Asc. is in late degrees. See below post by user "archergirl"
Re: ASC in Late Degree
Lilly says that a late Ascendant means the querent asks out of despair, or is toying with the question/the astrologer by 'testing' him/her.
What I have found, in the numerous, numerous charts I've seen with a late ASC, is that the querent has already asked the question (maybe several times) and has already received an answer!
It *can*, I suppose, signify a change; but I think it's more likely that it either describes a situation where the querent has no power to influence events, or that they already know the answer...this links back to Lilly's description of the querent in despair. This is why it is listed in the 'considerations for judging', and not usually in a positive light.
