What does the ascending zodiac sign mean? Rising zodiac sign or ascendant in horoscope
If you draw a circle of movement of the Earth around the Sun (the plane of the ecliptic) and a line from the center to the east, then the ascendant will be the intersection point in the east of the horizon. The exact place of birth of a person helps determine where east is.
Zodiac sign (location of the sun in a sign) reflects external behavior person in relation to the world as a whole, career, people. The Moon in a sign means internal features, what resources a person has and how he sees himself. The Ascendant is ulterior motives. Considering concepts from the point of view of psychology, the zodiac will be an interaction with the world, moon sign- consciousness, and the ascendant - subconscious.
How to calculate the ascendant?
You can calculate the ascendant using special tables and schematic sketches. The approximate one is independently calculated according to the exact time of sunrise and sunset on a person’s birthday (can be viewed on the calendar).
Draw zodiac circle. The starting point (sunrise) will be your zodiac sign. Every 2-4 hours after sunrise, the ascendant moves approximately one sign clockwise.
It happens that the rising point coincides with the sun sign. A person born at dawn will have a sign equal to the zodiac sign in his ascendant. This is called a double sign (eg, double, etc.). At the same time, all characteristics, both positive and negative, are enhanced.
The influence of the ascendant on character
The Ascendant is divided into masculine and feminine. Masculine signs are considered to be the signs of fire (Leo, Sagittarius, Aries) and air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius), while feminine signs are the signs of water (Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio) and earth (Virgo, Taurus, Capricorn).
If a woman has a female sign in her ascendant, this has a beneficial effect on motherhood and character in general. Smooth movements, softness, the ability to forgive, etc. appear.
The masculine sign enhances tough character traits and strong-willed qualities. Man with male sign in the ascendant - a born fighter and conqueror. When the signs change: a man is born with a feminine sign, and a woman with a masculine one, this allows us to talk about the flexibility of character - a person easily adapts to any situation (provided that the ascendant is not clearly expressed).
A pronounced feminine ascendant in a man (Cancer, Pisces, Virgo) suppresses masculine energy, making a man timid and shy, driven in capable hands. And the male (Leo, Aries, Scorpio) ascendant in a woman makes the woman adamant and somewhat rude.
A complete character must be compiled taking into account all the features: typical-atypical zodiac sign (depending on the decade of birth), etc. It is worth considering that science denies the influence of a horoscope on character and attributes all sorts of coincidences to the strength of a person’s faith in prediction.
The ascendant sign always determines how other people see us and what impression we make on them with our personality. Once you get to know and talk to a person better, you realize that behind the external façade there is a lot of other things hidden.
Here is a sweet, intelligent woman full of modest dignity. She is the head of a branch of a large bank. At work, everything is organized for her. Everywhere is order and cleanliness. The manager knows everything about his employees, comes to work before everyone else and is the last to leave. Caring. Strict but fair. Does not miss a single detail in the work process. Everyone is sure that she is an exemplary wife and mother. This is how the ascendant in Virgo manifests itself.
But appearances are often deceiving. In fact, the woman has the Sun in Sagittarius and she still has not officially married the father of her child, with whom she has been living for more than twelve years thanks to her Venus in Capricorn. She constantly quarrels with relatives, in which Mars in the third house of the horoscope successfully helps her. And often in the evenings he cannot fall asleep, spurred on by such a mobile Moon in Pisces, without drinking fifty, or even a hundred grams of cognac. But outwardly this woman looks like and no one will ever think that she cries into her pillow at night and indulges in fantasies that abound in romance novels.
Remember! Your ascendant is what the world sees. You may be a modest person with an ascendant in the last five degrees of Leo, but many will mistake you for a boss or agency executive. festive events. Or it may happen that a person will be obsessed with issues of family and traditions and will be easily upset at the slightest ill will from the vibrations of his Moon in Cancer, but no one will notice or believe this, because all these internal fluctuations will be covered by an external facade - the ascendant in .
Zodiac signs do not stop for a second. One sign rises in the east, the other sets in the west. The sign rising in the east is called the ascendant sign. The Ascendant is the ascending point of intersection of the ecliptic with the horizon. It is determined by a formula whose parameters include local sidereal time LST (s) and the latitude of the place. Sidereal time is calculated using the formula:
s = S0 + l + UT + UT * m,
where l is the longitude of the place, UT is Universal Time, m = 0.002737909 is a coefficient that takes into account the difference in the speed of sidereal time from solar time. S0 - sidereal time at Greenwich midnight - is given in the ephemeris tables, but you can calculate it yourself using the formula:
S0 = 6.6460656 + 2400.051262 * T + 0.00002581 * T2.
The point opposite the ascending sign on the western horizon is defined as the descendant - the descending sign.
A person can have any solar zodiac sign, but they will always be greeted by their ascendant. Absolutely anyone can rise above the horizon at the moment of your birth. The degree of the ascending sign changes every four minutes. The Ascendant indicates the outer side of an individual's personality and creates the very first impression that an individual makes on others. Usually this is the first five to ten minutes. Remember this.
Every person has two zodiac signs. The first sign is determined by the hour of birth. It is called the rising sign, or ascendant, and characterizes the individual personality of a person.
The second sign is determined by the birthday. It is called solar and according to the position of the Sun it records the degree of birth, which characterizes the unique essence of a person.
The first part of the book explains how to determine your ascending sign by the hour of birth in order to know the inner forces that contribute to the revelation of the capabilities and character of the individual.
The second part of the book reveals the hidden meaning of the birthday, fixed by the degree of birth, and defines those leading manners that, through their patronage, actively influence the formation of earthly opportunities provided to the embodied entity.
Separately, the definition and characteristics of the leading planets during their stay in a particular zodiac sign and their direct influence on the course, rhythm and color of the life cycle are given.
Rising sign (ascendant) – a person’s personality
Rising sign, which is determined by the hour of birth, characterizes a person’s personality.
A person’s personality is a set of properties and qualities of character, its external manifestation, as well as physical and spiritual potentials that are given to the entity for the realization in earthly conditions of the opportunities provided by the degree of birth.
The sphere of activity of the individual is earthly life.
The sun sign, which is determined by the birthday, characterizes the essence of a person.
The essence of a person is the spiritual basis of individuality, his ego, his monad, which carries within itself the experience of all past incarnations.
The field of activity is endless life on a subtle level.
The personality is constantly under the control and influence of the essence, taking upon itself all the joys and hardships of physical existence in the dense material world.
In his activities, the individual is completely independent and free to make any decisions. However, her every decision is recorded by the Higher Powers, which monitor the fulfillment of fate (karma).
As mentioned above, the totality of personality properties and qualities determines the ascending sign.
The rising sign can coincide with the solar sign and thus enhance all its qualities and, giving it its vital energy, determine the character, often strong. A person becomes the bearer of his double sign, that is, he initially becomes twice Capricorn, or twice Aries, or, say, twice Sagittarius.
However, often the rising sign is not a mirror image and does not coincide with the solar sign. Such people become carriers of the vital energy of two signs of the Zodiac. This is what often leads to confusion in the minds of those who are familiar only with the beginnings of astrology. They see the behavior of a person in front of them, they know his birthday, that is, they know the sign of the Zodiac, and they cannot understand either his actions or character traits, because they do not correspond to this specific solar sign, its characteristics. In such cases, they usually give up on astrology as a very approximate science, far from concrete, and in general... How can you trust the signs of the Zodiac if we know for sure that this person was born in early January and according to the horoscope he is a pure Capricorn, but in reality he behaves like a real Gemini?
Such examples are often found in everyday reality, and people who are superficially familiar with astrology blame the ancient science without reason. They just don't know that
Every person has two zodiac signs, and in the above example, Capricorn, who is born at the typical hour of birth, has an ascending sign in Gemini, and it is they, the qualities of Gemini, that dominate behavior. We repeat - in behavior, that is, in the external manifestation of the essence. But inside, at his core, this person remains a Capricorn, and when it comes to serious issues, he will show his flinty Capricorn hardness.
Often the ascending sign has a decisive influence on a person’s appearance: on his face, on the physical structure of the body. A man will look at a chubby woman, consider that in front of him is a charming and sensual crayfish, he begins to court, make acquaintances, but in reality it turns out that instead of the emotional sensuality of the crayfish, he met the cold prudence of a Virgo.
The ascending sign is the external manifestation of the essence, the “clothing” by which it is met, in which it manifests itself, and in which it walks through life.
To avoid unpleasant mistakes in determining a person’s character, you need to learn to recognize his rising sign.
Determination of the rising sign (ascendant)
The ascending sign is determined quite simply. Take a simple tear-off calendar and open it to a page specific day birth. As a rule, all tear-off calendars indicate the time of sunrise. The time of sunrise on a specific birthday is the starting point, the starting position for determining the rising sign.
Next comes the arithmetic calculation. But before you start calculating the ascending sign, you need to know two rules.
First rule. The rising sign changes every two hours of direct time. There are 24 hours in a day, and there are 12 signs themselves, therefore, there are two hours for each sign.
Second rule. The determination of the rising sign begins from the moment the Sun rises, and the first rising sign will be its repetition, this person, sun sign. A person, for example, was born in the sign of Capricorn, and the first two hours after sunrise on the day of his birth will belong to the rising sign of Capricorn. And if a person was born in the sign of Taurus, then the similar first two hours will be the ascending sign of Taurus, then the hours of Gemini, Cancer, and so on will follow.
Let's explain on specific example. The person was born on March 31st. Open the calendar and look at the numbers. They indicate that the Sun rose on this day at 6 hours 2 minutes. This is the starting time for determining the ascending sign.
And then comes a simple arithmetic calculation. If, for example, this person was born between 6 and 8 o'clock in the morning, then his rising sign will be Aries, with all the ensuing consequences that strengthen his sun sign.
If you were born between 8 and 10 am, then your rising sign will be Taurus, which will impose its own characteristics and bring its own energy.
If born between 10 and 12, then his ascendant sign will be the sign of Gemini, which will leave its strong imprint on behavior and appearance.
The next rising sign will be Cancer, then after a couple of hours, it will become Leo, then Virgo and so on. The last ascending sign in this series will be the sign of Pisces, if a person was born on March 31 in the period between 4 and 6 o’clock, that is, just before dawn. It is quite natural that his behavior in life will be far from the habits of Aries.
Important feature. You need to know that if the ascending and solar signs belong to the same element or related ones, then they complement and strengthen each other. For example, Aries has an ascending sign in Sagittarius (the element of Fire) or in Aquarius, that is, in the related element of Air. But it is precisely this strengthening that can sometimes let a person down, since everything in life will be easy for him, which means that from constant “luck” he can become complacent and lose that vital vigilance and fighting energy that is so necessary for him in this earthly incarnation.
And vice versa, if the solar and ascending signs belong to unrelated elements, for example, Aries has a rising sign in Cancer, that is, the element of Fire (Aries) meets the element of Water (Cancer), then in such cases there is no mutual suppression and muting of characteristic qualities , and simultaneous feeding of opposite energies. They, as a rule, also complement each other with the high demands of these opposites. Here life does not go “like clockwork”: both the most global and the simplest life issues are resolved intensely, but in a more complete manner and often with better results than in the first case. Conclusion: this Aries in his earthly incarnation needs to have the “clothes” of Cancer in order to best fulfill the task, fulfilling his destiny.
Let us especially note that there are neither good nor bad combinations and each is given to a person for a specific purpose. Accidents are excluded, each soul, going into earthly life, into its next incarnation, knows well the goals, objectives, and conditions in which it will have to live, fulfilling its destiny.
Features of the rising sign (ascendant)
Now, knowing how the ascending sign is determined, let's move on to considering its characteristics and personality traits that it determines while being in each individual sign of the Zodiac.
The rising sign indicates the constellation that rose above the horizon at the moment when a person was born, and it is this constellation, or rather the sign of the Zodiac, that becomes the fulcrum in his earthly life, like home and earth, strengthening the concept of himself, of his will and its manifestation in the surrounding world, that is, characterizing the personality.
Below we give a description of typical, one might say normal, or ideal, or classical manifestations of ascending signs, although in reality it can be observed that these descriptions are somewhat inconsistent with individual specific cases. These differences, or rather, some changes in appearance and personality characteristics, occur for two reasons.
First reason. If at the time of birth there was a planet above the horizon in the constellation, which will influence these signs. A happy, related planet with its influence will strengthen good ones and weaken negative qualities character, and vice versa if the planet turns out to be hostile.
The second reason. They influence the formation of personality and national characteristics, inherited characteristics, early training, environment, occupational traits and geographical, racial influences all have some influence on changes in both character and appearance.
We repeat that both of these reasons exist in reality, but they only partially influence, without changing the main characteristic. For example, the influence of a planet can be determined by a person’s appearance. Jupiter determines the tendency to overweight. Mars develops the muscular system. Venus indicates graceful forms and good looks, a unique attractive smile. Saturn usually makes hair, eyes and skin color darker than the sign characteristic indicates. Mercury gives high and average height, restless activity. Neptune indicates some physical sign - pale, transparent color faces, something remarkable in the depths of the eyes, the lines of the lips. Uranus leads to long limbs, slender forms or unusual, strange facial expressions and, often, an enlarged nose. Rising Mars, Uranus and Saturn usually leave their “mark” on the face or head in the form of a scar or mark.
The planet that appears above the horizon at the moment of birth affects the physical and mental makeup of a person.

- how to calculate the ascendant
Ascendant is the top of the first house in natal chart horoscope. What does this mean and why is it so important to compile? individual horoscope? The fact is that the Ascendant (Asc.), being the apex of the first house, shows how a person looks to others. In short, it affects the external manifestations of our character. The Ascendant will tell us how others perceive us, how they see us.
You will need
- - computer;
- - Internet access;
- - tables of the houses of Placidus or Koch;
- - ephemerides:
- - astrological tables for calculating the time of birth and the coordinates of the place of birth.
Instructions
Since the Ascendant is a “rising sign,” people born closer to the rising of the Sun will be more consistent with their external manifestations (clothing, behavior, manner of communication). The greater the gap between the time of sunrise and the time of a person, the less external manifestations will correspond to his inner world. So how to calculate the Ascendant?
The easiest way to calculate the Ascendant is with the help of a special astrological program. Nowadays you can find good free astrological programs on the Internet that allow you to create, without unnecessary suffering, accurate map person. In addition, you can use the -service to calculate the ascendant.
If you decide to calculate the ascendant yourself, then be patient and free time. First you need to find the LVZ (local sidereal time), which corresponds to the time of birth of a person. To do this, you need the coordinates of a person’s place of birth, which can be found from any atlas or a special astrologer’s reference book “City Coordinates and Time Corrections.” The same reference book will help you find the standard time of birth of a person according to Greenwich Mean Time or GTM. Real time place of birth (PBM) can be found by looking up the GMT correction. To do this, the longitude of the place of birth must be multiplied by 4 minutes. The result exceeding 60 minutes must be brought to an acceptable form, that is, converted into hours, minutes, seconds. Then the found correction must either be subtracted from the longitude (western longitude) or added to (eastern longitude).
Since the Ascendant is taken from the Placidus Tables of Houses, we need to find out the local sidereal time (LST). These tables indicate the values of the vertices of the horoscope houses, which correspond to sidereal time according to Greenwich Mean Time (Sid Time). The RVM that was found above corresponds to Greenwich Mean Time. The correction is made using the table “corrections from solar time to sidereal time”. The value of the time interval we need will be located at the intersection of the row (minutes according to GTM) and column (hours according to GTM). This correction will be given in the form of minutes and seconds, so it will be tedious to bring it to an acceptable form (for example, 00h 24m 12s). And finally, you can find the local sidereal time: MSV = Sid Time (taken from the second column of the “Ephemeris”) + correction “from solar to sidereal time”.
Now, having the “Tables of Placidus Houses” in hand, calculating the Ascendant is very simple. Next, you need to find among the many tables the one in the upper left corner of which the desired local sidereal time (LST) is indicated. Then we find the column with the latitude of the place of birth (between the second and third tablets is the LAT column). Now we need to find the intersection of the LAT string containing the coordinates geographical latitude birth, and columns of the tablet containing local sidereal time (LST) in the upper left corner. The middle column of the table contains the Asc. value, which will represent the required Ascendant value. Asc is represented as sign coordinates. In order to determine which contains the Ascendant, you need to move up the Asc column. The first zodiac sign we encounter between the degrees and minutes of the Ascendant will be the zodiac sign containing the first house of our horoscope.
note
All astrological calculations are carried out in hours, minutes and seconds. Thus, 20.40.55 + 3.15.30 = 23.55.85 or 05.24.25 (bringing the result to an acceptable form).

Tip 3: What is the ascendant and how does it affect character
Astrology is not official science, however, many people resort to studying character by the stars. According to many years of astrological data, a person’s character is influenced by three components: the zodiac sign (the location of the Sun in one of the 12 lobes of the zodiac circle), the lunar sign (the location of the Moon) and the ascendant. Knowing the terminology and some features of the concept of the ascendant, you can calculate what strong and weak sides is in a person.
What is the Ascendant?
If you draw a circle of movement of the Earth around the Sun (the plane of the ecliptic) and a line from the center to the east, then the ascendant will be the intersection point in the east of the horizon. The exact place of birth of a person helps determine where east is.
The zodiac sign (the location of the sun in a sign) reflects a person’s external behavior in relation to the world as a whole, career, and people. The Moon in a sign denotes internal characteristics, what resources a person has and how he sees himself. The Ascendant is ulterior motives. Considering the concepts from the point of view of psychology, the zodiac will be interaction with the world, the moon sign will be consciousness, and the ascendant will be the subconscious.
How to calculate the ascendant?
You can calculate the ascendant using special tables and schematic sketches. The approximate one is independently calculated according to the exact time of sunrise and sunset on a person’s birthday (can be viewed on the calendar).
Draw the zodiac circle. The starting point (sunrise) will be your zodiac sign. Every 2-4 hours after sunrise, the ascendant moves approximately one sign clockwise.
It happens that the rising point coincides with the sun sign. A person born at dawn will have a sign equal to the zodiac sign in his ascendant. This is called a double sign (eg, double, etc.). At the same time, all characteristics, both positive and negative, are enhanced.
The influence of the ascendant on character
The Ascendant is divided into masculine and feminine. Masculine signs are considered to be the signs of fire (Leo, Sagittarius, Aries) and air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius), while feminine signs are the signs of water (Pisces, Cancer, Scorpio) and earth (Virgo, Taurus, Capricorn).
If a woman has a female sign in her ascendant, this has a beneficial effect on motherhood and character in general. Smooth movements, softness, the ability to forgive, etc. appear.
The male sign enhances tough character traits and strong-willed qualities. A man with a masculine sign on the ascendant is a born fighter and conqueror. When the signs change: a man is born with a feminine sign, and a woman with a masculine one, this allows us to talk about the flexibility of character - a person easily adapts to any situation (provided that the ascendant is not clearly expressed).
A pronounced feminine ascendant in a man (Cancer, Pisces, Virgo) suppresses masculine energy, making a man timid and shy, driven in capable hands. And the male (Leo, Aries, Scorpio) ascendant in a woman makes the woman adamant and somewhat rude.
A complete character must be compiled taking into account all the features: typical-atypical zodiac sign (depending on the decade of birth), etc. It is worth considering that science denies the influence of a horoscope on character and attributes all sorts of coincidences to the strength of a person’s faith in prediction.
Tip 4: Scorpio on the Ascendant: interaction with the sun sign
People who believe in astrology usually pay a lot of attention to their zodiac sign. The sign under which a person was born is really very important. But the position of the ascendant at the moment of birth has no less influence on a person’s character. Especially interesting situation occurs if the ascendant is in the sign of Scorpio.
The ascendant is the point of rising, the degree of intersection of the ecliptic with eastern part horoscope. In a horoscope, the ascendant is marked with the letters Asc; it indicates the zodiac sign ascending at the moment of a person’s birth.
Ascendant Meaning
The rising sign has a very significant influence on a person’s personality, sometimes greatly changing his character. For example, a person was born under the sign of Scorpio - we can assume that he will be a strong-willed person. But at the time of birth, the ascendant was in Pisces, which determined the external manifestations of a person’s character - shyness, impracticality, constraint.
It is important to understand that the ascendant shapes precisely the external qualities of a person - the way he manifests himself in communication, in public. At the same time, the qualities of the solar sign are not canceled. A person born under the sign of Scorpio with Pisces in the ascendant will have a strong will, but it will manifest itself in his integrity, the ability to go towards the goal, no matter what. But outwardly he will be a rather weak, indecisive person.
