The time of birth is often reported in the baptismal certificate, in a mother-child passport, or in the birth certificate. But if, for example, you can no longer ask your mother or she does not remember, then you have a problem. If an astrologer cannot find out the time, then he usually assumes the time for the horoscope creation to be noon. This fact does not help with the calculation because it changes every two hours. If you have no other option, click through all 12 and see if one fits particularly well or which ones are shortlisted. (A friend should also check the self-assessment; maybe he has an entirely different view.)
The location is just as important as time. However, it is not so important whether you know exactly where you were born. A few kilometers up or down don’t change the result significantly. (Unless you were born exactly on the border of a time zone, then you need to know it exactly).
The "houses," also called "fields," divide the horoscope into twelve sections. A Zodiac sign can be assigned to each house. In astrology, the relationship between the heavenly bodies symbolize character predispositions. The houses refer to the view from the earth.
By rotating the earth, once in 24 hours, we obtain different projection images of the Zodiac signs at different times. The "houses capture this projection of the Signs of the Zodiac on earth." Accordingly, the top of the first house is the starting point, the ascendant. The ascendant sign can be any of the Twelve Zodiac signs - depending on the time and place of birth.
The ascendant is the sign that rises in the East at the time of birth.

The ascendant (abbreviation AC) is the Zodiac sign that appears on the Eastern horizon at a person's birth, more precisely: the intersection of the Eastern Horizon with the Ecliptic. Due to the movement of the Earth's axis, this Sign changes approximately every two hours. The entire zodiac is traversed within 24 hours. Therefore, not only the exact place of birth but also the time of birth is required to calculate the personal ascendant. The term can derive from the Latin word "ascendere." That means "to ascend."
The ascendant is, therefore, an essential point in the individual horoscope interpretation. Especially in connection with the Sun sign, new statements can be made about each person.
While the Sun sign describes the ego, thought, and personality, the ascendant stands for the reaction of people to their environment and others. The ascendant tells us something about how a person affects our environment on the one hand and how we are perceived and seen by other people on the other.
The ascendant symbolizes what skills and potential are in people and how they respond to the external inputs and deal with certain situations based on these properties.
The descendant (abbreviation DC) lies on the horizontal axis, precisely opposite the ascendant. It is the Zodiac Sign that disappears on the Western Horizon at the time of a person's (the intersection of the Western horizon with the ecliptic). The word descendant also has its origin in the Latin language. It comes from the Latin term "descendere," which means "to descend" in English.
In contrast to the ascendant, which describes our dispositions and shows how we react intuitively to situations, the descendant instead describes what persons do not have, what they lack. It shows how people must deal with everyday things that overwhelm them due to their disposition in the ascendant. The descendant symbolizes what people still must learn or how their potential can be better used.
The descendant stands for the outside and the influences that affect and challenge people. It can also become a projection surface for things that the individual does not live out or would like to live out. It is described as you point in the horoscope.
It is particularly interesting to look at the descendant within a partner horoscope. It shows how you perceive your counterpart and what you still must learn about a happy partnership.
