Is that possible? My Taurus Ascendant is in the last decan putting it at 27 degrees so I know it's closer to a Gemini Ascendant, but when I looked at my chart, Gemini was above the 1st house and Taurus was above the 12th house. Is that possible? What does this mean? Will I display traits of a Gemini and a Taurus Ascendant?

It can be confusing.
Your Ascendant is firmly in Taurus.
Since its degree is towards the end of the sign
it shows 3 degrees left of Taurus and a full Gemini 1st house.
You're bound to be feeling some Gemini.

Yeah I figured that. That explains a lot in regards to my personality and considering the fact that my mother has her Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in Gemini all in her first house, I see hoe that would manifest in my birth chart. It's not uncommon for us to take some aspects and planets from our parents. My dad has a Taurus moon too.

equal is just what it implies...if you use placidus it will show the 1st house cusp as being your ascendant.

what do you mean by implies? It implies who I really am? What house system is better?

equal house implies that each house is equal...30 degrees for each house.

if you use placidus it may show other planets in different houses than equal so it may give a different reading

Yeah I use both, but I find that the equal house system is a little more accurate when it comes to certain planets in the houses.
