The Ascendant
We know that the zodiacal sign is based on the date of birth of a person, however, to know the ascendant of a person is different. It is necessary to know exactly at what time you were born as it depends on what you see on the horizon just at that time. The zodiac sign usually informs you about the soul of a person, but the ascendant is based on the personality. It indicates the behavior we have, the temperament of the person, physical appearance and how others perceive you. It is considered a very important factor in the horoscope.
Knowing the ascendant of a person can help us knowing the type of energy he or she has and explains the way of acting. The signs are divided into the four natural elements: Fire (Aries, Leo and Sagittarius) faces life with enthusiasm, lots of energy, and courage. The air (Gemini, Libra and Aquarius) is thoughtful and feels a great need to develop its intellectual skills. The earth (Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn) stands out for being persevering and having determination. The water (Pisces, Cancer, and Scorpio) faces life with sensitivity and emotion.
The ascendant influences not only the character but also the life of a person. There are beneficial planets, such as Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, and also the Sun. Complicating planets are Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, or Pluto.
How do you know your ascendant?
