ascendant DOES also mean ancestor. but that's a much less used meaning 
in english... rising is what people think ascendant means.

i wasn't aware of the second definition until i looked at the dictionary 
myself...

so ascendant is probably not the clearest choice. people use ancestor a 
million times more for this purpose.
