The ascendant - or the rising sign - is also known as the beginning of the first of the twelve houses in astrology.

You need to know not just birthdate, but also time and place to find the right spot of the ascendant.

The meaning of ascendant is that it is our "persona". It means it's not the person you are inside yourself, for example when you're home alone and think and feel, or when you're in bed and are about to sleep.

No, ascendant is your mask - the way you present yourself to the world.

One can say that while the sun is what you wish for, and the moon is what you need - the ascendant is the way you make these things happen.

My research shows that you can put another keyword to the ascendant - and that is "hurry".
