The ascendant is just rising above the Eastern horizon, although not yet visible. It symbolises emergence of unrealised potential.

The sign of the approaching ascendant is that tried-and-trusted ways no longer serve us. We encounter a crisis or unanticipated challenge that looks insurmountable. What once provided meaning and satisfaction now seems hollow. We struggle to find stability in a chaotic environment. It can be a time of discomfort and frustration, and sometimes of apparent darkness. We need to make a  leap into unknown and qualitatively different ways of operating - to emerge into a new light.

We are living in such a time, individually and collectively. Our financial, economic and political systems have delivered massive human inequality and damage to the environment. Continuation on this course will lead to breakdown and chaos. We need to re-examine our priorities and the direction in which we want to travel, rather than attempt to fix what is beyond repair.

Ascendant seeks to assist you in making this transition. This journey is one of transforming awareness. The aim is to facilitate new ways of seeing and understanding that generate freedom and open new possibilities for wholeseome growth.
