Ascendant symbolize rising sun in the morning. As sun rises, so our hopes and dreams. As a general rule, when any of the first six signs of the zodiac is on the ascendant, the person's expression of ego has expansive quality. Libra is seventh sign of the zodiac. Libra ascendant represents the setting sun. At the sunset, we feel exhaustion of personal effort and expression of ego. The light fades and the world comes to submerge into the darkness. We become less certain of who we are.
M. Schulman wrote: The greatest gift of the Libra ascendant is the ability to give another person himself. In relating to others, you do not offer competition. You see the use of power and force in the world, but are not interested in aligning with it. Where others compete for survival, you can placidly experience a sense of contentment. You know that one cannot punch a feather. The more an individual tries to be more than others, the less he ultimately is to himself; You know that when you are connected to your inner being nothing in the world could possibly hurt or take away from yourself, for you are love, and love is an endless pouring stream that replenishes itself in direct proportion to the amount you allow it to flow. Rather than seeing the world through rose colored glasses, you see artistic and aesthetic possibilities in your environment. You know how to let things be. The beauty of in this sunset ascendant comes, not from feeling the exhaustion of ego, but rather from understanding that you do not need a powerful ego to function harmoniously in the world.
Libra is ruled by the Venus, the planet of love, harmony and beauty. John Lennon had Libra as his Sun-Sign. Think his song "Imagine". Yes, he would ask you to "imagine." Here, his ego, is not directly expressed. Ultimately how much of love/goodness we can bring into this world depends not on John Lennon's ability to imagine, but on his audiences' abilities to "imagine". The ability need to be with each of us. So he knew, the wisdom of his sun-sign.

Re: Libra ascendant
Wed, September 7, 2005 - 10:43 AMa thought from the feminine perspective on this principle, which I feel is in alignment with what you are saying...
as we near the autum equinox, and actually this began mid summer at the solstice, the balance does shift from extrovertedness to introvertedness. we are called to look within, reflect on our nature, find coziness in hibernation. The divine mother or feminine principle is our guide. Perhaps rather than being less certain of who we are, we become more certain in our spiritual essence and less ego oriented... or maybe its just me:o)

Re: Libra ascendant
Fri, September 23, 2005 - 11:17 AMI am an aquarian sun, moon, venus, mercury. But, there I sit w/ Libra rising. and I often thank my sister sign for tempering my ego. for tho we are much alike, libra rising is the only compatible (but most imp.) sign my daughter and I have in common. she is a leo. as far as love relationships, well, i have pretty much put them on the back burner. they just haven't usrvived all that air over the years. And true to air head thinking, "it doesn't really matter". I'm to busy heading off leos ego. lucky for us libra always steps in and we both end our squabbles. her libra really squelches that leo ego, eventually. for me, it melts my aquarian aloofness, which is a paradox, causes those that know me, know i can talk to plants and have quite the conversation.
