But my Virgo Ascendant in 13'27 Virgo is modified by a conjunction to Haumea in 11'16 Virgo (Haumea Rising) which also squares my Midheaven in 11'14 Gemini, and so my approach to life,how I relate to others,and my persona involves energies of Haumea.

As a transneptunian dwarf planet like Pluto, Haumea can be transformation,regeneration,evolutionary intensity,high degree of metaphysical orientation,and nonconformity (it's actually the oddest object in the solar system because it's shaped like an egg or football and has a 4 hour rotation which is very fast rotation for an object that is large as Pluto in regards to its widest dimensions). Haumea was discovered in December 2004 which was not long before transneptunian dwarf planet Eris was discovered in January 2005.

Haumea is named after the Hawaiian Fertility Creation Goddess. It's Not a Greek/Roman Goddess.It's not even a European Goddess. It could be about ethnic minorities. Haumea conjunct Ascendant could reflect my ethnic appearance. I am mixed Black,White,Hispanic,Native American. I look mixed. My looks can be hard to pinned down and confusing. Some people think that I look Pacific Islander.

These are keywords that Philip Sedgwick wrote for Haumea

Positive: Soulful confidence, an unshakeable personal inner knowing, creative, regenerative. Able to reconstruct, redefine, transform, especially regarding consciousness, willfulness and restoring rock solid integrity. Supportive. Fostering. Fertile. Creative.

Negative : Insecure and attention demanding. Dramatic. Egocentric. A bully disposition. Forces head-on collisions. Claims martyrdom and sacrifice to secure attention. Willing to attach to someone else’s momentum or allowing dependent sorts to attach to one’s efforts for self benefit (using non-paid volunteers, fans, devotees).

Alison Chester-Lambert wrote an article on Haumea. It's also in her new book,THE FUTURE IN THE STARS The Astrological Message for 2012 and Beyond. It's a book about the dwarf planets including Ceres, Pluto-Charon binary system, Makemake, Haumea, and Sedna. She believes that a 21st Century Astrology is needed to explain what's going on now in the 21st Century that we are in.

If astrologers look at me through a 20th Century astrological system, they won't fully understand me because I am very strong in the 21st century transneptunian dwarf planet energy. It would be like looking at my hair and saying that it's all kinky because my hair looks frizzy from being very dry when my hair is actually a combination of other hair formations. That's true about my hair. I said the truth about the assumptions that people have made about my hair.

any ways..I yearn for a 21st Century Astrology system. I am into progressing into the future. I don't approach life in a routine way. I have a strong dislike for routine. I approach life in a nonconformist way.

The only thing that I can relate to Virgo like is that I tend to worry easily and don't like making mistakes which I feel bad about. I am very self critical. That's not necessarily a Virgo. That could be stemming from my neurodivergent difficulties and not wanting to look stupid and incompetent. I know what it's like to be accused of being stupid because of my difficulties and the mistakes that I made because of those difficulties. If you are not like me and have gone through what I went through, I don't think you can truly understand me.

Therefore, just because we have a Ascendant doesn't make us similar.
