Understanding the Four Angles
Online Course
with Darby Costello and Tony Howard
Course Description
In this course we will explore the four angles – powerful points in our chart that constellate energy. Sometimes called “the cross of matter,” these angles can be understood as points through which core energetics in our life manifest – from our home environment, to how we meet the world and step into life, to our life’s mission or career, to how we meet “the other”.
We’ll learn the meanings of the IC, the Ascendant, the MC and the Descendant. We’ll discover how to interpret those points through their signs and also the planets ruling those signs.
