In astrocartography, planets are mapped according to their angular positions at the time of your birth. These are called angles: Ascendant (ASC), Descendant (DSC), Midheaven (MC), and Imum Coeli (IC). When a planet is aligned with one of these four points, it creates a line across the world map, showing where that planet’s energy is most strongly felt.

1. Ascendant (ASC) Lines

• Represents how you appear to the world and how others perceive you.
• Planets on the Ascendant express themselves directly through your personality and physical presence.
• Example: A Venus-ASC line highlights charm, beauty, and attractiveness in those locations.

2. Descendant (DSC) Lines

• Represents relationships, partnerships, and “the other.”
• Planets on the Descendant show how you connect with others and what kind of people you attract.
• Example: A Mars-DSC line may bring passionate, dynamic, or even confrontational partners.

3. Midheaven (MC) Lines

• Represents career, status, reputation, and public life.
• Planets on the MC influence how you are seen in society and your professional direction.
• Example: A Jupiter-MC line may bring career success, opportunities, and recognition.

4. Imum Coeli (IC) Lines

• Represents home, family, inner security, and roots.
• Planets on the IC affect your private life and emotional foundation.
• Example: A Moon-IC line may create a deep emotional connection to home and family life in those regions.

Why These Lines Matter

The ASC, DSC, MC, and IC lines show the most powerful points where planetary energy becomes active. They reveal where you can express yourself (ASC), build relationships (DSC), grow your career (MC), or feel grounded at home (IC).

Understanding these projections helps astrologers guide you in choosing places for personal growth, relationships, or professional success.
