How to draw the ascendant ?

[sbalsom]

In settings.js, there is a case for drawing the Ascendant and Descendant symbols on the chart, so I know it can be done. However, there is no info on how to pass any value for the Asc/Desc point on the chart. How to do this ?

Asc is an alias for cusp 1 and Desc is cusp 7, so you just pass them with the cusps parameter.

Yes, I would like this feature as well please. As @andandio and @egorrrrrrrrr say some house systems set the first house as the place where the asc falls into but the cusp of that sign is always at 0º. Not being able to draw angles separately from cusps makes the library useless for those systems.

@egorrrrrrrrr @roabhi I found a workaround for this, but it only works to draw the angles inside the chart, rather than external to the wheel as they normally occur with this library. You can add the angles to the planets array parameter when you draw the wheel like this:

var radix = chart
    .radix({ planets: allBodies, cusps: cusps })

So, allBodies would include calculations for Asc, MC, etc.

Hey thanks for sharing. Will give it a try. DSC and IC also need to be included right?

[andandio]

If you want them to show up, then yes. I did not include them as I think (?) they are always inverse of ASC & MC.

I also used CUSTOM_SYMBOL_FN in settings to pass a custom svg/text for them inside the wheel, and then just css to hide the text that still gets drawn for the angles external to the wheel.

Thanks!, How to use CUSTOM_SYMBOL_FN I am just getting started with the library...
