Descendant
The descendant is opposite the ascendant, 180° away in ecliptic longitude, and is associated with the chart’s western horizon.
How it is defined
Astrology uses it as a reference for relationships and agreements. It does not identify a destined partner or always mark the seventh house’s beginning in every system.
How to read it
Start by identifying the factor, its position and the data behind it. Then explore its symbolic reading and consider which questions make sense in your own experience.
A concrete example
An ascendant at 15° Aries has its descendant at 15° Libra. This geometry can prompt questions about reciprocity without predicting whom you will meet.
