Vertex, unusual situations, difficult to assimilate in the context of everyday experiences

The Vertex is a geometric point defined by the intersection between the ecliptic plane and the main vertical plane, which divides between forward and backward; just as the plane of the horizon divides between above and below, and the plane of the meridian divides between left and right.

According to Robert Hand, astrologically, the Vertex has relevance in "dramatic situations that are not characteristic of one's ordinary life".

The Vertex is related with those situations that stand out for being very far from the baseline of what happens to a specific person on a daily basis. This are difficult to handle and to assimilate within the context of habitual experiences (specific to each person).
