The Ascendant as it relates to Life Purpose

The Ascendant or Rising Sign points to the primary motivation that drives the Soul.

The ruler of the Ascendant guides the life to it’s destination.

If the planetary ruler of the Ascendant is conjunct another planet or asteroid, a fixed star, or other personal point it will add to it’s meaning/effect as ‘guide’.

Planets within one degree declination of the Ascendant will add to it’s meaning.
