ZODIAC SIGNS: HOW TO CALCULATE YOUR ASCENDANT
Share
We have written several posts on the zodiac signs and explored each individual sign in depth. Wanting to broaden our discussion of the zodiac, we cannot ignore the other influences that provide us with information about ourselves.

In addition to the solar and lunar positions, it is important to know which constellation was rising in the East at the time of our birth, precisely in the place of our birth. This data is commonly called: Ascendant . This information tells us a lot about the unborn child, how he perceives himself, how he navigates the world, and how much it strengthens or mitigates the archetypal character of his zodiac sign.
For example: an Aries Ascending Virgo will be more thoughtful than an Aries Ascending Leo. Knowing the exact time of birth, along with the day, month, and year, and of course the geographic location, we can trace the sky as it appeared at that moment. From this, we can deduce the important influences the unborn child received in those first moments. These are electrical variations caused by the Earth's rotation that profoundly affect the human psyche.
Some experts define the Ascendant Like the mask we wear, a sort of public image. In reality, it's more complex than you might think.
The Ascendant It's a kind of protection of our true identity, which can be very much in tune with the first or can instead be in contrast with it. It depends on several factors. If the solar position represents our true nature, the Ascendant It's our public personality, the way we relate to others. This sort of protection of our real personality is said to wane after the age of 30. That is, when a human being becomes mature and more aware, they free themselves from the influence of this protection and begin to live according to their sunny nature.
The Ascendant It says a lot about the physical appearance and overall appearance. A well-aspected Ascendant will make a person more attractive, but the appearance should also be in harmony with the interior.
Disharmony between the Ascendant (outward appearance) and the Sun sign (deepest nature) is the cause of many disappointments: one is attracted to the Ascendant but then disappointed by the partner's true personality. A classic.
The Ascendant , and the planet that rules it, have a great influence on our ability to react to stress or shock and on our general health. The influence of the Ascendant in this area it is always modified by the condition of the Sun and the Moon.<
To be able to calculate your own Ascending It is therefore necessary to know the time of your birth. Below we provide some tables that, for each sign, will help you find the corresponding Ascendant .
If the Sun represents the ego, the Moon our subconscious, the Ascendant It is certainly one of the strongest aspects that influence personality.
