those around him forgive him for his mistakes, because he usually does not have a “second thought”. Does not tolerate restrictions on freedom and oppression.
He quickly comes to mind different ideas, and success is often based on intuition. he is straightforward in speech and behavior. Expresses his personal opinion, regardless of anything. Observes the lives of others and can rarely refrain from commenting on the correctness and ethicality of the actions of others. Often feels very lonely, because... extremely idealistic. His harsh and uncompromising statements often cause general disapproval.
It is easy for him to learn, he grasps a lot on the fly and absorbs thoughts perfectly. He likes extravagant teachers with impersonal and distant manners who give him complete freedom of thought.
He knows how to present his views in an intelligent and interesting way. Has good abstract thinking. Distracted in perception. Has a phenomenal memory.
He develops unusual and unique relationships with loved ones or neighbors who leave his life prematurely and unexpectedly. He has a detached and abstract attitude towards people. He often does not understand people well, perceiving in them only what interests him.
Their personal problems and emotional life are of little concern to him. Therefore, he gives the impression of a cold and indifferent person. Few brothers. Unstable interactions with the immediate environment - from passive to explosive. Friendliness is combined with eccentricity and a detached, contemplative attitude towards people, which does not interfere with altruistic inclinations. There are many friends. In relations with relatives - complete independence. The teaching is easy, the information is grasped on the fly. Interest in everything new and original. Monotonous and boring information is not perceived (P. Globa).

It is no secret to anyone who is interested in astrology that a person’s horoscope is informative and multifaceted. But from what direction should we approach interpretation and not drown in an ocean of different meanings? This article will give you a step-by-step guidehow to read a natal chart.

A typical mistake of astrologers

Often, even in consultation with a practicing astrologer, you can receive the following set of interpretations: you have the Moon in Taurus - you love comfort, delicious food, and Mars in Leo - you are a proud person.

These interpretations may contradict each other. As a result, instead of understanding yourself, you end up with a mess in your head. And the astrologer looks at you with a mystical gaze, believing that you yourself should see the truth.

As they say, personality is a complex thing. For example, at work you are a strict boss, but at home you are a caring mother. The main skill of an astrologer is to learn to synthesize different meanings horoscope, collect from one image of a person.

So, now let's find out how to read a person's natal chart, where to start.

Step No. 1. Elements and temperament

Before analyzing the planets and signs, determine the main and weak elements of the horoscope. The energies of air, fire, earth and water indicate the human temperament. The elements show the general background of the personality, against which the main events will already unfold.

Imagine that you are painting a picture. Sketches, first sketches are planets and signs. And the background, the background, is temperament.

Step #2. Sun, Moon and Ascendant

After we have determined the general background of the horoscope, we move on to analyzing the most important functions of the psyche and soul.

The sun is the core, the center of personality, the true meaning of life, why you came into the world. Astrological predictions in the magazine are based specifically on the sun sign. For example, the Sun in Taurus - the main meaning is beauty, matter, money, practicality and simplicity. , which makes the world full, the force that lifts you off the couch and brings you happiness and success.

Moon - center psychic energy, perception of the world, point of internal comfort. Basic needs, the ability to change, the talent to adapt favorably to circumstances. Mom's image. – this is more than half of the information.
The Ascendant is how you appear in the universe. The physical body, how other people perceive you. Material embodiment of the spirit. shows social and earthly tasks.

• Sun - I, personality, my true meaning
• Moon - how the world is reflected in me, a point of comfort, needs
• Asc is my physical embodiment

Step No. 3. Collecting card details

The next step is to supplement psychological portrait personal planets that show different functions and tasks.

• Mercury – speech, thinking, communication, learning
• Venus – eros, love, finances
• Mars – activity, strength, ability to overcome obstacles

Mercury shows how you think, learn, and work with information. How you communicate, commercial skills, conducting household affairs. Logical or creative thinking.

Venus is a manifestation of love, feelings, a point of pleasure and attractiveness; a man has the image of his beloved woman. Significator of marriage. Pocket money, easy income and spending. Art, creativity in general.

Mars is a manifestation of aggression, a way of overcoming difficulties, problems, defending one’s positions, behavior in conflict situations, starting a business and activities in general.

In addition to the interpretation of the planet in the sign, do not forget about the aspects that make significant additions. For example, Mars in Aries is passionate, quick-tempered, hot-tempered. But the square from Saturn cools him down a little, giving him strategy and endurance.

Step #4: Identify Your Weak Points

Almost every horoscope has vulnerable points: afflicted planets, problematic Houses and tense aspects. And this often brings difficulties and misunderstandingshow to read a natal chart, when everything is fine in one place, but there is a problem in another.
The planet is affected if

• there is a predominance of tense aspects
• being in the sign of exile and fall
• burning by the Sun
• connection with Lilith, evil stars

Stressed areas of the map are the source of problems, blocks and sets that the native needs to work with.

Step 5. Event level

Houses or sectors of the map are responsible for the event level. In other words, the House shows where circumstances require the manifestation of one or another planet. For example, Mars in VIII - disputes over money.
To interpret, you need to evaluate

• manager – is generally responsible for the affairs of a certain area of ​​​​life. Through what and how the House is realized.
• cusp – gives a description
• planets inside - strong positive or negative factors influencing the affairs of the House

Making synthesis

Ascendant- the most individual point of the entire horoscope. This is the point on the ecliptic that rises in the eastern sky at the time of birth. Since the earth rotates, each point on the earth’s surface passes through the entire zodiac circle in a day, so that the ascendant is in each sign of the circle every day. Its position in a certain place depends on the time of birth. It symbolizes the “peace second” at the moment of birth with all its planetary positions that determine life path, which the born person enters.

For this reason, a person is only born under sign of Taurus when it ascendant- and not Sun! - is in the sign of Taurus of the zodiac circle.

firmament in daily rotation Almost a whole degree passes every 4 minutes, but due to the inclination of the ecliptic, the ascending signs of the circle occur differently. Distinguish fast and slow rising signs. TO Fast ascending signs include Capricorn to Gemini, To slowly ascending - from Cancer to Sagittarius. In the northern hemisphere, slow-rising signs on the ascendant are more common than fast-rising signs.

The significance of the influence of the ascendant will be easier to understand if we agree to consider that at this point all influence begins. Ascendant gives information about how a person as a whole reacts to all stimuli of the external world and how his continuous dispute with the influences of this world manifests itself. Surrounding a person the world is endowed with certain properties, and a person has to reckon with everything that happens in the world during his life and, to one degree or another, adapt.

A person’s attitude towards the world around him can be either more active or passive, and sometimes he is in a position of rest. The property of being constantly ready to react is determined exclusively by the ascendant: it influences more powerfully than all the constellations, and determines the sum of all influences perceived by a person.

From the moment of his birth, a person is formed and changed under the influence environment , and its physical, mental and spiritual functions are constantly changing. How these changes occur, as well as the effectiveness of the modes of adaptation, the overall magnitude of the ability to respond and, perhaps, sort out the impact - all this is determined by the point ascendant.

Not a single person on earth is born with a ready-made character. Transmitted by inheritance and congenital are only various settings that can be developed. Whether they actually develop depends on life conditions.

Let us illustrate this statement. Let's say a man goes to a gardener and buys from him rose bush a certain variety. The gardener says that when the bush blooms, the flowers will be yellow. If we draw an analogy with a person, then we're talking about about predetermination, that is, the sum of innate attitudes. Nothing can be changed here, and having bought a certain variety of rose, one must expect a certain development. The basis for development is, first of all, the sum of hereditary factors.

Now the bush gets from the gardener to the new owner, he plants it in his garden so that it grows and develops. The time and place are now determined by the new owner of the bush, and now it depends on his experience and his knowledge of the conditions for the development of roses whether the new habitat is suitable for this plant or not.

We clearly understand that the plant cannot influence the moment of planting in a new place. Likewise, a person born in a certain place and at a certain time cannot take part in determining this moment. When he is born, he comes into contact with a certain environment and in it - and only in it - he has to develop. It is this moment of birth, of appearance in a new living environment, that shows ascendant and along with it a horoscope built on its basis.

The rose from the example above can now develop. If she is placed on good location where there is enough light, not damp and not dry, it will grow and bloom well. According to its location, the bush will use as much of the environment as it can provide.

This example shows that Three components matter during development:

1. The sum of hereditary installations.
2. The moment at which one is born with these hereditary attitudes.
3. The environment in which these attitudes develop over the course of life.

In astrological terminology, we can formulate it like this:

1. What matters is innate plasmatic predetermination (innate attitudes).
2. Determined by the ascendant, the sum of the possibilities of reaction to the surrounding world and
3. Life itself, dependent on the eternal variability of the aspects of the planets and other celestial influences, due to which great diversity arises.

Naturally, not all life events and influences have a noticeable impact. The human senses perceive all possible stimuli, but only partially consciously, while most of all information is not registered by thoughts or feelings and leaves no trace. And yet, throughout life, a unity of functions of body, soul and spirit arises, which reacts in a very definite and typical way to the environment and - from the point of view of astrology - is determined by the ascendant.

We could consider these provisions further, but this would lead too far, since it again turns out that only with the help of astrological practice can an accurate assessment of the ascendant be developed. We talk in detail about the meaning of the ascendant in individual signs of the transdiacal circle within zodiacal synthesis.

But first you need to deeply understand ascendant meaning. It is extremely difficult to explain this concept to a non-astrologer. The reason for this amazing fact that most people do not have the slightest idea of ​​what character actually is and how it is formed. From this ignorance arise the difficulties that arise everywhere in the education of young people. On the one hand, educators cannot or do not want to recognize the significance of hereditary or innate attitudes, on the other hand, they overestimate the influence of the environment. And this - and here comes a surprising conclusion - is determined politically.

There are political trends that consider as their main position that a person is formed solely as a result of his life in society, that the most favorable social relations give the most positive development of character. Hereditary - innate - abilities supposedly do not play any role, and only the correct “social order” is able to guarantee a person’s positive development and happiness.

On the other hand, experience proves that under the most favorable conditions of development, very often there is no good result, since negative attitudes are dominant. Conversely, even in an absolutely bad environment, in the presence of strong and favorable attitudes, the development of an outstanding personality can occur.

Nowadays, astrology is not universally recognized, although it can indicate the possibilities of personality development and show how one can achieve success or failure through the development of character. It can tell you which people are predisposed from birth to success in life, that is, they have the attitude to rise above others and succeed in life. In countries where the policy is for all citizens to be as similar as possible to each other (equalization), where everything is decided by the state, and where everyone, within social structure performs the functions prescribed to him by the state, it is impossible to take into account the basics of astrology, including the predestination of the ascendant.

When calculating the influence of the sign of the zodiac circle, the decisive factor is which decade the ascending degree belongs to. The first decade (from 0 to 10 degrees) is called cardinal, the second - constant, the third - adapting.

If the ascendant falls on first decade, then we state that the properties of the sign are always overly emphasized.

In the second decade, the properties appear moderately.

In the third, their weakening is already noticeable.

For example: 1st decade: “double” Virgo; 2nd decade: typical Virgo; 3rd decade: adaptable Virgo.

If there is a planet close to the ascendant at a distance of 5 degrees before or after, then it overlaps or modifies the indications of the ascendant sign. In addition, the indicators of the ascendant are also influenced by aspects to it.

Planet, ruler of the ascendant, is that very “lucky star”. Which most people have no idea about. How exactly this will manifest itself in a person’s life will be determined by the position of the ruler in the sign, house and its aspects. All this either strengthens or weakens the manager. All aspects of symbolic directions, secondary progressions, transits related to the ascendant play an important role in a person’s life.

Medium Goals

A point on the ecliptic, which reaches its highest position in the sky in the daily rotation (that is, the highest culmination) at the moment of birth, astrologers call midheaven. In the classification of houses, this point means the highest point of the 10th house.

When passing at 12 noon MC coincides with the position of the Sun. After ascendant This is the second most important point in the horoscope, and it is unlikely that two individuals will have the same position of the stars, although they were born in the same place and at the same time. Reason - MC changes by one degree within 4 minutes.

From the point of view psychology MC stands for " self-awareness" This refers to the consciousness of one’s own “I” - the transition of general consciousness into the individual consciousness of the personal “I”. “I” (ego) represents the spiritual center of the entire personality and, with certain reservations, can be considered as its highest layer and control authority. A person can express himself through feelings, desires and aspirations, but all conscious actions are always controlled by the “I”.

Consciousness of one's own "I" tied to the development of the individual. In a child who only feels satiety, pain, joy, we cannot yet talk about the consciousness of his own “I”. The child himself initially talks about himself in the third person. At the first “stubborn age” (3-4 years), decisive transformations occur. The self, which previously only recorded events without realizing itself, becomes the subject of experience. At the same time, the symbolic unity of the child and the world is resolved: the first separation of “I” from “not I” occurs. By “I” - conscious aspirations, we must understand aspirations directed by the “I” to achieve certain goals in life. For this reason, it is necessary to apply various attitudes and characteristics to help these aspirations move towards success.

Feelings of desire or reluctance are necessary to impart an emotional driving force to the individual, the will must also take part in this, there must be a certain attitude towards other people.

The stronger connection of the MC with other points of the horoscope, the more the individual stands out from the general mass. A prerequisite for correct interpretation here is the correct definition and data of the time of birth.

The MC in individual sectors of the zodiac circle (divided into decades, like the ascendant) is considered within the framework of astrological synthesis.

MC gives fundamental ideas about a person’s original goal, that is, about his calling, which should not be confused with his profession, since this does not always coincide.

MC expresses the goal that everyone wants to fulfill in the world around him, his individual aspiration, for which he lives.

In essence, the MC reflects a passionate desire for the fulfillment of which a person feels born.
