Ascendant is the most important element of Astronomy and Astrology. Ascendant is the fundamental factor or seed of Astrology. This is the base on which the entire mansion of Astrology or the vast banyan tree stands. The calculative portion of Astrology can be solved by computer to a great extent, but the predictive portion is out of question. Astrology without prediction is just like a flower without fragrance. Many a time learned Astrologers and professional fortune-tellers are hesitant in giving correct predictions. The present book is intended to combat this challenge, by presenting facts and figures Ascendant-wise in separate books so that a clear and concise avenue may be opened for those who are aspiring to know what is there in store for them in the celestial world. With the help of this book people can know their future and they can foretell the future of their near and dear ones. It is our humble endeavour to bestow the common people with knowledge of Astrological prediction. Twelve (12) Ascendants arise in the sky during the course of a day and night. An Ascendant exists for roughly two (2) hours. It is the first step towards giving the prediction on the basis of Ascendant itself. It is hoped that it will be appreciated in the world of Astrology.

Use the wisdom of the moon to make your life easier and to explore how you are connected with the breath of the world and the cycles of the stars. How we respond to the Moon’s powerful influence is key to how we live our lives. The Moon sets the tone of the day and when we can register the Moon’s sign, we know what to expect and how to operate at our maximum level. Understanding these signs and cycles allows us to gain a greater understanding of ourselves and those around us; it gives a beneficial tool that can be used to grant ourselves deeper knowledge of a friend, partner, or boss, and how to get along smoothly with them. Be Your Own Moon Astrologer explores the meaning and usefulness of the Moon each calendar day, how to make the most of our time, the Moon’s relationship with other planets in our solar system, and how to use those important aspect-relationships to fine tune our planning. When all of these elements work together, we can take charge of our lives in a positive, healthy, and proactive way.
