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.

In order to understand and visualize the spherical geometry of how a horoscope is constructed, we need to begin with some basic terms.

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.
