When a planet conjuncts the DESCENDANT, does it also affect the ascendant (since it opposes it)?

The Ascendant and Descendant is a circle, not a straight line. When a planet transits one end of the Asc/Des, it affects both ends: identity and relationships.

What if there's an opposition? A planet that conjuncts the ASC, and a planet that conjuncts the DESC. Do the planets still affect both the ASC/DESC?

For example, I have a Venus-Pluto opposition, does Venus affect the asc AND the desc? and so does pluto?

I think all the aspects would have to be taken into consideration. For example I have my Venus in Leo in the 7th conjunct my Descendant in Leo conjunct my Juno in Leo. I'm seeing a pattern here. I think I'd be good matched up with someone who has Leo as a dominant sign in their natal chart. Which is true however I'd really like that Fire to be balanced out by Air say Aquarius . To me these aspects to my Descendant just make me more aware of myself and draw a path to the kind of partner who would ideally suit me. I think it's great when natal planets make aspects to the Descendant. It makes it easier to understand yourself and what you attract.

Yes, if it conjuncts the DSC then it of course opposes the ASC. Look up descriptions for whatever that planet is-opposing ASC.

I think it is especially important if the ruler of a house is placed in the opposite house. For example, I have Venus in Scorpio in 1st house..Scorpio ASC, so my DSC is Taurus..Taurus' ruler is Venus.

When planet on angle,observe conjunction,not opposition; In depth search will reveal u how much every angle planet serves Asc and it in in the most personal and integral relation to Asc(just as planet on Asc is).
If planet on IC/MC,and squares or sextiles,u can interpret it as different aspect,cuz there doesn't have to be aspect between Asc/Mc,Ic/Asc...

BUT what is the different between conjunct ASC and opposition ASC?

Does that opposition influence to your outlook?

AriesSun, that's exactly what I want to know. If a planet that opposes the asc affects the asc as if it were conjunct it. Does the planet opposing the ASC affect the appearance of a person or their personality (1st house), just as much as the planet conjunct the ASC?

Ppl who have eg Moon on Dsc,do not look like those with Asc Moon. But,in the end the do have same energy- I have not met men with Mars/Pluto(even Saturn) on Dsc that haven't been seen as attractive;
