The life goal is usually read in the horoscope from the position of the Medium Coeli (MC). However, the resulting idea that we move from a starting point, the IC, towards this life goal is not sufficient. Through intensive studies, the author arrived at a groundbreaking approach: the life goal lies in the middle between the IC and the MC. The IC represents our creative potential. The MC contains the complementary traits, behaviors, and themes that we need to realize this potential. Additionally, there is a vanishing point. This describes important avoidance strategies that we use to evade our learning themes. The author outlines the spiritual, psychological, and astrological interpretative foundations of the two poles. In this context, the IC and the 4th house play a crucial role, as they encompass what constitutes our world.
