The ascendant is the zodiac sign that was rising on the eastern horizon at the exact moment of your birth. In astrology, it is the "entry gate" of the natal chart: it marks the beginning of the first house and is your social mask — the first impression you give, your way of appearing in the world.
The sun sign is your conscious essence — who you are inside. The ascendant is how you show yourself. Someone with Sun in Cancer (sensitive, introspective) and Ascendant in Sagittarius (expansive, adventurous) looks like a Sagittarius at first glance, but inside is a deep Cancer.
The ascendant requires date, exact time and birth location. Since the ascendant changes every two hours approximately, a difference of minutes can alter the degree; two hours changes the sign entirely.
With approximation. If you know "morning", "afternoon", or "evening", use the midpoint (8am, 2pm, 10pm) for an estimate. For real precision, use your birth certificate.
Because it is the point that "launches" the chart: it defines where the 12 houses begin and therefore where each planet falls. It modifies everything else.
No. The natal ascendant is fixed. What evolves are your expressions of it through life.
