The Descendant in the Natal Chart
What is the descendant and why is it important in astrology?
There are four angles in the chart, the ascendant, the descendant, the Immum coeli and the Midheaven. You can read more about these in this article. Angles are the cusps of the angular houses, which are the most powerful in the birth chart as they represent fundamental areas of life (identity, family and roots, partnerships and relationship with other people, your profession and general direction in life).
The descendant falls into the seventh house, or it’s the cusp of the seventh house in some house systems like Placidus. It corresponds to the point of the sky which was setting on the western horizon at the time when you were born.
The zodiac sign on your descendant is usually one you don’t really identify with. It can be described as your shadow self. Because of this, we tend to project this sign onto other people. On an unconscious level you are attracted to people who display the traits of this sign strongly.
The saying opposites attract is definitely true when it comes to ascendants and compatibility. If someone’s rising sign is the same as the sign on your descendant, you are more likely to be attracted to them.
