What we are looking for is what is looking/所见即所寻/ ——St Francis
Take a few seconds to imagine how existence in the womb might feel. Floating rhythmically in the waters of life – there is no sense of an individual or separate identity, no awareness of body, feelings or mind as distinct from anything else. Dreamily immersed in a primal paradise, there is only unity or oneness with the rest of creation. The universe is the self, and the self is the universe.
花几秒钟来想象一下在子宫里是什么样的感觉。有节奏地漂浮在生命之水里——没有对个体或独立身份的察觉，没有对身体、感觉或心灵的感知，没有与众不同的意识。美妙地沉浸在最初的天堂中，这里只有创造余味的和谐与统一。宇宙是自我，自我是宇宙。
Birth rather dramatically jolts us out ofthis realm of oceanic totality. Being born means ‘taking on’ a body, and heraldsthe self as a unique and distinct individual. On the basis of this moment, thebirth chart is drawn and our journey through the houses begins.
出生相当戏剧性地把我们从（子宫）这个海洋的领域中唤醒。出生意味着\”接受\”一个身体，并预示着自我作为一个唯一而独特的个体诞生。从这个时刻开始，我们的出生星图被绘制出来并且开始了十二宫位的旅程。
Marking the cusp of the 1st house, theAscendant shows the exact degree of the zodiacal sign which is rising over theeastern horizon at the time of birth. Coincident with the first independentbreath we take, the Ascendant and 1st house proclaim the beginning of a cycle,the initial step or stage in the process of Becoming.
在标记第一宫的起点时，上升点显示了我们出生时在东方地平线上升起的黄道星座的精准度数。在我们第一次独立呼吸的同时，上升点和第一宫宣告了一个周期的开始，是生命旅程最初的开始。
Whatever is born at a moment in timereflects the qualities of that moment. The Ascending sign comes into light anddistinguishes itself from darkness at the same time that we emerge from thedark, hidden, and undifferentiated environment of the mother’s womb. In otherwords, the Ascendant appears as we appear, and its qualities reflect both whowe are and how we meet life.
无论在此刻诞生什么，都反映了此时的特质。上升星座进入光明并从黑暗中分离出来，同时，我们从黑暗、隐匿的和未分化的母亲的子宫中脱离出来。换句话说，上升点出现的同时我们出生了，它的特质反映了我们是谁以及我们面对人生的态度。
The sign of the Ascendant symbolizes aparticular facet of the totality of life which literally seeks ‘em-bodiment’through what is being born at that moment. Because the Ascendant correspondswith the initial ‘flash’ or ‘hit’ of our individual existence, it also impresses itself deeply into the psyche as ‘that which life is all about’. Weattribute to life the qualities of the sign on the Ascendant or any planetsnearby. It is the lens through which we perceive existence, the focus we bringinto life, the way we ‘bracket’ the world. And since we see the world in thisway, we invariably act and behave in accordance with our vision. What’s more,life obliges our expectations and reflects our own point of view back to us.
上升星座象征了生命的某个特殊面向，通过诞生的那一刻来寻求\”象征\”。因为上升点对应了个体存在的最初\”闪光\”或\”碰撞\”，它给我们留下深刻的\”与生命有关\”的心灵印记。我们把上升星座或附近的任何行星的特质归结于生命。它是我们感知存在的镜头，是我们进入生活的焦点，是我们\”归类\”世界的方式。因为我们以这样的方式看待世界，就会一贯地按照自己的愿景行事。更重要的是，生活满足了我们的期待并且反映了我们自身的看法。
Let us pause and consider this concept fora moment. How we perceive the world (our lens) will influence both the way werelate to it as well as what is fed back to us. By consciously or unconsciously‘choosing’ certain possible interpretations of situations or people’s actionand behaviour (while disregarding other ways of assessing the samecircumstances), we organize our experience of life according to what we haveelected to see. The Ascendant, which is the first notion of life we form atbirth, describes something about this sorting out and selection process.Reflecting the inborn image we have of life, the sign on the Ascendant coloursour view of existence. If we have on red glasses, the world looks red and wewill act accordingly. We may act very differently if we see a blue worldthrough our lenses.
让我们暂停一下，考虑一下这个概念。我们如何感知世界（我们的镜头）将影响我们与世界的联结以及给我们的反馈。通过有意或无意地\”选择\”某种对局势或人们行为的解读（忽略评估相同情况的其他方法），我们选择看到的来组织我们生活的经验。上升点，这是我们在出生时形成的第一个有关生命的概念，描述了关于梳理和选择的过程。反映了我们与生俱来的生命形象，上升星座为我们的实存观着色。如果我们戴上红色眼镜，世界看起来是红色的，我们将采取相应的行动。如果我们透过镜头看到一个蓝色的世界，我们的行为可能会大相径庭。
For example, if Sagittarius is rising, wewill perceive a world of many exciting options and possibilities which inviteus to explore and grow. If Capricorn is rising, however, we will view the worldthrough a narrower lens of fear, doubt and hesitation. The same opportunitiesfor expansion which stimulate and excite the Sagittarius rising into action mayprovoke the Capricorn rising into a state of dread and apprehension. Whenpresented with a new possibility the Sagittarius Ascendant will exclaim,‘Great, when do I start?’ When presented with the same possibility, theCapricorn Ascendant will shudder and drone, ‘Must I do it? I know I reallyshould. Am I good enough? Oh, what a big responsibility!’
例如，上升星座如果是射手座，我们将感知到一个有许多令人兴奋的选择和可能性的世界，而激励我们探索和成长。然而，如果上升星座是摩羯座，我们将用狭隘的带有恐惧、怀疑和犹豫的视角来看待世界。面对相同的机会，会刺激和激发上升射手座采取行动，却可能让上升摩羯座进入恐惧和忧虑的状态。当出现一个新的可能性时，上升射手座会惊呼，“很好，我什么时候开始？”。当出现同样的可能性时，上升摩羯座会不寒而栗且喃喃自语：“我必须这样做吗？我知道我真的应该去做。但我足够优秀吗？哦，多么大的责任！”
We ‘dream the world up’ according to thesign on the Ascendant, and then we enact the dream. It is both the maze wecreate, and, at the same time, the way out of the maze. For instance, thosewith Aries rising interpret the world as a place in which action anddecisiveness are prerequisites, and then they proceed to act decisively. Thosewith Gemini rising create a world in which acquiring knowledge andunderstanding is necessary and then they endeavor to try to figure life out. Inthis sense, the sign on the Ascendant is both what we are looking for and whatis doing the looking.
我们根据上升星座去\”梦想世界\”，然后我们实现梦想。它既是我们创造的迷宫，也是走出迷宫的出路。例如，那些上升白羊座的人将世界的先决条件理解为行动和果断，然后他们采取果断行动。那些上升双子座的人创造了一个世界，在这个世界中，获得知识和理解是必要的，然后他们努力去了解生活。从这个意义上说，上升星座既是我们要寻找的，也恰好是我们在寻找中所采用的方式。有需要联系v；zhanxzhanx有需要联系v；zhanxzhanx
