Astrologers often give a note of “ascendant” in their horoscopes (see weekly horoscopes for all zodiac signs on the The Fashion Vibes website), and this statement surprises many. Today we will tell you who they are, how to calculate your ascendant and why you need it.
rising or a rising sign compiles the horoscope point to the sign of the zodiac at the exact moment of birth (in hours and minutes). This is the zodiac sign you are most comfortable with psychologically. It affects a person’s behavior and position in society. It creates the image by influencing the appearance and tastes of the clothes.
The ascendant also plays a large role in the process of personality formation: it regulates the degree of independence, the desire to know oneself and the world around, the perception of one’s individuality.
To calculate your ascendant, you need to add the date of birth, exact time of birth and geographic coordinates. The more accurate these data are, the closer the result will be to the truth. Why is it important? Every two hours the signs of the zodiac change and rise a new degree every four minutes.
The rising sign is easier to calculate by knowing the sunrise and sunset times. At dawn, the rising sun is in your sign and then they overlap. If you were born 2-4 hours after sunrise, the sign will shift one step (since you are Scorpio, you will be Sagittarius in the ascendant). When born somewhere in the middle between sunset and dawn, the difference will be nine steps (Scorpio – Leo).
The sun sign of the zodiac is a manifestation of individuality, external behavior of a person, attitude to life.
Ascendant – the subconscious, the dark side of a person, the way he is perceived in society.
