I've had chronic suicidal ideation since August of 2000 (born dec 1984), and pretty severe depression most of my life. On the plus side my most recent lucid dream told me this was my last incarnation. It doesn't change me wishing my soul didn't exist.
I think it would make sense that Cap Ascendants would be old souls. From what I understand, the last lives are the hardest. Too much karmic baggage, I suppose. It also strikes me to see many of the people who replied have Nodes direct. I read it is an indication of that too. That we're at the end of a reincarnation cycle or something like that. Don't think I wish that my soul wasn't created, just wish not to be here. I find life unbearably painful at times. It might have to do with my job and seeing ill people every day. I don't know. However, I've always tried to avoid that pain, through detachment, alcohol or too much imagination. Nothing works... The cruel reality can never really be erased from the mind of a Cap Asc.

I know but ideation about it is similar to wishing you hadn't been born. I'm not planning on it. Sorry if I said too much my brain is getting all weird of late. IP: Logged |

What an elitist concept. This is bunk. There's no way to discern soul age by your chart. Some astrologers speak in that manner, even those who charge the big bucks, even those who have written best-selling books, but there is no way to tell such a thing from the natal.

I think this is true in my case. I don't think I really wanted to be born, but knew I had to. Judging from 5 retro planets and Nodes direct in motion I had a lot of debts to pay. Currently progressed Mercury also turned retro, so make that 6. I contemplated suicide many times, but know I'm not gonna do it from the same sense of duty as I am committed to solving my issues and pay my dues. I don't think I would have been able to keep going if it weren't for my Cap Asc, which is a blessing and a curse at the same time. Probably the most awful Ascendant to be born with.
The guy I like has capricorn rising and he feels he doesn't belong in this world and is going to die young. He also has significat pholus aspects. IP: Logged |

I was under the impression that I was a Cap ascendant for many years,until getting a look at my birth certificate and seeing i was born at 7:45 pm not am,so I am now a Leo asc,But still,and will always be a Capricorn sun.I have always been an "old soul",looking much younger than I actually am,though feeling like i have a soul that is very very old and been through a lot.I've been bombared with a lot of heavy obstacles,even as a young child.Responsibility is my middle name,and everything i do is for "the greater good" never for myself..so,having my asc change,didn't change much about my life.I'm still the same way,and as much as i'd like to break free and frolic in the world,and step away from burdens,I always get pulled back to take care of the blunt of everyones problems,especially in my family.I like to be needed,though sometimes i wish i could step away,at least temporarily.I do sometimes think to myself,am i born to serve others? is that all i am for? and sometimes question if thats all i was born for. Though heres to better days for all of us! cap asc and those who think they are,and those who are not.IP: Logged |

Really? I don't think there is *no way*, it just hasn't been raised in our collective consciousness. There are countless methods to dig into a natal chart if one is willing to look beyond the surface and the obvious. But you are making a valid point, in that this information is quite useless. Regarding of the age of one's soul, we're all here as human beings, with equal rights and obligations, and it's the only experience that should matter at the present time. I guess I'm struggling with accepting this and still wish to somehow dodge my responsibilities and play the harp on a pink cloud or something. But it is wrong and this is why I was born with a Cap Asc. To take on responsibility... *sigh* IP: Logged |

Well, Starzy, the shortcoming to being human is that we have an ego. And the ego WANTS and NEEDS this and that, ultimately recognition. I don't believe in killing the ego, nor in selfless sacrifices. But I do think that being in a position of service to others is truly a gift, so long as you make sure you don't neglect your needs as well. IP: Logged |

I think I'm having a hard time with my Ascendant because I have Aquarius intercepted in the 1st. For many years, I have been just Cap, despite having a Fire-dominated chart. But for some reason, the Aqua intercepted is starting to come forth. The rebel in me, the free spirit who goes against duty and responsibility, the Ram instead of one of the sheep in the herd.

I donīt believe that every Cap-ASC is necessarily an "old soul", but maybe they feel older than many others, because they feel they have so much responsibility on their shoulders?IP: Logged |

Yes, Ceridwen. As I said, it is the attitude we have towards life that is really the problem. Everyone goes through some sort of hardship in life, it's inevitable, bad transits happen even to very good charts, but every person sees it a certain way and reacts to it accordingly. IP: Logged |

Yes. Very true. These are typical teenage problems.

If you are unhappy with your job, change your direction to something lighter. You will be happy you did it. You probably stick around in this job out fear. Make a decision out of love and change your life . Maybe your karmic lesson is to achieve a balance between responsibility and fun.

It's not that I'm unhappy with my job, quite the opposite. It gives me a sense of inner contentment, knowing that I'm making my own contribution on this planet, though small, but I try to give my best with my patients. It's just the logistics behind it and how the health care system works that gets to me. There are things I have to do that I dislike in order to get my job done, things that eventually take their toll on me, at least from time to time. IP: Logged |

Cap ascBeen a .. not easy life at times... Not "hard" persay, except for this past year. But the rewards to be.. reaped (?) are amazing if you stick to it. need something in your chart to allow for persistance. I just. did. not. give. up. this past month and now have 3 jobs, haha. although sometimes still feel like I was not meant for this world and scorp sun (obsessed with aspects of death) does not help either.

Hi Hera, I completely understand what you are saying as I am case manager and is gratifying but it takes a toll on me because I feel like the system sucks and don't really want to be part of the system but at the same time I like helping others and feeling like I am contributing.

my guy is a Cap AC. he kind of has this "resigned" attitude towards life, though he is funny, energetic (before things got horrible, but we'll get out of it), creative etc. etc. it's not like he is suffering so much he wishes he was never born, or that he feels worthless. it's just a little cynic in him that gives him this attitude that it would have been perfectly cool if he wasn't born. it's not necessarily depressing.IP: Logged |

I've heard about that. People have complained about this ascendant. I met an older guy who was cap rising Sag sun and Taurus moon. what a messed up combination. His life is hard he has adult ADHD. He spends moving from homes being homeless in between. he gets into a lot of fights at our local open-mike than he takes responsibility for it when he didn't even start them!He even appears Goaty looking. I'm going on but seriously a lot of these folks I know look like goats, sound like goats and life is hard for them. Had one at work who whined about how he's forced into responsibility. I have AC sag/sun scorp/moon taurus and ADHD. and cappy in my first house. When I see people like this theirs this voice inside saying "THIS IS YOUR FUTURE IF YOU DON'T DO WHAT YOU NEED TO DO" The main reason I don't drink/smoke/do/drugs/party hard. Discipline is important.

I am 17 years of age and I remember the plane of existence where I was at before I was born into this life. It was a beautiful planet that had flowers and the sun never went down, it was misty in a way also.
I do not know where this place was but I always ran from one end of the field to another all day long and the sun never went down. There were babies there who had wings and a woman who cared for us and we planted flowers; I was very playful and actually hurt the other babies feelings but not on purpose, I just was a free spirit.(Aries Moon) I got lonely in this place and i longed to be born but as the date for my birth became nearer, I didn't want ot be born because i remembered what life was like because I have been reincarnating for a very long time now. I have bits and pieces of memories from Egypt and other places. I was born a few days late as well and had I been born on the date I was supposed to be born i'd be a Leo , totally unlike the sun sign I was in my recent past life, I was a Capricorn and died at age 12. The ironic part? I have Cappy Rising w/ Neptune and Uranus conj. too and Aries Moon/8th House Sun.Remembering how I acted in that plane makes me believe that we actually are already our signs long before we even step into our lives. :3 I think that we actually influence the rising/placement of our planets based on things we feel and have felt for centuries; somehow we send a ripple effect and we are designated to be born on a certain date at a specific time. I know that it is extremely hard... i've gone through bouts of depression since my birth and it got very bad when I was 13-15... I have hard Mercury aspects to Saturn(opposition) which probably causes this state of mind and from age 13-15, My 11th House Scorpio Pluto transited to my 12th thus making an already bad situation worse. I was in a spiritual depression and my beliefs, or so what I thought were my beliefs were shake up and burned down. I am on a spiritual journey. Now it's in my first house. Through astrology I am learning to work with what I have cultivated through all of my lifetimes of existence for a greater meaning. I hope I helped :3 <3 Hug IP: Logged |
