What is the Ascendant in Astrology







Your Ascendant indicates how we "appear" others, their first impression, and also your personal image, and how you would like to be noticed. Therefore the traits of the Sign of Awakening are more evident than the features of the sign of the Sun during the first meeting. It's what people see for the first time on the surface, and it's the "mask" we wear in public or the facade we hide behind. Although deep down we are really more like our solar sign, this takes more time to become obvious.
