YOUR ASCENDANT (Rising Sign)

Your Rising sign is the sign of the zodiac that was just coming up over the eastern horizon at the moment that you were born. If you were born at sunrise, your Rising sign would be the same as your sun sign. That's because the Sun sign tells you what part of the zodiac the Sun was in at that time. Since that was the part of the zodiac rising over the horizon at sunrise, it is also your Rising sign. If you were born a few hours earlier, or a few hours later a different part of the zodiac would be rising or ascending, over the eastern horizon. Another name for your Rising sign is your "Ascendant".

Your Rising sign is important for two reasons. First like your Sun sign, it serves to establish a basic pattern in your life. Where the Sun establishes your character, or who you really are, your Rising sign determines your personality, or what you show the world as you deal with it.

Second, it establishes the position of your houses in the zodiac. That's because your Rising sign marks the beginning of your first house. Here are descriptions of the personalities that go with each rising sign:

Aries: Outspoken   Taurus: Timid   Gemini: Talkative   
Cancer: Sympathetic   Leo: Dignified   Virgo: Shy
Libra: Charming   Scorpio: Intense   Sagittarius: Expansive
Capricorn: Serious   Aquarius: Considerate   Pisces: Idealistic

DESCENDANT

The Descendant is the angle directly across from the Ascendant. It is the cusp of the Seventh House. It determines your marriage, partnership and any interaction with others.

SIGNS

The twelve signs of the zodiac show the positions along the ecliptic where the planets can be found on any date. These planetary positions don't change very much during a single day. However, the earth's rotation brings a new rising sign into play about every two hours. Remember the zodiac is fixed in space, it just seems to move across the sky because of the earth's rotation each day.

The houses represent the different departments of life in which your planetary energies find their expressions. For example, your character and personality, which are set up by your planets in the different signs, will be directed either into personal or public matters, depending on whether they fall into the houses of the Northern Hemisphere, or Southern Hemisphere, respectively. Again you will be self_sufficient if they fall into the eastern houses or dependent on others if they fall into the western houses

Each house represents a cluster of interests and activities just as each sign represents a cluster of traits and approaches for dealing with those activities. The spheres of interest of each house are as follows:

First    Self, appearance.
Second    Earnings, possessions
. Third    
Communications, relatives. Fourth    Home, parents.
Fifth    Pleasures, children.
Sixth    Health, service.
Seventh    Spouse, partnerships.
Eighth     Death, regeneration.
Ninth    Philosophy, travel.
Tenth    Career, status.
Eleventh     Friends, aspirations.
Twelfth     Secrets, limitations.

The distribution of your houses into different groupings of hemispheres and groupings of elements and positions determine the over_all focus of your activities. If most of your planets fall into one of the hemispheres the significance is as follows:

Northern    A focus on private matters.
Southern    A focus on private activities.
Eastern     Activities are self_started.
Western    Dependence on others' energies

ASPECTS

The cosmic energies of the planets in the positions of the zodiac in the houses are also affected by how the planets are positioned with respect to each other at any time. Some positions produce arrangements that reinforce these energies in helpful ways, while others bring about disruptive effects. These relations between planetary positions are called Aspects.

You may have heard about aspects if you have heard about oppositions and squares, or conjunctions and trines. When any two planets are in the same sign of the zodiac, they are in Conjunction. If any two planets are opposite each other in the zodiac, then they are in Opposition. If any two planets are at 90 degree angles (Right Angles) to each other then they are Squared. When any two planes are at 60 degree angles to each other, then they are Sextile, and when they are 120 degrees apart they are Trine.

The effect of an aspect between two planets is strongest when the fastest planet reaches the exact angle of the aspect. However effects can be felt over several degrees (called the Orb), depending on which planet is involved and on whether it is a major or a minor aspect.

The interpretation of aspects is based impart on how the planets fall into signs with similar or conflicting elements and qualities. For example, the square aspect has planets in the same quality, but conflicting elements (e.g., fire and water) while the trine aspect the planets are in the same element, but stimulated by different qualities.

The aspects are no longer described as good or bad, but rather as harmonious or inharmonious. Harmonious aspects can help matters along. Inharmonious aspects ("badly" aspected planets) introduce stresses, many of which can actually help you if you learn to deal with them. A brief description of the meaning of the major aspects is as follows:

Major Aspects:

Conjunction (0 degrees):
Neither harmonious or inharmonious, this aspect merges and intensifies the energies of two planets. Inner tension can arise if the planets have conflicting natures.

Sextile (60 degrees, two signs apart):
Harmonious aspect that helps energies flow toward attainment of your goals, provided you make some conscious effort to achieve them yourself.

Square (90 degrees, three signs apart):
Inharmonious aspect causing tensions and obstacles for you to overcome. It forces you to choose between your conflicting inner needs and urges.

Trine (120 degrees, four signs apart):
Harmonious aspect that brings the two energies into an easy interplay. This can create such beneficial consequences that things become to easy for you and you become lazy.

Opposition (180 degrees, six signs apart):
Inharmonious aspect creating inner tensions between your planetary urges. It also creates dynamic tensions with others, which you must reconcile if you want to maintain harmonious relationships.

Minor Aspects:

Semi_Sextile (30 degrees, 1 sign apart):
A minor harmonious aspect. It is considered important to some astrologers in natal astrology. It is similar to sextile but minor, It also can mitigate other inharmonious aspects.

Semi_Square (45 degrees, 1_1/2 signs apart):
A minor inharmonious aspect. This causes friction and irritation between planets in aspects. This causes mild stress and tension.

Sesquiquadrate (135 degrees, 4_1/2 signs apart):
A little more minor than Semi_Square. This causes irritation and causes aggravation and discord.

Quincunx (150 degrees, 5 signs apart or Inconjunct):
This aspect is another minor inharmonious one. It suggests a need for adjustment.

Wishing all a wonderful holiday and all the best for the coming New Year.
