3 major points of a horoscope chart

crimsoncurrentThe three major points in the birth chart which are the Midheaven (MC), the north node, and the vertex point had aided in determining what make each individual unique in their pursuit of fatality. They have been central in our studies of individual karmic destiny for years.
In the study, the two vital harmonic charts are used and those are the twelfth harmonic (12th) and the numerological harmonic (the number of the day of birth). What is taken into consideration are the Sabian symbols of the Karmic points (MC, North node, and Vertex) and the interpretation given to these symbols and conducting a parallel comparison and observation to the case study life to check whether the symbols manifest or not, and therefore confirm a validity to the hypothesis.
The Midheaven in Astrology considers to be one of the four axis which manifest daily in our life. The importance of the Midheaven lies in actualizing one's power and potential and acquiring a social status. The Midheaven represents the uprootedness from ancestral karma (the 4th house) and moving towards individual karma and realization of one's destiny in the world-who we are remembered as when we die?- The North Node on the other hand deals with the thematic occurrence in one's life. It deals with karmic duties the individual needs to cater for in order to manifest fulfillment. The North Node represents our life theme and the path we walking towards, and in this it has been vital to determine what the individual must manifest in order to attain happiness. The recent karmic point considers to be the Vertex which appears to be ambiguous to some since intensive research has not been carried on.
NODES
A PATHWAY TO ANOTHER DIMENSION
Most astrologers are familiar with its role in charts of times of
death, and yes, death is certainly a “pathway to another dimension.” However, many difficult events in one’s life do heighten one’s spiritual awareness. You hear of people “turning to God” and becoming much more spiritual after a crisis. Illnesses can certainly do this, as can significant losses and other difficulties. In my opinion, those events have a purpose of leading one to a more
significant appreciation of the spiritual and metaphysical, and of other planes of existence. That is why I suspect we see them in event charts where the event will do a great deal to bringing the person closer to the divine. But the event does NOT mean death.
Tribal purpose.
If the Nodes indicate groups, then the most important group that influences any of us is our family heredity. I also believe there is a family “purpose” embedded in every one on the family tree. You can call this destiny/fate, but I prefer to think of it as the frame around the blank canvas. We can paint any picture we like, but the frame is just so big and so wide.
An axis of the imaginal,
Something beyond concrete, observable reality. This is tied in with what
some say about the nodes representing a portal to other dimensions. I sometimes think that the signs of the nodes offer a clue as to how to use one’s imagination, and so they can manifest as creative hobbies, to give one instance. But it is not uncommon to find that a strong nodal axis can result in psychic ability, in a keen understanding of the symbolic, and in an understanding of themes and patterns in one’s life and how they relate to life events.

It describes these as key "fate lines" in the birth chart aiding in determining destined experiences, career paths, and karmic growth, with the Midheaven tied to the Gravity Axis, the North Node to the Karmic Axis, and the Vertex as the Ascension Axis. The context is a discussion of how these points reveal fated encounters and personal evolution beyond conscious awareness.
