The Twelve Ascendants: your charisma at a glance
The Ascendant is the sign that rose above the horizon in the East at the moment of your birth. It describes how you affect others, how you start new things and the attitude with which you approach the world. In addition to the sun and moon, it is the third major building block in your horoscope.
Because the Earth rotates once in a day, the entire zodiac moves across the horizon during this time. The ascendant therefore changes sign on average every two hours. For him you need your birth time, as precise as possible.

Sun, Moon and Ascendant
The sun shows who you are at your core and where you want to go. The moon describes what you feel and need. The ascendant is the door through which you enter the world: your first impression, your demeanor, your spontaneous way of approaching new things. Many people recognize themselves more by their ascendant than by their zodiac sign, especially in unfamiliar situations.
Opposite the Ascendant is the Descendant. It describes what you look for in relationships and the people you are attracted to. On each ascendant page you will also find a section on love.
Why some ascendants are more common
Not every sign takes the same amount of time to rise. In Central Europe, Aries and Pisces rise above the horizon in just under an hour, while Leo, Virgo, Libra and Scorpio rise in almost three hours. That's why many more people here have an ascendant in one of these four signs than in Aries or Pisces.
