Guest guest Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Dear Rama Following is an extract from a website " http://home.istar.ca/~starman/astrofaq.shtml " " " " " " The Ascendant has an opposite Point called the Descendant, which is exactly 180 degrees away in the circle of the zodiac. The line or axis which connects these two important Points is called the Horizontal Axis or simply the Horizon. This horizontal axis is the line which defines the starting cusp or boundary line of two important Houses: the First House and the Seventh House, which are exactly opposite each other in every horoscope chart (i.e. 180 degrees apart). The Midheaven There is a vertical axis formed by connecting the highest point in the chart, the Midheaven, with the lowest point, the I.C.. This line forms the cusps of two other important Houses (the Tenth House and the Fourth House) in every horoscope chart except those drawn using the Equal House system. The Midheaven is also called the M.C., an abbreviation for its Latin term: Medium Coeli. The I.C. is an abbreviation for another Latin term: Immum Coeli. On a horoscope chart, if you see the Sun located at the M.C., it must be a chart for a birth or other event at 12:00 PM, because Noon is defined as the time when the Sun reaches its highest point in the sky. If the Sun is at the I.C., it must be Midnight. The House System is a lot like a 24-hour clock with 12 at the top and 24 at the bottom, and the Sun is like the hour hand.
