While the MC represents who you are to the world and what you are here to give to it the IC represents how those qualities are brought together.

If the MC is the celebrity, the IC is the manager.

But why is it treated as if it i so insignificant?

How has your IC influenced your life guys? And what house does yours fall in? (For those who follow the whole house system)

I'm really curious about this too. I don't understand why there's so little on it.

The IC is very personal. It is like the moon. It is kind of the person "unmasked" Hence, that which touches it in synastry, makes for an intimate kind of understanding.

The IC represents what you experienced since your birth that shaped your adult personality.

It represents deep seated experiences that get stored in your chakras for better or worse that affect you as an adult. These are mostly hidden from your conscious mind.

The MC/IC axis is powerful. The 4 angles are very raw and pure with its energy

I'm sure many have seen me say this before.. But, the IC is sometimes referred to the area in which the soul both enters and leaves the body.. It's a very personal point.

To me, if the ascendant is our external self, then the IC is the deepest part of ourselves.. Possibly even having one of the strongest resonances with the soul out of all the angles..

The IC has always been an interesting point to me.. Even though it has always been kind of elusive.


EDIT: I just saw how you made more of a point that you are curious about our experiences with our IC.. Hmm.. Ima have to think about that..

experience wise, well in synastry I have a stellium of planets hugging someone's IC in the 4th. He said when he's with me it feels warm, like he's coming home and that there's a timeless understanding between us. don't underestimate it's power.

Pluto is currently transiting my IC at 13*57 Capricorn and he is forcing me to transmute everything I experienced as a child.

"The IC represents where the soul enters and leaves the body"

This explains why we see shooing stars at night...

The MC/IC axis gives a very deep and powerful description of who you are and where you came from. While the ASC represents the "face"...The MC represents the facial expression and the IC represents what made us make that expression.

This also proves why opposite signs are so similar to each other even though we think they are different.

My IC is in Gemini which is in my 5th house. So I guess i should appreciate it much more huh?

I have a feeling when I DIE, nothing but my writings and creative works will be left. I'm working on my next novel, a music project, and my screenplay. I have big plans guys, you may not know me now, but theres a great chance you will see my face in the future.

Weird thing is, I've never seen myself living past the age of 33 and I'm currently 25. Which is funny because Readingthestars mentioned that when Uranus touches our IC we're goners. Uranus is currently in Aries. Not much time left!! LOL :-D

It is like your buried inner child. This part of us is very primal and is held deeply by us and influences us quite a bit.

I think if we are going to look at the IC though, we should also be looking at any planets in the 4th house.. Especially if they are relatively close to the IC.. (I would say within 10 degrees.. Even though I wouldn't consider that a conjunction..)

Mines in Aqua, so I survived it. And I have a very long time before I have to worry about it again.

I have Moon conjunct Neptune at 8 Capricorn and my IC is at 13 Capricorn.

Pluto first transformed my feeling side of life by bringing me to a higher level/dimension and then when he approached my IC brought debris up that was negatively affecting me from my childhood. I think transit Uranus square my IC was a big reason too.

I LOVE THE IC. It speaks volumes in a chart.

In synastry, that's about as intense as a nodal connection imo

My IC is a degree away from my dad's ascendant, so while I don't feel I had a very "Sagittarian" childhood (filled with travel) I know that I inherited my curious mind from him. Plus I'm like a moth to the flames when it comes to Sagittarius men.

good question! I see mc/ic as meridian axis,
I see BML/PRIAPUS as an axis perigee/apogee, NN/SN as an axis. Why/how where you are going without knowing where you are coming from is so strong I HAVE NO IDEA. I guess because astrologers are just people. We refer to twelve signs but they are in fact 6 pairs.

Yep! Definitely! One of the most strong areas to be aspected in synastry.. And I think that is one of the areas in which it is activated the most.

Moon-IC aspects, because of what I said earlier, is generally a good indication of soul relation. Especially if there is also aspects going on between IC rulers and the Moon and such.. The IC ruler and IC, in my opinion, is something to really look at in synastry..

The IC shows your closest associations. People who are close to you will have their planets/points or composite planets hitting your IC. It's like the bullseye for family matters.

For example, even without birth times for everyone, it looks like my father's IC affected the family:

My father's IC: 14 Aries

Brother #1: Venus 13 Libra
Brother #2: Nothing much, without birth time
Sister: Sun 14 Cancer, Saturn 12 Aries
Brother #3: Mercury 14 Aries, sun 16 Aries
Brother #4: Mercury 19 Aries
Myself: Jupiter 16 Aries, sun 15 Cap

My daughter's ASC: 14 Aries

I could track it more extensively, but I think there's enough there to show what I mean.

it feels amazing and like you've finally come home when it's activated. and if there are other indicators of romantic connection it is the most beautiful feeling ever. it feels like you can let out a sigh of relief and completely relax in each other's arms.

Because the IC is really not studied as extensively as ASC and MC (these are yang influenced points), these 2 points are outward and can be studied somewhat objectively and can be seen physically.

The IC is too subjective to get a handle on it, it varies too much person to person so it's hard to test in a real World environment. But this does not lessen its effects. The IC and Descendant are yin influenced -- these 2 points are reflective and also these points can be the most abused as this is the area of the chart that we give away to others. Our power is not as strong in this area of the chart until we learn how to use it effectively, we become affected by what we experience, because "others" are trying to change us, manipulate us, or have authority over us. Think of early childhood or even into adulthood -- children are powerless against family or continue to be manipulated by family or as they become parents themselves they carry the same "roots" to their children etc. It can manifest many ways. The descendant is where people want something from us, they take freely, and we are at the mercy of these relationship dynamics.

I personally believe the IC reveals itself always and strongly influential in each person's life that it would be a great error not to include it. If you know how to read charts and use Psychology you can unearth why a person is the way they are internally. The IC becomes even more important as we progress in life because it is the core of where we came from and genetically what we pass on through our efforts, this is not necessarily children, but what we leave behind -- our words, ideas, gifts to others, how we affected people internally with just being ourselves.

I do wish Astrodienst and astrology programs would include a on/off feature for the IC and Descendant aspects.

Anything around Aries 14 has the Fixed Star Alpheratz:

"Fixed star Alpheratz is a white-purple binary fixed star in the head of the Princess, or Chained Woman, constellation Andromeda. She is so very close to her fathers heart. Cor Regis, The Heart of the King, is only 2 minutes away at 14 ♈ 20 in constellation Cepheus...It is a fortunate fixed star, being Jupiter and Venus in nature. It gives independence, freedom, love, riches, honor and a keen intellect."

Your Father's legacy is bringing this Star into his own being and into his family's legacy. Does your family as a whole exhibit any of these Alpheratz traits?

Uranus is conjunct my IC right now. Peace out, y'all.

On a serious note, I've neglected the IC in the research of my chart. What's interesting is that my IC is on the fourth house cusp in Aries. Aries is ruled by Mars and Mars falls in the fourth house. Moreover, Aries rules the first house in which I have 5 planets. Could all of this indicate that my personality is my strongest asset and what people will remember most about me after I die?

I recently have been getting along very with a new co-worker of mine. All his personal planets, except for his Sag sun, are in Capricorn.

Now me i'm Aries and Libra Dominant. How would i get along with him? Well his moon, merc, venus, and mars fall in my 4th house!

I truly believe that is the reason why we get along so well. We don't always work together, but when we do, it feels cool. We got a bit of a bromance going on, not ashamed to admit that lol.
