Meaning

Ascendens participates in both the explanation of natal signs and the argument that planetary affiliation can change. The source distinguishes upper astral signs from inner stars moved through imagination, and says a child of Saturn can become a child of the Sun. It therefore should not be reduced to an unchangeable modern shorthand for a birth horoscope.
