horoscopes and ascendants?

Question

Does anybody other than me find that when you read your horoscope the prediction for your ascendant makes much more sense than the prediction for your sign? Why is this?

And please if you don't believe in horoscopes don't post here.

Answer 1

Because your ascendant is the mask you wear

If you were to think of your Sun sign as your soul -- your inner personality and potential -- and your Moon sign as your heart -- your emotional core -- then you could say that your Rising sign or known as Ascendant is your physical self or the face you present to the world.

Answer 2

Yes. You are dead on. Horoscopes when drawn up properly go by your ascendant sign and not your sun sign. Because once your ascendent is known than all the rest of the signs usually fall into place around the 12 parts of life.

For example for a Virgo rising person it would go like this:

Virgo 1st house - outer personality
Libra 2nd house of money
scorpio 3rd house of communications
saggitarius 4th house of home
capricorn 5th house of recreation/romance
etc etc etc.

So say for example that today the moon is in libra together with venus in libra. then that would affect virgo rising people in a finacial type way. Good news concerning finances will come about. This would be only for Virgo rising

But for the for the gemini rising person this libra moon/venus aspect will place it usually in their 5th house.

Gem 1st, cancer 2nd, leo 3rd, virgo 4th, libra 5th.

The the gemini should find this day very relaxing as he or she will do some kind of recreation today...somekind of hobby that they like or see a movie or go out to a bar with friends or perhaps plan a special get together with a sigficant other or receive a wonderful display of playfulness and affection from a signficant other that is not normal in a sense.

Anyway each ascendent outs this venus/moon in libra aspect in a different area of the chart. With sun signs alone there is no way of knowing where the house placements are.

but if I were to do a personal horoscope I would need to take your sun sign, moon sign and other planets into consideration for better accuracy

I hope this helps

P.S. Elana you have no idea what you are talking about!! You probably only know astrology by means of the horoscope section of newspapers and magazines. That is not true astrology. That is bullsh** astrology in my opinion. Get a true astrology chart done first than come back and say something until then shut -up and stay out of horoscopes section. They weren't asking if you believe in this stuff they were asking something totally differnet.

Answer 3

Most Sun sign astrology articles in magazines take your Sun sign and treats it as if it was your ascendant ( rising sign).

This takes astrology very far away from its meaningful roots, but has some vague astrological links. It beats chopping up old astro readings and re-gurgitating them at random, which some do.

Answer 4

Well I'm a Leo rising and I've been guessed a Leo lots of times, but never my true sun sign!

Why is it, I'm not sure but rising is how we carry ourselves and interact with the world directly.

Answer 5

There is no credible evidence that the Sun's
position in the zodiac at the time someone was
born has any effect on their lives.

Astrology is mysticism.

Why are you promoting mysticism? It simply
means that people stop asking why or how or
what and leaving issues up to things that they
can't control.

It is socially destructive.

Why are you being socially destructive?

And yes, I will post here.

The promotion of Astrology is socially destructive. I'll object if you talk about promoting drug use too!

Answer 6

Only the Chinese horoscopes are the truth. Buy a book now and you will find it is so very true.All the rest pale in comparision.

Answer 7

it depends on which decant your sign sun is in.....and how strong your ascendant is....the earlier it is , the stronger the influence
