Meanings of MC positions in different signs of the Zodiac

Consider what the Ascendant, Descendant, MC and IC represent in astrology in the horoscopes of partners. I already wrote about the importance of these two axes in astrology in Chapter 3. They acquire special significance when these four points in the horoscope of one of the partners are aspected by the planets of the other.

Ascendant and Descendant in the horoscopes of partners

So many books are devoted to describing the aspects of connection, trine and square with these points. General principle this: any planet forming a certain configuration with them contributes to the manifestation of the unique features of the position of the two axes in the horoscope of a person (which can be best seen when the MC is exactly 90 from the ascendant).

If in the horoscope the MC is in a square with the ascendant, this does not mean their adverse influence on each other: the MC speaks of a fundamentally different dimension human personality and her role in life. If some planet is in a square with Midheaven, this indicates its influence on the entire personality of a person as a whole, given by points

• ascendant
• and descendant.

Therefore, any aspect of the inner planets of one person with the points of the Ascendant, Descendant, MC and IC in the horoscope of another has great vision.

The ascendant point carries the most information about the appearance, physical appearance of a person, therefore its aspects with planets in another horoscope (especially connection) indicate the physical attraction of partners to each other.

Descendant in partners' horoscopes

The Descendant tells us what impresses us the most in people, and therefore has a huge influence on the choice of a partner. If a planet is in conjunction with the Descendant, it thereby forms an opposition with the Ascendant (and it is also true that its trine with the Ascendant indicates a sextile with the Descendant).

Therefore, a certain position of the descendant in the horoscope also speaks of the physical attraction of people to each other. The difference in conjunction of planets with one of these points is best illustrated by an example. If the Moon of one of the partners is in conjunction with the ascendant of the other, the latter will have a significant impact on the emotions of the first.

Conversely, if the Moon of one connects with the descent of the other, the first partner will emotionally influence the second. Actually we are talking about two directions of energy flow at the pole formed by the ascendant and the descendant.

Midheaven and Imum Coeli dots also play important role in the relationship of two people, although their influence is not manifested in the physical plane.

Aspects of planets with axis MC / IC

MC is a point indicating a person's ideal idea of ​​himself - and this factor can be as significant for the relationship of two as their physical attraction to each other.

Planets that form an aspect with the MC speak to a great extent about the desire of a person to receive recognition from others, while planets associated with the IC point indicate more about the deep emotional needs of a person. Here again we are dealing with two differently directed energy flows. The ability of a person to manifest in life certain personal qualities(MS) depends primarily on the depth and strength of his personality (IC).

Let us again turn to the example: when the Moon of one of the partners is connected to the MC point of the other, the first of them will largely support the emotional and personal aspirations of the other. If the Moon connects with the IC point, then the first partner will already draw inspiration from the emotional connection with the second and even, to some extent, justify his ideals.

Therefore, the aspect of one of the four points of one of the partners with the Moon of the other indicates a strong connection of the emotions of the first with the deep psychic essence of the other.

Of course, the most powerful aspect in this regard is conjunction, although trines, sextiles, squares and quincunxes are also important. The configurations of the Sun, Moon, Venus, Jupiter or the ruling planet of one of the partners with the four main points of the other carry the most information about their relationship, although their aspects with other planets are also important.

Interpretation of the position of the vertex in the horoscopes of partners

Vertex - a point on the zodiac circle, located exactly to the west of the birthplace of a person at the time of his birth. Vertex in the horoscopes of partners - the coordinate in the horoscope is very important. Opened relatively recently (by the American astrologer Edward Jondro), it is associated with karmically determined, predetermined events in a person's life.

Aspects of the planets to the Vertex

I know from experience that the conjunctions and oppositions formed by planets and major vertex points are extremely important, and the more precise the aspect, the better. Connections and oppositions

• sun,
• moon,
• ascendant,
• descendant
• MS or

The IC of one of the partners with the vertex of the other indicates that very important events in the life of both partners will occur in connection with their relationship.

In the horoscopes of Hitler and Eva Braun, both vertices are aspected (the aspects, however, are not very accurate): Hitler's Pluto is connected to Eve's vertex, and her Mars is connected to Hitler's vertex. Aspects also speak of the karmic predestination of their relationship. Lunar nodes and Saturn in both horoscopes.

Corner houses of the horoscope ( natal chart) - the first, fourth, seventh and tenth. The cusps of the corner houses are important in astrological interpretation.

The first house cusp is the Ascendant, the fourth house cusp is IC, the seventh house cusp is Descendant, and the tenth house cusp is MC.

These four points are established by astrological calculations and are known as the corner points of the horoscope. Signs and the planets located in them can say a lot about a person's perception of the world and how the world perceives it.

Ascendant

While the placement of the planets in the signs of the zodiac depends on their movement relative to the Earth, the houses are determined by the rotation of the Earth on its axis. The counting of houses in astrology starts from the point of intersection of the ecliptic with the eastern half of the true horizon in certain moment and in a certain place. The ecliptic is a line on the celestial sphere along which the Sun, from the point of view of an earthly observer, makes its annual movement relative to the Earth.

The Ascendant or Rising degree is the beginning or cusp of the first house. The zodiacal sign in which the Ascendant is located is called the rising sign. For example, about someone who was born at the moment when the sign of Sagittarius was rising on the eastern horizon, they say that he has an Ascendant in Sagittarius. Since the Earth is constantly rotating, the Ascendant or Ascendant changes approximately every four minutes. Therefore, in order to make a personal horoscope, it is important to know exact time birth.

Whenever a person is born, he always bears the imprint of the moment in time at which he was born. The properties of the Ascendant affect how he perceives life and how he relates to new impressions. For example, a person with an Aries Ascendant will have a more positive outlook on life in general than someone with a Virgo Ascendant.

The ascendant is the lens through which a person looks at the world, the worldview depends on it. It can be used to judge the degree of self-confidence, the personality of a person and how individuality manifests itself, in other words, how he wants to look in the eyes of others.

Descendant

Together with the opposite point of the natal chart, the Ascendant forms the horizontal axis of the natal chart. The Descendant is the point on the ecliptic at which, at a given time and place, the ecliptic crosses the western half of the true horizon. The descendant is the cusp of the seventh house.

The Descendant shows a person in relationships with other people - what he consciously or unconsciously strives for in a relationship. The Descendant also symbolizes the aspects of personality that one seeks in others. There is a relationship between the Ascendant and the Descendant - the more developed the qualities of the Ascendant, the stronger the manifestations of the Descendant. The perception of oneself (Ascendant) is formed in communication with others (Descendant).

Midheaven or MC

Another important element astrological chart - the southern point of intersection of the ecliptic with the celestial meridian. It is known in astrology as the Midheaven or MC (lat. Medium Coeli). The middle of the sky (MC), as the highest point of the horoscope, symbolizes aspirations and the direction of movement. It can be used to judge the qualities that a person wants to develop in himself in order to influence society, about goals, the need for recognition, ambitions and career. In accordance with the sign where the Midheaven (MC) is located and the planets in the tenth house, a person seeks to achieve respect, recognition and approval by society in one form or another.

IC

The opposite point from MC is IC (or Imum Coeli), which means "the lower sky. IC symbolizes the most unconscious side of the personality, childhood and family are rooted in IC, one can judge the origins and origins from this point. This point and the planets located in the fourth house testify to the deepest motives, many of which a person is not even aware of, but their influence is no less.

Houses symbolize circumstances.

Circumstances are neutral, and only the way they gain experience gives them flavor. Life gives us innumerable possibilities. The system of twelve houses gives only the basic rules of interpretation. Signs of the Zodiac in which certain houses are located increase the existing possibilities. Those in the houses planets place emphasis on way, which this person perceives a certain situation. Each person's impressions regarding this situation are very different, each experience is unique and unrepeatable.

At the time of birth, the sign rising on the eastern horizon indicates the Ascendant or the beginning of the first house. Thus, a system of dividing signs depending on the houses arises. The Ascendant can be in any of the 360 ​​degrees of the Zodiac. The sign on the Ascendant determines, day by day, how we begin each of our activities.

Depending on the place in the Zodiac, the Ascendant determines the place of other signs in the houses.

Thanks to the sign in which the house is located, the meaning of the house is enriched. Traditionally, each of the signs owns a certain house in accordance with the order of the Zodiac. Thus, the 1st house belongs to Aries, the 2nd to Taurus, etc. The position of the signs in the houses depends on the Ascendant. The sign, occupying this house, at the same time gives additional meaning to its symbolism.

Planets in a house signify specific experiences related to the circumstances it symbolizes. If Mars is in the 1st house, this means that it will exert its influence in the initial phase of each new venture. When the first house is occupied by Venus, it gives a friendly and gentle accent to the person.

The house where it is Sun, determines the circumstances in which we allow our personality to express itself more fully. The house where it is located Moon, means circumstances favorable to the development of our reflexive capabilities. The house where it is Mercury, symbolizes the circumstances in which we find topics for conversation. The house where it is located Venus, represents our favorite activities. House Mars means the circumstances in which we show the most energy, and the house where Jupiter, represents the circumstances in which our temperament is revealed. The house where it is located Saturn, indicates the areas of our greatest responsibility, and the house in which it is located Uranus, makes it possible to spiritually meet with people close to us. Position Neptune in houses indicates circumstances in which we are aware space measurements life. Position Pluto in homes determines the area of ​​our greatest development.

Ascendant- the most individual point of the entire horoscope. This is the point on the ecliptic that rises at the time of birth in the eastern part of the sky. Since the earth rotates, each point earth's surface passes 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 “second of peace” at the moment of birth with all its planetary positions that determine the life path that the born one enters.
For this reason, a person is only born under the sign of Taurus when his ascendant is not the Sun! - located in the sign of Taurus of the zodiac circle.
The firmament in daily rotation passes almost a whole degree every 4 minutes, but due to the inclination of the ecliptic, the ascent of the signs of the circle occurs in different ways. Distinguish quickly and slowly rising signs. Fast ascending signs include Capricorn to Gemini, slow ascending signs from Cancer to Sagittarius. In the northern hemisphere, slowly rising signs on the ascendant are more common than fast rising ones.
The value of the influence of the ascendant it will be easier to understand if we agree to consider that at this point all influence begins. The ascendant gives information about how a person as a whole reacts to all stimuli. outside world and how his continual controversy with the influences of this world manifests itself. Surrounding man the world is endowed with certain properties, and with everything that happens in the world, a person has to reckon with it in the course of his life and adapt to one degree or another.
A person's attitude to the world around him can be either more active or passive, and sometimes he is in a position of rest. property to be in constant readiness to the reaction is determined solely by the ascendant: it affects more 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 of 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 amount of the ability to respond and, perhaps, sort out the impact, all this is determined by the ascendant point.
Not a single person on earth is born with a ready-made character. Only the various attitudes that can be developed are inherited and innate. Whether they actually develop depends on living conditions.
Let's illustrate this statement. Suppose a person goes to a gardener and buys a certain variety of rose bush from him. The gardener says that when the bush blooms, the flowers will be yellow. If we draw an analogy with a person, then we are talking about predestination, that is, the sum of innate attitudes. Nothing can be changed here, and having bought a certain kind of rose, one must expect a certain development. The basis for development is, first of all, the sum of hereditary factors.
Here the bush gets from the gardener to the new owner, he plants it in his garden so that it grows and develops. Time and place now determines new owner 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. Similarly, a person born in a certain place and at a certain time cannot take part in determining this moment. Being 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, appearance in a new living environment, shows the ascendant and with it the horoscope built on its basis.
The rose from the example above can now evolve. If she is placed on good location, where it is light enough, not damp and not dry, it will grow and bloom well. According to its location, the bush will use for itself from the environment as much as it can give.

This example shows that three components matter in development:
The amount of hereditary installations.
The moment at which they are born with these hereditary attitudes.
The environment in which these attitudes develop over the course of life.
In astrological terminology, we can formulate this as follows:
Significance has an innate plasmatic predestination (innate attitudes).
Determined by the ascendant, the sum of the possibilities of reaction to the world and life itself, dependent on the eternal variability of the aspects of the planets and other celestial influences, whereby 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 either thoughts or feelings and leaves no trace. And yet, during life, a unity of the functions of the body, soul and spirit arises, which reacts in a quite 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 again it turns out that only with the help of astrological practice can an accurate assessment of the ascendant be worked out. We speak in detail about the meaning of the ascendant in individual signs of the transdiacal circle within the framework of the zodiacal synthesis.
But first you need to deeply understand the meaning of the ascendant. It is extremely difficult for a non-astrologer to explain this concept. 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 flow the difficulties that arise everywhere in the education of young people. On the one hand, educators cannot or do not want to recognize the importance of hereditary or innate attitudes, on the other hand, they overestimate the influence of the environment. And this - and here follows a surprising conclusion - is conditioned politically.
There are political trends that consider it their main position that a person is formed solely as a result of his life in society, which is the most favorable social relations provide the most positive character development. 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 for development, a good result is very often absent, 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.
In our time, astrology is not universally recognized, although it can indicate the possibilities of personal development and show how one can come through the development of character to success or failure. It can tell you which people are predisposed to success in life from birth, that is, they have an attitude to rise above others and succeed in life. In countries where the policy is that all citizens should be as similar as possible to each other (equalization), where everything is decided by the state, and where everyone, within the framework of social structure performs the functions prescribed by the state, it is impossible to reckon with the basics of astrology, including the predestination of the ascendant.
When calculating the influence of the sign of the zodiac circle, it is of decisive importance which decade the ascending degree belongs to. The first decade (from 0 to 10 degrees) is called cardinal, the second is constant, and the third is adaptive.
If the ascendant falls on the first decade, then we state the always overly accentuated properties of the sign. In the second decade, the properties appear moderately, in the third, their weakening is already noticeable. For example: 1st decade: "doubled" Virgo; 2nd decade: typical Virgo; 3rd decade: adaptable Virgo.

If a planet is located near the ascendant at a distance of 5 degrees before or after, then it overlaps or modifies the indications of the sign of the ascendant. In addition, aspects to it also affect the indicators of the ascendant.
The planet, the ruler of the ascendant, is the very “lucky star”. Which most people have no idea about. How exactly this will manifest itself in a person’s life will tell the position of the ruler in the sign, house and its aspects. All this either strengthens or weakens the ruler. All aspects of symbolic directions, secondary progressions, transits concerning the ascendant play an important role in a person's life.

Target Medium

The point on the ecliptic that reaches its highest position in the sky (that is, the upper culmination) in the daily rotation at the time of birth is called the middle of the sky by astrologers. In the classification of houses, these points mean highest point 10 at home.
When passing at 12 noon, the MC coincides with the position of the Sun. After the 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 in relation to the position of the stars, although they were born in the same place and at the same time. The reason is that the MC changes within 4 minutes by one degree.
From the point of view of psychology, MC means "self-awareness". This refers to the consciousness of one's own "I" - the transition of the general consciousness into the individual consciousness of the personal "I". "I" (ego) is the mental center of the whole personality and, with certain reservations, can be considered as its highest layer and control instance. A person can express himself with the help of feelings, desires and aspirations, but all conscious actions are always controlled by "I".

Own "I" is tied to the development of the individual. In a child who still feels only th, satiety, pain, joy, we still cannot talk about the consciousness of his own "I". The child himself initially speaks of himself in the third person. In the first "stubborn age" (3-4 years) decisive transformations take place. Own "I", which until then only registered events, not 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 the “I” from the “not I” takes place. By "I" - conscious aspirations, we must understand the aspirations directed by the "I" to achieve certain goals in life. For this reason, it is necessary to apply various settings and properties to help these aspirations.
Feelings of desire or unwillingness are necessary to give the individual an emotional driving force, the will must also take part in this, there must be a certain attitude towards other people.
The stronger the connection of the MC with other points of the horoscope, the stronger the individual stands out from total weight. A prerequisite for a correct interpretation here is correct definition and date of birth.
MC in separate sectors of the zodiacal circle (division into decades, as in the ascendant) is considered within the framework of astrological synthesis.
The MC gives fundamental ideas about the original purpose of a person, that is, about his vocation, which should not be confused with his profession, since this does not always coincide. The 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.

If the Moon is well aspected, then this often ensures popularity for people in the acting and bohemian professions. At the same time, the goal is achieved by connecting intuition, the ability to influence the masses (for actors and artists). The art of these people affects the subconscious, the emotions of people.
With bad aspects - the blurring of the goal, the inability to concentrate, assemble, a somewhat blurry initiative. Disappointment in the purpose of life, in one's own existence. If at the same time a strong Saturn on ASC - the impossibility of achieving the goal. P.Globa

Moon conjunct MC - your feelings and emotions are in direct connection with the ego, and if you get authority, success and social position, then you feel at ease. However, if there are obstacles in the way of realizing your ambitions, you feel misunderstood and depressed. You have an innate ability to see what the public likes, so you can become a successful salesperson or public relations success. Women will give you business support, and your mother, no doubt, had a strong influence on your choice. life path. If the Moon is in the 10th house, your mother was your authority as a child. In a man's horoscope, a weak Sun, Mars or Saturn indicates that your opinion of yourself as a man may not be high, and you will need a lot of confirmation to feel more confident.

Trine (trine), Moon sextile - MC

Moon in trine sextile with MC - due to the innate ability to understand the desires and needs of other people, work related to the public will bring you the most success. Because you are full of attention and compassion, people trust your judgment, and sensitivity to the needs of others paves the way for you to succeed. You must rely on your intuition as you learn and know through the senses. You are attracted to traditions and the past, true values, but this does not prevent you from harmonizing them with new trends, and people perceive this positively. You could do well as a real estate broker, mining, agriculture or trade. If the Moon is in the 6th house, you may want to try out a few different careers before making your final choice and deciding on a permanent occupation in life.

Opposition, square Moon - MS

Strong position of the Moon, domestic inclinations, tight family bonds. Without a home and family, they feel miserable and abandoned. They pay tribute to gourmetism and cooking, love to be near the water, often wander from place to place in search of new emotions. Deep feelings, skilled gardeners, love the earth. After marriage - a close relationship with the mother. F.Sakoyan

Moon square-opposition-quincunx with MC - given that you always openly express your thoughts and feelings, you are best avoided or treated very carefully. You quarrel with people, and their desires and needs are not consistent with your feelings, and it is not easy for you to decide what is best to do - please yourself or listen to other people's advice and persuasion. It seems that you often give yourself up to the mercy of your feelings, and maybe at some point in your life you will have to resolve a contentious relationship with your business or life partner. Despite strong attachment to home and family, you will turn away from them when it comes to your own success and the security of your position, especially if the Moon is in the 5th house. If the Moon has many other heavy aspects, your popularity will not be given to you easily, you may become notorious for some negative events or incidents.
