There are different Ascendants in every horoscope respectively according to the twelve zodiacs and 12 Ascendant Kundali (birth charts) are built. For example, if zodiac of Aries birth chart is prepared, then person’s birth time is to be taken from the daily almanac (dainik panchang) from which that time, birth year and month is considered to find the Ascendant in birth chart. In the same way, every day from the sun rise to next sun rise of zodiac’s rotation will be there and with whose combination of planets, any person’ s Ascendant of birth would be determined.
