Ascendant
Opposition Descendant
The Ascendant and Descendant are not a chance aspect — they are the two ends of one axis, always exactly opposite. The Ascendant is your "I": how you show up, how you begin. The Descendant is your "you": the qualities you look for in partners (and sometimes only meet through them). Together they describe how you move between asserting yourself and meeting others — the core relationship tension in your chart.
This aspect involves an angle — we need your date, time and birthplace.
