Your Ascendant Key to Your Personality

June 11, 2019by Hassan Jaffer0

Your Ascendant is an accurate indicator of your inner temperament which shows up under stress regardless of how you try to cover it up. It is your basic character, although there are other influences in your chart which also define other specific characteristics.

Your Ascendant is also called your “Rising Sign” and is usually your First House cusp. It shows your attitude towards the world and how others see you. People revert to this side of their personality later in life, usually after the age of 30 to 35.

Astrology Notes

Your time of birth determines your Ascendant, which is the name given to the Sign of the Zodiac which was rising or “ascending” on the Eastern horizon when you were born.

For people born near the Equator, this point is exactly 90° from your M.C. However, when you go North or South of the Equator, your ascendant gets closer to your M.C. and can be off by as much as one zodiac sign and you start having all kinds of problems with different house systems and intercepted signs etc.

All house systems are almost the same at the Equator but all of them break down if the latitude is more than 55° North or South.

In our Moon Magic, we have not taken into account the different latitudes but have taken the approach that the first house cusp is 90° from the M.C. so the system does not break down at higher latitudes.

However, although it puts the planets in the right houses, the ascendant i.e. the actual sign rising on the eastern horizon when you were born may be a sign-off. So for now, just read your rising sign based on your M.C. as well as the interpretation for the sign before and after.

You should be able to determine which one applies to you by reading the interpretation and the examples given.

If you have Libra ascendant, then read both Libra and Scorpio ascendant (you always have a bit of the next sign anyway).
