Is there a way (I think it's called rectification) that I can find out for sure? Where do I go? What can I read? Is there anyone here that can do it for me?
I have a few important dates in my life that could help I think.

I tried that site and it gave me my asc. as Scorpio, but I forgot about daylight savings, and then it went to Libra again. I don't know which it is. I mean, I'm hardly a Libra social butterfly, I don't go to parties, I don't have gobs of people around me (and I wouldn't want to), and I don't believe that I have any social charm whatsoever!

I think I'm going to have to consult a professional!

Maybe I'm overlooking the Libran traits I have. I am quite bookish, overtly fair, and I do like to play Devil's advocate. Maybe there are other things in my chart that would be considered Scorpio like, but actually belong to another signs characteristics. (Listen to me now....trying to make up my mind, just like a Libra!! Maybe I know my answer after all!!)

Well, if anyone wants to practice rectification, I'm willing to lend my info. Otherwise, I think I should stick with Libra, and keep my triple Venusian influence (I have Venus in Taurus also).

Maybe you're putting too much importance onto your ascendant. Don't forget the ascendant is "the mask we wear" when we first meet people. It's the "part we play" when we first enter a room full of people we don't know very well.
Imagine an actor on stage playing a role. That's "very basically" what your ascendant does.

The Ascendant is the doorway into a person, a good analogy being how a person behaves when they walk into a room full of strangers at a party. If the Ascendant is Scorpio but the Sun sign is Leo, that person will probably walk slowly around the room checking everyone out before alighting on the most attractive, amusing, rich, talented etc. person they can find and launching into their funniest joke. The Scorpio side needs to evaluate before being personally expressive. It's a harmony of both qualities.
