The ascendent is the place on the eastern horizon that is cresting into daylight at the moment of birth. The place where heaven and earth meet, it is our Soul Point, the place of our highest point of spiritual aspiration. The Ascendent is arguably the most important point in the natal chart when considering it from the spiritual perspective. When on the spiritual path, the ascendent’s spiritual planetary ruler, rules the entire chart. The energy of this ruling planet is the most valuable tool in your spiritual toolbox for your spiritual evolution. Living our Soul-life, brings us joy and fulfillment. Your Ascendent points you to who you are on that deepest level.
