The ascendant (ASC) is a point on the ecliptic that rises on the eastern horizon at a particular moment and changes as the Eerth rotates on its axis, and the descendant (DEC) is a point where the ecliptic meets the western horizon on the opposite point to the ascendant. A chart with an emphasis of planets located in the lower half of the Ascendant-Descendant axis, for example, suggests a more self-oriented, interior, personal bias whist an emphasis of planets in the upper half suggests much activity in the outer world.
