A Journey to Your Inner Space

Have you ever left the house in a rush, only to discover upon returning that you had forgotten to place the key to your home in a purse or pocket? If so, then you know the feeling of utter frustration that accompanied your discovery that the key was lost. In a similar sense, the ability to access information in astrology is to use the right key, as if you do, the door to your horoscope will open, as if by magic. In the case of your birth chart that door is the sign that was rising in the East, and the Open Sesame, the key, to that door is the Ascendant, the exact degree in your rising sign that was on the horizon when you born.

The Ascendant is a good way to get pertinent astrological information about various events, and to understand the energy present in those events. Suppose that you are hosting a party, opening up a retail store, attending a meeting with your boss, or witnessing the birth of your best friend’s child. Each of those cases, just like the event of a birth, has an Ascendant. In a birth chart, the Ascendant has an enormous influence over how you look, how you dress, and how you present yourself to the world
