A young woman I've known since high school has her Pisces Sun conjunct my ascendant. It's a 12th/1st house blend, and when we reunited for the first time in about 11 years (since our 5 year high school reunion), she invited me over to her home and showed me all of her memorabilia from her days of teaching, etc.. I felt like I was in her private sanctuary (12th house side of things), yet she seemed completely at ease and herself disclosing all of it to me (1st house). She'd later tell me "Isn't it great when you can just be yourself?" thinking I felt 100% comfortable being myself around her--not entirely, but I didn't know how to break that to her gently.

In other words, contrary to quite a lot of what I'm reading online about how the 1st house person can be themselves around the Sun person, I'm finding that the opposite is the case.

When their Sun is in my 1st, they usually see me as a good friend, someone they can relate to, someone they can be themselves with. And the reverse is true: when my Sun falls in someone's 1st house, I feel comfortable with them, I am not afraid of being myself and I feel like they can understand me better than others - generally.

I've had the same experience, several times.

So, the Sun person tends to relate to the ASC person more, in my experience.

"lose their filter" is a very good way to put it!

There are other aspects, however, which could also contribute to the above.

i feel the same about a guy. Also I felt like I saw sides of myself I have never really seen before, did hardly know where there. And just really felt even more myself than before. Actually I felt more like my "inner child". LOL

His Sun-Moon-MC in my 1st house; his Mercury conjuncts my ASC.

I find Cafeastrology's description for the Sun person applies to me as I am both the house and the Sun person - one feels more self-aware, valuable, recognised.

"You energize and stimulate your partner, making him or her more self-aware. In turn, you feel more valuable, recognized, vital, and important as a result of your partner's reactions to you."

"When your Sun is in your romantic partner’s first house, your partner sees you as a very interesting and highly attractive. You can exert a great deal of power and influence over your partner’s self esteem, his or her creativity, and ability for confident self-expression. You will find for good or ill that you get more of whichever of your romantic partner’s qualities or faults you place your attention on. Choose wisely. When your romantic partner’s Sun is in your first house, your sense of self can get muddled up. Your partner has many of the qualities that you desire to emulate. You are likely to experience the feeling that you are more or less confident in yourself and your relationship according to your relationship partner’s opinions about you. http://www.douban.com/note/230204492/

This was verrrry true for me.

I think the Sun recognizes themselves in the ASC person, so they feel safe letting their guard down, but because they're instantly comfortable, they don't feel the need for an invitation and it's almost like the 1st house person has no choice lol. They're standing in your personal space and generally that's not unwelcome since they seem to fit in there, but there's not really the barrier that usually exists if the house person wants to keep some things to themselves. In my situation I felt like I couldn't hide anything from him, like he would always just know where I was coming from or what my motives were. And also that he saw and accepted me on whatever level without me having to explain anything (like saw and understood my flaws but still believed in my full potential type thing). So because of that what he thought about me mattered and impacted me more than I think it usually would. Like I guess I felt like since he understood me so deeply, if he believed something about me it was probably true...

For example, one of my old best friends had his Ascendant in Libra conjunct my Sun in Libra. He was like in awe of me sometimes, at how connected we were, my personality, and how our compatibility seemed to be off the charts. That feeling wasn't as strong for me being the Sun person. His Sun was in my 12th house so maybe that's why our connection felt stronger for him then for me. He definitely let it all hang out around me, which until I got to know him better I couldn't reciprocate. I felt bad sometimes because it wasn't as easy for me to feel 100% comfortable around him when we first became friends. I just needed to get to know him better. But over time, I managed to meet him on his level and we became best friends. It was one of the strongest friendship connections I've ever had though.

I just met this guy and he really likes me. My Sun and Mercury is in his 1st House. It's really easy for me to make him laugh really hard. I enjoy this aspect. I think it's cute.
