Square the Asc

Last one!

Note: If you have more than one of things, descriptions will be modified.



Sun square Asc: This can be a problematic aspect, but hardly the end of the world. These people do not always come across well to others. This is because of the square tension between their ego/personality and how they come off. In this case, signs can matter, as they help interpret the aspect.

Some people with this aspect can come across as pushy, insensitive, or having an "attitude." Even if the Asc is in Pisces and the Sun is in Gemini or Sagittarius, there is still a pushy nature and attitude with them, although it may not be as fiery as someone who has an Aries rising and Cancer sun.

These people can be defensive when they do not get their way. This stems from childhood. On the plus side, this defense can help out if they are bullied as teens or children. They do not want to be seen as weak.

As they get older, they may have some sort of conflict with authority figures. These people resent being told what to do, but will need to learn to hold their tongue and attitude.



Moon square Asc: Like all Moon-Asc aspects, these people come across as sensitive and caring. They are the person that one can talk to about their problems since they appear sympathetic. They lend a good listening ear.

Since this is a square aspect, there is a tension. This stems mostly as an internal tension within themselves. They know they are emotional people, whether they actually verbalize their emotions or not. They are highly sensitive, but there is some sort of censorship as to how you express their emotions.

When they express their emotions, it is not always a true reflection of how they truly feel. This is because they do not want other people to disapprove of them.

Some people with this aspect lie about their true emotions and put on a false happy face. I think of the "Keep Calm and Carry On" posters that they had in England during the riots. Other people's emotions come out inappropriately and they appear irrational. Other people with this aspect repress their emotions.

It is possible that in early childhood, these children were told emotions were inappropriate or were told to repress them.



Mercury square Asc: When these people speak, other people misunderstand them. Some are even offended. These people do not mean to offend people on purpose; often there is a conflict with their words and how they come off to other people.

This is not to say they are terrible at communication. They do not realize when they offend someone. People with this aspect very well may be good speakers, but there is a cloudiness or fuzziness when they communicate to other people. This can be true with someone who has Mercury in Gemini/Sagittarius and a Pisces rising. Other people may not know how to take what they say/do and their body language.

On a negative side, there is a lot of nervous energy within themselves. Some of these people may not be confident at all about how they communicate. They will need to learn how to relax and yes, other people can detect that!

There may have been issues focusing in school, or a late start in school. People with this aspect have potential for academic success. There needs to be discipline and focus.



Venus square Asc: These people are highly sentimental... about everything! They like to cling onto the past... past family memories, past loves, and objects that meant something to them in the past. ( There could be a tendency in hoarding, but look to other factors as well, like Moon stress aspects to Jupiter/Venus/or Neptune. )

This aspect does not make one ugly. Like all Venus-Asc aspects, there is a possibility that the native is a bit superficial when it comes to looks.He/she wants to always look good and wear the best clothes. On the other side, this aspect can manifest in a way that the native doesn't care too much about physical appearance, but wants a beautiful home.

Love must be symbolic. "I love you" is important to them and it must be said. But if not, love letters are admired and usually kept for a long time. ( Until a family member forces them to burn the letters ). Old rings or old gifts are usually kept. And when in a relationship these are of symbolic signs of love.

They can be giving when it comes to relationships and this is a sign of their love to the other person.

On a more negative front, some of these people may make good friends, but may not always want to take on the responsibility of being a best friend. ( a.k.a. helping their friends when they are in need ). There is reluctance there unless they get something in return.



Mars square Asc: These people are assertive, but signs here do help the interpretations. Someone with a Cancer rising ( Aries Mars ) may come across as more defensive and a Pisces rising ( Sagittarius Mars ) may blow up when things were repressed for too long. Aries rising may come across as too aggressive, especially if they have a more cold repressed Capricorn Mars or a defensive pushy Cancer Mars.

Their actions, whether assertive or aggressive, annoy/offend other people, especially in relationships. In a debate or athletic event, this can be helpful. In fact, this aspect can denote success in a debate team or athletics. There is a lot of energy that needs to be released and sports/exercise/fitness can be one.

In relationships, it is easier for them to get angry rather than sulk and cry. It is a defense mechanism that was learned when younger. Crying denotes weakness and getting angry is not as weak. In women this can be an issue ( but also with men too. ) However, women are expected by society to be more tender, so women with this aspect are more likely to be reprimanded.

Home life was/is probably rushed, on the go, or one of the parents was like this. One of the parents might have had a temper problem, or perhaps the native was just an angry little kid who wanted his/her way all the time.



Jupiter square Asc: There may be issues regarding moderation and self discipline, whether it is eating, partying, shopping/spending money, and the likes. Or all three of them!

Like all Jupiter-Asc aspects, these people are good natured and like to have a good time. They make good friends because they are fun-loving and have a generous streak. If you're in a situation, they'd be more than happy to help you out. ( As long as you do not take advantage of them. )

Sometimes it takes a hit to realize one is living live in over indulgence. These people know the importance of having money saved and why they should have it. When they are younger, parents are going to bail them out. If the parent does not bail them out, they will need to learn from their financial mistakes. Or partying mistakes, or whatever.



Saturn square Asc: Like all Saturn-Asc aspects, these people are mature and responsible. On the downside, there may be too much caution. Others may see this person as cold and indifferent, since they may turn down opportunities.

Some of these people are afraid to assert themselves or go after what they want because they are afraid of opposition. They move slowly and surely until they get what they want. This may stem from being knocked down as a child when they verbalized their goals.

During early childhood, the child's parents may have been cool towards them. The child learned to be a perfectionist. They are all about the minor details in life.

There may be issues with being too frugal and not having enough fun with their money. They work hard and will need to act in moderation. ( a.k.a. spending SOME money every now and again ). It does not hurt to indulge in oneself... just not in excess!

In love, they may be cautious which can put others off. They will need someone who understands them and is patient. And it is understood that if they do not spend a lot of money on a gift, not to take it particularly personal. Sometimes a lover can see the native as cold and aloof at times.



Uranus square Asc: These people are original and independent. They resist any forms of repressing their independence, and some of them can be downright ruthless and abusive when others try to take freedom away from them. Fierce independence is the best way I can describe this.

While they like to march to the beat of their own drum, other people don't like this too much. Especially the family, which is represented by both the 4H and 10H. As teenagers, they were probably in conflict with their family members. Perhaps they were seen as the "black sheep" or the weirdo. Whatever the case, the family tried to restrict freedom when the teenager wanted to do as he/she pleased.

In life, these people either met those who are unconventional, yet unstable. Or meet those they want stable friendships and relationships with, but the other people are flighty and unstable.

Positively, these people like to help others. They want a job/career where they can better society and the community. They see clearly through BS that is going on in the world and are idealistic ( but not in the Neptune illusion sense ). They have Vision and foresight, but personality will need to be moderated.



Neptune square Asc: Like all Neptune-Asc aspects, these people are creative and imaginative. However with the square aspect, they do not capitalize on their imagination. They'd rather just day dream.

On the downside, there may be issues asserting oneself, in friendships or at work. The native doesn't like to do this because they are afraid of being put down. They are incredibly sensitive and get crushed easily. They do not like competition of any sorts unless they are confident in themselves.

Again, confidence will need to be learned. "Toughen up" is the thing that is best described here. Natives will need to find a creative outlet like art, music, or writing to help with their fertile imaginations.

There may be issues with finding a career they like best. This is because the native is afraid of failure, for starters, but also because they have a wide variety of interests. Once the person can nail it down to a couple ideas, they will be able to benefit and prosper. At any rate, experimentation with careers might be a good idea or take a couple classes to see what they like best.



Pluto square Asc: People with the square aspect between Pluto and the Asc want to be powerful forces in those closest to them, whether it be the family or a partner. They may be bossy or controlling in home life. There are control issues that will need to be worked on.

They feel as if they do not control the situation, they will be seen as weak. Often there is great stress when things do not go as planned. There may have been power struggles between the parents, or one of the parents. Additionally, another way this can manifest is that one of the parents was overbearing, manipulative, controlling, jealous, or any variation of those. The child might have felt like he/she was being controlled, so they may want to make up for it in adult life.

In relationships, they may have a tendency to control the partner. This can bring resentments from both sides. They feel that if they do not control the other person, he/she will control them. Again, go back to childhood... In this case, it's best to work on control issues before entering an intimate relationships.

In jobs/careers, they can come across as overbearing and over importance. This can annoy superiors or people in authority.

Trine/Sextile the Asc

Holler.

You know the drill. These are my interpretations of the aspects, and keep in mind that if you have more than one of these, the aspects will be modified.

When really looking at your personality, the whole chart must always be considered. These are just helping tools.

Another note I want to bring up is that the sextile and trine are both similar. That is why I am doing one post on them. A trine is usually the more dynamic of the two and more powerful. The sextile is a little more mellow but the traits do come out. Think of the trine as being more intense. Usually trines are when the two planets are in the same element ( like Sun in Sagittarius and Asc in Aries ) but not always.

Sun trine/sextile the Asc: As long as the sun doesn't make many squares to other planets, these people are usually quite popular and well-liked. Their ego/core personality is harmonious with their outer self/mannerisms. It is said these are good placements for performing arts or sports, or being interested in sports, that is. They may even enjoy watching sports rather than participating in them.

There is a flair for enthusiasm with this placement. Think of the people who have good spirit, either in school or for work. They like to be proud of their teams or work place.

There is also a friendly flair of competitiveness, either in sports, at school or in the work place. They are not overly competitive. It is a more fun competition. These people are usually fair to others.



Moon trine/sextile the Asc: These people come off as sweet and sensitive. As long as the Moon is not challenged in other ways, they are truly sensitive and catering to the needs of others. I think this is a good placement for retail or food; these people want to please ( but it is not based upon their own personal security ) and want people to be happy. That is why service jobs earlier in life might be good. Later on in life as they are more professional health care settings or social work settings might be ideal for these people where they can show their sensitivities to others.

These people are intuitive and imaginative. They come off as being good friends and sometimes like they won't do anything wrong. Ever. ( Do not assume. Everyone is capable of being mean, even these people ).

In most cases, these people just like to be away from drama. Drama is not for them. They prefer to be in harmony with other people and do not want to hurt others feelings. It is easy for them to feel hurt by others. If the environment is too negative they pick up the feelings easily.

Generally speaking, they do not come off as overemotional or oversensitive, but sensitive enough. I think this is a good position to have, especially when you want to make new friends.



Mercury trine/sextile the Asc: It is easy for these people to communicate well with others and get their point across. They are straight to the point and like their facts/details. When dealing with other people, they might be a little emotionally dumb at first. They prefer to deal with the outside world with intellect rather than their own emotions.

This is a good position for anyone who likes to debate. These people are able to debate without criticizing other people and they are always well informed on the topic they are debating for. Usually they are fair minded and logical, allowing the other person to make his/her case. ( Unless there is a stressful Mercury-Pluto, Mercury-Mars aspect ).

These people come off as smart and maybe even intelligent. They are good with words, either in speaking or writing. They could come off as good writers, or someone interested in reading and writing. These are people come off as book smart. They like their facts. Unless they have a strong Jupiter/Uranus, or Mercury-Jupiter or Uranus aspects, they aren't big picture people.



Venus trine/sextile the Asc: Good self worth is key here, unless Venus is making some square aspects. But with this aspect even if there is low self esteem it can easily be fixed.

These people like how they look, no matter if they are conventionally attractive or not. They have inner beauty and know so. They do not necessarily come off as superficial at all, but they do care about how they look. They may enjoy picking out what they are going to wear, what colors, and how their hair looks.

There is an elegance about these people that is hard to miss whether they are men or women. They are cooperative, fair and generally make good friends. They come off as sociable and assertive. They are not passive or aggressive.

There might be issues with overdoing vices, like shopping or eating. Some moderation will be needed, even though it is not as indulgent as the conjunction.



Mars trine/sextile the Asc: These people are enthusiastic about life in general. Sometimes too enthusiastic. Like Sun-Asc aspects, they like sports, either playing the sport or watching the sport. There is a great spirit for the team they like.

They are independent and assertive. These harminous aspects usually do not produce someone who is violent and aggressive. They know how to stand up for themselves without being a total ass. More sensitive people might view them as being jerks/bitches, because they may have a tendency to say exactly what is on their mind.

Some men with these aspects might forcefully be about their independence, pushing women in their life away. They might be seen as being afraid of commitment. This is not to say they actually are. It depends on the guy and what else is going on in their charts.

Most people with these placements like any sort of physical activity, whether it is an actual sport or just running/bike riding. They like to keep themselves in good shape and they usually are. There is also a pronounced thing with eating food quickly and being "on the go." Prone to restlessness at times.

Usually sexually healthy.



Jupiter trine/sextile the Asc: If there is anything these people need to learn it is moderation. There may be some self indulgent streaks with them much like the conjunction except it is less intense and more harminous. There is nothing wrong with liking the good things in life; just do not be wasteful. Some people with these aspects are, indeed, like that: They have nice things and eat good food but do not overdo it.

These people generally possess a sense of optimism and cheerfulness to those they meet. Jovial and humorous are other words as well. They may be generous as well; sometimes spending money on other people when they should not. Usually that does not get out of control though.

Usually well liked, because they are fun to be around and good humored.



Saturn trine/sextile the Asc: They are usually not party animals. People with these aspects may be shy and withdrawn as children but slowly grow out of it. Even as adults, they are introverted and cautious, preferring a few mature people than a bunch of fake ones.

There usually isn't a problem with the trine/sextiles with the Asc, except the fact there might be issues with being more outgoing and "out there."

They come off as serious and responsible even when they are young. They take their responsibilities to heart. There is usually not an indication of being a workahoulic; these people do know how to play well after they work a bit. You must work a little before you play a little.



Uranus trine/sextile the Asc: Again, this is not usually an indication of someone who is weird, bizarre, or "out there." Some may be bizarre or strange, but they probably have other Uranus aspects that suggest this or a strong Aquarius/Uranus presence in their chart.

However, for MOST people with this aspect, they are independent and may be loners, but still have a few good friends. They are able to join groups or clubs for a good cause to help others or just to connect and meet new people.

They are usually genuine people. Some may be trendy, others are not. They wear what they want to wear. They dress in ways because they like to. They really do what they really want to do. I think that is the best way to put it. If they do something, it's because they really want to.

There may be a creative or silly streak with these people as well. Some may be quirky or say things you are uncomfortable with. Generally speaking, they are not so bizarre they are outsiders, but they're the people you go "Oh < insert name here>!"

Neptune trine/sextile the Asc: These people come off as idealistic, sensitive, and creative/artsy. Reading, writing, poetry, music and art are key words here, or at least these people put on a flair they are into that kind of stuff. Even psychology might be an interest of theirs, since they are interested in other people.

There is an interest in other people and their feelings. These people are highly sensitive themselves, but unlike the conjunction or square, there may not be a vulnerability factor here. They may not come off as push overs or oversensitive, like they will melt. I read that some stressful Neptune-Asc aspects can indicate stalkers and other people forming unrealistic expectations about them. This may or may not be the case with these people. Trines/sextiles are usually quite positive.

People with these aspects do want the perfect friendship and relationship. They idealize human relationships to the point they sometimes get disappointed and discouraged. It might be best to find awesome character traits within themselves for them to truly love who they are.

Some people with these aspects might be perfectionists in school, work, or in their appearance. They might think they are ugly when they are not.

It is important to them to see themselves clearly and to work on their talents.



Pluto trine/sextile the Asc: These people are usually highly intuitive about themselves and other people even if they do not directly show it. They know when someone likes them or dislikes them, and try to be aware of their own personal impact to other people.

There is a strong sense of creativity. When there is a creative burst, the person feels the need to finish their projects, whether it is a novel, a work problem, a song, novel, artwork, or a new product ( like for a company ). It can even be something as simple as cooking or anything culinary, or even starting a business on the other extreme.

These people are not overtly intense, unless there are other Pluto aspects, like to the Moon, Mars or Venus. They have depth to them, but not quite as intense or intimidating as the square or conjunction natives.

They are not control freaks ( if they are, that is due to other aspects in the chart, or placements ), but they do like to help people via giving advice and like to help others transform their lives. It is easy for these people to get rid of anything negative in their life and change it for the greater good. In more negative instances, they might be seen as a nuisance. They usually do not force their beliefs on other people, even though they make their beliefs known.

OPPOSED THE ASC

A few weeks ago I blogged about conjunctions to the Asc with my own interpretations. Today I will be doing the opposite; when planets are opposed to your Asc.

Note: When a planet is opposed to your Asc, it means it is conjunct your DC. Oftentimes, this will manifest in a way that you will need to balance energies that are within you. This also represents other people in your life ( DC-7th house ) and people who marry/date.



Sun opposed the Asc: These people aren't usually submissive, but they are the types of people who seem to always want to be in a relationship. If not a relationship, they always want to be with their best friends. They often care about what other people think; sometimes living through other people. It is important to them to be liked and popular. It is important to them to have the approval of their best friends and/or partner.

These people are outgoing and sociable. They know other people well, and are good at negotiating and counseling. They prefer to be around other people and to help other people.

Some people with this placement are dependent, but not all of them. Frequently, they like to ask for opinions from other people before making a decision. In some cases this can be rather annoying. People with this placement will need to learn more independence.

In some cases the spouse or partner might be a Leo-type; charismatic, ambitious, yet family oriented and fun-loving. If the Sun makes square aspects, the partner might be dominating, selfish, and always wanting the last word in.



Moon opposed the Asc: These people are generally quite shy, yet likeable. They are seen as sensitive/nurturing by other people. In many cases, these people make other people's emotions personal to them. It is easy for them to identify other people's emotions. This can be good and bad; they are good listeners and make a sensitive partner themselves. But it can be overwhelming and draining for them sometimes to handle. In most cases, they might wish they didn't identify with other people's emotions as much.

The only real problem I can see with this aspect is identifying too much with other people's feelings. In some cases, I can see the person being seen as overly emotional, or weird even for caring about other people.

With the moon opposed the Asc, it is conjunct the DC. Their partner may be emotional and sensitive, being a good listener and a good nurturer. If Moon makes square aspects, the partner may be too moody, or too emotionally needy, or too jealous/possessive ( if there is square to Pluto ).



Mercury opposed the Asc: People with Mercury opposed the Asc are good conversationalists. They can talk about anything and everything with most people. They can be shy in some cases, but are more than likely sociable and lively. These people are intelligent and witty, but are able to think of ideas better when they are with a partner or best friend.

When with a partner or best friend, they prefer to debate or have intellectual discussions. These people brainstorm well with other people. They can think of a good soluation when they brainstorm with other people.

This does not mean they are not dependent thinkers. They can be an independent thinker just as much as anyone, but they like to see all sides of the story and get input from everyone.

In some cases, the partner is just as intelligent as they are. They prefer to date/marry people who are intelligent and share the same views as they do. They're not all about dull people! If Mercury is stressed ( depending on planet ), the spouse/partner may be deceitful, a liar, or mischievous.



Venus opposed the Asc: No, this does not make one ugly. In some cases, people with this aspect FEEL ugly, but have the confidence to hide it well. People with this aspect are drawn to be friends with others who they feel are more beautiful or more successful than they are. They prefer to be friends with the RIGHT people. They prefer to be with beautiful or successful people.

There is elegance and tact with people who have this aspect. They are sometimes shy, but know the right things to say to people and at the right times. They are generally liked, but that is only because they sometimes keep themselves back from doing what they really want to do. ( There is a slight submissive streak, since there is a strong approval from other people ).

Many people are drawn to their good manners. They are polite.

In love, they are very giving and dote on their partners. They are good loves themselves, showering the partner with love and affection. Sometimes when a partner is not up to their standards they are very hurt.

In other cases, the partner is gracious, successful, or beautiful in his/her own way. Or has a pleasing and cooperative personality. Another way this can manifest is having a creative or artsy husband/wife.



Mars opposed the Asc: Even if these people aren't overly aggressive on the outside, there is something about them that annoys other people. ( Most of them don't know it themselves! ) There might have been issues where they said the wrong thing at the wrong moment, looked at someone the wrong way etc that could have caused other people to snap or bully them.

These people are fiercely independent though. Especially when it comes to relationships. They need their personal freedom to do what they want. In some cases they might be seen as selfish. Conflict can come because of their need for freedom. Conflict might not be so bad as long as they are tactful when they say they need space as opposed to forcing it.

These people are able to stand their ground, even if they appear submissive or passive. They do have a fighting spirit that can be unleashed when it needs to be unleashed. Especially when it comes to what they want to do in life, they can be very defensive.

As for the partner, he/she can be assertive, direct and blunt. He/she may be independent as well. If both are able to handle Independence needs, all should work well. If Mars is making square aspects, there may be frequent conflicts and arguments. Or perhaps the couple just likes to argue for fun.



Jupiter opposed the Asc: These people are generally good natured individuals who want to see the best in people. They are highly idealistic, giving, and know how to have a good time. Well, at least most of the time.

Their idealism shows the most when it comes to other people. This is not the same as Neptune's idealism. These people give their best friends, colleagues, and partner the benefit of the doubt sometimes. They are usually very forgiving towards their partners especially, but are not blind. There are second chances, but not fifth chances.

In some cases, people with this aspect like to hang out with people who can help them in some way ( for a cause or for a career ). May see people as tools rather than human beings.

In love, they are giving and jubliant. When crossed, they may come off as condescending and like they know it all. In most cases, they are out to have a good time and will spend a pretty penny on the one they care deeply about. Usually the partner should have the same philosophical and moral beliefs. The native prefers other idealists.

The partner may also be a Jupiter type as well... someone out to have a good time and be optimistic and jovial. The partner might also be a philosophical type, a wise woman/man, or one into academia or law. If Jupiter is afflicted or if the person is unlucky, the partner may be lazy, self-righteous, and arrogant/intellectual snob.



Saturn opposed the Asc: This is usually not the easiest aspect in the world. People with this aspect come off as cold and aloof, but mostly because they are introverted. There are trust issues and self esteem issues floating around. The person doesn't want to meet new people because they are afraid that they will be perceived as weird or not cool enough to fit into the group. At school or work, these people might be seen as stuffy or snobby, or icy. There is a detached nature about them, but it's only their outer shell. It is how they react to the world.

Most people do not go out of their way to know this individual either. That is mostly because again, they may appear snobby or simply uninterested.

Problems when finding a partner may arise due to this detachment. Especially with women, with cultural expectations of women being emotionally open, sociable and chatty. Men may see a woman with this aspect as uninterested and icy. Men with this aspect, too, may have a hard time with women. They may not know what to say or have their foot in their mouth.

Nothing is ever the end of the world. Once they meet the right person, they are devoted and loyal. These people are not fond of PDA, but will show you affection in private. They may have a hard time with "I love you" preferring to show love via action rather than words. As long as the partner understands this, the better the relationship will be.

However, if a relationship does not work out for them, they are able to leave. It is extremely hard for them to leave, but they'd rather be unattached and happy, rather than attached and unhappy. They are level headed.

In other cases, the partner may be level headed and practical. In some cases, he/she might not be affectionate enough or overly restrictive/structured.



Uranus opposed the Asc: These people are extremely independent, but are able to commit to someone who is like them and gives them the space they need to explore. In some cases, the person feels trapped in a relationship and may feel that relationships are the only way blocking them to the life they really want. In other cases, people with this aspect may actually be ready to settle down, but finds a person who wants more independence than they want to give. The best approach is to find a moderate, healthy balance of independence and together time, and that is to find the right person willing to give it to them.

These people may/may not be quirky or bizarre in the traditional Aquarius sense. The big thing about these people is that they aren't fan of authority or society. They are distrustful of society and authority, seeing society as trying to pin people down into special little categories.

These people need to be themselves in a relationship or it won't work out. Some people with this placement are independent, but still able to maintain a committed relationship. However, the key here is that the partner needs to accept him/her as who he/she is. People with this aspect want their own lifestyle and anyone who tries to anihiliate that, is in trouble.

These are usually the people who either: 1. resist marriage ( or never marry at all ) until later in life; over 35 or so. 2. Marry extremely young on a whim, but later regret it. 3. Marry whenever they want, but may have a non traditional married life.

The partner is independent like they are. He/she should be the type of person who is genuine and tolerant. If Uranus is afflicted, the partner might want too much independence, be too aloof/cold, or is unstable/unreliable.



Neptune opposed the Asc: These are highly creative and artsy people who like to help others. With Neptune on the DC, it is likely they do not know who is their true friends and who is not ( until something really bad happens when they have a reality check of who their true friends are ). It is also likely they are very fanciful and idealistic when it comes to boyfriends and girlfriends, often being disappointed in relationships.

They will need to know reality. They can not trust everyone they meet. People with Neptune here are very sensitive to the feelings of other people. They badly want to be liked and appreciated. They do not want to hurt anyone's feelings or make anyone mad at them. Sometimes they help people who do not deserve to be helped and they get screwed over. This can be a fake friend or a bad boyfriend/girlfriend.

Until then, they need to understand themselves, what they want, and to see people as who they really are. Once they do that, they will have a clear picture of who is good for them and who their true friends are.

Romance is fine. Idealizing romance is fine, but not when they are putting their partner on a pedestal. It is very easy for them, since they are very romantic. Romance always has its place,but so does reality.

They need a partner who is sensitive to their needs and looks out for their wants. That is because they dont' always voice what they need and want. A healthy balance between self and others will need to be practiced. The partner should also have a fertile imagination and be creative.

In negative cases, the partner might be unreachable, on drugs, or deceitful.



Pluto opposed the Asc: These people want to form deep, meaningful contacts with their close friends or relationships. It is likely that they have intense and emotional bonds with all their close contacts. When first meeting someone ( like on a first date ), they might make the other feel intimidated or uncomfortable with probing questions. Some may feel like the native sees right through them.

These people are either attracted to powerful and charismatic people, or powerful and charismatic people are attracted to them. Either way, there is usually some degree of power in their relationships.

In negative cases, they are controlling and possessive in relationships, afraid of rejection and insecurity. Or they are in a relationship where their partner is manipulative, controlling and emotionally ( or physically ) abusive.

In more positive cases, their relationships are transforming both to themselves and the other person. They learn more about themselves and their psychology from their relationships. They are able to "fix" what is bad about them and transform into a new and better person. They are able to grow via relationships and learn.

There is the capability of helping and healing other people, molding other people for the greater good and for change in society. Pluto represents power, power and the misuse of it.

CONJUNCT THE ASC

Hey, babes.

I haven’t written in about a month due to not knowing what to write about, and general busyness of everyday life from friends, boyfriend, and work. Pretty soon I will be back in school too.

Today I am going to write about affects of the planets when they are conjuct the Asc. Lets RECAP here: When a planet is conjunct the Asc it is 8 degrees or less. The closer the orb, the more intense the conjunction is. Nonetheless, a 7 degree conjunction is still a conjunction.

Also, keep in mind that if you have more than one conjunction, my descriptions will be a bit modified too. Your rising sign and planets in the first house will also modify my descriptions.

Astrology isn’t all cookie cut. It’s quite complex, and you need to put the two together.

Sun conj Asc: The ego and mannerisms/outside self are infused together. Put it this way; you’re ( mostly ) “what you see is what you get.” You’re the type of person who knows you you are, what you’re good at and what you’re not good at, and you know what you deserve. Basically, you know who you are on the inside and outside. This brings you confidence. People like you because of this confidence. People like you in general.

This does not automatically make you outgoing or sunshiney. This may be true if you have a Leo sun and asc, but if you have a Pisces sun and asc, or Cancer sun and asc, this will be different. However, whether you’re a loner or bubbly person, you know who you are and what you’re all about. If you’re a Pisces or Cancer for example, you’re not a doormat. You’re able to stand your ground when there are obstacles. You do not fall into others wishes easily because you know who you are and what you stand for.

In some people, this placement can make them appear arrogant. In others, they are just confident and secure. Overall, I’d rate it as a good placement, since the ego and outward personality are aligned.

A secure person, unless something is seriously wrong elsewhere in the chart.

MOON CONJUNCT THE ASC: You might find that your moon sign may be very prominent in your personality. That is because it’s conjunct your rising sign, and may very well be in the same sign.

Put it this way; you’re an emotional person. We’re all emotional, but you SHOW it. You live your life via your emotions. You wear a different colored mask everyday, or every few hours depending on how moody you are, revealing us your emotion. In fact, you live your life in color. People can generally tell when you’re sad or happy, or any other emotion. It is hard for you to hide your emotions, even if you TRY to hide them!

Depending on the sign of your Moon will show how this comes off. Obviously an Gemini moon person is going to be a little different than a Cancer moon person. The Gemini moon person might not be quite as showy in their display of emotion, but may happily discuss the emotional nature with other people. They may talk about their emotions, but aren’t showy in their display. A Cancer moon person may be moody at times, and you can tell when they are down in the dumps easily. On the other side, a Leo moon person will be quite colorful indeed, showing excitement and drama wherever they go. Aries moon will more than likely get angry quite often. Moon in Aquarius may show in their personality an analysis of their own emotions.

Children may be attracted to you, whether you like it or not. They may assume you’re nurturing and kind, even if you do not personally believe you are nurturing. Women may feel comfortable with you. This can be good if you’re a man.

Mercury conjunct the Asc: Communication comes easily to you, whether you’re a Scorpio rising or a Libra rising. Your communication/learning style is infused with your outward personality/mannerisms. Therefore, you make it in your personality to be learned, well informed, logical, and analytical. People think and know you are an intelligent, informed person.

Emotions may be fuzzy to you. When you’re dealing with the outside world or personal acquaintances, or people you know but not too well, you prefer to keep a distance, analyzing them. Even if you’re a very sensitive and emotional person, you feel this is the best way to approach the world. You can turn separate emotions and logic from one another.

Generally speaking, you might have been a “teachers pet” when you were younger. You saw the importance of school and learning, and may have been anal in early childhood with school work. Depending on sign will show your academic subjects you were excellent at, or cared most for.

Short trips and journeys are fun to you. You are restless and do not like to sit still, especially if you have a Sag Mercury and rising, or even a Pisces Mercury and rising. You like to constantly be thinking or doing things. Your mind ever shuts up. Depending on the sign, you may be diplomatic or overtly blunt.

VENUS CONJ THE ASC: People associate this placement with physical beauty. Yes, you can be physically beautiful, but this also can manifest in a way that you have a pleasing and beautiful outward personality. Generally speaking, this placement is probably better off in women than men due to society. Cooperation, tact, good grace, style, elegance, etc are usually associated with women than men. Men with this placement are not “girlie men” in most cases, but they do have pleasing personalities. These are not men who get into fights, or act in craziness. They might also attract lots of women.

Most oftenly, in both sexes LOL, this manifests in having a “pleasing personality” like how I explained before. Some people with this placement are outgoing, sociable and are socially smart. They know how to dress and present themselves. They are usually likable, but sometimes seen as superficial or fake. ( Unless there are other factors in the chart, or if Uranus is making aspect to the Asc too )

Romantic personalities. Wanting romance. Flirty.

Mars conjunct the Asc: This aspect can make a Pisces rising seem less vulnerable. Again, like the Venus one, this placement ( according to society, NOT ME ) is better off in men than women. Only because Mars traits are associated with men, and Mars traits in women are sometimes looked down upon. However, women with Mars traits are generally more accepted ( and wanted ) than men with some Venus traits. That is a sad and unfortunate truth about AmURican society.

These people will find that their Mars sign is prominent in their charts. They get angry and frustrated easily, and might have bouts of road rage or any other stupid stuff. In Aries, they may get a speeding ticket. In Pisces, they may get pissed and turn to weed.

Assertiveness or aggressiveness ( depending on Mars sign and aspects ) is in their personalities. A Pisces rising, like I said before, might be less vulnerable than without the Mars conjunction. However, it adds assertiveness especially if Mars is in Aries or Aquarius. A Mars-Asc conjunction in Aries or Leo has potential for being aggressive, but not always.

These people always seem like they are in a rush. They are impatient, sometimes rude ( but don’t always mean to be ), and like to have their way. These are people who may get pissed easily, but also get over it easily. Grudges are usually not held. You usually know their motives, as they are straightforward individuals.

Can indicate a likelihood of sports or fitness activities.

JUPITER CONJ THE ASC: Nahhh this doesn’t automatically make you fat. Some people with this placement may overeat and overdrink, thus getting fat. However, anyone needs to watch out for that, not just people with this placement.

However, Jupiter does represent expansion. So expanding yourself might be a problem. This can come in the form of food or drink, but also in the form of partying or shopping. Overextending yourself can be a problem, especially if you get yourself into debt.

Expanding onself is not always bad when done in moderation. This is the person who is all about trying new ethnic and novel foods. They get bored easily, so they constantly need stimulation. These are the people who like to have a good time. They like good food and good music. They are friendly and jubilant. They like to laugh. They like to make people laugh. They like to smile and see other people smile.

In some people, this can come off as arrogance. Especially when it comes to lifestyle, intellect or religious ( or lack thereof ) views.

Travel is an interest. Need to be moving a lot.

Saturn conj Asc: Does not make you ugly. Get that out of your head now.

Saturn is inhibiting and restrictive. Therefore, these are reserved people. They are not the life of the party. They will go to a party, but aren’t the one dancing on the pool table or running around naked. These people are usually liked by bosses and other authority figures, because they seem so responsible and level headed. These are also not people to explode in any negative emotion. They have good self discipline.

Possibly of social anxiety, but more than likely the person is just a loner or introvert. These people may not always care what they wear, just preferring a tshirt or jeans, OR they look professional and polished. Style may be elegant, black-white, and considered “boring” by more outrageous people. Elegance to some of these people.

Some people, esp women, may be self conscious about how they look. This can create extremes in how they eat, or consume drinks/food. Saturn is very socially conscious, and these women know what they look like and what they aspire to look like. They are perfectionists.

Independent and self reliant.

Uranus conj the Asc: There is something very distinct about how these people look or come off. It may be their hair, clothes, or how they present themselves. They can be either cold/introverted/weird, or outgoing/crazy/weird. Weird may have a bad connotation. Perhaps I should say quirky instead?

These people may seem abrupt and others may not understand their ways. But their ways are highly rationalized, much like the Aquarius rising. Anything weird they do is rationalized. There is a reason for their madness. Madness is thought and pondered over.

They seem friendly but in a cool way. Some people with this placement may seem cold and bizarre, but others can be very friendly. Never overly friendly, but a happy distance friendly.

People with this placement are fiercely independent. When they were little, they probably resented being told what to do. When they were learning to be potty trained, they probably wanted to do it themselves first. They resent anyone taking away their freedom.

Neptune conj the Asc: This may be similar to Pisces rising, but not exactly the same. Neptune itself is associated with deception, illusions, yet spirituality and creativity.

These are the people who are not always what you see is what you get.Some people with this placement are deceptive, showing people what they want to show or what they want to see. They show their true colors once you get to know them. However, not all of them are deceptive. Sometimes they just come off as nicer than what they really are, or weaker than what they really are. Some people just come off as innocent. That is an illusion and they may/may not realize this.

These people come off as nice or kind. Sometimes it is genuine and sometimes it is not.

Creative. Sensitive. Musical. Artsy. Absent minded. All words to describe this placement.

This placement may make someone seem unreliable. Perhaps people with this placement might be late to engagements at time because they loose track of time quite a bit. They may not purposely be unreliable, but don’t always realize what they do.

This placement is also associated with people who have stalkers, esp in females. It can make them appear very feminine, very sexy, very vulnerable, very emotional etc and this can be appealing to weird men who want to harm them. This does not mean you’re going to get raped, but perhaps you had weirdos in your life that you’d rather not be there.

I suggest martial arts.

Pluto conj the Asc: These people come off as intense. That is the best way to put it. They may not always appear nice at first, but intimidating and a “dont mess with me” look on their face. You might feel like they can see right through you.

There might be something mysterious about these people. They are unlikely outgoing, but rather a loner or introverted type. In other ways, this can manifest n an outgoing type of person who has a lot of power and prestige. Some celebs with this placement have people who are downright obsessed with them and what they do.

There is a sexy aspect to this placement. These people might come off as sexy without even trying to, or trying. They might get suggestions they do not really need or want.

Some people with this placement might have power oozing all over them. They have influence, even if they are a but a child. It is easy for them to get their way and what they want. They are determined and forceful.
