Ascendant in Gemini

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Drew 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 Gemini

You have an adaptable, quick and practical nature. You are changeable, diverse character and capable of fast thinking and making decisions. In life, you are often involved in several things at once.

You have a restless spirit and, although you are very communicative and energetic, your thoughts often wander into another world and you become completely detached from your environment. And it is no wonder that you quickly lose concentration, that is why you may be slapdash and inconsistent.

Quick and persuasive rhetorical skills

Your gift of speech is very developed, you are persuasive and cunning. Writing, foreign languages and, of course, commerce are definitely areas in which you are very good at. Because you avoid serious and responsible situations, you don't always become a mature adult and sometimes act a bit childish.

You talk a lot and are always on the lookout for social contacts, but they are more or less only casual acquaintances, because you direct your energy somewhere else too quickly to be grasped and caught.

You are a skillful, curious person and know how to avoid many obstacles. You are talkative and fun, but you have difficulty putting your emotions to words and actions, so they often explode out of you at the wrong time (usually too late).
