What is the Ascendant?
The Ascendant is the degree of the zodiac that rises above the eastern horizon at the moment of one's birth. If, for instance, this degree happens to be in the Cancer section of the zodiac, the newborn individual is known to be "Ascendant Cancer". Another individual may be "Ascendant Leo", "Ascendant Sagittarius", or "Ascendant Capricorn", and so on.
Therefore, it's the moment of the day when one is born that determines one's Ascendant.
The meanings of the Ascendant
The nuances brought by the Ascendant to the general characteristics of the sun Sign are by no means negligible. The Ascendant modifies and particularizes the sun Sign. For instance, a Sagittarius individual with the Ascendant in Aries (Sagittarius Ascendant Aries) is not the same personality as another a Sagittarius individual but with the Ascendant in Pisces (Sagittarius Ascendant Pisces). The former will be inclined by the Ascendant Aries toward dynamism, heroism, and confrontation, whereas the latter will be inclined by the Ascendant Pisces toward more ponderation, moderation, and reverie.
This article will show you the main features of each sun Sign as modified and particularized by each of the twelve Ascendants.
