How we appear on the internet is different from what we appear to be in the real world, so the ascendant would not correctly describe your personality in social media, blogs, videos.
My personal theory is that all of what we appear to be on the internet is connected to mercury, whatever state it is in our natal chart.
So for example my natal mercury is in libra, conjunct sun and mars, square uranus and neptune, that would make me want to express my true personality (sun), enjoy debates and wanting to win hem all (mars), but the squares make me come off sometimes dreamy and romantic (neptune influence), quirky and my posting rates tend to be erratic (uranus here).

So how does mercury in your natal chart describe you ?

I've heard that your midheaven can come across in your internet interactions.

However, I can see the mercury playing a big part since it is communication afterall.

Yeah i've heard about the MC being our internet persona, but it just didn't describe me, neither the people around me, i found mercury to be more accurate.

what about uranus...it rules technology...right?

i'm more like my uranus than my mercury on line..

i try to be very mercury like, but my sag uranus just wants to explode everytime i'm typing that i don't always have the will power to over come it with my mercury

ETA: i re read my posts a lot...i was re reading this one and it doesn't come off as very saggy/energetic...but when i wrote it i def was.

I think this makes sense to me, my social media accounts are related to my business and I have Leo Mercury in the 2nd. I usually don't plan my posts but I do care about the image I want to give about my internet persona as aesthetics are very important to me (Venus Virgo in the 3rd).
My MC in Pisces (10th) conjunct Jupiter and makes me very lucky to have a successful business.
I'm pretty reserved about my personal life, I have only one photo of myself in all my social accounts, my profile pic. I'd love to be more open, but being sociable doesn't come easily to me, even with a strong Mercury.

I think my entire chart shows, with transits also affecting it. My Merc could be a primary aspect of what shows, though given that it's in a stellium and aligned with the sun plus a sextile to another stellium (and maybe Uranus has some influence when it comes to communicating electronically?) it's hard for me to say for sure.

When I first joined internet communities, they were typically neopagan in character, and many had at least a little knowledge of astrology. They thought I sounded Scorpio, but I think that's because of what I'd talk about (subjects many others wouldn't), though I'd think Scorpio would be too secretive (granted, I avoid allowing someone to know where I can be found, and what I'd look like, for my own safety, something that has paid off in the past, but I think that's more my Cappie Lilith in action). At the time Pluto was transiting my Sag stellium (sextile to my natal Pluto in its own stellium) and that probably (*) made me far more intense, and thus "Scorpio" sounding (when in actuality I was more Plutonian).

(* I WAS more intense, but I was also a teenager from a turbulent background and determined to do what I could to make the world better by confronting and transforming what was wrong in it.)

Though there is this idea that one is either spineless or an ******* (unsurprising given that many think in dualities), and since Libra is "diplomatic" then that means "spineless" in the minds of many, or they think we only care about fashion and the way we look, and since I was neither online (or IRL), they did not think "Libra." (And to think I'm more laid back and less confrontational than Judge Judy who has Libra sun, Merc, and Mars at the very least, along with a Pisces moon, while my Libra placements are on the Scorpio cusp and I have moon and Mars in Sag.)

I believe Linda Goodman would have instantly recognized me as a Libra sun/merc, however, and probably realized about as fast that there was some serious Sag in my chart as well.

This does make sense actually, but uranus is a very slow moving planet, so a whole generation will have the same sign, but it would affect a different area of their lives, so i'd take it as what part of your life would include technology. I guess i went for mercury because it's the planet of communication. we're using technology to communcate with the whole world (i really see the appeal of including uranus here).

What about your 3rd house and its ruler ? mine is gemini (empty) so my communication is ruled by mercury too.

Totally agree with you on the libra thing, i know many more librans that don't fit the stereotype we're given, i don't know who came up with it anyways, air signs aren't shallow or gossipy, and yeah as a sun-merc-mars in libra i'm not the most confrontational of people, but i do stand up for what's right when need be.
(ps : you should see how libra is represented in vedic, you'd be really surprised about the difference ! )

my third house is leo....i am aware of how it affects me in every day life although i don't really see it as too prominent online

sometimes i try to make it look nice, idk if that leo, but it can just as easily be attributed to many other things in my chart

-

i thought to look at the 11th house since we're talking about houses
and mine is in pisces with venus and jupiter in it
don't really think it resonates

-

i'm kinda thinking if mercury would be responsible for the original spark of an idea...
but for some reason i feel that when you sit down and start 'typing' in front of a 'screen' to people you 'can't' see...other things come into play...
don't know what but....

maybe you tell me what my writing looks like (what sign, aspect it reminds you of) and i'll see if i can find a match for it in my chart

i can tell you on my own that i organize it a lot.
i write as if i'm talking to retards and try to make it very understandable
i have a lot of energy when i type...as soon as i'm done typing i go back to being calm

if you can look for those qualities in my chart and tell me where you find them

Hmmm, I think my Gemini Moon/Mars come out a lot on here. Chatty/fun while enjoying a good debate / mental sparring here and there. I write with lots of smilies and GIFs. Far cry from my Scorpio Asc behavior in person. Not very smiley or welcoming. I am still nice and everything it just comes off...."differently" lol most ppl wouldn't even approach me to find out anyway.

I was looking for someone to mention that...yeah, I have Uranus in Cap and hear that tone in my head when I type, but I don't know what other people "hear" per se. I have Mercury in Aries that sextiles Mars, conjunct two other Aries planets and sextiles my ASC.
