Imum Coeli

Directly opposite the Midheaven is the I.C., or imum coeli (from the Latin imum coeli, meaning lowest part of the heavens ). The I.C. influences your attitude toward home and family, affects the circumstances at the end of your life, and, like the M.C., is associated with one of your parents. It s sometimes described as representing the base of the personality, which suggests that its importance is greater than it appears. 

The Ascendant symbolizes your surface personality. The Descendant represents your approach to marriage and partnerships. The Midheaven, or M.C., depicts your ambition and public image. The imum coeli, or I.C., indicates your attitude toward home and family.
