Ascendant is considered to be the most important house in a Kundali. It is believed that a person achieves success and lives a good life if Sun, the Karak planet for ascendant and lord of ascendant, is strong in a Kundali. If Sun aspects the ascendant, the native acquires paternal wealth and lives his life like a king. On the other hand, if Moon aspects the ascendant, the native runs a business related to water. According to scholars, a person’s choice of business depends on the ascendant sign. A person’s income can be associated with the sign and planets in the ascendant. Ascendant is considered as important as the ninth, tenth and eleventh house for running a business.

A person can be associated with professions like doctor, chemist, minister or advisor if Sun aspects ascendant or the Lord of ascendant. The case is same when Sun is in the tenth house or aspects the Lord of tenth house. A person works in the bank if Sun is in the second house or if second house and Lord of second house are associated with the ascendant.
