Ascendant

From Astrology In Depth

The Ascendant, general life focus and direction, it is the point where the entire house system begins, and therefore has symbolic significance for its entirety. It is the point where the zodiac meets the eastern horizon, where all planets seem to emerge as they rise up in the sky.

The ascendant is considered a personal point, describing more of a focus rather than personal qualities.
