This one is situated in your 1st house – by the way, you are born with 12 houses! So, do you know your ascendant and its strength? Since it shows your appearance, health, behavior, virtue, birth, body, honor, dignity, character, intelligence, starting off in life, structure of life and your head, your ascendant reflects the foundation of your many capacities. Is it dominated by fire, water, earth or air? Are you a reptile, watery creature, package of 10 fire work sticks or a breath of air?
This all important house and the planet related to its zodiac sign control all the remaining positions of the horoscope; their strength or weakness will reflect the quality of life.
Example: Judith is Aries ascendant. Mars, the planet related to the sign of Aries, is placed in Cancer, its sign of debilitation. This signifies that Judith, like all good Aries, has a strong desire for action but, because of Mars' position, she needs to be motivated by external factors to really get her into the game…
You can get a glimpse of nature's gift to you by knowing your ascendant in all its glory and reality because this important organ says much about the rest of your person…
