What is Capricorn Rising? (Ascendant)

Capricorn Rising
Some of you might be already aware of what an ascendant is on your natal chart, to some of you this
might be new.
So, let me explain this in a very brief way. When you were born, everything that was happening in the
solar system influences you as a person. Most people are only familiar with their zodiac sign (the solar
sign) but aren’t aware that there’s more than just that.
That’s why some people lose their belief in Astrology because they don’t identify much with their solar
sign, and since they aren’t aware that the other planets and placements are important as well, they
become a skeptic.
So, for example, you might be a Virgo but emotionally you don’t identify yourself to Virgo, or you’re not
as organized as a Virgo.
This is just an example. That’s because when you were born there were more signs and planets than just
the solar sign and it’s possible to know all through your natal chart, which is what I like to describe as a
print screen of the sky that was taken at the exact moment you were born.
We call the Rising sign or the ascendant – the sign that was transiting through the horizon (where the
sun rises) at the exact moment you were born.
This is the sign that will be your first “mask” it will represent your physical body. It’s how you are seen in
the world.
Capricorn Rising
You have this serious look to you, very professional and are usually very petite. You don’t show your
week side to anyone and you aren’t easy to read.
You fear failure and you are very disciplined. You are a very hard worker and don’t let anyone get in your
way of achieving your goals.
Although you look very strong and confident you sometimes have a lack of self-confidence and you have
a hard time having fun because you value discipline and work.
