Ascendant is the eastern point of the horoscope. The ascendant sign symbolizes how we behave and influences our environment, how we try to find our personality, and with what or with whom we identify ourselves. It represents a desire with which we come to the world and which we must fulfill in our lives.

If the Ascendant falls closer to the beginning of the sign, then its influence will be more noticeable in the individuality of a person. The same thing happens if the Sun is in a weak position on the birth chart. It is also assumed that the influence is weaker if a person is born closer to the end of the ascendant sign, at the moment before the next sign comes out.

Since the ascendant sign is determined by the time and place of birth of a person, it represents the environment and conditions that can affect a person during her childhood. This is considered a vital and essential sign, as well as the influence of the Sun and Moon.

The Ascendant shows us what kind of mask we put on in public, this is the first impression that we make when getting to know people. The Ascendant is present in the external appearance and personality of a person, sometimes going as far as the influence of physical characteristics.

The sign becomes noticeably expressed in the image of a person, style, and manner of holding oneself. It also affects how a person acts. Some astrologers believe that the sign becomes weaker after a person reaches 30 years, as his confidence in who he is is growing.

The ascendant sign is manifested in the first personal traits that are inherent in man, in how he reacts to the environment. Like the signs of the zodiac, the Ascendant falls into one of the following categories: Fire, Earth, Air, and Water. The fiery rising signs, Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius, seem energetic, optimistic, and enthusiastic. They are usually perceived as friendly, uncritical, tolerant. The ascending signs of the Earth: Taurus, Capricorn, and Virgo, are considered practical and safe. They may seem a little timid or severe and cautious. Aerial ascending signs: Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius, good in communications. They feel great in company with other people, they are friendly, but they are independent or detached. Water rising signs: Pisces, Scorpio, and Cancer, are seen as emotional, intuitive, and sensitive. These people usually hide their true feelings and emotions. They feel the need to protect themselves from the outside world and present themselves to others in such a way that they do not feel risky.
