Imum Coeli
The lowest point in the chart. Roots, home, inheritance.
Definition
The Imum Coeli, abbreviated IC from the Latin for bottom of the sky, is the lowest point in the natal chart and the point directly opposite the Midheaven. It marks the cusp of the fourth house, the house of home and inner foundations.
In context
The IC describes what you are rooted in, what you carry from family and lineage, and the private base from which the public life of the Midheaven is projected. Many astrologers consider the IC the most private point in the chart, since it represents the underground room of the self that almost no one else sees.
