In astrology, there are two slightly different senses in which the term '''ascendant''' is used. The ascendant is the exact point at which the [[ecliptic]] crosses the local horizon in the East. It is where the [[planet]]s and [[sign]]s rise. The entire sign in which the ascendant falls is also referred to as the native's ascendant.
