YOUR ASCENDANT

The Ascendant ( also called the 'rising sign' ) is the zodiac sign rising over the eastern horizon at the exact time of your birth. Because of the constant rotation of the Earth, one degree of the zodiac rises every four minutes, so it is very important to have an accurate birth time.

Some signs take longer to rise in certain latitudes, others take a shorter time to rise - a professional astrologer will be able to calculate your correct rising sign for your time and place of birth. However, as a quick reference guide to your likely Ascendant, use the grid on the next page.
