So I've felt in my gut that my chart is wrong in some aspects for a very long time. In spite of Kannon's Ascendant Issues thread, I started to question my own ascendant. People always guess that I'm a Scorpio ascendant or a Virgo, which are the two signs before and after my charts stated ascendant which is Libra 25 degrees. I wanted to get everybody's input, do I look like a Libra ascendant or do I look more like a Virgo or Scorpio ascendant? I can answer any questions too

I would say you look more like a Virgo Ascendant than a Scorpio Ascendant. Maybe it's the red hair that made them think such? lol

Comparing to certain facial traits that other people I know with Virgo ascendants, you seem to match them better than Scorpio Ascendants. Scorpio Ascendants have a penetrating quality to them as if they're trying to control you through their stares.

Aquarius Sun, Merc, Venus, Uranus, Neptune
Scorpio Mars conj. Asc in First
8th House Moon opposite Pluto, Trine Uranus
Have you caught onto the predicament I'm in yet?

I was thinking that too, and I definitely relate more to being a Virgo ascendant than a Scorpio ascendant. It would also make more sense as to why Pisces suns and I don't mesh and that Virgos love me

I'm learning a bit here and there and had Kannon rectify my chart also.

Not that I'm anything close to being an expert. I would guess Scorpio. Your eyes, which I can't explain but they look Scorpio to me.
Also, the square jaw which is said to be associated with fixed modality. Virgo has a tapering jaw. A face that is sloped, bigger on top and narrower at the jaw. Other factors play into it though. Planets in the first, on asc, aspecting the asc, etc.

Do you have your chart posted in a personal readings thread? If so, link it here.

Rising signs do not have absolute definitions in terms of personal appearance, but need the context of your planetary positions. Personality is also more important.

Kannon is right.
Do you have Sun/Uranus/Pluto aspect your ASC? Those aspect will add you s squarish face even you are have changeable ASC. I am virgo ASC, but I have Sun/Venus conjunct ASC, Saturn in first house. I have long face, not much squarish even Sun conjunct ASC because Venus and Saturn alters the squarishness.

You kinda look like Kathryn Hahn. And actually, that is the first thing i thought about when seeing your pic.

She has Sun in Leo and Moon on the Virgo/Libra cusp. And i find that interesting that u say that you are often mistaken for a Virgo

Scorpio

DopGang is right about the square jaw trait. I have Aqua ASC and I have one as well. It's not really something you see with Virgo or Libra ASC, although I do think you have Jupiter or Venus aspecting your ASC.

Just my 2 cents.

With my original hair (black) before I died it everyone thought I had scorpio in me. My eyes always show my mood, no matter how much I try to hide it, it always shines through my eyes

That's interesting because that's exactly what's in my chart! Scorpio in the first, but Libra rising

Thank you, Mergoatsun.

So as to personality ... are you diplomatic, at least in how you view things? Are you moved strongly by beauty?

What I believe what I see here is a Libran Ascendant parallel Pluto [7S57], which would put it at 17-23° Libra, about 7-8° South. Watch the transits of fire planets over that area. Jupiter will be going through it in December.

However, Uranus has recently been through the area in Aries opposite it. Have you had changes, surprises, upsets in your relational life this past year, but with it easing up more lately?

You are beautiful and you have a great smile. I assume that is your sister beside you in the 3rd picture?

Thank you for your compliments!

I would say I'm pretty diplomatic, I like to see both sides of anything. As to being strongly moved by beauty, I have Venus in my 4th house so I really like to keep an organized house, and nice clothes/jewelry. Music is very important to me and so is my appearance.

My relational life has been relatively the same. However, we just found out our move planned for August that we've been looking forward to just got moved to mid-September, that was a huge surprise. I went through a period of conflict with my significant other, but it seems that we are over that period. I have had some upsets in my personal life though.

That's my best friend in the 3rd picture, we feel like sisters though. We have been best friends for a long time, and our charts line up pretty interestingly. I believe we were sisters in a previous life (if past lives exist).

Thank you everyone for your input, I'm going to try to rectify my chart. I'm an early Leo Moon (1 degree), but I often feel more like a Cancer Moon, but I do feel like a Leo sometimes. If I am a 13-23 Libra ascendant than I would be a Cancer moon. I'm a Cancer Moon in vedic astrology so that might be a factor as well. I have lots of work to do, but I will update eventually

cancer moon is very different from leo moon.

Are you close to your mother?

cancer moon is also very moody and prone to stomach ache.

I think once you figure that out, it's probably clearer.

I know 2 capricorn with scorp rising who look very similar to you (but they wear darker clothes) ... so the Libra rising and lightness of your presence matches up

If you are Libra rising, you can only have Moon in Leo. It is a 'cuspy' position, but the more likely explanation for the 'Cancer' feeling is presented right in your chart as-is: Moon very close to MC, and opposite Neptune. This adds sensitivity, emotion to a Libra personality, making it more water-like.
I'm not looking to change your chart just for change's sake, but consider that this Moon-Neptune aspect on the IC/MC axis is what you are feeling.

Let me explain what I mean a bit better ... I may've glossed over things a bit too quickly. You have a very luminescent, fair, porcelain complexion. This correlates to Pisces/Neptune affecting Asc. See Neptune square Asc? And you have what I term a high hairline/forehead, which correlates to Mercury/Jupiter/Neptune or Gem/Virgo, Sag, Pisces (mutability). My first assessment may've been wrong.

Do some reading to see if you fit Lunar/Neptune over Pluto in your personality. Looking at your pictures here again, your face looks more rounded/lengthy than squarish/rectangular. (Pics are tricky). That leads me to think your chart may be pretty accurate as-is. But watch those transits through mid-late Libra and tell us what you find.
