Ascendant sign leaves astrology open to ridicule?

Post by zaphodb »

Ask yourself this - if Libra occupied 50 degrees of the zodiac circle whilst Aries spanned only 15 degrees would you ever use such a zodiac? Probably not, yet astrologers unquestioningly adopt the concept of the rising sign or ascendant when in London, for example, Libra takes 3.3 times longer to rise than Aries which means statistically for every 3 people born with Aries rising there are 10 with Libra rising. As you go further north the ratio increases. Our emphasis on the ascendant leaves astrology open to ridicule, not from unbelievers but from anyone with a clear-thinking mind.
