Thank you so much.❤❤❤ It's weird.But they both passed within 3 months of each other. I guess that is one of the manifestation of Plu close to my Mc/opp Ic?💁🏿‍♂️

Their passings have kinda reminded me of my own mortality.Not to be too morbid, but happiness and living a fulfilling life is important.

and....
Yes!!! the unrestrained feels relieving, like coming home from handling customers all day. Sometimes I find Aries and Aquarius are similar, I can't tell if I rebel for my own sake or wanting to be different. (my Aries Venus 11h trine Uranus). Did I mention Aries embraces making mistakes, at least for me, that I think impulsivity and passion are related but the real world (Saturn) does not work that way.

Aries Asc is (atleast in my experience) an "accident" on the verge of being realized.🤣 By default, we jump the street too soon, sip the hot coffee without properly cooling it firsr or walk into a room abruptly when we really should have knocked.

I wish i wouldn't be afraid of making more mistakes. That's how one learns in life. And like you, i grew up in a home that was critical and faultfinding (Mercury in 10th opp Moon in 4th).

So with the square of Mercury to Aries Asc, the default impulse to analyse the "appropriateness" of an action sometimes thwarts the initial plan. And this can lead to analysis paralysis for me.🙆🏿‍♂️ I can literally stand there (frozen) at times and not know what to do. Or which way is "best".

I think that my self-love would include distancing myself from family and the conditioning i was subjected to when young i.e. to learn to embrace my more passionate streak more openly. And stop apologising for being me😊

How far do I feel my Aries rising? I am not consciously aware. For me the Asc represents the energy we are "waking" to. That's why its "rising". So i only pick up on reflection that a certain
action was very Aries Asc.

The other day i was at a mall that I hadn't visited before.People were standing in a queue waiting for the ATM. However, there were 2 ATM's and yet all people seemed to waiting for that specific one being used.

I asked whether the other ATM was working and the guy in front of me seem to look very puzzled and confused as if he hadn't asked the same question himself? He just assumed that it wasn't working and fell in line.

So I told him to just keep my spot as I went to the ATM , slid my card in and then to my surprise, it worked. I got my cash and signaled to him that the second ATM was working.Everybody else then started to form a line towards the second ATM.

The fact that people assumed that the 2nd ATM is not working and followed the queue suggests to me that a lot of us are walking around having an unconcious "sheep" mentality.

And sometimes with Aries on the asc,you are tasked (by default) to break away from the "sheep" mentality. Perhaps the ATM could not have worked, seallowed my card and i could have ended up with egg on my face with "what the hell was he thinking?" judgmental looks?😶

But Aries Asc feels compelled to take that chance and find out for itself. That's what the impulse of Mars ruling this Asc is- to be bold and daring. This even if you are "right" or "wrong". The important thing is that you obeyed YOU.

Can I feel your Venus trine Uranus on my Asc online? Lol. I think it would be probable when you and I are on the same wavelength on posts on here. But sadly,I am not as active as I used to be.👍🏿

My Cancer rising develops slowly over the years and living longer brings my Cancer out, esp after the Saturn return. Now I feel the battle between my Aries Sun and Cancer Rising clashing, while my Libra moon is agonizing trying to find comfort in this chaos.

Rather than seeing it as a "battle ",I qpuld recommend seeing it as multiple layers of your personality.So many times we want to streamline ourselves into a "cohesive" unit where everything is "compact". And that leads us to inevitably deny those pieces of ourselves that do not smooth out into the bigger picture.

But i think each variation has purpose. My Cancer Moon reacting with my Asc in Aries gives intense clarity of feelings coming through in the expression.Its hard for me to hide how i am feeling as it's written all over my face.

But at the same time,too much transparency may lead to others taking advantage of me. And thats how the Ven-Sat conj in Sco comes into play. It holds some stuff back. As much as i am "open".I am also "closed". This dichotomy of self expression exists simultaneously in my personality.

The Pluto transit (square Venus), was.... I have no words. I suffered internally a lot. I lost everything I build for myself - career, friendships, my relationship with my sister, and ex-fiance but they were all toxic for me. It all came crashing and I had to re-define myself and my life after the great conjunction. Practicing more self compassion and love. I think I extended too much for others, I need to do that for myself. I am primarily exhausted from the Plutonian themes. ❤❤❤

My grandma also passed away, I looked like her that at that moment I had visioned my own death from her death bed. Right now, my grandpa isn't doing well, I am afraid to say he may not be around for long.🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

And when tPluto square my Venus for one last time, I came out to my mom I no longer follow the Catholic faith. She's a very devoted and religious, I am surprised I don't have any Jupiter aspects minus Jupiter trine ASC and square Saturn. I think that Jupiter square Saturn is the falling out of love wirh religious faith that is conditioned on to you vs. The belief system that you choose for yourself.

Hearing that, my mom was of course devastated. This had me bugging because I don't like to lie to my mom about something she care too much, because it was in conflict of who I am. I just want her to embrace the idea I can't follow in her footstep. Up to today, she brings up this matter. And I feel this may surface some surprised when tPluto square my Moon next year.

I think your Mom may see your rejection of the religion as (by extension) a rejection of her. Assure her that this is not the case. That you can still have an authentic relationship even as you disagree with religious beliefs.

The Pluto square Moon will stress more authenticity in connection. No more lies between you and those you care for( and that includes her). Sometimes this transit suggests a breaking away from those who prove insincere to you.

This transit beats the square Sun back in 2008ish. And Pluto isn't stopping because it's making a MP to my Venus/Moon this year and ... again I somehow got into a relationship with Venus/Mercury square Pluto/IC in composite... I don't know how but astrology is amazing - the synchronization is uncanny and I don't know if I'll be ready for tPluto square my Moon next year. It certainly can be magical when you start to recognize the patterns more clearly.

I think I am trying to make sense of the 3rd house cusp in Gemini. My Mercury is in Cap in 10th. I am always thinking about my reputation in everything I do.

3rd and 2nd house arw said to showcase our "talents"? North node in Gem in 3rd house. Gift of gab perhaps? But I am not good at creating stuff with my hands. I don't have enough patience.

Pisces is vulnerable energy.Two things happen when people see someone vulnerable; they either try to protect them and fiercely defend them OR try to exploit them/ pull a fast one on them.

You can immediately tell the nature of someone by how they treat someone vulnerable/naive/gullible.

Haha, Aries23. I love this story. It's relatable. It's one of the reason I fear leading/taking initiative because then someone would rely on me, if I do things myself, there's no lashback from others. I like to do things alone and allow room to take a step back and go forth then repeat. It's non-linear and not organized. Sometimes my non-linear ways had people take over the role thinking I may be confused or lack the ability - imagine a baby trying to walk but people keep trying to help. A baby won't be able to walk at this rate. People sense my Neptunian energy, maybe that's why they feel the way they did. Leaders tend to take the heat for the group. Your ability to take that leap to figure out the ATM, was a risk an Aries take.

"I think your Mom may see your rejection of the religion as (by extension) a rejection of her. Assure her that this is not the case. That you can still have an authentic relationship even as you disagree with religious beliefs.

I really hope so. I spoke to her about it. She confessed its her fear of dying in hell, and she didn't want the same for me. At this point, her belief is based on the teaching of the church and not the philosophy of the teachings. I told her I didn't want to follow that path because it goes against my inner self? (not sure how to put these into words - I didn't feel it sit right with me) - I don't believe living has to be based on the fear and control of the higher power. I would choose to live to love and allow myself to be okay with the unknown of the universe - playing around ideas. I love the idea of everything may be connected - our souls, paths, energy, maybe even reincarnation, etc. I really hope I can live side by side with her with different values. My mom and I definitely have different values too. Thank you Aries23 <3 <3

Ime, the 11th House tends to describe your friends, much in the way that 7th House tends to describe your partners, closest people, and/or enemies.

For example, my partner has Sag Neptune in the 11th. Many of her friends are musicians with strong spiritual and/or philosophical leanings. In her earlier days, she also had some addict/chemical escapist/dependent type friends.

In other words, it's less about you in the direct sense. In an indirect sense, it could say some about you by inference. Just like with the 7th House.

Like I have Aqua Desc and Aqua Venus in the 7th square Uranus. I'm highly attracted to Venus dominant people (especially with women, since I also have Libra Moon), often also with strong Aqua and/or Uranus energy as well. Perhaps, in a loose sense, that says something about some of the more neutral part of my shadow. Maybe I could stand to be more consciously in touch with my own inner Venus and/or Aquarius in some ways?

Look at the condition of the Sun. An afflicted Sun may change things. But Leo cusp ime is generally where people tend to treat you like the "star" of the show. Its where we want to be seen or shine. We command(and in extreme cases) demand attention.

Friend of mine has Leo 7th. Sun is in Lib in house 8. He emphasizes emotional intensity in connection in relationships on one hand. But fears it on the other.

I recall him saying that in his past relationship,the unfortunate death of his baby brought him and the then girlfriend even closer together.

I immediately sensed his Sun was in house 8. Because I know house 8 people tend to thrive or feel more deeply connected in crises/critical/death situations etc.

Years later, he disclosed his time of birth and (sure enough) Aqua Asc with Sun in 0 Lib in house 8. BAM!!

Many times I have heard him say that if you are in a relationship with him,you need to prioritize him (as a partner).

He has actually had the longest relationship with a Leo Sun(right in his 7th) whom he felt "took him for granted". Hence they split. I was confused by this as the Leo on question was(in my evaluation) ANYTHING but "neutral"🤔

It took him (friend)some time to break away from that relationship because the Leo was "so good in bed"(8th house of intimacy).

The Leo in question had Sco Moon: Very intense guy. And so what I said to him was that he craves that kind of high involvement in the relationship. But in the same breath, fears being suffocated by it(Sun in Libra).

So the Leo in question probably went back/forth with that. Not knowing when they gave too little or too much?💁🏿‍♂️

I don't relate much to this. I don't dominate my friends.

I'm usually the friend that they come to if they need uplifting - whether it's a pep talk after crying on my shoulder OR sipping wine and dancing the night away together. 👍🏾👍🏾 People often see me as the "Social Queen" who is always in the know about where all of the FUN is at.

I'm very considerate. But I'm also a straight-shooter with high standards. 💯 I refuse to go hard for anyone that wouldn't go hard for me in a return. It must be mutual.

Can Moon ime wants you to "get" them on an instinctive level. That(to them) is the ultimate experience of love. To "know" them without them having to explain themselves to you.

We all(on some level)want another person to "get" us.But with Cancer( especially Moon) that need is FUNDAMENTAL.

Cancer is affiliated with the womb and the Ic. This is not about "Mom" in the literal sense."Mom" is just a projection for a deeper yearning/hunger for SOURCE (where the milk never dries up and the bond never ends).

SOURCE is the memory deeply embedded in Can Moon of being completely enveloped by LOVE. And being "understood" from the core of one's being.

They diligently look for this connection either consciously or subconsciously. As it lingers on in memory(though frail but not forgotten). And parents to a Cancer Moon have their work cut out for them.

The Cancer Moon's first association with what is closest to that sensation of "Source" love and unconditional acceptance is "Mom" i.e "this is where I come from.Mom is the extended part of whence I came. Mom IS SOURCE " etc.

This is also not "Mom" from a gender/ biological perspective i.e female . But by "Mom" , I mean the maternal/paternal figure who provides the primary nourishment or care the Can Moon gets to know as "LOVE" from an intense feeling level.

They suckle from this forever more. This even after the caregiver has passed on or even if the nourishment received was bitter or poisonous(like an umbilical cord from a baby to its Mother).

Cancer is one sign that can have the most difficult time forgiving an unloving parent or letting go of not being loved "properly" by one- Constantly looking to fill that incessant hunger for emotional connection.

That is until they reconnect with their ORIGINAL parent (SOURCE itself) from an emotionally visceral level. And once this happens,no human love will ever be "enough". And yes. Not even earth bound "Mom's"💁🏿‍♂️

So when you "get" them, they feel but a sample of love unfolding from Source itself. But the error is them thinking that your "love"(like Source) is unending. They come to find out that it is limited. That all human love is limited.

But instead of reaching for SOURCE( the ultimate filler of ALL hunger), many resort to emotional manipulation- to defend against the inevatible loss of that known (albeit fleeting & temporary) love💁🏿‍♂️

I'm not in the background. I'm often "the heart" of a group. Not because I'm *seeking* the spotlight. But because I naturally & simply SHINE by being who I authentically am. And people like to bask in that light. 🔥

I appreciate your thoughtful insight on Cancer Moons. 👍🏾

I feel I'm on the healthier side of Cancer Moon. I *hate* someone bringing drama & stress into my life. I'll cut you lose over it! I suppose because it's in my 9th House trine Jupiter I cannot stand a debbie-downer?? 🤷🏾‍♀️

Loving & being loved is *highly* important to me. 💜 You're right - I must feel understood & accepted by the people that I let in. Otherwise, I will feel resentful. If I start to feel insecure about our connection... I will openly communicate that to you. If things don't improve, I will pull away from you completely. I have to protect my emotional well-being at ALL COSTS.

It is always the case when I start a new job or I start something new etc. That i always try to be very conscious of my Asc position.

In that I always ask myself which part of me is showing up here? Which part of me is bright eyed and bushy tailed and spreading its spark everywhere (unthreatened by the new environment) And how are others receiving me?

I think the Asc shows up a lot more when you're doing something new/ unrehearsed or unfamiliar. In that you have no choice but to go to the "default" mode of having to explore or be risk-seeking. This whether or not you are comfortable with the latter.

Taurus Asc(at first blush) slows everything down-this even with a fiery Moon or Sun. Only for them to open up later on. But at first blush,they appear conservative,"closed off" and very restrained.

Asc in Gemini may ask questions, giggle or be incessantly talkative in a new situation. This is to warde off the nervous worry and unsure feelings of the new environment. If Sun /Moon in water or earth,their reserve will show up later.

What I noticed about my Asc in Aries.is that I come across extremely enthusiastic and open on the first day of interaction with my other co-employees.

And that if my enthusiasm is unmatched by those who are receiving me, I am disheartened or (at least) of the opinion that the other people are "chilly".

This is not to say that I actually care for other people or I'm looking to make the best impression on others . But fire energy tends to burn brighter and more viscerally when there is a response either by (a)fanning the flame-air energy. Or (b)someone matching fire with a mutual exchange of enthusiasm (fire).

And so I'm drawn to someone who meets my "fire"-so to speak. And can detract from those who are more reserved (water/ earth). This atleast initially.

I don't think that these people mean to come across as "cold" per se.I think they are just "reading" my energy and seeing if I am not in any way unsettling/threatening to them.

But in the meantime, it does slow down the connection between us. And they end up picking up the baton later on when I have forgotten about them.

Any Asc in Aries also experience this? In that you are encouraged by immediate enthusiasm to you. And like it when people respond vigorously to you?
