These lines are akin to four points found on an astrological chart, signifying self (Ascendant at 9pm), other (Descendant at 3pm), where we’re coming from (Ilum Coli – around 6pm) and going to (Midheaven – around the midnight position). Not only do the lines feature the label of the planet’s glyph, you will also see the label ‘Ac’ or Ascendant, ‘Dc’ or Descendant, ‘Mc’, the Midheaven, and ‘Ic’, the Imum Coeli. They are found at the 270, 90, 180, and 360° positions on the natal chart, respectively – or 9pm, 3pm, 6pm and 12pm on a clock face. There are four lines for each planet, reflecting the four 90° angles within a circle. This axis reflects the four cardinal points in astrology, resonating with the symbolism of Aries (self), Libra (other), Cancer (home) and Capricorn (career). You’ll see your place of birth marked on the map with a cross surrounded by a circle, representing ‘earth’, then many more lines, cast across the globe. Locational Astrology projects the planetary bodies onto a map, showing where they are ‘angular’, from the perspective of your moment of birth. We’re considering the astrological outlook, a kind of weather forecast from that one place. When we look at the natal chart we’re considering the position of the planets from one perspective – our place of birth on earth.
