Angle

Key chart points like the Ascendant and Midheaven.

Angles are the four anchor points of a chart: Ascendant (ASC), Descendant (DSC), Midheaven (MC), and Imum Coeli (IC). They set the house framework and are highly sensitive to timing and transits.

Example

A planet conjunct the Ascendant is highly visible in personality and first impressions.
