Ascendant, also known as the rising sign is a sign which is rising on the eastern horizon when you were born. This is also the first house in the astrological natal birth chart. Ascendant (Lagna) represents the presence of a person in a physical form.
The Ascendant symbolizes the personality; appearance; body-type; mask; environment; surrounding and birth circumstances. It is the part of ourselves that is most readily shown to (and seen by) the outside world.
"The sign rising on the horizon at your first breath becomes the lens through which the world first sees you."
Because the Ascendant shifts roughly every two hours, an accurate birth time is essential — it is the single most time-sensitive point in your entire natal chart.
