ASC/MC Display Option
Contents
Normally, even if the Ascendant and Midheaven are selected as displayed points, they are not shown as chart points inside the chart wheel. The only exceptions to this rule are when these points are not identical to the 1st and 10th house cusps respectively. The reason for this behavior is to avoid putting superfluous information into the chart, thus avoiding clutter. However, in the "Preferences" dialog, "Houses" tab there are two options which you may switch on to alter this behavior...
•Show ASC even when 1st House Cusp – When switched on, this option ensures that the Ascendant is always displayed in a wheel as a chart point, even when it is also the 1st house cusp.
•Show MC even when 10th House Cusp – When switched on, this option ensures that the Midheaven is always displayed in a wheel as a chart point, even when it is also the 10th house cusp.
