Soul-centered astrology is based on the understanding that there is a spark of divinity or ‘Soul’ within each of us. According to this cosmology, reincarnation and the reality of the Soul are accepted as fact. Many sense this divinity. The moments of deep insight, peace, awe, wonder, grace, and love that we have all experienced at some time are voices from the Soul.

In esoteric astrology, the Ascendant is the key indicator of the Soul’s Purpose.

The sign on the Ascendant indicates how we can best express our personality gifts to extend beyond ourselves to help others, or to help the planet as a whole. The house position of the esoteric ruling planet of the Ascendant indicates where these gifts and qualities are best expressed. It points to the field of service of the Soul.
