Feel The Rhythm: Ascendant Connections

Never underestimate the power of the Ascendant! It may be easy to underplay, or even dismiss altogether, the Ascendant’s role in interpersonal relationships when we think of the Ascendant as the “mask” we wear when we meet others. If the Ascendant is a mere mask, shouldn’t it only be important at the very beginning of a relationship? We don’t think so. In fact, we feel that the Ascendant has an ongoing, vital role in relationships of all kinds, including long-lasting, one-to-one relationships. We have found that interplays between Ascendants can be the source of basic conflict or harmony, on a body level.
Remember as well that the Ascendant defines the Descendant, the latter being a greatly sensitive relationship point in the natal chart.

The "... You are Made for Me: The Vertex ..." section just killed me. Yup, you guessed it - I need to go take a nap or something. (Plus the "Nodes" section too)...

I have been going over the synastry and composite with a very special guy I knew years ago - while it was a plutonic frendship (although I admit having had a sexual attraction to him - I was young and impressionable; he was older, confident and very very talented...had had very nice shoulders that a Gem couldn't help but noticed )), I consider him a soulmate - not only did he has an immense impact on my life for the better I had a very painful premonition of his death and I have vivid dreams of him regularly til this day, even though he has passed away several years ago. It's like he still very much apart of my life now. Anyhow, both the synastry and composite are very intense and have very clear and strong configurations. In the synastry, his Sun creates a kite with my grand trine with my Uranus as the focal point, and then his moon also makes another kite with my Mars as the focal point. Also we have conjunct ASC's, and my Sun and Mercury fall in his Sun/moon midpoint (he was an Aries with Leo moon - heh, a wonderful man...but no sort supply of ego). And in our composite, there's a kite configuration, with Neptune in 3rd house oppo a tight Sun/Merc/Ven/Moon conjunction-stellium in the 9th house as the focal point, and a Pluto/Uranus conjunction as one of the other points of the grand trine. There's only two planets not a part of this kite in the composite - Mars and Saturn - but they are both aspects tightly with Neptune and/or the moon. Pretty intense.

Another synastry/composite I've been dwelling over is with a Pisces man I hope maybe one day to have a relationship with, should our life circumstances permit it. Our ASC's are also conjunct, with my moon conjunct his DESC, and his Sun conjunct my DESC. My moon's conjunct his NN, and his moon is conjunct my NN (how unusual is that??). Plus my moon's conjunct both his Sun and Venus. A mystic rectangle appears in both our synastry and composite, and there's good Pluto, Uranus and Saturn aspects. I'm hoping that a good sign that things may turn out good, even though it may take a while.

...*thinking*....I believe it was astrojunkie and I who were posting back and forth about the Vertex.....this was awhile back. I remember typing out alot of information from one of the astrology magazines I get, called the Mountain Astrologer. There was a very informative article on the Vertex and it's function in the chart. It is actually a very important and sensitive point in a chart. Always located in someone's 5th, 6th, 7th, or 8th house.....if I find the old issue, I'll type out some of the info. Very intriguing article. Hard to find good info on the Vertex though. It has to do with "fateful encounters" with people......

Here's some info for starters -

My uses of the planetary nodes have been inspired and influenced by the brilliant pioneering work of eminent astrologer, Jeffrey Wolf Green. Strong aspects, especially tight conjunctions, oppositions, and squares, of one partner's planets and/or angles to the Descending Nodes of the other's personal planets (Mercury, Venus, and Mars) are significant indicators of soul mate connection and likely involvement in previous lifetimes. The actual pre-incarnate contact between the two parties strengthens the experience of soulfulness in the relationship exactly because the source of that contact lies outside one's current bodily perimeters. This works in much the same way that meeting an old and close high school friend after an absence of some twenty or thirty years evokes not only the feelings and memories associated with those years together but also an enhanced sense of life's meaning in general through comparison of where we were then and where we are now. These contacts put us in touch with a deeper dimension of life than we could experience within either of those points in time by themselves. The reason we use only the nodes of the innermost planets is because those of the planets from Jupiter on out move too slowly to be of much use in analysis of personal relationships.

according to the article my soulmate
indicators with her altogether are

Hers to mine:

1.Ascendant oppose Ascendant ('16)
2.Ascendant contraparallel Ascendant('06)
3.Ascendant square Midheaven (2'29)
4.Midheaven ruler stationary Jupiter conjunct nadir('19) - need for activation is significantly reduced
Midheaven ruler stationary Jupiter square Ascendant(2'32) - need for activation is significantly reduced
5.Ascendant ruler stationary Neptune parallel nadir('04)- need for activation significantly reduced

6.Sun sextile Midheaven (2'00)
7.Midheaven semisquare Sun(2'20)
8.descending Venus Node conjunct Mars('20)
9.Venus oppose descending Mars Node('29)

Significant synastry planetary aspect sets:
hers to mine:

Moon conj Sun (3'56)
Saturn trine Moon ('26)
stationary Neptune sextile Moon (3'57)

Saturn conjunct Sun (2'36)- karmic connection
Moon trine Moon (1'47)

Yep definitely a strong karmic and soulmate connection according to this article. :-)

parallels are like conjunctions
contraparallels are like oppositions
They are declinations.

stationary planet is strong planetary energies. when an aspect involves a stationary planet,the aspect is stronger
