A gentle ceiling on staying: a year or more
Where does your Venus IC line run?
Three things, and the reading is yours. No account, no email, nothing kept.
What the Imum Coeli is
The Imum Coeli is one of the four chart angles, and it is a real position rather than a symbol: the planet was at its lowest point at the moment you were born — beneath your feet, on the far side of the earth.
What it governs
The Imum Coeli is the angle of private life — home, rest, roots, the part of a place you only meet once you stop performing in it. A planet here works on you quietly and over time rather than in public.
What the line looks like on a map
An underfoot line is a meridian too, running pole to pole exactly opposite the overhead one: the two are always 180° of longitude apart. So a planet standing overhead in one place is underfoot half a world away, and the pair of lines always arrive together.
What a Venus IC line is good for
Computed from the archetype rather than chosen page by page, so this and the way the app ranks cities cannot drift apart.

What Venus does to a line
The ten bodies are not interchangeable. How fast one moves decides how personal its line is — and that changes how much weight this page deserves.
Speed, and what it means for you
Venus takes about 225 days to return to the same place against the stars, and its lines shift by roughly a degree — about 111 km on the ground — every several hours of birth time.
💡 A line that is genuinely yours
This line is personal, though not to the minute. Someone born the same week has it close to where yours is — near enough that it describes a shared window as well as an individual.
How its lines sit on the map
Venus never appears more than about 47° from the Sun, so like Mercury its lines cluster around the solar ones rather than falling anywhere on the map. It is also the brightest body after the Sun and Moon, and the one most often visible near its own lines at dusk.
