text: In almost all cases the SUN sign is more important . . . no life on our Planet Earth without the Sun!\n\nAs the creating Yang force the Sun gives us our vitality, designates each individual character and shapes ones position in society. It is the center, the heart!\n\nThe Ascendant is the point on the eastern horizon at the time of birth and connects life on Earth to Cosmic Consciousness -- it is known as the *gate to the outer world* or *the path in life.* One can also call it the *assistant* instead of Ascendant (It assists the Sun).\n\nOnly in strong double sign combinations with the Sun in the 12th House is (can be) the Ascendant *stronger* than the Sun!\n\nAnything more is a professional consultation.
