Points in the Chart
Vertex
The Vertex and anti-Vertex are points calculated within the framework of the chart, one exactly opposite the other using your exact birth time.
​
They are both connected to meetings with others. There is a feeling of destiny and karmic attached to the significance behind these meetings. Known as points of destiny, sometimes creating turning points in life. These meetings with others seem fateful and, in many cases, it is as if you have known this individual previously.
​
The Vertex has similarities to the Descendent and the Anti-Vertex has similarities to the Ascendant.
​
The Vertex, which is associated with others and our meeting, suggest a feeling that these individuals may fill something that is missing within us, (almost having the effect of assisting in making us feel whole). There is the feeling of having very little control over the situation and our meeting point. It feels fated in some manner, like it was meant to happen.
​
The Anti-Vertex has similarities with the Ascendant, but it seems as though when we meet these individuals there is no choice in the matter and once again fated on some level. With the Anti-Vertex, these people affect us but not with the same impact as the Vertex. The Anti-Vertex people do not make us feel whole, but they can play a significant role in our lives. The experiences we share, once again, feel fated and affect us in personal terms.
​
The Vertex and Anti-Vertex can be used in many different purposed charts, including the Natal chart, the Progressed chart, and the Solar chart. When connected with Planets or points in these charts, the Vertex and Anti-Vertex are extremely significant. The Planet that is contacted especially by Conjunction, but also by Opposition, Trine, Sextile and Square will define the energies brought forward.
​
A couple of examples might be a Saturn contact suggesting someone enters our life who offers more responsibilities and may assist or hold us back in our objectives particularly tied to our career. This person may be older or someone in authority.
​
If the Moon is involved, it could be someone with an emotional connection, or someone who is tied in some way to family and is highly sensitive. Don’t forget it may just be someone who enters your life because of an important experience that is required.
