As said above, each Chinese hour can be taken for an Ascendant. Consequently, if you were born in a year of the Dragon and at the hour of the Ox, for instance, you are known to be a Dragon Ascendant Ox (or Dragon/Ox).
Similarly, if you were born in a year of the Pig and at the hour of the Rabbit, you are known to be a Pig Ascendant Rabbit (or Pig/Rabbit).
The importance of the Ascendant
The nuances brought by the Ascendant to the general characteristics of the yearly Sign are by no means negligible. The Ascendant modifies and particularizes. For instance, a Horse individual with an Ascendant Tiger (Horse/Tiger) is not the same personality as another a Horse individual but with an Ascendant Goat (Horse/Goat). The former will be inclined by the Ascendant Tiger toward dynamism, heroism, and confrontation, whereas the latter will be inclined by the Ascendant Goat toward more ponderation, moderation, and reverie.
This article will show you the main features of each yearly Sign as modified and particularized by each of the twelve Ascendants.
