Aside from the Zodiac sign symbols and the planetary symbols found on an astrological chart, there are also other miscellaneous important symbols. Angles are also represented by glyphs. The following are some common types of symbols you’ll find for angles, aspects and nodes:

Angles:

Ascendant - This is the angle rising over the eastern horizon at a particular moment in time. It is also known as the rising sun.

Midheaven - This is the angel where the ecliptic crosses the Meridian in the south on the northern hemisphere. It is also called medium coeli or zenith.

Nodes:

Nodes are not common to all traditions of astrology, but they are important in Vedic astrology. There are basically two types of nodes, the ascending node and the descending node. They are referred to as the Dragon’s Head or Tail or simply nodal axis, lunar nodes or the moon’s nodes.

In astrology, there are three main qualities. This is the second major classification that defines the nature of the sign (the first being the Elements). The qualities assign the signs to quadruplicities or three groups of four. The quadruplicities of astrological signs are sometimes referred to as crosses because each quality forms a cross when drawn across the zodiac.

Unlike the natural tendency of signs with the same element to work together smoothly, signs with the same quality generally do not complement each other.

The cardinal sign is associated with Aries Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. It is often related to initiation, action, leadership and creativity. People born under this zodiac can also be somewhat stubborn, selfish and demanding. Cardinal signs are also sometimes called movable signs as they initiate a change of temperate zone season when the sun makes its annual passage into them. The Cardinal houses are the First, Fourth, Seventh and Tenth

Fixed signs include Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius. These are said to relate to focus, concentration, strength, stamina, perseverance, individuality and determination. Fixed signs are at the height of the four seasons. People born under fixed signs are said to be natural leaders who are both loyal and self-confident, however they can also be stubborn.
