Do you know the fact as to why the people who are born under Leo are so unassuming and self-abnegating? Do you think that is Leo a flamboyant sign? Ok forget it, let us talk about Capricorn. Are Capricorns too shy and introvert? How is it possible that my Pisces friend has a Gemini Ascendant.

What exactly are these ascendant signs?

• It is nothing but a mask one wears when meeting others. It is also known as the rising sign of a person as well.

• Perhaps an ascendant sign deals in the most apt way with the thoughts as the automatic responses to one's environment.

• It reflects as to how a person is able to show his or her natural defenses and how he comes across and handles the day-to-day issues. The energies of the sign and condition of the Ascendant are most overt and obvious to others.

• The Ascendant deals with the first meeting of a person with a so called stranger or with the person that he or she hardly knows, his natural reaction to new people and situations.

• These natural reactions are followed by the general interpretations of the sign position of the Ascendant.

• You must remember the fact that these characteristics does not remain stable at all the time. These aspects are modified by planets conjunct the Ascendant, planets that aspect the Ascendant. Just in the same way, the some of our traits are dependent on the movement of planets similarly the above mentioned features (how we react on first meeting) depends on the position of the ruling planet of the sign on the Ascendant.

• Let me explain all these things with an example:

If you have an Aries Ascendant and you have a ruling planet in the form of Mars, and that too in Sagittarius... the how will you react? I will tell you: you will respond to the environment a little differently than another person, who also is geared up with an Aries Ascendant, but whose Mars is in Scorpio.
