Places of Power
These places aren't physical bodies in the solar system, but positions in the sky. Lilith, North Node and South node are directions based on the way the Moon orbits around the Earth.
Lilith ⚸
Lilith is the part of you that refuses to be domesticated. It’s your raw power, your sacred rage, your unfiltered desire - the shadow feminine that remembers what it means to be sovereign. Where Lilith lives in your chart is where you were never meant to play nice… only real.
North Node ☊
The North Node is your soul’s next horizon. It marks the direction of your growth - not where you’re comfortable, but where you’re called to evolve. Where the North Node sits in your chart shows the terrain your spirit came here to explore, stretch into, and become.
South Node ☋
The South Node is your soul’s inheritance. It holds the patterns, skills, and tendencies you’ve carried across lifetimes - the familiar ground you’re born knowing. Where it shows up in your chart reveals what’s easy, instinctive, and ancestral… but also where comfort can become a cage if you stay too long.
The Soul Compass
Ascendant, Midheaven, Descendant and Imum Coeli are sometimes referred to as "angle points", "the cardinal cross", or even the "axis of identity and purpose". I like soul compass because it conveys the sense of guidance that is the heart of Z13 astrology.
And soul compass also sounds kind of haunting and poetic, and my Moon in Pisces just vibes with that!
Ascendant (ASC)
The Ascendant is your soul’s doorway into this life. It’s how you greet the world — and how the world greets you.
More than a mask, it’s your interface: the energy that filters first impressions, initiates experiences, and sets the tone for your journey.
Where your Ascendant lands shows what you lead with, how you move through space, and the first spell your presence casts.
Midheaven (MC)
The Midheaven is your north-facing window — the place in your chart that looks toward purpose, public impact, and legacy.
It’s not just career — it’s calling. It’s the direction you grow into, the role you’re here to embody when the world’s watching.
Where your MC lands shows what your spirit builds in the daylight — what you stand for when you rise.
Descendant (DSC)
The Descendant is your sacred mirror. It reflects the qualities you’re drawn to, the partnerships you seek, and the lessons you learn through others. Often, it shows what you unconsciously crave — and what your soul came here to integrate through relationship.
Where the DSC sits in your chart is where “I” meets “we”… and where intimacy becomes initiation.
Imum Coeli (IC)
The IC is your root system — the quiet ground beneath your becoming. It speaks to your origins: your lineage, your childhood, your inner sanctuary.
It’s the emotional foundation you build from — and the soil where your soul first bloomed.
Where the IC rests in your chart shows what home feels like, what safety means to you, and what must be healed or honored before you rise.
