When deciphering a birth chart, we need to
consider any planet located within a 2 degree orb of approaching the IC (Imum
Coelias which is Latin for the bottom of the sky). We also have to consider a planet within a 3 degree
orb separating from the IC as both of these circumstances will be
significant. The closer the planet is to
the IC degree, the more powerful and significant its influence is in our lives.
The IC’s energy has to do with our early
upbringing and early life experiences, whether this is on a conscious or
unconscious level of understanding. It
also represents our Mother (or most nurturing parent), our home base and our
roots. It also deals with our family and
end of life conditions.
A planet on the IC assists us in accessing
our unconscious needs and wants as well as our access to early childhood
experiences that have played a significant role in our early development. Since the natural ruler of the IC or fourth
house cusp is Cancer, this house is also identified with our nurturing response
to our environment and is associated with this through our comfort level in our
home environment and with family. The
planet closely tied to the IC assists us or challenges us, depending on the
aspects it receives from other natal planets, in fulfilling our own personal
emotional needs and comfort zone within our close personal surroundings. In early childhood, this is often depicted
from our close personal relationship with our peers, our parents and close
family.
Since the fourth house or IC speaks in
terms of our roots and root behaviours, a planet in conjunction with this
degree in our chart has an important influence and works in such a way that we
either feel comfortable in our own skin or feel as though there is something
missing. The planet and its identity has
a great influence on how we nourish and protect ourselves as well as connect
and generate psychic energies which nurtures us on a deep instinctual level.
If, for example, you have Saturn conjunct
this position and poorly aspected in your chart, there would have been some
struggles with authority or the father in early life. Life may have felt like a testing ground and,
although it may have been met with obstructions and difficulties in many cases,
as life progresses, it also builds character and solidifies the core of who we
are.
If, for example, you have Venus on this
cusp and it is well aspected, the potential for finding love and affection in
your early environment is highly likely and you would have felt protected which
in turn provide you with concrete beliefs that you are likely to be protected
and loved throughout this life.
As you can see much depends on the planet
involved, its instinctive energies, how it is aspected in the chart and above
all else what you choose to do with these energies as life progresses. Even under the harshest of conditions, the
potential to rearrange your life and mold it into something positive is always
available. It may take some time and
diligent work on your part but life can always be altered to suit your best
interests, much depends on your current frame of mind and what you believe is
your true potential.
