A term from astrology, defined plainly — and shown in context in your chart.
Definition
One of four positions where a planet physically crosses a key sky boundary at birth: horizon-rising, upper meridian (apex), horizon-setting, lower meridian (subapex). Defines the planet's visible-sky imprint, which stays with the native for life.
