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.

Most astrologers use the tropical zodiac in which the astrological year begins with the vernal equinox when the sun moves into the earth's northern hemisphere. This point is set at 0? of the sign Aries. This is a matter of some dispute with those who would favor the sidereal zodiac that takes into account the precession of the equinoxes. Because of a "wobble" in the earth's axis of rotation over a period of about 26000 years the point at which the vernal equinox advances in the sky by about 50 seconds of arc every year. Advocates of a sidereal zodiac believe that the position of the signs should be fixed relative to the constellations.

The medium coeli, or mid-heaven, is that point on the ecliptic that is furthest above the plane of the horizon; its opposite point is known as the imum coeli. For events occurring where the planes of the eccliptic and the horizon co-incide the limiting position for these points is at 90? from the ascendant.
