The Descendant
The Back Door
The Descendant, is the degree exactly opposite of the Ascendant. At the descendant, or the back door to our charts, we encounter the realm of partnership. Here we find the qualities we look for in others, mostly romantic partners but business or other partnership situations may be shown here as well.
Defining the Descendant.
The zodiacal sign on the Descendant shows our attitude towards those we are in close contact with, what we desire from them, what we offer them and how we interact and respond to them.Â
