Vertex

[Sabranan]

Ok... Guess the vertex is the next part of my chart I need to know about. Unlike the other planets and such I know absolutly nothing about the vertex. In my chart it falls in aries in the 7th house. If someone who knows a little more about the vertex could help out with this that would be great.

Actually your chart's so dim I can barely see it... Do you have the degree and sign?

[Sabranan]

It may be the resolution... If you hover the mouse over the image when it's loaded there should be a little box appears in the botton right of it, and clicking it makes it bigger and clearer, because it's converted from bmp to jpeg it has lost significant quality. However, the vertex is in 27" aries, with a trine to my part of fortune and sextiles to my sun, venus and jupiter.

Oh, and theres a trine to uranus and another sextile to mercury.

Here's a cool article I found on the vertex... (snippet provided below)

In Astrology (the Nitty Gritty)
So anyway, based on the Vertex being astronomically located on a "turning point" in the sky, then it probably has something to do with "turning points" in your life. It does. Based on it being located in the 5th through 8th houses, then you can bet it quite often has something to do with "meetings of people." It does.
Here's my astrological rule of thumb definition of the Vertex: the Vertex is a sensitive point on the chart (any chart) that during unusual, extraordinary times feels like a fortunate "turning point" or a meeting with "Destiny's Gate."
The Vertex often feels like a compulsive, yet fortunate experience and meeting up with destiny that you couldn't avoid (even if you wanted to). According to Bill Meridian (Mountain Astrologer, June/July 2001), astrologer, Charles A. Jayne who (along with Lorne Johndro) first came up with using the Vertex, "felt this point was fated and that it represented matters beyond our control."
Destiny's Gate can be:
a person (and how they effect you)
in synastry, the most effective when another person's natal Sun, Moon, Ascendant, Venus or Mars conjuncts your natal Vertex or anti-Vertex. I've gotten a wee bit stingy in my old age - and I only (90% of the time) use conjunctions when looking at the Vertex and anti-Vertex. Also, the slower a planet is... the more narrow my orbs tend to get when looking at cross aspects with the Vertex and anti-Vertex.
a time (when you meet a special person)
when a transiting planet - especially the Sun - conjuncts your birth Vertex or anti-Vertex.

I laughed when I read that because my Sun is conjunct your vertex by only 2 degrees! :lol:
Another interesting fact is that this year on my birthday - April 19th, there will be a solar eclipse at 29 Aries that will touch your vertex... If this is supposed to be an aspect of timing I'd say that something big is coming your way this April! And with it in the 7th house, just maybe you could meet someone special! :)
