Baughan’s historical astrology
The ascendant in Baughan’s astrology
Baughan explains that any point rising on the zodiac has its opposite point setting. The daily rotation of the Earth provides the recurring movement described in this account. She distinguishes the descriptions of a rising sign from the modifications supplied by planets in or near the ascendant. The book’s readings therefore depend on a configuration, not on one sign alone.
