Signs of Short Ascension are: Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus and Gemini. They are so called because the signs of Long Ascension rise slowly in Northern latitudes, taking a much longer time than the two hours required if all the twelve signs rose at a uniform rate during the 24-hour day. Leo takes about two hours and 45 minutes to rise above latitude 40N (New York), while Pisces and Aries, two signs of Short Ascension, take only one hour and 10 minutes. The reason for this lies in the obliquity of the ecliptic. The effect is that most people in the Northern Hemisphere are born under the signs of Long Ascension. In the Southern Hemisphere, the signs listed as those of Short Ascension in the foregoing classification become signs of Long Ascension. Most people are born under them, while the Northern signs of Long Ascension rise quickly and relatively few are born under them. Thus, the people of the opposite hemispheres are also opposite in their inner natures, and show different characteristics.
