The Angles

The angles are the four cardinal points of the natal chart. They are not planets, but sensitive points calculated from the exact time and place of birth — the skeleton on which the whole chart rests.

01The horizon axis

Self and other

The axis that cuts the chart horizontally, from east to west. It defines how we present ourselves and what we seek in others.

02The meridian axis

Public and private

The axis that cuts the chart vertically. It separates the visible, social dimension of life from the hidden, intimate one.

03Lunar points

Beyond the four angles

Several other calculated points enrich the chart. They are not planets, but intersections, averages, or orbital extremes — each carrying a specific symbolic weight.
