Not if it's ill dignified. It's damn weak.Mars in Aries conjunct Aries ascendant, yeah, now that's strong. Venus in Libra conjunct ASC in Libra with no bad aspects. Beautiful. IP: Logged |

You do realise that having Libra rising is,de facto weak? As opposed to... Aries? Have you seen people with Venus Libra rising,with no bad aspects? IP: Logged |

Well actually it's not weak because the Ascendant is the strongest in Fire or Air. And most appealing. And no I haven't but I'm a good enough astrologer to know what results that would produce. Just like my Capricorn Moon is not well placed. It's still not that bad because the Moon works better in Water and Earth regardless. IP: Logged |

Well if you think about it the physical body was made for being 'out going' masculine if you will and thats why the ascendant is the strongest in a masculine sign. That you can ask any astrologer.IP: Logged |

And Moon works well in Earth/Water by the rules of triplicity.(not that flawed a notion,but bit lazy and unsatisfactory.
Any position can be 'going out' and masculine since it deals with existence = expression of life.IP: Logged |

And we are therefore validating everything that website states.
Dignities are the way we see people's strengths and weaknesses.
It's how Horary astrology is used. It's how all of astrology is used. This reminds me of the Simmons sisters. I watched them last night and the one sister is so much prettier than the other one. I bet my money the pretty one is a Libra ASCendant. Her sister is probably a Water ascendant. IP: Logged |

They aren't saying every libra rising is going to be perfect. Everyone is aware the whole chart must be taken into consideration as I have said a million times already. They talk about dignities with all planets and ascendants. You must decipher the whole chart.As for me, my Libra ascendant is trined by Venus in Gemini. IP: Logged |

I just want to add that even if you have the "ideal" Rising sign and good aspects to venus, if you have aphrodite conjunct saturn, you will always "feel" unattractive deep down inside. (Even if you're not.) IP: Logged |

People need to stop saying that if you're a certain asc, that automatically makes you good looking. That's utterly presumptous. There are good looking, and not so good looking people of every asc. -_-I've seen not so attractive libra risings, and also not so attractive leo risings, sag risings.

Thanks to all who wanted to cheer me up! Thanks Ami, very sweet of you to say that.  Sorry for not writing sooner, I just couldn't deal with it yesterday. But you're all missing the point. I wasn't seeking validation from anyone. I look just fine and I am aware of that. I don't have insecurities when it comes to my looks. I chose my rhetoric to get to the core of athenegoddess's bias. Maybe it sounded a bit polarizing.
What really bothers me though is the idea of good and bad in astrology. All these age-old stereotypes and gender-related biases really bother me. I wish astrology to grow out of it since alot of women are great astrologers in this day and age and can finally put away all these patriarchal ideas of weak and strong. Yes, the energies are different when related to sign and planet but that doesn't translate to 'bad' or 'good'. Those are judgemental description which are not needed in astrology at all.
I won't leave because I actually feel that astrology has alot of amazing things to offer. And I wish to learn more without taking everything at face value. The astrological facts aren't written in stone there are alot of schools, different house system, even dignities aren't the same everywhere. http://www.astro.com/mtp/mtp64_e.htm I don't see how Rising Signs are related to dignities though since it is just the cusp of the first house and not a planet. Therefore every attempt of making this about dignities is a lost cause.
In the end it all comes down to personal preference. And though Libra Risings are charming (that's essentially the common denominator of Libra risings), they are just not everyones cup of tea. I think the most stunning people are Capricorn Rising but that doesn't make it a universal truth. I think this community is amazing and there are too many inspiring people on here for me to leave!

Whatever. Keep telling yourself that. I can name so many beautiful Libra Ascendants. If you cant take the heat get out of the kitchen. I'm not biased. I'm an astrologer who knows her stuff. And if you read anything both that website AND I have stated so many times the whole chart matters when determining a persons appeal. IP: Logged |

Why are you getting defensive?
I remember you mentioned it in another thread. Why I have the slight memory of it? You said sth about how you're good looking bc you're a libra rising (and most people don't really toot their own horn much so I somehow remembered it lol).I never said all libra risings are ugly. I just said not all are good looking. Anyway your response just now has indicated your maturity. I'm not going to respond back again. -_- SmilingHeart is so right about your bias. IP: Logged |

I am not accusing you of saying they are ugly. But I am accusing you of having some reading comprehension problems.Point is 9/10 Libra risings will be more desirable than other ascendant signs. I don't care what any of you say. And I don't recall ever calling myself good looking. However I am aware of what I am and how many men want me. And I also am aware thats because of my rising sign. Had I been born with a different ascendant, that wouldn't be the case. IP: Logged |

And the whole chart matters! Okay name an ugly Libra ascendant.
Actually that site raves about how my placements must mean I'm beautiful (as illustrated before) so this is an objective opinion. IP: Logged |
