The ascendant is a zodiac rising on the Eastern horizon at the
time of your birth. The Earth takes 24 hours to spin around its axis,
hence all 12 zodiac signs will rise on the Eastern horizon sometime or
other. Your ascendant is a zodiac sign associated with the number in the
1st house. For example, if you have the number "3" in the 1st house,
your ascendant is "Gemini". The ascendant helps understand the course of
the life. The strong ascendant enjoys a healthy, wealthy and successful
life.
