Descendant (astrology)

Imagine you have a special map that tells you where all the planets and stars were at the moment you were born. This map is called your birth chart. One important part of this map is called the descendant.

The descendant is like a mirror image of another important part called the ascendant. The ascendant is like your front door, showing how you appear to others and how you interact with the world.

The descendant, on the other hand, is like your back door. It shows the kind of people you are attracted to and the kind of relationships you may have. It helps you understand who you might want to be close to in a romantic or even a friendly way.

You see, the planets and stars have special energies that can affect different parts of our lives. The descendant is influenced by a special planet called the Sun, which represents who we really are deep down inside.

The position of the descendant in our birth chart tells us a lot about what type of person we might be attracted to. For example, if our descendant is in a sign like Aries, we might be drawn to someone who is confident and bold. If it's in a sign like Libra, we might be attracted to someone who is fair and balanced.

So, the descendant is like a secret special part on our birth chart that helps us understand who we might want to be close to and have a special connection with. It's like a map that guides us towards finding the people we're meant to be with.
