The Ascendant and the first house symbolize an individual’s raison d‘etre, the reason we connect to for living. This house contains the leitmotif of a life’s journey. If the content of the Ascendant sign isn‘t expressed or in sharp focus in our daily life, we may not fully actualize our potential. (Or maybe it’s just that our birth time is wrong! 🙂 )
In contrast, the 12th house symbolizes hidden realities. Things can be hidden from view either because we do not know about them or have awareness about them ourselves, or because we do not want anyone to know about them.
Planets in these houses in addition to their cusp rulers can give us extraordinary insights into the deeper truth behind our purpose and the meaning we can find in this incarnation.
