The Vertex is also known as the Vertex Destinys Gate. According to the dictionary, a it is the summit, the highest point reached in the apparent motion of a celestial body or other points. The word is taken from the Latin word vertere, meaning to turn.
In the horoscopic chart, it is calculated as being the point located at the intersection of the Ecliptic path of the Sun and the Prime Meridian, a plane that divides the celestial sphere into front and back. If none of that mumbo jumbo chart calculation stuff makes any sense, then do not worry about it. It is only here for those few certain eggheads who know what to do with it and like to think about such weighty things. It is actually part of a two point axis comprised of it and Anti Vertex. As an axis if your Vertex is located in 10 degrees of Scorpio, then your anti Vertex is located in 10 degrees of Taurus.
When there are transits or progressed aspects to the Vertex, the qualities of this sign will be emphasized. Under favorable aspects, we are drawn by people who are indicated by the House position to express the aptitudes of this sign. Under afflictions, we seem to have problems with the Vertex sign energy.
