The Vertex (also known as Destiny’s Gate) along
with the Ascendant/DC, the MC/IC and the nodes are incarnational axis points in
Astrology. Much like the Nodes (also
known as the dragon’s tail) have a north and south end, the Vertex has an
Anti-Vertex point as well. They are
always exactly opposite one another to the exact degree, minute and second.
The Vertex is often seen as being quite
positive in nature while the Anti-Vertex is said to be less fortunate. They are known as sensitive points in the
chart and often indicate destined points related to people (often
relationships) coming into our life.
Some Astrologers have linked the Vertex to people that we have known
from the past inevitably being brought back into our lives. Some say that it can be someone from our past
(this life or a past life) who has come back to meet up once again.
This, at first glance, often seems fated,
as mentioned, but after some time, may not always unfold as we might have
thought it would initially. It is not
always as blessed or welcomed in the end as we may have thought. Is this simply a human judgement?
The Vertex, just to add a little flair to
its description, often produces eventful times but sometimes passes by with
little, if any, relevance, so it is best not to put too much emphasis on
when it is aspected by transit or when it transits one of our natal
planets.
The energies of the Vertex can be used in
any chart, including relationship charts, solar charts, progressed charts to
name a few. When found natally conjunct
to a planet or angle, the Vertex has a tendency to add strength to the energies
of that planet and it also adds focus to the area of life represented by the house
it is in. The Vertex is always found
between the fifth and eighth houses, hence its connection to people in our
lives. When these people come into our
lives, there is, as mentioned, a turning point or what seems to be a destined
meeting and it will feel as though it cannot be ignore. We have to commit to this “meeting” on some
level and go through the motion until what is put in place is played out. There is a strong need to bring things to a
conclusion or a finishing point.
It is important to utilize a narrow orb
when using this point in a chart reading (an orb of up to three degrees in the
natal chart and less with transits or progressions).
The Anti-Vertex has been noted to have a lesser
effect and its energies are not always as fortunate in nature as the energies
of the Vertex. This is similar to the
North and South Nodes. The North Node
has been compared to Jupiter, while the South Node has been compared to
Saturn. The nodes are karmic in nature
while the Vertex and Anti-Vertex seem to be destiny points. It is said that you should be careful what
you wish for when the Vertex is involved because it might just come to
fruition.
More study should be conducted before we
can come to a full understanding of the Vertex and Anti-Vertex in Astrology.
