How to determine your rising zodiac sign. Ascendant - rising zodiac sign

What is the Ascendant?

The Ascendant is a very important point in every horoscope. When you just start studying astrology, then all these concepts “Ascendant”, “Descendant”... seem like something incomprehensible. In fact, everything is very simple.

When constructing a horoscope, why do we start? From date, time and place of birth. This is the very starting point.

For example, date of birth (DO) 16.09.1980 V 10:00 V Zaporozhye. To buildhoroscope for this person we need to see what zodiac sign was rising on the horizon at the time of his birth and in what degree of this sign Asc fell. In other words, the Ascendant is the degree of the Zodiac that is on the eastern side of the horizon (or the ascending degree) at the time of birth, as seen from the place where the person was born.

In most astrological house systems, the Ascendant (Asc.) is used as the cusp of the first house and is the starting point in constructing the horoscope house grid.


This can be done using Ephemeris and house tables, which is quite clever. But today everything is much simpler - there are professional computer programs. Also, knowing the time of sunrise and sunset on your birthday (which can be found in any even detachable calendar), you can also “estimate” your Ascendant. Here's the simplest way:

  • If you were born at dawn, then the Ascendant will be equal to your Zodiac sign. That is, if you are Cancer, then rising sign You also have Cancer in your Horoscope.
  • 2-4 hours after sunrise the Ascendant moves by about one sign. That is, if you are Cancer, but were born at 7 o’clock in the morning, then your rising sign is already Leo.
  • 4-6 hours after sunrise the Ascendant will move through two signs. This will already be Virgo for our Cancer.
  • Being born in the middle of the day means that the Ascendant moves about three signs.
  • 4-6 hours before sunset - four digits. Our Cancer will most likely already be Scorpio according to the Ascendant. And so on.

That is, at the heart of this very simple method it is implied that every 2-4 hours the Ascendant moves approximately one sign (30 degrees). But this is conditional, of course. Because there are signs that travel through the Ascendant for more than 2 hours, but there are also those that move much faster, less than 2 hours. They are called the signs of fast and slow ascension.

Therefore, the easiest way to accurately determine your Ascendant is to use a computer program that allows you to calculate your natal chart.

So, in our example for DR: 09/16/1980 10:00, Zaporozhye

What does the Ascendant show in the Horoscope?

This is, figuratively speaking, the door through which we enter this world after taking our first breath. We were born. Under what circumstances were we born, what preceded it, how do we perceive the world, what do we look like, our appearance, our reaction? All this information is given by the rising sign.

09/16/1980 10:00, Zaporozhye – The Ascendant in the birth chart is in the 3rd degree of Scorpio.

What can we say about this person?

According to his manifestations, he is Scorpion. We begin to build on this in our reasoning, describing the behavior, character and appearance of a given person.

Scorpio - implies some tension, internal contradictions, aggressiveness. It is possible that before giving birth the mother of the newborn experienced some negative emotions, anxiety, worries, I didn’t really want pregnancy... something was inharmonious. There could have been complications or bad attitude from the staff during the birth. That is, the child went through negativity. As a result, he will be restless, loud, and demanding.

In the appearance of this person, despite the fact that he is a Virgo according to the Sun (“according to the Horoscope”), there will be something Scorpio-like - for example, a hooked nose, a sharp, mocking look, as if from under his brows. The character will show secrecy, some poisonousness, anger, and aggressiveness. In life, such a person will have to face crises more than once. Scorpio attracts negativity.

It must be said that the Ascendant is also how other people see us, what we are in their eyes, our abilities and talents. If at the time of birth the Ascendant was strengthened by connection with anyplanet, then all of the above becomes a priority in the interpretation of the Horoscope. Most likely, it is precisely according to this scenario that the life of its owner, the native, will develop.

And the Ascendant are the three most important figures in the natal chart, determining personality and the forms of its manifestation. They rarely converge in the same sign, although such cases do occur (it is precisely such cases that most correspond classical descriptions one or another sign). As a rule, for men, the Sun constitutes the “basis” of personality, a set of its permanent properties, and the Moon determines the forms of their manifestation - the degree of adaptability to the environment, trends and dynamics of development. For women, both luminaries “change roles.”

The Ascendant shows the degree of realization of the potential inherent in a person. We can say that the solar-lunar horoscope is like a “genotype” of a person, a set of properties, given to a person at birth, a product of a certain geomagnetic situation ( left hand in palmistry). Whereas the Ascendant can be called an astrological “phenotype”, a set of properties acquired by a person more or less consciously throughout life (in palmistry - right hand). This is an expression of that very freedom of will that Ptolemy spoke about, pointing out that the “stars” determine only half of one’s destiny—a person arranges everything else for himself. Another thing is that not all people can (or want) to become “the architects of their own happiness”; many just go with the flow, leaving fate to make decisions for them.

Another difficulty is that in the West it is customary to record a person’s time of birth to the nearest minute, so calculating the Ascendant there rarely causes difficulties. In Eastern countries (including the Soviet Union), such an opportunity is not always available; the error in the time of birth can reach several hours. Here you have to either rectify the Ascendant based on life events, or make do with a solar-lunar horoscope, which, unfortunately, is more like a magazine horoscope for large masses of people.

But let's return to the houses counted from the Ascendant. We received twelve different sizes - their size varies depending on geographical latitude, time of year, and also depending on the time of day. In addition, we received four important points, one of which is the Ascendant. Let's consider them in more detail.

Descendant in cosmogram

Directly opposite the ascendant is the descendant, the descending (or setting) degree. If at the moment of a person’s birth in the East some degree of the celestial circle rises, then in the West, naturally, at the same moment some degree sets and is called the descendant or descendant. The Descendant is a point and is designated by the letters DS.

The ascendant-descendant line represents the horizontal or, more simply, the horizon. If the ascendant corresponds to the human "I", the beginning human personality(edge), then the descendant is the point of knowledge of the environment, the point of a person’s relationship to other people and their relationship to him, it is not without reason that the descendant opens, “the house of marriage and partner.”

Further on the cosmogram there are two more points that make up the points of the IV and X houses; the first point is called the nadir, the second the middle of the sky. The nadir opens the fourth house and is designated IC (from the Latin “imum goal” - the lower part of the sky). The midheaven corresponds to the cusp of the tenth house and is designated MC (from the Latin "medium of purpose", meaning the same).

In a physical sense, IC corresponds to midnight and MC to noon: these points of the ecliptic the Sun passes at (approximately) twelve o'clock in the afternoon or night of a given calendar date. On the cosmogram of a person born, say, at 11.45 local solar time, the MC point almost coincides with the position of the Sun, and if born at 12.05, it will leave it slightly behind.

In occult terms, nadir (IC) personifies the “initial capital” of a person, the genetic and mental baggage given to him at birth; the midheaven (MC) represents the goal of his aspirations, the “zenith” to which his personality strives in the course of its development. Human life seems to follow the line connecting the nadir to the zenith. This line (IC-MC) is called the meridian.

The horizon line divides the cosmogram into northern and southern, and the meridian line into western and eastern halves. Even a quick glance at the cosmogram is enough to determine how the planets are located relative to these lines and draw some conclusions.

For a better representation, redraw yours on a blank sheet of paper, and draw two lines along the blue arrows, the Ascendant (AS) in the 1st house and the Midheaven (MC) in the 10th house. It is recommended for all novice astrologers to redraw the map; this will help them plunge more deeply into the mystery of the influence of subtle energies.

If most of the planets are above the horizon, that is, in the southern half of the cosmogram, this usually means that the “owner” of the horoscope is a man of action: he prefers to control his own destiny. How Sun is closer to the meridian, the higher the position it reaches. This is true even in cases where other indicators are not entirely favorable.

If the planets are located more below the horizon, in the northern half of the cosmogram, then fate is not very favorable to a person: all of his development occurs “inside”, in the soul, without giving a tangible social result. Such a person is usually unable to cope with circumstances. If the Sun or Jupiter is near the nadir (IC), that is, the lowest point of the northern half of the sky, a person often devotes himself to mystical teachings, metaphysics, and occult sciences. If Mars and Saturn are near this point, this indicates tense relations in the family.

If most of the planets fall in the eastern half, that is, within the triangle MC-AS-IC, this means early development personality, bright events in youth, in general, early independence of a person, and under other favorable conditions - early success in life. If the horoscope is generally unfavorable, this can mean many difficulties and obstacles in the first half of life.

If the planets are concentrated mainly in the western half, that is, in the triangle IC-DS-MC, then the most important events will occur in the second half of life. Such people generally tend to wait and not take active action; they make decisions that are imposed on them environment. At all inner life For them, the external one is more important.

The horizon and meridian divide the cosmogram into four sectors - quadrants. These sectors are rarely equal to each other, because at different latitudes and in different time year, day and night, light and dark times of day have different durations. American astrologer Dane Rudyard in his book “Personality Astrology” indicates that the northwestern sector gives the concept of a person’s emotional sphere, and the southeastern sector gives an idea of ​​his logical thinking; the southwestern one talks about the peculiarities of his perception, and the northeastern one talks about the ways of processing information.

The rising sign is the sign rising on the eastern horizon at the time of birth and visible from the place of birth. It is used to mark the dividing line of the First House, which is associated with physical body. What is important is not only the exact degree of the ecliptic to which this sign rises, but also the entire zodiac sign to which it belongs. As a result of the continuous movement of the Earth, the angle of the ecliptic in degrees changes every four minutes. Bearers of the same zodiac sign who were born more than four minutes apart may have different ascending signs.

The angle of elevation of the ascending sign on the chart indicates a dense line of electromagnetic energy passing into the astral body. People with clairvoyance see it well. Most people do not know the exact time of their birth. Even parents are surprised when they are asked to remember at what exact time the child was born.

Practicing astrologers use various methods to solve this problem. It is possible to calculate based on the dates of vital events: first serious illness, accidents, death of parents, marriage, birth of a child, etc. Another method is based on comparing the positions of the Houses and the relative positions of stars and planets in a person’s horoscope with his social status, character traits, type of work or profession and financial situation. If the moment of conception is known, the ascending sign can be determined on this basis.

Ascendant or rising sign (these terms are equivalent) - important element your horoscope. The Ascendant is the sign that reflects your external behavior; it largely determines how he sees you the world. The word "external" is key when referring to your rising sign, as it represents the outer side of your personality. Taking advantage modern language, we can say that this is your image.

Very often it turns out that the ascendant is responsible for what the world sees in you first of all, what is the first impression you make. Many astrologers believe that your rising sign reveals you more directly than your Sun sign. The Ascendant is compared to the door of a house, the entrance through which the visitor must pass to see the dwelling itself.

The face that a person shows to the outside world is a fusion of the sign in which the Sun is located with the ascendant. This combination determines the unique impression you make. Your Moon sign is associated with the more hidden aspects of your personality. This influence is deep and all-encompassing, but others feel it in your character rather than see it lying on the surface.

Since the ascendant is the sign rising above the horizon at the time of your birth (hence the term "rising sign"), it reflects the moment when your independent life in this world began. It characterizes your interaction with others, your individual communication style.

The Ascendant is called the sign of your “I” - your self-awareness, independence, interest in yourself. In many ways, the rising sign denotes your goals, aspirations, and indicates the main area of ​​application of your creative powers. To some extent, this sign also affects external characteristics and manners. This is your mask facing the world. Like any mask, it can hide the true face, but rather it is part of the real face. This is the face that you show to others with the greatest ease and naturalness.

What is the Ascendant? In its simplest definition, the ascendant is the astrological sign rising on the eastern horizon at the time of your birth. To better understand what this means, imagine the Earth as a small circle at the center of a larger circle. The second circle depicts the sky, the celestial sphere surrounding us. You lie on a small circle (Earth) and look up at the sky at the moment of your birth.

When a person says that he was born under a certain sign, he means the sign of the Sun (that is, the sign in which the Sun is at the time of birth). However, when astrologers talk about the sign under which an individual is born, they mean the ascendant. Previously, the ascendant was considered more important factor, than the sign of the Sun, but in the twentieth century this opinion was abandoned.

However, many astrologers believe that the ascendant line is the main component of the birth chart, since other parameters of the horoscope can be calculated based on its position. One thing is certain: without establishing the ascendant, the interpretation of the horoscope remains limited, and it will never become truly natal, that is, relating to the moment of birth.

The importance of the ascendant in astrology is difficult to overestimate. Calculating the ascendant will allow you to learn a lot of interesting things about the facets of your personality and help you understand your character traits. Let's talk about how to calculate the ascendant in the natal chart.

IN Vedic astrology The ascendant is usually called one of the following names: lagna, janma lagna or Udaya Lagna. All these concepts denote the zodiac sign in contact with the horizon line in the East at the moment of a person’s birth (ascending sign). Before answering the question of how to calculate your ascendant, let's remember the influence of the Sun and Moon on the character and personality of a person.

Sun, Moon and Ascendant in the horoscope

Most people are accustomed to paying attention only to the solar and lunar signs of the zodiac, i.e. on what sign the Sun and Moon were in at the time of a person’s birth. But the rising sign plays almost vital role in drawing up a complete “cosmic portrait” of a person.

Sun (Surya) responsible for spiritual strength, vital energy, development. The solar zodiac sign has a greater influence on inner essence a person, his self-awareness, the way he directs active energy into the world.

Moon (Chandra)“manages” the unconscious, emotions, reflexes and habits characteristic of us. Moon sign determined by what zodiac sign the Moon was in at the time of your birth. It indicates how a person adapts to external circumstances, building a kind of psychological defense, as well as how a person behaves alone with himself.

In the case when the sign located in the ascendant coincides with the lunar or solar signs, the potential inherent in the ascendant sign is enhanced.

The rising sign determines how we perceive this world and how our self-expression occurs in it. . In other words, the lagna influences the first impression that we make on the environment, and, conversely, the impression of the world around us that we form in the process of learning it.

It is the ascendant that is responsible for what psychological qualities and physiological characteristics we inherit from our parents. Our talents and abilities, demeanor, position in society, state of health - all this also lies in the area of ​​​​responsibility of the lagna.

To do this you need to know exact time birth of a person, since the ascendant is quite mobile: it moves to the next zodiac sign in just 2 hours (for comparison: for the Sun it takes a month, for the Moon - 2.5 days). Calculate your ascendant using our table:

Time of birth Rising sign
At sunrise (+/- 1 hour) Matches the sun sign of the zodiac
2-4 hours earlier or later than sunrise First sign from the sun sign (for example, if you are Gemini, then your ascendant will be either Taurus (-2 hours) or Cancer (+2 hours)
4-6 hours earlier or later than sunrise Second sign from the solar (for example, for Gemini the ascendant will be either Aries or Leo)
During the day between sunrise and sunset Third sign from the solar (for example, for Gemini - Virgo)
4-6 hours before sunset Fourth sign from the solar (for example, for Gemini - Libra)
2-4 before sunset Fifth sign from the solar (for example, for Gemini - Scorpio)
At sunset (+/- 1 hour) The sixth sign from the solar (for example, for Gemini - Sagittarius)
2-4 hours after sunset Seventh sign from the solar (for example, for Gemini - Capricorn)
4-6 hours after sunset Eighth sign from the solar (for example, for Gemini - Aquarius)
At night between sunset and sunrise Ninth sign from the solar (for example, for Gemini - Pisces)
