What role does the ASC play in a family setting? I'm curious because the ASC tends to be the mask we wear for the world, but in a more intimate setting such as your own home does the ASC really play a role?

Perhaps it has to do with how close you are with your immediate family, because I definitely feel the difference between my family and I. I am a Libra ASC and my Mom, Dad, and Brother are all Scorpio ASC in a different decanate. I've come to realize that I am the only "stable" person in my family. I try to lead a more even-keeled life... in comparison to my family anyways. They kinda have a different flavor of insane, and they all have a power struggle with something external - usually with each other.

As for me, however, I don't feel a power struggle with my family, except my mom but it's more of her trying to control my life and not succeeding and thus making my life more difficult by manifesting situations in our home life that make it difficult for me to have any power but I still manage to get my own way... and so it goes.

My struggle is more internal (scorpio moon) and try hard to bring harmony and create at least some space of peace in the world I live in. There are times that I feel guilty for leaving my family to go do my own thing though... I'm sort of the balancer in my family and I'm sure my family would have blown each other up months ago if I'm never here to tell them all to shut the fck up when they're fighting. Their fights are insane... I can fight back... but it takes a lot for me to fight since I try to avoid a fight when it's unnecessary. But my family's a bit ruthless and they'll really rip into each other the second they get a chance.

Here's my other question: how do you think the Moon manifests itself in a family atmosphere? While I think the ASC shows more in my family since we're not as close (my thoughts on Sun later), how does the Moon show itself in a family. I really don't have much to say about this since my family is clearly not that close... but I'm interested in some of your thoughts.

And finally... the Sun. I think our Suns show with our family when we're outside of an intimate atmosphere... but when we're at home we show our moon, but in the case of a family that isn't so close, perhaps ASC show more. I dunno... I'm sort of just speaking out of my butt right now... I need to gather my thoughts a little more in regards to this topic, but I just wanted to write this out to get the conversation going...

In my birth family we have 2 uncertain Ascendants so it isn't helpful for this exercise.


In my own home, we have:

Virgo Sun, Cancer Rising, Leo Moon
Gemini Sun, Scorpio Rising, Libra Moon
Aquarius Sun, Virgo Rising, Taurus Moon
Libra Sun, Capricorn Rising, Sagittarius Moon.


Virgo Sun and Virgo Rising get upset at Libra Sun and Libra Moon being slobs and making a mess.

That's the main discord.

Whitin my closer family there are some strange coincidences, concerning the ACS of several people - and also the Chiron-placements (but this is not the topic here, I know.)

We're two kids - my brother any me - and we both have almost the exacts same ASC (3rd decanate Scorpio) - although we're born seven years apart.

Our grandmother (Dad's mother) has the same ASC as well!

My Dad's ASC (3dr decanate Cancer) is 2dg-conjunct. my Sun.

My Mum's ASC (2nd dec. Virgo) is 2dg-conjunct my MC and 3dg cj. my brother's MC.

My Mum's Sun (3rd dec. Sag.) is 2dg-conjunct my Moon.

My Dad's Moon (3rd dec. Cancer) is exactly conjunct my Mars.

Let's talk about "heritage" here ... ;-)

isn't the asc the personality that you're "pegged as" by the family? in other words your family will naturally facilitate an environment that will nurture that asc. like me for example leo rising - at the time of birth there was a wedding in the family and everyone there started shouting "its a girl its a girl" so praise from the 1st moment. grew up quite spoiled [mentality as an adult now is not spoiled but my training has taught me -no matter how much my mentality says to the contrary- that when i walk into a room others should automatically look up and be interested in what im doing and employ my exact degree of enthusiasm and when theyre not my leo side can't help but be a bit bruised because that's part of the enviroment i was given].

moon is the personality you act out from birth and then the sun is what you grow into.

the asc you revert to as a first response to distressing situations-mostly situations that would make you angry rather than hurt [my experience], even as an adult. so you can imagine that mine is to stick my nose up as high as possible into the air and completely ignore the offender. of course when im calm i can be my sun again, but the leo side no matter how much i try to fight it [and i do try to fight it] comes right back up.

if youre asking family trends? the reversed axes are popular, and switched moon for sun signs in families, also attracting the sign on your asc/dsc as family member and of course nn/sn conjunctions.
