* Aspects to the Ascendant :-
Aspects to the Ascendant by any planet are invariably of great importance. since they color one's entire approach to and outlook on life.‘ It is very important. however, to consider the likely accuracy of the birth time before making any judgment about such an aspect. A change of approximately four minutes in the birth time can result in the Ascendant (and all the house cusps) being altered by one degree. Therefore. what may seem like a close aspect to the Ascendant may become more than 7° off from exact if the birth time is one-half hour in error.
However, since the impact of a planet being in close aspect to the Ascendant does result in that planet's qualities blending thoroughly with the expression of the Rising Sign’s energy. one can use these aspects with the Ascendant as quite reliable indicators of how accurate the birth time is. For example. if a chart based on a specific birth time has any planet closely conjunct the Ascendant, but that planet’s energy is not particularly in evidence in the personality, there is a strong likelihood that the birth time (or the standard time or daylight time or time zone used in calculating the chart) is wrong.
