I've known several Female Cap ASCs personally. Zero Male.

What I've noted with these Female Cap ASCs is that they 'take on' UNNECESSARY what-I-would-call problems, seemingly in order to fulfill an emotional need they have to keep moving, doing - achieving(!) - etc.

Like I said, I do not know of any Male Cap ASCs (strangely, I'm swimming in Male Cancer ASCs), but my intuited understanding is males are not addy-ony like this, rather they have focused goals and go after them then get new goals as a matter of life. What it seems like to me is, the Females feel societal pressure to be caring, sympathetic, etc, so they adopt problem-1, problem-2, problem--3, so that their entire life - their entire [self]identity(!!!) - is just an endless scene of them seemingly running around in circles chicken-head-cut-off style.

It seems like Female Cap ASCs are extra-burdened, because ASC = one's basic Role in life + Cap = feels responsibility immensely -> Female Cap ASCs feel pressure to -both- caretake and achieve/accomplish externally/societally.

I used to be like that. I even took care of other people’s problems and at the time I thought I was happy doing it but no more! At the age of 43 I’ve FINALLY realized that I need to take care of me first and it feels awesome!

I am male, but realised this around the same age - which coincided with transit Uranus opposing my natal Uranus (the astrological mid-life crisis).

One has to stay healthy in order to be able to care for others. … Hence, in the Aquarian Age, the greatest need of the group is for every individual/member to take good care of themselves.

Yet … still there are those following the Piscean Age belief/teaching that "the needs of others should always be put before our own" - driving themselves towards a physical or mental breakdown by doing so, and thus becoming a burden upon (rather than an asset to) the "others" they were attempting to help.

lol. Thanks for the post, Astra.

Mind telling a few details about your Chart, if not posting the whole thing?
- Degree of ASC
- Sign/House/Degree of Saturn
- Is your birth time from birth certificate/record, or ... ?

The female cappy friend got her bachelor's degree, then her masters and then is now on her PHD program and did it back to back basically, in her 20s she was already getting her PHD.

She is a counselor but I don't feel she has a need to rescue others, I feel with her mars in aries she has healthy boundaries around that even though she has Neptune on her AC in cappy, she blends in with her environment and is adaptive but I don't feel she has these issues around wanting to rescue everyone at all. My friendship with her was one of the healthiest I feel I have had bc there was an equal give and take and mutual support but neither was trying to fix or rescue the other, just acceptance and support and no controlling each other. She has saturn in the 1H.

Now my cappy male friend did not get a degree but he managed to get a good job for someone without a degree in the oil industry working indoors. He struggles with depression since he was a teenager at least and was diagnosed with bi-polar as a teen, he will deny he has bi-polar now as an adult but I have witnessed him having episodes and he has delusions of grandeur and has homicidal ideation at times. IMO he does have bi-polar and it has been a life long struggle for him. He has has neptune conjunct his AC but his Saturn is in the 12H instead of the 1H and he does seem to carry on the weight of world on his shoulders in line with Saturn in the 12H, he got it into his head that he could have saved this stranger and was experiencing excessive guilt over it and then it led to an episode ect. I feel my other Cappy AC friend with Saturn in the 1H does not do this sort of thing or carry the weight of world in her shoulders and found a healthy way to channel her need to help and support others in their journey towards personal growth without feeling is her job to rescue them either.

--- H1 = self; ASC Ruler in H1 = person is "selfish" (I do not mean that in a bad way, but that the line between Themself and Others is always in the back of their mind and the distinction is clear, with a Self-First disposition/concern).

--- H12 = selfless, boundaryless, "universal, global, everyone" etc, too empathetic, concern with healing others; So with ASC Ruler in H12, this is "their"(asc) domain, where they are supposed to be (asc = "Role" in life).

The 3 Female Cap ASCs I can think of... none of them have Saturn-1, so I can't say exactly what it's like. One does have Saturn-12 though, and oddly they were exactly like you described - wanting to save everyone, blah blah. When I made this thread I actually was thinking of just 2 people, both who have Saturn(asc ruler) in Mercurcy houses (3/6) - which is the planet of "management" and "planning" - which might be why I described F-Cap ASCs as seeming like 'chickens with their heads cut off' lol.
