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.
