FAQs
The linear path that the Sun describes across the sky is called the ecliptic. The constellations on that path are collectively called the zodiac and extend a few degrees above and below the ecliptic line. The ecliptic is a line where the plane described by the Earth's orbit around the Sun crosses the celestial sphere.
The ascendent sign constellation correspond to the position on the sky in which the ecliptic intercepts the horizon on the east at the local time and place of birth. At this point, there is a zodiac sign on the sky which is just rising from the horizon.
