sign calculator

The Descendant sits exactly opposite the Ascendant — it describes what you look for in others: the qualities that draw you in partnerships and close relationships (and that you sometimes only meet through the other person). It depends on the exact time and place of your birth.

For the MC we need your date, time and place.
