Do we have any astrologists in the house?

I need help.

Why an astrologist, why not an astronomer? Lol

Do astronomers know this stuff? I need to know if the ascendent really leaves you around age 30.

Are you looking for someone to calculate your ascendant for you?

Or are you just looking for info about it? I found a page on Wikipedia about the ascendant.

It doesn't leave, at least not in the way it sounds. By the time you are 30, it is thought that you will have gained enough confidence or come into your own, to not need to rely on your ascendant or outer personality as much, and your true/inner personality (descendant) shines through. It sort-of just blends with your other planetary points.
