But no, the Ascendant is not the same as the IC. Ascendant means the point where the ecliptic (Sun's path) meets the eastern horizon. You will only find it by looking at the eastern horizon wherever the Sun rises on that given day. In your chart it represents you, the personality the embodied human.

The IC is Latin for Imum Coeli, literally 'the lowest heaven', or undersky (as opposed to MC Medium Coeli or 'middle heaven.' In your chart, IC is your most private life/family connections/roots, the MC, your most public life/goals/aspirations in the world.

Yes theres a huge difference between the two.

Our ASC reveals our circumstances in life and where they come from (DC)

ChildofVenus - since it is obvious you got this chart at astro.com it also seems obvious that you entered a time, perhaps noon for him. Don't do that. You're creating your own confusion. Enter 'time unknown' before you cast anyone's chart. That way it will not calculate points like Asc, MC, IC, etc.

I suggest you get to know your chart. While you may still have some learning to do about what it means, at least you'll be working with your birth time, and your personal questions about you and your life.

The Asc (ascendant) is the individual being born. The Asc Sign / Rising Sign is the zodiac sign on the eastern horizon at the moment that person is being born.
