ascendent ⇡
your ascendent or rising sign is the zodiac sign that was on the eastern horizon at the time of your birth. this represents the initial impressions we give off to others and/or the purposeful ways we’ve learned to mediate our true selves to feel comfortable in new or vulnerable situations.
in freudian psychology, the super ego is 1-of-3 components of our internal consciousness. this part of ourselves is responsible for holding us accountable to our own moral standards and that of society, aka ensuring we paint ourselves in the best possible light to our fellow man.
“being yourself” doesn’t look the same in all situations. consider the traits of your ascendent sign and how these parts of you help or hinder your navigation of society. you’re multi-faceted like a quartz crystal, babe. get to know every side of you and you can always shine a light on your best side.
