I want to know how much progressions can change one's characteristics that were printed on the natal chart.For example, I noticed that I look more Cancerian now than a Gemini rising. My face is round and I have Cancerian eyes. I'm also voluptuous and I realized I'm actually short (5'1" here). I'm still optimistic and chatty, though. It's just my appearance had changed significantly. As a kid, I used to be really skinny and I looked tall even if I wasn't. It was hard for me to gain weight or even stay at home. I was always on the go. By the time I was eleven, I started gaining weight and started enjoying being at home and sleeping in more. But I still went out with people. Most of the time, I just found comfort at home more than the outside world unlike when I was younger. Me as a kid: Me NOW: My ascendant has also progressed into Cancer. I wonder if it's relative to this change. I also noticed my relationship patterns this year has changed as well. My Venus is progressing at 29 deg Virgo--almost at Libra. It just started progressing to that degree this month, I think. I used to not care for much about being single (I still kinda do, but I kinda don't), but now, it's like I feel that intense longing for a relationship. Like I wanna experience romance and I don't care anymore if I end up getting hurt. I've been more flirty than before as well. I'm more impulsive in love now. Those are the only two placements that are changing signs disregarding the Moon since it changes every two years. It feels like progressions really make their mark on us as much as Solar Returns. What do you guys think? IP: Logged |

My Venus is about to progress into Libra too... it's at 28 Virgo. I think I'm feeling the transition already, I suppose because it's near the cusp. I've always wanted to be in a relationship (Venus is in Leo in my natal) but my taste in relationships has changed quite a bit. I've also taken an interest in putting a lot of effort into my appearance and that's never been like me before. It's all a bit unsettling actually, I'm not that fond of big changes.Natally I have my ASC in Taurus but my prog. ASC is in Gem. I've always thought my body language was more Gem-like than Taurean. I'm talkative too, and not at all stolid. I wonder if all that will change after my ASC progresses into Cancer in three or four years. I definitely think progressions are really important. I feel almost as connected to the progressed signs of my planets and points as I do to the natal ones. Also, you definitely look like a Gem ASC in the first pic and a Cancer ASC in the second one.

It can. I think progressed ascendant plays a big part in one's appearance. It gives you a time line for changes. In my life, it has. Mine will switch again in few years to Gemini. IP: Logged |

Aha tbh I hate having progressed Cancer Asc because I think I look fat. But at least my SR ascendant is in Libra and that keeps me from being an introverted soul.IP: Logged |

I think they can affect you significantly. At least they have for me. My ascendant progressed into aqua last year and my moon as well this February. Plenty of personality and physical changes.IP: Logged |

I think it has affect physically maybe a little and more personality wise. Even if the progressing ascendant gets closer towards planets in the first house. Not saying that it completely changes you, but it does have a decent affect in my opinion.IP: Logged |

This is a very cool post! I think progressions are interesting. I can defiantly see the progressed moon in others. I never though about analyzing their physical traits. IP: Logged |

My progressed Asc moved into Scorpio about a year ago, and still, when I look in the mirror, I see a stranger--it startles me sometimes. :-\I think you look like a total Cancer in the second photo--like a sweetheart! IP: Logged |

My Progressed Asc is in 1 Degree of Gemini.I don't know if that has made me more a "chatty" person per se,as I have always liked to converse. But it has got me talking to more and more people. My Progressed Sun just moved into Aquarius (23 April 2014)and so, it may be too early to tell the difference. Progressed Moon moved into Virgo(on 28 Feb 2014) and yes, I could immediately "feel" a change in emotional perception. Transiting Neptune in Pisces has been messing with me and now I see why.It's aspecting the progressed MC by 4 Degrees: I've been so unmotivated and lethargic, I don't want to do a damn thing. This is my progressed chart; Sun 0°01' Aquarius Moon 2°12' Virgo Mercury 5°46' Capricorn Venus 24°00' Sagittarius Mars 4°55' Scorpio Jupiter 0°16' Capricorn Saturn 15°22' Scorpio Uranus 12°10' Sagittarius Neptune 0°04' Capricorn Pluto 2°04' Scorpio AS 1°53' Gemini MC 11°23' Pisces I actually think that you look like both mixed. I can see the small diminutive features of a Gemini Asc but also ,at the same time,I can also see Cancer. Weird, how I see this in both pics -even though they are years apart.

I am Libra Sun, Mercury, Venus. When i was approximately 12, my Sun progressed into Scorpio. It coincided with the first death in m family - my brother in law which i loved very much, passed away suddenly. This changed me - from happy, friendly child i became more Scorpio-like, deeper, started thinking about afterlife, reincarnation, magic, started seeing prophetic dreams, etc. I also became more and more introvert, to the point that there was times when i had only one best friend and with others talked very little. I don't know what has changed now, but i am now again very friendly, socially active and not shy anymore, have many friends and acquaintances, and i am a flirt. Sun, Venus and Mercury are still in Scorpio, with Sun-Venus approaching to natal Pluto.

Have you noticed any significant weight loss? Or have you been busy with a lot of things at once? Maybe you've been more interested in things you normally aren't interested in? The progressed ascendant should affect you in some way. I think I look way more Cancerian now also because my natal Moon is in Cancer in the first house. I honestly don't like my moon, but hey, it's part of me that I can't change. I'm still a Leo deep down in the core, though. And lol I've read Gemini risings tend to always look youthful or the same no matter what their age. I was nine in the first photo and I'm currently sixteen, which is the second photo. Not that much of a year gap, but I think have that sign for a natal ascendant is a major blessing

That's really sad I didn't know progressions could affect that much. It could be also a transit's fault.

Well, if you say so, i looked at transits at a time when i became an introvert, and yes, transit Saturn entered the 11th house. I became an extrovert again only when Saturn entered my 3rd (when it was in 2nd, i was in some sort of transition period). It took nearly 8-9 years, jeez. IP: Logged |

How about the Pluto transits? Was it in your 4th house or 8th house?

@ Solar - both Gemini and Cancer rising are beautiful so you shouldn't worry!I just progressed into Aries rising after having Pisces rising for so long. I am not happy about appearing like an Aries rising personality because I find them a bit brash but looks wise I hope Aries rising is better because I didn't look so great for the time ASC was progressed in Pisces. (I was born Aqua rising). IP: Logged |

Well,at the moment, I have the radio, computer and television on-all at once. Lol. Its difficult for me to pen many ideas that I have; they don't stay in my head long enough for me to develop them into anything. I haven't noticed any significant weight loss(I'm quite slim as is and so I don't desire to lose any) but I do see that Gemini Asc people are usually tall. Is it too late to hope and wish for a growth sprout at 30? I also have natal Moon in Cancer btw and I think that is the reason as to why your face appears round. The Moon does affect physical appearance too-especially in women. In my case, its through my eyes.My head is leaning towards being oval. Or maybe it is round? Ehhh, I don't know. IP: Logged |

My ascendant still hasn't progressed anywhere out of Aquarius. But I've a whole lot of other progressions. My Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars have progressed into Capricorn.- I gained weight when my Moon progressed into Taurus opp natal Jupiter. - Lost drastic weight as my progressed ascendant got closer and closer to natal/pr Saturn - Got into my first 'proper' relationship when Moon progressed into Gemini and opp natal Mercury(5H ruler)/Venus and conj. natal Snode. It's my longest romantic relationship. At the same time, Pr. Venus/Mercury were at 29 Sagittarius. I guess that brought an end to my cycle of bad relationships. There are other things...but I cant see them in progressions. IP: Logged |

My ASC has progressed from Libra to Scorpio and I really feel it, now that you all mention it. I am much more of a hard azz. I am still sweet due to the Cancer Moon but if someone won't stop messing with me, they will usually regret it ------------------ Want To Ask Any Question About Bible Prophecy? Go For it.

No dumb questions can be asked... Except for those pertaining to the cusps. Astro.com - free horoscopes - extended chart selection - under "please select the type of chart" pick Progressed chart On subject, Progressed chart ruler - highly significant,a pivotal point in your life, in my experience Progressed Moon - also important; track the way it interacts with your natal placements, especially conjunctions.
