What is my descendant sign?
🌠 To locate your descendant, you must first know or calculate your ascendant or rising sign. Once you know your ascendant, it's simple, the descendant is at the other end of a line drawn from the ascendant's arrow. Its position, in degrees in a sign, is calculated automatically, once you have calculated the ascendant. For example, in the above natal chart, the ascendant is at 2 degrees in Sagittarius, so the descendant is necessarily at 2 degrees in the sign Gemini. If you have your natal chart, find your ascendant and descendant by their symbol:
- Ascendant 🡨 AC
- Descendant -< DS
In fact, the descendant is, therefore, necessarily in the sign opposite the sign of the Ascendant, so:
- Ascendant Aries = Descendant in Libra
- Ascendant Taurus = Descendant in Scorpio
- Ascendant Gemini = Descendant in Sagittarius
- Ascendant Cancer = Descendant in Capricorn
- Leo Ascendant = Descendant in Aquarius
- Virgo Ascendant = Descendant in Pisces
- Libra Ascendant = Descendant in Aries
- Scorpio Ascendant = Descendant in Taurus
- Sagittarius Ascendant = Descendant in Gemini
- Capricorn Ascendant = Descendant in Cancer
- Aquarius Ascendant = Descendant in Leo
- Pisces Ascendant = Descendant in Virgo
The influence of a descendant sign
As we have seen, the descendant gives us indications on our relationships. Knowing it can help us to have more fulfilling relationships, since the descendant reveals what we need and what we avoid. This is especially true for our romantic relationships or if you are looking for love, but not only, the descendant can be a precious help to know what kind of partner and relationship can make us happy. Learning to identify our strengths and weaknesses often allows us to have much healthier and emotionally fulfilling relationships.

What is the difference between ascendant and descendant?
The terms "ascendant" and "descendant" are often used in astrology to refer to the position of a celestial body, such as a planet or star, relative to the horizon. An "ascendant" refers to the zodiac sign that was rising on the eastern horizon at the time of a person's birth. It is also called the "rising sign." 🌠 The ascendant is an important factor in a person's astrological chart, as it is believed to influence the person's outward appearance, demeanor, and approach to life.
On the other hand, a "descendant" refers to the zodiac sign that was setting on the western horizon at the time of a person's birth. The descendant is less frequently used in astrology, but it is still an important factor in a person's astrological chart, as it is believed to influence the person's relationships and the kind of partner they are attracted to. In summary, while both terms refer to the position of celestial bodies relative to the horizon, the ascendant is the rising sign at the time of birth, while the descendant is the setting sign at the time of birth.
