I've been reading my persona charts, specifically the Moon. I feel like I relate more to it.

On my moon persona chart, I have Scorpio ascendant and have both Cancer sun/Gemini mars in the 8th house, and Pluto in the 1st house. Sometimes, I can relate to the energy of Scorpio even though I don't have any in my natal chart.

Supposedly, being a natal Cancer moon in the 1st should make me super sensitive and have my emotions out there for everyone to see. That's not necessarily the case. I am very withdrawn and reserved when it comes to my emotions. Yes, people can see it in my face and eyes when I'm sad/happy/angry, but no one really knows or understands how I feel. I don't let people in, even the ones that are very close to me. I also don't trust a lot of people and I feel very deeply, even more than a regular Cancer moon would (I think).

Do the persona charts provide more detail into how your placements play out?

True, this 'should' is not how I interpret Moon in the 1st.

Not surprising. I can pretty much guarantee you the explanation for this is found in your complete birth horoscope's aspects. Parallel and contra-parallel aspects (declinations) complete the picture left out 90% of the time by astrologers. The explanation is there, not in an alternate 'horoscope' that was never meant to replace the original birth chart.

I think that is what the originators of the concept think. They are Peter Orban and Ingrid Zinnel. Evidently their book is only available in German: http://astronova.de/Artikel/Die-innere-Tafelrunde.html?aid=1253&ptid=astrodienst
