This special report analyses the effects of Leo Ascendant. This is a topic that a lot of people get confused about so in this special report I will explain exactly what Leo Ascendant means and how it will affect you in the coming months.
The term Leo ascendant and rising sign are used interchangeably and directly refer to the zodiac sign located on the Eastern horizon when a person was born. The ascendants shift in two hour intervals where each sign of the Zodiac are being represented on one 24-hour day. This means that a person usually enters his ascendant for two-hours in a day. The ascendant will embody an individual’s in physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects.
Essentially, an ascendant Leo is the mask which one wears when initially meeting other people. It is through our ascendants that acquaintances understand us. Instead of looking through one’s true personalities, we see their ascendants instead.
The sun sign of course is our core traits and characteristics and they eventually exude once we let ourselves open to other people and become a part of their lives, as much as they are to ours.
Think of an ascendant as your autopilot– the immediate reactions and set of behaviors that you exhibit when interacting and communicating with new individuals as you walk through life. Our rising sun features the defense mechanisms we have in coping with new issues and situations as well.
It is how we adapt to foreign matters that we experience from day in and day out. Our ascendant is more apparent to others, and is most commonly overseen by ourselves. And this is why we simply need to let ourselves grow on others before we cast our true impression of them.
Our characters are typically modified by planets that influence our respective ascendants. Planets that bear the ascendant and its location as well as the position of the ruling planet of the sign on the ascendant also influence how an individual behaves overall.
One must also remember that the environment, lifestyle, and historical background determine the intensity of the characteristics from the rising sun.
It’s very easy to identify one’s ascendant. Astrologers believe that by exactly knowing when and what time you were delivered will pinpoint your very own rising sun.
Even the location helps in assisting astrologers of identifying the rising sign to the exact degree.
With the number of zodiacs and ruling planets as key factors in the determination of an individual’s rising sun, there are exactly 144 ascendant combinations in all.
This means that for an individual born under the Zodiac sign, Leo, he has 12 possible ascendants. As mentioned, by knowing the exact time and place of birth, one can definitely identify as to what rising sun they possess.

During initial meetings, you are subtly mistrusting and stubborn, but all these will soon disappear once you find people who you trust.
