The Ascendant Your Karmic Doorway by Martin Schulman The Zodiac Sign coming up over the horizon at sunrise, often called the Rising Sign, holds within it, the natal birth potential for the forthcoming day. Since it ascends into light,- we aptly refer to it as The Ascendant, but, how much influence does it exert over the rest of our horoscope?

        Martin Schulman sees it as a Karmic Doorway, acting as a filter between all the past life memory potential within the reincarnated soul,- symbolized by the current life natal chart,- and the outer world of ever-changing experiences that must be karmically faced if there is to be spiritual growth in the current incarnation. Taking us on a journey through each Ascendant Sign, the author shows us what happens when the individual gets caught up in too much identification with the impersonal karma of the world, and how much gets resolved when this is overcome by correct use of their Ascendant.   more..
