The ascendant is the starting point and so the first house in the birth chart will fall in the ascendant and the rest of the houses and zodiac signs will be arranged thereafter in the anti-clockwise direction. I hope by now you are able to read which sign is your rising sign/ascendant. If in your case the number is '1' then the ascendant is Aries, if it is '2' then is Taurus, '3' is Gemini, '4' is Cancer, '5' is Leo, '6' is Virgo, '8' is Scorpio, '9' is Sagittarius, '10' is Capricorn, '11' is Aquarius, '12' is Pisces. That sign for this person is the ascendant. Do you see the number “7” in the above chart? That is the 7th zodiac sign, which is Libra.
