The ascendant is the eastern point where the ecliptic and horizon intersect. Its opposite point in the west is the descendant.In draughting a horoscope the ascendant is traditionally placed as the left-most point of the chart. In the course of a day, because of the earth's rotation, the entire circle of the ecliptic will pass through the ascendant and it will be advanced by about 1?. This provides us with the term rising sign, which is the sign of the zodiac appearing on the native's ascendant.

To complete the horoscope the astrologer will consider the aspects or relative angles between pairs of planets. Certain aspects carry greater importance. Those generally recognized by the astrological community are conjunction (0?), opposition (180?), square (90?), trine (120?) and sextile (60?). Other aspects of less importance are recognized by some. Understandably these aspects are more significant when they are exact, but they are considered to function within an orb of influence. The size of that orb will vary according to the importance of the particular aspect. Thus conjunctions are believed to operate over a larger orb than sextiles. Usually modern astrologers use an orb of 10? or less.

Longitude is also necessary for determining the position of the ascendant. This is because charts use Local Time. Time zones were developed in the 19th century as a by-product of the development of railways. This permitted train schedules to be written based on the certainty that any two cities in a time zone had the same time. In reality there is an hour of difference between points at the beginning and end of a 15? average time zone. For political reasons the time zones cannot be identical bands. It would not be appropriate for a time zone boundary to cut through the middle of a city. Time zone boundaries were also the subject of political manipulation in the Pacific islands when they sought to be the first places on earth to see the new millennium. Adjustments are therefore made for the difference in one's actual longitude and the longitude of the nominal meridian associated with clock time.
