Actually not. DSC is still conjunct Sirius.

The funny thing is that Joanne Woodward was a Capricorn ASC too. I read somewhere that soul mates can be found in the same ASC. Maybe there is some truth to that. I need to look up where I read it.

I've always been the ugly "duckling" and I admit I've struggled in the past with my looks, but now that I reflect on it being an ugly duckling was kind of a blessing.

I was never pressured about my appearances or had to keep up a "high" standard about my looks or I didn't have to try in fit in with the socialites and ran with the rebels and outcasts where I found the most genuine and life time pals a ugly girl like me could have.

And because I couldn't rely on my appearance I had built other characteristics of myself up; art, writing, photography and even now I'm trying to tackle new skills, because I personally know my "Face" will not get me far and I've built up a great sense of humor over the years over my hideousness.

So no I may not be the drop dead beauty queen, but I bet I can make you laugh your ass off and put a smile on your face.<3

And speaking about the truth here. An awfully big word for a subject matter like astrology that has none scientific proof whatsoever and where everyone can come in and claim to know how it works.

And if this site is so truthful why don't they try and give the true Rising Signs of alot of people there? They distort the facts and still get a pass from you? Ok, then- I know what to think of you now.

Effects of the Ascendant

There are a couple of factors that influence how strong or weak a force in the chart the ascendant may be.[6] Firstly, it is generally believed that the closer towards the beginning of the sign the ascendant falls, the stronger it will be. This is because most of the first house will fall into that sign. If the ascendant falls late in a sign, most of the first house will fall into the following sign, and thus weaken the effect of the ascendant's power. In addition the ascendant is thought to be stronger in influence when the sun is in a weak position in the chart. For example, it is traditionally believed that the sun is in a weaker position when it is placed at the bottom of the chart, near the immum coeli or IC. This is because the sun was literally on the other side of the earth when the subject was born, hidden from view. The sun may also be weaker in influence if it is unaspected, in other words if it forms no strong aspects or connections to the other planets.
Another factor concerning the effect of the ascendant is the theory that people become more like their sun sign after around 29 years old, as they grow older and more confident and thus have less of a need to present a public face to others. It is also theorised that when the progressed ascendant moves into the following sign, it weakens the influence of the natal ascendant.

Planets and the ascendant

Planets can assume added importance in the birth chart due to their relationship to the ascendant.[7] The planet that rules the astrological sign of the ascendant is called the chart ruler, and is said to be of particular importance. So for example, if the ascendant sign is Libra, Venus will be the chart ruler, and so 'set the tone' for the chart in many ways. In addition, the planet nearest the ascendant in the first house is usually called the rising planet and has a particular importance in the chart. However, if a planet in the twelfth house is very close (within one or two degrees) to the ascendant, then it can be taken to be the rising planet instead. If a planet is actually in conjunction with the ascendant it then becomes vitally important in its effect on the personality, to the extent of being almost as important as the sun in some cases. Finally, any planets in the first house will always have an added emphasis to them.

Quite agree. I have Taurus Asc, but my Sun is in Leo and though near IC, it conjuncts my Venus chart ruler also in Leo. In addition, my MC/IC axis is much stronger than my Asc-Dsc axis cos I have Mars on MC and my nodes along that axis. So for most people, they will guess I have Leo, but rarely Taurus in my astro profile.

However, my Mercury is in Virgo, even when not in orb with Asc, and I have Saturn (but in Gemini) in 1H, so the earth traits show up in certain aspects of my life, namely in areas where I need to apply my intellect

In addition, with a prominent Venus, the Venusian traits within Taurus are also strong for me: I love my gourmet food and wine plus massages.

Just my two cents on interpretation of Asc. I think we also need to take into consideration of the whole chart (e.g. any very dominant planets which might overshadow the Asc). I am also thinking, even if a particular Asc with certain Asc aspects point towards good looks, if there are other inflicted planets, the final results might be different (e.g. accident-prone configurations resulting in scars might mar someone's looks later in life even if s/he was born good looking)

This was my post,

Anyone here who has insecurities about their appearance, just quit it. It's not cute.
Waste of time. Ignore what the astro says & focus on who you love & who loves you.
Simple!

Eg whom Westerners find attractive in Chinese are often different from whom fellow Chinese would select as attractive.

Another example, some people like sunny charming looks while others find dark intense looks more attractive and I am betting these 2 types of looks usually have different ascendants.
