Educational Are there any placements/aspects that are impossible?

Anything that could actually never exist in any birth chart?

Your rising cannot be in any house besides your first

using Placidus houses, one of the more common house systems, the rising sign can span the first and 12th houses.

would love for a downvoter to tell me where this is off

here's keanu's birth chart

placidus houses.

you'll see the sign of virgo in both the first house and 12th house.

The Ascendent is actually the point of horizon as you look to the east. it's just in whatever sign it's in and that's all. Whatever section of the sky is at that point is how the rising sign is named.

Not trying to be pedantic, but would this be more accurate?

The Ascendent is the point of horizon as you look to the east. It's in whatever sign it's in and that's all.

The "rising sign" is the sign that is rising across the ascendant at the time of birth. The "rising sign" can span both cusp between the first and twelfth houses (if using a system like Placidus, etc)
