"The Sun sign is the center of your self," writes Susan Miller of "Astrology Zone". Think of it as the boss of your personality. When asked "what sign are you?" they are actually asking you "what is your Sun sign." What about the ascendant?
Some of the greatest astrologers support people's claims that they sometimes do not identify with the characteristics of their sign (Sun sign). And this is true. As people get older, some people may identify more with a different sign.
Let's take an example: Let's say that you are a Virgo in your horoscope and when you introduce yourself to people, they expect you to be serious and take an attitude where no emotion is visible. But your Sagittarius ascendant makes you appear more enthusiastic and happy.
The Ascendant is how you present yourself to the world with will and desire. The Ascendant is the lens through which you view the interactions and happenings around you. It determines the way others see you and what you expect from the world around you.
The formula for calculating the ascendant is as follows:
Here's someone who took it seriously on Quora and calculated it himself:
But clearly no one is going to get into sines and cosines now as long as there are sites specifically designed to accurately calculate your ascendant. You must set the day, month, year, time and city of birth.
PS Some people can have the ascendant the same as the Sun sign, or the sign they've had for years, hehe.
