⚠️ The trap
These largely overlap. The Italian-specific trap: 'avere un ascendente su qualcuno' means to have a strong hold or influence over someone — a common expression where English would say 'to have influence over' or 'to hold sway over', not 'to have an ascendant over'.
To say "rising in power or influence; the zodiac sign rising at birth" in Italian:
N/A (same meaning)
"ascendente" in English means:
rising, ascending; ascendant (astrology); influence over someone
Example
"Ha un grande ascendente sui suoi colleghi."
"He has great influence over his colleagues."
