"The Ascendant (or rising sign) is often considered the mask one wears when meeting others. Perhaps it is most aptly thought of as the automatic responses to one’s environment. The Ascendant shows our natural defenses and how we cope with day-to-day issues. The energies of the sign and condition of the Ascendant are most overt and obvious to others. The Ascendant shows an individual’s first, natural reaction to new people and situations."

I made an Ascendant Chart. Personally, I think it’s most helpful to people who don’t know the exact time of their birth? So, like, people who debate between “Oh, was I born at around 10PM or 11PM?” I think this might help. I mean, a lot of people seem to think the Ascendant Sign is narrowed down to a specific hour, or half hour— and it’s not. So, I hope this provides some clarification?
If you’re a little unsure how to read it— here’s an example. I’m a Pisces, born at 12:32PM. So, looking at the 12PM-2PM, I go over to the Pisces Column, and see that it leads me to Cancer. And, indeed, my ascendant is Cancer!
edit: This chart isn’t completely accurate! Silly me, I only went through and double-checked Aries to see if the times lined up accurately. Use it if you’d like, but keep in mind that it’s very possible that it might be off. I still think it might be beneficial to people who don’t know the exact hour of their birth? I mean, if you are able to say, “Hey, my ascendant might be a Libra, Virgo, or Leo,” it’s certainly more information than you knew before? (That is, assuming you had no clue because online calculators require an exact time)
