Your Soul Sign is your Rising Sign, or Ascendant. It is the sign that was rising over the horizon at the point of your birth, and therefore is the ‘dawn’ of your life. It is the most important sign in Soul Astrology because it indicates your Soul’s growth and what you came here to do.

In contrast, your sun and moon signs are the dual aspects of your personality: your sun sign is that which is in the light, that you are conscious of, and your moon sign indicates your ‘shadow’ or aspects of your personality that you are mostly unaware of.

Personally, I think the Moon and its Nodes (the North and South) represent the soul, since the Moon is about your emotions and the Nodes are about where you've been (South Node) and where you need to go in order to be really fulfilled (North Node). These are all things that will hit you on an unconscious, soul-level.

The Ascendant is more so a point of basic and general self-awareness that defines your life in a lot of ways and follows you throughout life. There is a somewhat unconscious quality to how the Ascendant expresses itself. But, I don't think it's about the soul, per se. It's just how you manifest yourself in this life.

Beautifully put. I totally agree with all said above about all three. Most of my friends and relatives my own age have read Goodman's Sun Signs. I have heard most of them complain that the description while partly true, doesn't reveal all about them. I myself only learned about the moon sign alone about a year ago, and shortly after learned about the AC. That was when I got to know the "real" me. It was then that I started finding people's ACs and when I told them their feedback has always been that they definitely associate a lot more with their AC.

People who have sun, moon and the AC in one sign may not have this problem though.

for example as a cap asc, as i walk out to people i know, i see them as caring individuals. i see them approaching each other with kindness and seeking nurturement form each other through acts of kindness and trust and hope. me on the otherhand i feel like a cold stern person, who is hardened and tough. as i look out i see soft people but feel the opposite.

this is because aries has the strongest sense of self, get's pleasure from thinking of how others percieve them in a awesome way, will re-think about the things they said that they are proud of. aries is the start of the asc and thus is fused with cap, so my sense of self from aries is fused with cap. and my part of my self-libra (dsc start) focuses on others.

the sun is much like a spirit, as it is so vast and like your higher guidance

it looks back to all that is (cardinal-beginning) and sees all the things that is has done. this gives it a large sense of who it was, what it has done, and thus they are attached to who they were (in the past). also because they are a fire sign which is all about feeling good. they feel good thinking about themselves. they are a feel good sign. water is more about sacredity in the universe. fire is about feeling good in all ways possible. so naturally they like to think they are pretty cool.

I am still trying to get the meaning of the Ascendant. other than the physical appearance (which i see I can resonate with)

This talks about how our automatic responses are the only part of us which we could possibly identify as our soul.

But now I'm realising that there are so many possible interpretations of what "soul" is and I'm aiming here for a very distant one

This is why I don't feel like posting lately, until I get to the end I contradict myself in my head several times. Damn Libra progressed AC and rising.

But when, for example I was watching the videos of Ruth Hadikin, I felt I was really resonating with the Virgo rising video. She talks about the AC from the soul-perspective as well. But then I'm Virgo Sun also.
