The four quadrants

The vertical axis in a chart runs from the Medium Coeli to the Imum Coeli and divides the chart into two halves: the Eastern Hemisphere (Quadrants I, IV) and the Western Hemisphere (Quadrants II, III).

It places an individual's temporal perspective:
The Imum Coeli equates to the past and family, the Medium Coeli to the future and the goals in life.

The second main axis in the chart is the horizontal axis which runs from the Ascendant to the Descendant and places the individual in a spatial perspective.
