Does your Ascendant or your Chart ruler's placement determine whether you are an introvert or an extrovert or not, or not? I've heard theories about dominance of the Northern/Southern hemisphere influencing this trait, but what if there is an equal amount of planets in each hemisphere?

Yes. I am a pisces ascendant and I am an introvert but then again I have sun in virgo, saturn in the first house.

I have most planets on the upper part of the chart (south) and it does not make me more extroverted but it makes me care more about my reputation than my family/background.

I would have been confident and could have used my social skills better if only saturn wasn't in my first house opposing my moon and venus in libra 7th house.

Yes, I absolutely agree that your chart ruler's placement and its condition in the natal chart contribute to how you're perceived on a baser, immediate level in social situations. If you tend to be outgoing, energetic and charismatic, you're more likely to have a well-aspected ASC from Venus, Jupiter and/or the Sun. I've also seen extroversion and popularity come with having a Fire rising than any other element. Socialization probably comes even easier (and may be very important to the native) if the chart ruler is in the 5th or 11th. If you have any or all of these conditions, you'll probably be considered a classic extrovert or leaning toward extrovert.

To determine introversion v. extroversion, it's also important to observe the 5th and 11th houses, what planets are posited there, what the house rulers are doing.

I have Scorpio rising with Pluto in Sagittarius and Sun trine the Ascendant.

I have another Scorpio rising friend and he is very introverted; he doesn't like meeting new people much.

Personally, I wouldn't consider myself that introverted. I don't mind meeting new people and I am quite talkative when it suits me. (Moon conjunct Mercury in Leo)

Aspects to the ASC have a HUGE effect on the personality imo

Libra Asc., sq Venus.
Asc. conj. saturn, pluto and mars, trined by Sun in Aquarius.
Moon is pretty lonely in the 12th, squared by neptune.

I am mostly introverted.
I find social interaction exhausting, but I am incredibly interested in people.
Specifically those who suffer - I am drawn to suffering, and how to ease it, and it is this that draws me to others.

I don't really experience much pleasure from parties, groups, gatherings or female friends.

I don't mind big gatherings provided it takes place in wide open spaces with many exits, but I am essentially a cave dweller at heart.

My conscience, and will to make a difference in the world, is what gets me out, rather than the extravert's pleasure-seeking.

And honestly, sometimes I don't know what I want to be (Extroverted or Introverted). It honestly depends on who I'm around.

Sun sq Asc
Moon Sq Asc
Chrion sq Asc
Neptune Conj Asc
Uranus Conj Asc


But, I have Venus trine Jupiter exact. So sometimes you might find me somewhere at huge parties lol

CAP Asc checking in! I totally relate to what you are saying. I actually have all of the above aspects except Moon is conj ASC and Chiron opp ASC. Sometimes I am the life of the party, but other times I just want to be alone in my thoughts.

Me three! I'm Cap Asc with moon square Asc and I totally relate to this. I actually had this conversation only today.

Although I'm very sociable and love to meet new people I think that I need more time to reflect than most. I think I remember learning something about a scale for being extrovert or introvert and most people would not be one extreme or the other.

Taurus Asc and Cap sun. Mars in 12H so a lot of energy goes into being alone. I need my alone time otherwise i get cranky and annoyed, and other times I'm just absorbing other people's emotions. Love adventuring and going to live shows, but after three days at a festival or event, i just want to hide away for a while.

Gemini rising with Moon in the 1st house, Mars and Jupiter trine ascendant and Saturn sextile ascendant.

I LOVE parties. I love meeting new people. I'm just that girl who talks to everybody and enjoys having fun and doing crazy stuff. I love the company of other people especially males (not gonna lie) because they're really fun to be around with.

But I do go introvert when I feel like I need space and time away from people (Cancer moon). I also do that when I'm lazy and unmotivated.

I am slightly more extroverted than introverted…. I started out as highly extroverted, then I became very introverted in school and because of many things, but now I am starting to feel better about myself again, and I have become much mor outgoing the last few years

I am cancer ascendant sextile sun, conjunction jupiter and trine pluto

I'm literally 50/50. Equally introverted & extroverted. It basically alternates and depends highly on the situation.

I take a while to warm up to a situation or surroundings, but once I'm comfortable, it's on!

scorpio rising 1st house pluto, moon/saturn square ascendant

Definitely introverted naturally

But I can definitely act extroverted because of my aqua moon, libra venus and gemini mars

I struggle with this. Sometimes I'm totally extroverted, sometimes I'm totally introverted.

Scorpio Asc, Sag sun.

4 personal planets on the north hemisphere.

Cancer Sun, Pisces Moon.

Libra ASC, conjunct Chiron and NN, trine Uranus, Mars and Venus, opposite Saturn, square Jupiter, Mercury and Sun.

I am very, very, very introverted. I score 99 or 100 percent introverted on every test, and I am so closed off to other people that they get offended from how cold I am.

Your Sun sign, is it Libra or Aries?

This is such a hard one for me lol.

I feel like an introvert but every time I take a test I score extroverted (lthough only by a few points) and literally everyone I know (whether personally or just met) swears up and down I'm really outgoing and extroverted. So I guess I'm just an extrovert with introverted tendencies?

I'm a Cancer Asc with Leo Moon in 1st as my chart ruler.

I like to observe people and get a "feel" for my surroundings and I'm often quiet but I'm not afraid at all to just say hi and introduce myself to someone and work my way from there. I usually just start off talking to one person though lol and then I work my way around if I can (idk if I'm explaining this well).


But, I also have tendencies where I'm just fine not texting, talking to, or contacting anyone. And I'm not really big into sharing things on social media (I often deactivate my stuff). So yeah..

The majority of my planets are in the northern hemisphere with Sun/Mercury/Venus/Chiron/NN in 4th in Libra (except my Virgo Sun), and then I have Mars/Jupiter/Pluto in 5th, Uranus/Neptune in 7th and Saturn in 9th.

*Edit: I see someone mentioned having Venus/Sun/Jupiter aspecting the Asc and I have Sun quintile Asc and Jupiter bi-quintile Asc.

As far as m chart ruler (Moon) aspects:
- sextile Venus
- square Mars
- trine Jupiter
- sesquiquadrate Saturn
- opposite Uranus
- trine Pluto
