What the Descendant Reveals About You
The Descendant (DC) is one of the four fundamental angles of the natal chart. It sits on the cusp of the 7th House, the house of relationships, partnerships, and the "You" you seek in others.
How the Calculation Works
The Descendant is the point exactly opposite the Ascendant. If your Ascendant is in Aries, your Descendant is in Libra. The calculation requires precise date, time, and place of birth, as it changes sign approximately every two hours.
The Descendant and Relationships
The Descendant reveals the ideal partner qualities you unconsciously seek, your relationship style, what you project onto others, professional partnerships, and the relational challenges you must learn to manage.
The Ascendant-Descendant Axis
The Ascendant and Descendant form an axis representing the fundamental polarity between "I" and "You." The Ascendant is how you present yourself; the Descendant is what you seek to complete yourself. The qualities of the Descendant are often those you admire (or criticize) in others.
