Basic astrology
Now basically your sun sign is your 'core beliefs, values, ego' and Asc is your physical body, mode of expression and mask and persona that we all wear and hide behind, but definitely not what's going on underneath. What's going on underneath is your Sun sign. Moon sign, house placements and aspects describe your emotional and intuitive responses, also describes your view of your mother, as saturn describes your father by sign and house position.

So, think of a glass milk bottle the bottle is your Asc and your sun the milk, but the milk still has to 'come out' through the glass neck of the milk bottle....

Now aspects within a natal chart represent 'facets' of our personality, because we are all multifaceted beings. What these do is 'break down and compartmentalise' these facets into smaller bite size chunks. This does take quite a lot of self analysis and objectivity to 'see yourself' and why you do certain things and behave in certain ways. Actually it can be quite good therapy...

Remember back to your school days an opposition is 180', square 90', trine 120', and sextile 60' Now challenged aspects are conj (depending on the planets, cos some like each other and some really don't) squares and oppositions. Easy aspects are conj (if the planets get along) eg: Jupiter conj Moon, sextile and trine. Quincunx is inbetween (depending on the planets) causes health strains and unresolved or hard to balance planets/energies.

So, just to expand on things further then, you are NOT the sum total of your Sun sign or Moon sign. there are 10 planets in a natal chart and they could potentially be in any one of 12houses

You cannot explain just sun or moon in aquarius without explaining this--

Planets are modified by signs, where they express are houses and how they express are *aspects*

So,unless you have a chart to upload, it's hardly worth trying to explain the differences here as

1) Sun conj Saturn would not express as a typical Sun aquarius it would feel more like a capricorn/saturnian. So doesn't matter what sun sign we are talking about, ANY SUN sign would be seriously modified by a malific OUTER planets ie: Saturn, uranus, neptune and pluto in hard aspect ie: conjunction, square 90', 180' opposition.

2) Moon conj an outer malific has the same conundrum and problems. Without seeing how this planet is aspected and where is posited is 2/3 of the equation and SIGN is 1/3
