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.

The plane of the ecliptic is defined by the orbit of the earth and the sun. For all practical purposes the plane of the equator and the plane of the ecliptic maintain a constant inclination relative to each other of approximately 23.5°.

The zodiac refers to a band on the celestial sphere containing the signs. It is centered on the plane of the ecliptic, and its width is sufficient to allow for the fact that the plane of the orbits of the moon and all other planets is not parallel to the plane of the ecliptic. It has a width of approximately 18?.
