Rising sign: How to calculate my ascendant
You are %sign% ascendant
The ascendant sign can be found in the first astrological house and is indicated by the intersection of the ecliptic. To calculate your ascendant, you need to know where you were born, as well as the date and the time of your birth.
You can either use an online calculator or the Table of Houses to calculate the angles of the ecliptic at the time you were born, along with the geographical latitude of your place of birth. Once you have all of the necessary information, you have exactly what you need to calculate your ascendant sign and learn more about yourself.
If your sun sign reveals your inner personality, the ascendant represents our instinctive personalities, our appearance, as well as the impression we give to others and the way they perceive us.

I am fascinated with Astrology myself. I have really never took the time to learn about my ascendant or descendant though. I want to thank you for providing this information. I really would never have thought to have Sag as my ascendant. Mind blowing.
