ASCENDANT

, in Astrology, denotes the horoscope; or the degree of the ecliptic which rises upon the horizon, at the time of the birth of any one.—This, it is supposed, has an influence on the person's life and fortune, by giving him a bent and propensity to one thing more than other.—In the science of Astrology, this is called the sirst house, the Oriental angle, or angle of the East, and the significator of life: and the astrologer says, such a planet ruled in his Ascendant, or Jupiter was in his Ascendant, &c.
