Ascendant Lord is equally important. Strong ascendant lord will give main direction or success to fate or in any field. Ascendant lord is like an engine, if it is powerful and strong then will be capable of reaching to the destination without any hiccups. According to classics, if ascendant lord is placed in trine, centre or with 10th house lord, then is capable of achieving heights and natal enjoys life, and will lead a long life.
