You must have heard about the astrological ascendant many times by now. Do you know what it is? Well, it is that something which differentiates us people. It shows us which our real face is and it helps us camouflage when we come into contact with other people. It helps us realize how to react naturally to certain urges. Also, it must be seriously taken into account because, besides the sign, it represents us. Its importance begins to be shown at the age of 25-30 years old, since it is present in the sign until that age. All of us should know our ascendant because it helps us find the answers to some essential questions and at the same time it helps us know ourselves better. It can be calculated for any of us: the time and place of birth is extremely important.
