There are several other points in the horoscope which also can give a clue, although they have a milder effect unless accented by conjunctions of planets. In most computer astrological charts you can find points labeled VX (vertex) and EP (east point). These are also relationship points. The vertex is like a descendant and its opposing point, the antivertex, is like an ascendant. The east point is like an alternate ascendant, and its opposing point, the west point, like an alternate descendant. Research has revealed that they act the same as ascendant and descendant points, only their significance is weaker. We might say that the ascendant and descendent can represent 'major' relationship problems, while antivertex-vertex, east point-west point represent 'minor' relationship problems.
