Welcome back to the series of Ascendants. Today we gonna be discussing the Taurus rising and its details. Taurus is ruled by the planet Venus. It is a fixed zodiac sign and one of the Earth Elemental zodiacs along with Virgo and Capricorn.
Heya Everyone!
In my last blog, I mentioned the ascendant and how it is significant in determining our essential personality traits and how we approach our surroundings.
Today we are going to know about the first sign in the zodiacal belt i.e. Aries rising or Aries ascendant. Aries is ruled by the planet Mars and is a cardinal sign. It is one of the Fire Elemental signs along with Leo and Sagittarius. So let's discuss everything about it. Just stay glued...
Hope you all are in the best of health and in high spirits. Today's post is all about your Ascendant i.e. The Rising star.
It gives me immense happiness to observe that this topic has not only gathered people's interest but also invoke in them the curiosity and eagerness to know more about it when it comes to comparing it with other dimensions of astrology such as Sun signs, moon signs, etc. Such that people are going beyond the superfluous zodiac signs and are keen to explore varied strata of astrology.
As I have already discussed in my previous blogs about different houses in Vedic Astrology in which I have mentioned about 12 houses in the natal chart and their respective significance. These 12 houses are considered a record of our entire life which I have already mentioned in my previous blogs. Out of these 12 houses, the house which holds the highest significance in one's life is the first house which is known as the Ascendant, the Rising sign or star, the Lagna. It represents the physical attributes of the person, overall physique, health, early life, childhood, character, complexion, vices, virtues, willpower, age, nature, basic inclination and approach towards different aspects of life, strengths, weaknesses, likes, and dislikes.
At the time of our birth, the sign which rises at the easternmost horizon in that place is what is considered the Ascendant or the rising sign for the native. It is the astrological degree of the sign that ascends on the eastern horizon at a specific time and location of birth. Therefore the exact time and place of birth of the native are of utmost importance when calculating the ascendant and other planetary considerations of the concerned person. The Ascendant takes almost two and a half hours to move to the subsequent sign, hence it shows the specific personality trait which is specific to the person in the specific ascendant in a given social setting.
Now as discussed in the previous blogs the sign in which the sun sits in the natal chart is considered our Vedic Sun sign. And same goes for the Moon sign as well (we will be discussing it in future blogs). While this phenomenon can happen in any house out of the 12 houses of a natal chart. But when we talk about the Ascendant, it is the constant that always occupies the first house. The Ascendant never shifts to subsequent houses, it always remains the first house occupant.
The Ascendant, as well as the Ascendant Lord (planet ruling the sign), are considered important areas of analysis for the astrologers as it unfolds many key features of the natal chart and about the person in specific. It is an outer shield or mask of the person that is perceived by the world. It is the first impression one leaves on others. It is the amalgamation of both the inner and outer self of the person where one naturally and innately exhibits certain traits that become the personality of the person for the world to know and perceive. It is the spontaneous reaction we exhibit in a given situation. It is our outward style and approach towards different events and situations. This is how we deal in our day-to-day affairs.

In this image, as can be appreciated, the first house i.e. the center topmost house has no. #2 sign. Now as we all know that no. #2 stands for Taurus zodiac sign in astrology. This means that the Ascendant for this natal chart is Taurus and the ascendant lord is Venus( planetary lordship has already been discussed in the previous post). Consequently, the person appears to have a pleasing face, is affectionate, resourceful, self-indulgent, stubborn, and loves spending time in luxurious, serene, and beautiful surroundings.
Likewise, every ascendant has its own traits and certain characteristics which make each one different and unique in its own sense. ( we shall be discussing each ascendant in future blogs ).
So guys that is it for today's post.
Take Care.
Live, Love, Laugh!!
Hey guys! Hope you all are in good health and spirits.
Today's post is one of the most basic yet very important. BASIC because we will be talking about Sun signs which many of you are already aware of while IMPORTANT because this is not going to be what you actually know about your Sun sign.
Very often we excitingly jump on to Astro sections of newspapers and horoscope articles in a magazine or social sites to know about our daily, weekly, and monthly horoscopes. But there are also many times that you end up realizing that the stuff mentioned about your sun or zodiac signs is not what you actually are and doesn't gel with your personality traits, approach towards life, and the way you deal with day to day situations. And then comes the situation where person either stops believing in sun signs or rather convince oneself to believe in it psychologically that "it has to be true as this is my sun sign". So why comes this difference in what you actually are and what your "existing sun sign" is telling you?
This is solely because you guys are referring to your WESTERN SUN SIGN and not the VEDIC SUN SIGN. Yes, the sun signs or zodiacal signs we talk about in general are all basically WESTERN SUN SIGNS or the Sun Signs based on Western Astrology. While the Sun signs that are based on Vedic Astrology are known as VEDIC SUN SIGNS which many of you are unaware of and that's what makes the entire difference in one's understanding and clarity of sun signs in general.
So let us briefly understand what these two concepts of Sun Signs are in general. Here, I am not going to jot down the entire differences between the Vedic and Western Astrology (for that kindly refer : https://www.thehailphoenix.com/2019/07/difference-between-vedic-and-western.html) but to make you guys understand that what is the actual difference between the type of Sun Signs mentioned above.
The Earth changes its tilt around the axis and kind of wobbles in its movement. Hence, there is a precession of the equinoxes which causes the actual position of stars to appear as if moving backwards over a period of time. Due to this particular phenomenon, the constellations have changed their position from the original one over the period of time. Hence, the Sun enters the first sign of the Zodiacal belt i.e. the Aries a little earlier than the fixed reference point i.e. the Vulnar Equinox used in Western Astrology (mentioned above in the blog). Therefore, currently there is a difference of 23 degrees between both the systems of Astrology (Vedic sun signs are currently 23 degrees behind the Western sun signs). Thus, you need to subtract 23 degrees from the planetary degree of the Sun in the Western Natal chart to actually derive to your Vedic Sun Sign.
