Venus conjunct the Ascendant indicates you have a very personable manner and social charm, which win you the approval of everyone you deal with. This is exactly the sanction you seek, for above all you want to be accepted. You find it easy to make whatever compromises are necessary to get what you desire. Fond of the finer things of life, you tend to associate with people who have similar tastes, in the hope of establishing a permanent relationship with such a person. However, you may not succeed in convincing everyone that you are only 'acting the part' of the conniver. Regardless of the image you present to observers, underneath the veneer is a calculating machine on which you count the advantages and disadvantages of every association and friendship, every social contact and social function.

You are clever in exploiting your best qualities because you know how to win admireres with your charming ways. You are usuallly well-behaved and refined, but when you can't get what you want you become extremely aggressive and demanding. Everything has to stop until your wishes are satisfied. You provoke people to take advantage of you and then are annoyed at their presumptuous attitude. Learn to tone down your self-seeking and spend some time developing the more substantial talents that will make you worthy of the gifts you seek.

Astrology aspects - Sun conjunct Ascendant

Those with Sun conjunction Ascendant often find it impossible to be inconspicuous. In their immediate environment they tend to be always noticed, wherever they go, whatever they do.

Those with the Sun rising in their charts were born at dawn, at the beginning of a bright new day. Characteristically, Sun rising people like to be in at the beginning of projects and usually have very marked leadership potential. These people tend to be self-motivated and keen to pull the strings in their life, to be master of their destiny. This person is usually in no way a fatalist.

The birth moment is often marked out in some way. Perhaps there is an especial sense of occasion as if the arrival of the child has actually created the beginning of the new day. The emergence of the new arrival is properly recognised or honored. It might just be the dawn chorus. Just imagine all the birds starting to sign at the moment you are born.

There is often an early childhood history where the child felt constantly 'watched' and noticed. Aspects to the Sun will describe the reasons for this and whether it was a pleasant experience or not. Often the child was expected to shine, or sometimes to 'perform' to others. The parents, especially the father, were usually proud of the child. With luck this should make for a self-reliant and confident individual, but aspects to the sun need to be carefully studied for confirmation of this.

In any event, those with the Sun on the Ascendant or into the 1st house tend to watch themselves a good deal; they are 'self-conscious', seeming often to have an ability to step outside themselves and look at themselves, and watch other people looking at them.

The person with Ascendant and Sun in the same sign not only usually embodies very strongly the characteristics of that sign, but also often comes across with great presence, and with authenticity - there is no persona for the individual to hide behind; or one could say that the person identifies with his / her persona.

The father was often a strong influence in the child's life, and was frequently present at the birth, even when this was a less common occurrence than it is now. The person will tend to identify with the father, his outlook, attitudes, and sometimes how he is physically. This person can 'follow in Father's footsteps'.

Where the Sun is in the 12th house, and especially when it is scarcely in orb for conjuncting the Ascendant, the individual often feels overlooked as a child, not recognised as an individual in his or her own right, in the background or behind the scenes.

Your 6th house moon, though, and your squares to Jupiter might lead to health troubles or depression at certain times. With all your earth and all that sex stuff, you'll be healthiest if sensuality, healthy sexuality, and touch are a part of your daily life. That Saturn could cause loneliness/feelings of thwarted communication.

Travel, get massages, make love, eat well, sleep well, and get lots of hugs...
