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 equator is defined by the earth's equator. 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 plane of the horizon is centred on the native, and is tangential to the earth at that point. In a sphere whose radius is indefinitely large this plane may be treated as nearly equivalent to the parallel plane with its centre at the earth's center. This greatly simplifies understanding the geometry of the horoscope. Some writers on astrology have considered the effects of parallax, but most would agree that they are relatively minor; they are clearly beyond the scope of this article. The axis of the plane of the horizon has end points above, the zenith, and below, the nadir.

The sun sign is the sign of the zodiac in which the sun is located for the native. This is the single astrological fact that is familiar to almost everyone. As a very rough rule of thumb, if an event takes place at 6:00 a.m. its ascendant and sun sign will be the same; other rising signs can then be estimated at two hour intervals from there.
