A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Chris as “you”.

Ascendant (shortened ASC) is basically the axis of the 1st house and is one of the three most important points of personal horoscope. It represents the most eastern point at the moment of our birth and the sign in which it appears is called »the rising sign«. If somebody, for example, is born exactly at sunrise, it means that the Sun and the Ascendant are in the same sign.

Ascendant is a very accurate point of personal horoscope and its position strongly influences all other elements of the horoscope. It is accurate, because it stays in one sign only for about two hours and makes the entire circle through the zodiac in one day. Therefore, even twins, despite born in short time intervals, can have different Ascendant position.

Ascendant represents your looks, your personality, presence, beginnings of your achievements, your individuality and way of expression – the way you dress, talk, walk, etc. It indicates the way you let or want others to see and perceive you. It also indicates your birth, it represents your body, health, in what way you start acting and tackle challenges, what your basic outlook and approach to life is. It shows your basic essence. It is similar to the Sun, but the Ascendant represents your karmic mission, the cohesive thread, the test you need to solve in this life.

1st house in Sagittarius

Key word for you is freedom – of thought, speech and action. Especially in your youth, your restless spirit must have been hard to tame.

You have an intuitive nature and are a big idealist who doesn't stand for narrow cultural limitations; you love sharing your knowledge in all areas. You are always on the road, you often travel to foreign countries or have something to do with them. In every of period of your life you are attracted to diverse studies and spiritual progress, because your spirit is as curious as your mind is clever and fast.

Restless, brave adventurer

You are a restless person, generous, friendly towards everybody, talkative and open to every new idea. Your laughter and enthusiasm are contagious, in company everybody notices you. But you also get upset easily. You get especially provoked when people make jokes on your account, although you are the person who is first at teasing others. In any case, you direct too much of your energy to unimportant trivialities which, who knows why, so easily throw you off balance. The Ascendant in Sagittarius gives you courage and determination which enable you to actually fulfill a lot of your plans.

You have vital, athletic looks and figure, because you spend a lot of your time developing your body and mind – whether it be in sports, recreation, meditation, healthy nutrition...

Saturn in 1st house

You are a serious, reserved, reliable and responsible person. You are methodical, organized, systematic and orderly. You often have a reserved nature and this is often connected to earliest childhood. It is also possible that you were born in great pain (yours and/or your mother's) or hade some sort of (medical or similar) problems at birth or later in the most sensitive months (and/or years) of life. In your youth, you often appear and look older or more mature than you actually are; with years you somewhat soften your restraints and even gain charm and personal attraction.

Uranus in 1st house

You are a special and independent person with distinct personal style. You are individualistic and special, you are often eccentric or different even at first sight. You play by different (your own) rules, you love novelties and you often also introduce them. Although you play by your own rules and are often moody, you radiate some sort of attraction, because of which many people follow you.

Neptune in 1st house

You are a gentle and etheric person, sensitive, with vivid imagination and extremely strongly developed intuition. You have an enormous influence on others, although you don't act impetuously or don't at first glance appear to have such a power. You are attractive and have a pleasant and a somewhat liquid (not watery) appearance. You probably have very beautiful eyes (often of hazelnut or green color) and also a completely special look – perhaps mysterious, magnetic, etc. You are probably successful in acting, music, art, fashion, etc. and also spirituality. You often suffer from allergies (because of your extreme sensitivity) or diseases or illnesses whose origin is very hard to determine.
