I really am starting to appreciate being an Aries Rising.

I like the fact that my Mars is in my Gemini/3rd, I think it is backed up a lot by trine to Pluto.

I like my Mercury in Aquarius - I like how my mind works.

I like the fact that my chart is full of oppositions, I can swing both ways even though it can be a bit slippery at times.

I like the fact that I have a Libran Moon, it adds a lot of understanding and charm to otherwise a "hard" chart.

I like that Pluto is conj my DC as it gives me an ability to get through people. It also helps with my life tasks involving NN conj Vx in Scorpio/8th

I enjoy all the little quirks in my chart - Venus unaspected, Neptune singleton, OOB Mars.

I also like my Neptune in the 8th, it allows me to pick up on things.

I like that Jupiter is conj my ASC even though it makes me put on weight, it helps me deal with Sun-Saturn opposition and gives me a broader sense of humour than most.

But then again, I like my Sun-Saturn opposition because it grounds me a bit and I like my Mercury-Saturn opposition too.

Vanity aside, I love my Capricorn moon because it keeps me very grounded.

My Venus in Aries gives me tons of independence, a zest for life and athletic ability.

My Venus opposition Pluto gives me intensity, passion and a lot of exciting adventures...ahem.

I also love my Sag moon because of its emotional independence and my Sag mercury because of the neverending quest for knowledge that never gets old, and sense of humor.

I like my Venus-Mars trine as well, I feel a pretty balanced force of feminine and masculine energies and I think it makes me quite sensual.

Also, my Mars in the 5th house..makes me very passionate, sexual, creative, fun-loving.

I like my Taurus Mars, because it makes me a sensual lover.

I like my Cap Sun, because there's no question that I can't take care of myself and my kids. And, I do seem to benefit from the 'younger as I get older' thing that is said to be the blessing of Caps, especially since we're 'old little people' growing up. And it gives me the discipline, along with the Sag moon influence of get up and go of 'Just Do It' to stay in shape and the same size I was in college.

Venus conj. my Asc. I never thought I was pretty by a long shot, but I've been told I'm interesting looking and 'attractive' so I've always drawn male attention, even now at almost 50.

But I like how the more I know the more I understand about me and why I am the way I am.
Like I never believed that Virgo was anything like me. I am NOT a tidy person. I put my daughters room to shame in terms of messy lol. But to understand that I'm not just Virgo.. But Cancer Moon which explains why I'm so freaking emotional. And Sagi ASC... still haven't figured how that one plays yet.
But it's so true about us knowflakes... there are no two alike that's for sure!

My venus and juno are conjunct in the 5th house

My mars and moon are conjunct in the 8th, which I'm trying to read up about.

One of my T Squares is made up of Pluto, Venus and Mars.

I used to hate my Moon square Saturn but I realize two things. God gave me the antidote in my Sun square Jupiter. It's kind of like knowing that when God gave me lemons in one hand, he gave me cake mix in the other hand so I could make lemon cake (Angel Food Cake). I'm also beginning to love my Moon square Saturn because I'm learning that it bestows tremendous ambition on you.

Two of the most successful film directors have Moon square Saturn: Charlie Chaplin and Steven Spielberg. Need I say more.

I love my Neptune quindecile ASC because it's like having a natural invisibility cloak. Yes, I can vanish.

And to give the Magi a little shout out(even though my relationship with their methods is complicated, you gotta love some of their crapola )

I have...drum roll please...

A GOLDEN FLYING EAGLE!!! HOLLAAAAAA!!!!

But we all know the best relationships are complicated and conflicting. LOL!!

I love my juno sextile Ascendant-its makes me cute looking

I love my venus conjunct mars- it makes me confident with the opposite sex

My moon trine pluto. Women find me intimidating because of this. But I don't mind.

Saturn sextile Ascendant. I sometime have a very serious face that demands respect.

Venus conjunct Mars: Makes me fiery and feel sensual.

Sun trine Jupiter: Gives me a nice disposition.

Moon trine Ascendant: Makes it easy to express my emotions.

Libra rising 1st house 1st decanate.

Fire grand trine because it helps offset the stick up my arse Venus, Sun, Mercury, and MC in Virgo placements.

Sun in Virgo, because it makes me humble to offset my arrogant fire grand trine.

Sun/MC/Venus conjunct in Virgo because it shows how much I am able to help people both in my job and in general. I love helping people.

Moon in Aries in the 5th. I love having fun! I am also a kid at heart and love working with children!

So many freaking squares! It shows how much adversity I've had in my life, but it also shows how much I've accomplished and prevailed over in life.

Oddly... I love my Sun/Venus rx squaring my Chiron... It is rewarding for me to be understanding towards others and their inner wounds. In helping them heal, I often am able to heal myself.

Uranus and Jupiter conjunct in the 1st. Not only am I unique both in looks and personality, but I am often able to fool everyone else into being envious because of all the crazy things that happen to me! Really, my life isn't that eventful... It's just that when things do happen, they are the weirdest, most bizarre happenings that usually prove to be fortuitous!

I like having a pitcher chart, with almost all of my planets in the upper houses and then my Pisces Jupiter in my 2nd House (3rd House on an Equal House chart, which makes sense since I'm a writer, but either way.) That Pisces Jupiter means I'm happiest and feel most secure/expansive when being compassionate and giving to others. It's my secret lifesaver. When I start to get moody or dark, I have learned that turning my energy to Pisces things--following my intuition, letting my ego dissolve,spiritual pursuits and operating out of love--saves me.

I like having Saturn as my chart ruler. I've gotten friendlier with crusty old Saturn and his tough-love approach.

Sun Semisextile Venus
You are loving and well-loved by others, and have a strong need for kindness, friendship, and affection. Your artistic and creative powers are also well developed and you do everything in a harmonious, gracious, pleasing manner. Aesthetics are very important to you. Your personal appearance and attractiveness are also very important to you

Sun Opposite Jupiter
You aim high, dream big dreams, and have a tremendous sense of what is possible for you to achieve. Overconfidence, grandiosity, lack of humility, and/or extreme discontent in modest circumstances may be your faults. Generally, however, your great expectations and enterprising spirit lead to success. Business, especially when there is an element of risk and speculation, suits you well

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sun Semisquare Node
Develop true self confidence and the willingness to put yourself "out there", to be seen and to shine. Be willing to take on a leading role, to be a hero, to be a protagonist in your own story by cultivating the courageous, active, and positive masculine qualities you possess. Doing creative work that you are proud of - anything that comes from your heart and bears the stamp of your individuality - is important. Also, being a mentor, a helpful, encouraging force in the life of someone less experienced than you are is a way for you to grow and become more whole yourself

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sun Square Midheaven
You really want to make your mark on the world in some way, to achieve stature and recognition for your contributions, and you're not willing to take a back seat -- at least not for very long. In order to achieve your aims, though, you'll have to compromise and "give" more than you may be willing to. Thus, conflicts with others, particularly important men in your life, may arise. To accomplish your goals, you may have to put aside some of your self-centeredness, and learn from these men! However, you may also be required at some point to make a break in order to stand on your own and fulfill your own destiny

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Moon Conjunct Venus
No matter how you appear on the surface, you have a very soft heart and others can always appeal to your sympathetic, affectionate side. You especially care about the needs of children, mothers, and families, and you want a love partner who values marriage, home, and family as much as you do. Unkindness or harshness offends you very much

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Moon Trine Uranus
You are uninhibited and spontaneous and will often do something unexpected or humorous in order to loosen people up and get them out of their ruts. You crave emotional stimulation, excitement, surprises, and anything new. You love to feel free and unfettered.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Moon Sextile Midheaven
Your profession is apt to be related to children, women, consulting, nourishing, or to the use of your nurturing, emotional, childlike qualities in appealing to the public in some way. You do well in any business that involves responding to people's emotional needs and tastes.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mercury Conjunct Ascendant
You are mentally active and restless and you like to talk, communicate, and exchange ideas with others. You express yourself well, and are suited to activities that involve presenting ideas to other people, such as teaching, sales, etc

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Venus Conjunct Ascendant
You have a friendly, affectionate attitude towards others and a great deal of personal charm. Your attractiveness is one of the first things others notice about you, and is probably something you care a great deal about. You get along well with people and know how to please them. You have a good sense of style and beauty.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Uranus Sesquiquadrate Ascendant
You seem quirky, unusual, offbeat and "different". Sometimes it seems you are trying to provoke people and upset the status quo just by being yourself. You tend to be restless, excitable, and somewhat ungrounded or nervous as well.
