Cardinal points astrology is the study of the four main cardinal points that are present at a distance of 90 degrees in your astrological chart. This consists of the ascendant or rising sign, descendant, midheaven or Medium Coeli and Imum Coeli or Nadir astrology. Each of these points shows different aspects of your personality. Each of the four points or signs falls in any one of the 12 signs of the zodiac. The ascendant represents your outer personality while the descendant shows the connections you tend to make with different people. The midheaven sign describes your goals in life while the Nadir sign shows your inner feelings and desires. Get a free online cardinal points astrology reading in seconds!
