![]() ![]() Our English word "cadent" comes from the Latin translation of apoklima and is the source of our word "cadet," which originally meant a lesser branch of the family, or the younger son. The word apoklima also carries a denotation of degeneration and decline. ![]() The Greeks called the cadent houses apoklima, which literally means "falling" or "decline," because the houses were seen to be falling away from the strength of the angular houses, which were considered to be most influential because of their perpendicular and oppositive relationships to the Ascendant. There are four quadrants in an astrological chart, providing four angular, four succedent, and four cadent houses. A quadrant begins with an Angular house, (the house in which a chart angle lies) proceeds to a succedent house and ends with a cadent house. In astrology, a cadent house is the last house of each quadrant of the zodiac. ![]()
