Introduction
In this article we will expose, through the analysis of a definition and its subsequent application in a practical example, how esoteric astrology interprets the meaning of "the Ascending Sign".
The esoteric aspect of an interpretation deals with the inner meaning that forms, just as the exoteric aspect deals with the external activities of these forms. Therefore the esoteric astrology makes reference to the subjective aspect of the signs and the exoteric to the objective aspect. The two astrologists are complementary, as are the Soul with the Personality.
The Ascendant
The ascendant is the sign that appears by the Orient just at birth, the cardinal point through which, according to ancient traditions, comes to us Wisdom. The nascent sign of the birth chart is the energy that rules the entire chart, because it is thanks to him that a horoscope can be drawn in its fullness.
Esoteric meaning of the Rising Sing
The Ascendant also called rising sing- “Indicates the future life and the immediate purpose of the soul for this incarnation. It keeps the secret of the future and presents the force that, properly used, will lead man to success. It represents the Sattva Guna the goodness, the harmonic aspect of life, and can produce right relationships between the soul and the personality in a given incarnation, thus pointing the way to recognizing the strength of the soul”.
Alice Bailey (Esoteric Astrology)
