my Points

The planets and points of astrology are the ingredients of a horoscope. Their specific positions relative to our position here on Earth are expressed in degrees/minutes/seconds of a sign. Each planet and point has unique characteristics and correspondences that when considered along with its specific position within the signs, decans, houses and degrees, describe unique imprints of archetypal energies.

InsideOutsideLegend

Inside/Outside Shading - Angles 101

Inside/outside shading is my color adobe mission’s unique way of understanding the orientation of charts with accurate angles (requires exact time and place).

my colormission charts are shaded according to the alignment of internally focused signs vs. externally focused signs as they relate to the Ascendant/Descendant axis.

The below graphics detail the archetypes associated with the big 4 angles in an astrology chart as well as how inside/outside shading works in my color mission charts.
