My rising sign is 29 degrees Virgo. Today is the first day of Leo season and the Sun currently sextile my Natal Ascendant. How is this possible when my natal ascendant is in Virgo? IP: Logged |

Because they are separated by 59°, which is an applying sextile (orb 1°).------------------

You are only a Libra rising person if that was your actual rising sign to start with, which could be. But no, the transit does not change your rising sign. You're wrongly applying sign-based thinking to aspects. Aspects are geometry, not signs. 60° sextiles operate independently of what signs the planets may be in.------------------

Because it would seem that only 29 degree signs experience this. IP: Logged |

Would this not be what is called an "out of sign" aspect?Are you perhaps trying to decipher whether you are a Virgo/Libra Asc? IP: Logged |

I'm trying to figure out this "Out of sign" transit effect on the horoscope. IP: Logged |

There is no special effect of 'out of sign' on your horoscope or anyone else's. That sign-based thinking is limiting and distorting your perspective and line of inquiry. Astrology is first and foremost planets not signs. Aspects are geometry that are in effect regardless of the signs involved. In other words, to say such and such signs are 'sextile' is incorrect. The same degrees of those signs are sextile when exact, but signs are not in aspect to each other. Objects at specific locations can be in aspect, because they are in movement that brings them into and out of such relationships. Signs are static by comparison. There is a bit of slack, most commonly called 'orb' (short for moeity of orbs of two planets). So planets in a 60° sextile relationship are generally understood to begin 4-5° out from 60°. ------------------
