Imum coeli | Where are you coming from?

Imum coeli a.k.a IC as it is written on our natal chart is one of the four importnant astrological angles. The first one is ascendant - AC (our self) which opposes to descendant - DC (our partner) and then there are also Imum coeli - IC (our family, our roots, our childhood) and  Midheaven - MC (our career, our image).

In wikipedia they described IC like this:

It symbolizes foundations, beginnings in life, what may have been experienced through parental inheritance and homeland influences, need for security and relationships with the home and family life. It also may describe the circumstances that we will encounter at the end of our lives.

My imum coeli is in leo. What does that mean? It means that I act since my childhood at home like a leo. I'm always in the center of attention, trolling my parents, laughing out loud, dancing and singing out loud, having a huge ego and so on.  I don't mean the times when someone comes to visit and you go hide in your room like a typical teenager, NO, I mean the times when there are you and your family. But IC is not just that, it's where you come from, who you are, how were you raised and so on.

IC is the cusp of fourth house and in deep connected with the cancer signs and the moon. If you very influenced by the moon this axis can play a big role in your life.

Aries IC

 

Aries on the cusp of the fourth house denotes an aggressive attitude toward the home and family. You always take an active interest in the affairs of the home. Too often though, quarrels and spats result if your ideas of how things should be handled aren’t accepted. There is a tendency to force issues and demand too much. Much of your success in life may be attributed to an ambitious mother who inspired you to make the best of yourself. The fourth house denotes activities in the latter part of life. With Mars ruling this sector of the chart, the later years will be very active. A more daring and outgoing, even youthful personality emerges as you grow older. Mature and serious in your youth, you are apt to grow child-like, and more assertive and physically active in the latter part of life.

 

Taurus IC

Taurus influences affairs in the fourth house producing a strong underlying urge toward security for your family. The home must be attractive, and, if possible, paid for and well insured. You strive to put down roots and become as stable as society will allow. Preferably, you will live in the country or at least in an area large enough to allow you to garden and have a sense of nature in your environment. You have strong instincts to provide materially for your family. Unless Venus is badly aspected, the influence of Taurus on the cusp of the fourth house suggests a very pleasant, easygoing home environment, and harmony, serenity, and graciousness in your latter years.

Gemini IC

The influence of Gemini suggests that ties to home are not particularly strong. You are apt to move about a good deal, or at least you would like to. You like to have people around you, but not the same people for too long. There is a reluctance to form lasting ties and a solid foundation. With the strong influence of Gemini in the latter part of your life, many vague ideas that formally floated through your mind may become clarified. You may find that your inclination to write or otherwise express concrete intellectual ideas increases as you grow older. Mental stimulation is likely to continue throughout your life.

If where you live is not a reflection of your ego, it’s likely your self-image is low for some reason.

In the early home life, your were strongly influenced by the parent of the opposite sex. This sign wants a sense of royalty, splendor, and space in the home environment. Even if you are not born to this, it's very likely that you will be living in the grand style later in life.
