Hey all,

In an effort to get to know my Asc better and other Aries placements, I decided to initiate this thread.

Some questions will be here. Please feel free to chime in with questions and experiences of your own-whether you have natal Aries or have had experiences with someone who does.

First off,is being a loner part in parcel of this placement?

I have experienced a certain kind of "aloneness" that has endured since childhood. And i wonder if feeling very "singular" is a characteristic of Aries?

I used to wonder which placement you had in Aries, so its the ascendant huh.

Talking about aries, all aries moons I know seem to have similar looking slanted eye-brow which seems to help me to distinguish them.

Got nothing more to say...

Thank you for the response.I don't have many Aries Moon friends or acquaintances. But I know what you mean by that.

Possibly because I have Libra Moon, my 5th House ruler is conjunct Mars, and have Leo Rising (strong Leo tends to be attracted to strong Aries in a 5th House kind of way), I've had a lot people closer in my life that have moderate to strong Aries.

Partner of 20 years has Aries Moon, 2 longest male friends have Aries Asc, several romantic connections have either Aries Sun or Asc, some other friends with highlighted Aries like a friend whose Asc is either very end of Aries powerfully cusping Taurus or very early Taurus powerfully cusping Aries and with Aries Venus, a once somewhat close cousin with Aries Sun, etc.

My partner and 1 of the longest male friends (an ex friend at this point), who are also both Aqua Suns, were somewhat loners growing up. Though my friend seemed to draw people to him to some extent.

Aries is the most individualistic and little self oriented Sign of them all. In that sense, it is indeed kind of separative in nature. The Aries self centeredness is legendary, and for good reasons, it often does apply to some extent. However, it is rarely mean or purposeful, it's often more of a kind of innocent or unconscious self centeredness vs say the more calculated, deliberate, and often more destructive or mean selfishness of say very strong Saturn and/or Pluto.

One thing not mentioned about Aries in the mainstream, but what I have observed many times, is how often people with strong Aries, especially Sun, Asc, Mercury, or chart ruler in same, tend to have pretty developed logical/intellectual abilities. In that sense, they are not purely Martian, but often there is like also a Mercurial type attunement.

This should be no surprise though as it is the Sign that corresponds to the head, and we often associate the head with the more analytical, linear logical, and more "left brained" mind and intellect. In some ways, one could call this the more masculine mind, as men tend to be more focused on this side of things than the more subtle, feeling, unseen, unconscious, holistic, connective, intuitive side of perception which seems to be more connected to the right brain and to Yin/Feminine symbols in astrology like Moon, Venus, and Neptune (and which women tend to be better at than men).

People that have both Aries very highlighted and also more intuitive symbols simultaneously highlighted, can be some very perceptive cookies indeed.

Aries moon and Mercury here. I agree with all Galactic said. I have a strong emotional need for solitude, independence, and challenge. Something I disagree with that most sites/cookbooks say about Aries moon is that we will pick fights in relationships when we get bored. This is not the case at all for me, and never has been. Instead I see it manifest as a desire to be challenged emotionally, and if I don't get this challenge from a relationship I will create it for myself professionally (moon in 10th house) or seek growth in other ways.

You also have to keep in mind that an Aries moon may have had a conflict-heavy or adversarial relationship with the mother, which is true in my case.

Overall there is a strong urge to uniqueness and wanting to stand out/apart, similar to Aquarius IMO. It is about self-identity. There is ego, and it can be bad, but it is not generally malicious like Galactic said - more the innocent, ignorant self-centredness of an only child or a baby.

But yes, my Aries moon and Mercury need solitude in order to recoup emotional and intellectual energy.

Thanks for the response👌🏿

When I had a chart rectification done(because my time of birth was uncertain & I was swinging mostly between Tau and Aries Asc) I initially disputed the Aries Asc placement.

Not to say that I wholeheartedly agree with Tau Asc either. But I didn't like the descriptions I got from viewing videos or reading about Aries Asc. It just didn't "sound" like ME at all.

That's until I learned abt "Evolutionary Astrology" by Simon Vorster from his website "Raising Vibrations". Then I found his perspective on the Asc very refreshing and quite profound.

He has videos available on YouTube that deal with the Ascendant and the "soul path". I would recommend a peak at them -this especially to anyone who wants to explore another point of view of the nature of their Asc.

In his analysis, the Asc is something we are "awakening" to. It is the "default" sense of expression that is very adhoc in nature with realizations about the self therein. Hence it is "rising" i.e. It is always in the midst of developing or "becoming". And never complete. I agree with this.

As Aries Asc,I always instinctively feel the need to go my way.This is not something intellectual at all. But it comes in such a heated, "adhoc" way that the impulse to follow it is very strong.

It could be when answering a question, walking on a pathway, initiating a project or even when speaking of a subject matter. The path chosen is always new and feels (atleast to me) like the path of least resistance.

To others ofcourse, it feels "controversial" or "deviant". So it surfaces resistance and opposition from them (indicated by my Mars- Libra opposition). And thus I end up being reproached, criticized or have people thwart what I initiated-calling it "not proper".

Its made me a very nervous person (as a result) that I may say something to "offend" or make others uncomfortable. When really the intention was just to be me.

As such, I struggle socially with the relevent "protocol" of niceties that should adhered to. I have a love/hate relationship with Libra types(whom on one hand claim to "like" me . But then try to "change" me) because i notice many censor my responses and interrupt me from just being me.

I am glad you mentioned the intellectual side of Aries. Many people seem to leave that out- painting Aries to be a proverbail "Juggernaut" i.e. masculine in nature and "macho"(even in females), devoid of intellect and is running around breaking walls with their head or swinging at someone.💁🏿‍♂️

I have Mercury in 10th and quite prominent in my chart. I tend to think a lot. Mercury also squares my Asc/Dsc, squares Mars too.

Whilst on the discussion of Aries and its presumed aggression,I want to mention that I have met a couple of Aries who are not like that.

But(arguably) I have been confronted with those with Mars on the Sun/Moon/Mercury or Ven who demonstrate a more forceful nature than is typical of the Aries I have encountered.

My sister is one such individual.You may not be too far off to assume she has Aries Asc/ Moon.But she has Mars on her Asc/Sun,Asc/Moon and Moon/Mercury midpoint.Mars is also conj Chi(I have something to prove).And as a family, we find her very combustible. I steer clear of her.

As a Mars/Moon & Mars/Merc square individual myself,I am aware that I can be forceful with my opinion.Mercury/Moon midpoint is conj Mars and so I may personalize stuff a lot or take things very personally.

I wonder if there are people with Mars/Sun, Mars/Moon , Mars/Mercury etc. Who also identity with Aries energy? I find Mars contacts to be much more combative than just Aries placements.

It's interesting that you say that about Aries Moon and Mercury because as Asc Aries, I do that too. I need time to regroup, recoup and actively seek isolation.

Thank you for sharing some more of your perspective, background, and account Aries23Degrees.

That is interesting about the evolutionary astrology. I agree about the soul path nature of the Asc in so much as to me, the Asc corresponds to the body and temperament independent of the Soul that connected to same, and the Soul chooses a specific body for reasons.

Like in my case, my body and my Soul are rather different in nature and attunement. My Soul is more sensitive, flexible or more so adaptable, intuitive, Feminine/Yin, reflective and introverted in nature, partially symbolized by a combo of very strong Jupiter and Neptune, Cap Sun, and 7th House Pisces SN. But I connected to a body that is quite Yang, more self expressive, stubborn/fixed, and at times self focused (Leo Asc).

I suspect I needed some of the ego strength, stubbornness, fire, and self expressiveness of such a body to do the things I need to do in this world. If I had connected to say Cancer, Virgo, or Pisces type attuned body, I would be too passive, too sensitive, or the like.

Sometimes Souls do connect to bodies that are more similar to their inner nature, because it feels more comfortable for them. I'm not here for comfort, but for service/retrieval and that wasn't a luxury I could afford.

Our personality is a complex, ever changing admixture and proportions of Soul and body influences, and at times our Spirit/Expanded self as well. They all mix together to make up the "soup" that is us and our personality.

Btw, if your Asc is at 23 degrees (or especially if a bit later), it is probably cusping/shading into Taurus a bit. This would add/indicate more complexity to the whole picture (this could indicate you being more stubborn in your Ariesness body/temperament wise). The Asc is perhaps the symbol most sensitive to this cusping/blending. If your Asc is at 23 degree exactly, it will be more subtle overall though. (Once the Asc is near the +/- 3 degree range of a Sign change i.e. 27 to 3 degrees or so, then the cusping/blending becomes really, really noticeable).

Yeah, I don't know why so many do not recognize the intellectual side of Aries, when so many of the great thinkers of history have had prominent Aries in some way, like Thomas Jefferson (Aries Sun and Mercury strongly cusping Aries), Albert Einstein (Aries Mercury conjunct Aries Saturn), and Leonardo Da Vinci (Aries Mercury and Sun closely cusping Aries) for a couple examples that come to mind.

I think Mercury is particularly well placed in Aries, after all, the Planet of the left brain/intellect mind in the Sign of the head (i.e. symbolically the intellect)...DUH.

Anyways, maybe part of your path is to learn not to care what others may think or feel about you (within reason, not purposely hurting others)? Maybe that is what your body is in a sense "teaching" your Soul? Do your own thang, and don't give a flying f**k . Sag Sun also goes along with that to some extent.
But your Cancer Moon, shows you come from a past (Moon is all about the past, especially in a childhood and/or past life sense) where you were VERY attached to what others thought and especially felt about you.

The people that truly love you, will accept you as you are. And if not, then so what? (Again, within reason, don't mistreat others, have some consideration, etc).

Aries Sun & NN here!

Thank you for this post! I'll come back and add things as I go.

The one thing that I want to emphasize first is that the majority of Aries Women DO NOT seek to dominate their partners. We cannot stand passivity in a man. No! We want our equal - someone that we can admire & respect. Who puts in effort and can teach *US* something for a change!

If we can dominate you... we will never take you seriously or invest in you. You'll just be a source of convenience and you *will* get your feelings hurt. Sorry not sorry.

Absolutely agree. I see the Asc in Aries in keeping with what you just wrote. I care too much about people's feelings and not"hurting" them. That in the end, I suffocate myself.

Its not that I go all out to be "mean". No. But its like the words "No" or "I don't want to" etc. Are difficult to enunciate. Like i will be letting someone "down" by saying them. So i endure whhat i don't want to just so i can keep the peace. So annoying!😥

I am currently with an Aries Sun with Moon in Libra. I know that it is often advised that if someone's Moon/Sun or Ven/Mars conj is opp your Asc, then its likely a good matchup etc. But i am not sure when it comes to Aries.

If you have Ari Asc like me,Lib Sun/Moon are better as close friends than lovers. Ime they tend to depend too much on you to say the "right" thing and mind their often delicate sensibilities (which can be vast and change a lot).

I have a Lib Sun/Moon/Ven mate with Aqua Asc whom I always speak to when I have 1st rehearsed what i wanted to say in my head.

I find that with Lib, the Ari more "shoot from the hip" nature is continuously interrupted. They'll(Ari) have to do cartwheels in diplomacy most of the time to refrain from being termed "inappropriate" by Libra. 💁🏿‍♂️

I think with Ari energy, one tends to go where angels fear to tread. And that is because Ari is rarely (if ever)fully appreciative of the danger and/or risk involved. Whilst those after it are.

Add to that,the Mars inspiration to just "do" adds adhoc intuition that guides this energy to just charge off in a certain direction without hesitation.

My thinking is that water Asc(especially Pisc Asc with 2nd house cusp in Ari) are very revolutionary thinkers (as 2nd house is usually in fire) but the process of converting thought to words is so static and slow (3rd house in earth). That getting it out there in circulation feels like a lot of admin and so they keep their thoughts to themselves.

If say a water Asc has Mercury in Fire or Mars/Uranus/Jup in aspect to Merc OR Ura/Mars in 3rd(or affecting the 3rd house ruler), then that process is faster. They'll be intellectual pioneers like Einstein (he has Asc in Cancer, Moon in Sag ruling house 2 and Uranus in 3rd house).

Aries Asc like me are good at converting thoughts to words at a faster pace (Gem 3rd). But typically the thoughts (barring adverse aspects to the contrary) are usually tied into dense subjects of what's "practical"(Tau 2nd)more than what is "unexplored".

I find Aries Asc(especially)are more into "let me see it applied in real life and in tangible form" than being into abstract stuff. This especially if Mercury is also in earth signs.

Fire is not usually concerned with what is "practical". But what's possible. Therein lies the difference. These are dreamers and expansive thinkers that are not tied into "reality" as much as the others tend to be.

This makes sense. The 7th house cusp is Libra. I don't think this necessarily means attracting a "Libra" partner. But perhaps it means entering into a marriage(7th) of equals (Lib).

I don't thibk Aries appreciates Libra's more co-dependent nature. It gets yo them after some time. So the Lib 7th is more about bringing equality into a union with an Aries , more than having to be "completed" by them etc.👌🏿

This should be no surprise though as it is the Sign that corresponds to the head, and we often associate the head with the more analytical, linear logical, and more "left brained" mind and intellect. In some ways, one could call this the more masculine mind, as men tend to be more focused on this side of things than the more subtle, feeling, unseen, unconscious, holistic, connective, intuitive side of perception which seems to be more connected to the right brain and to Yin/Feminine symbols in astrology like Moon, Venus, and Neptune (and which women tend to be better at than men).

People that have both Aries very highlighted and also more intuitive symbols simultaneously highlighted, can be some very perceptive cookies indeed.


Thank you for seeing that in us! Aries can indeed be highly intellectual (or philosophical) and this doesn't get emphasized about us enough. We're often Thinkers AND Doers.

As for the yin/feminine side of these things, Aries Women often have that side as well. Due to many of us having Venus and/or Mercury in Pisces/Taurus. So we are multifaceted cookies for sure!! I have an integrated masculine side of my personality but I am generally feminine and love being a woman.

The other title considered was "Can I just get to be me?"🤣

I think Fire Sun/Moon/Asc( especially Ari/Leo) are preoccupied with being themselves in an authentic/no holds barred way.

Oscar Wilde(Leo Moon) once said "Be yourself. Everyone else is taken."

Now with regards to Libra being very "Aries like"? It could be because Libra has 7th house cusp in Aries(by solar house)?

So in their interaction with others and their enthusiasm for social justice etc. some may come across zealous( Ari) to others(7th) or argumentative?

I know from my experience with Lib partners that if you are in a relationship with them (whether Asc, Moon or Sun) prepare to deal with being examined, then cross examined by the same person.💁🏿‍♂️

Its not that they are trying to "trap" you. But Libra plays Devil's advocate (Ari Dsc) to see if all angles have been considered.

So going back/forth a whole lot can happen within the relationship in as far as they are concerned.

Exactly. That codependent sh*t is for the birds! Interdependence is more my goal.

I'm Libra ASC - so Aries is my 7th House Cusp and has the Sun sitting there. Explains why I attract Leo & Sag Men so much!! I enjoy men who are strong, honorable & honest.

Although I'm an Aries Woman, I prefer Aries men as friends or booty calls. Unless they are highly evolved, the men are too damn selfish for me.

The Aries expert is here. I can say a lot, but try to say good lol After this type of jokes, I usually hear an outburst from Aries. They take themselves pretty serious, maybe, not as much as Scorpio.
I don’t see them as a loner. It’s more “ I’m doing it, and I don’t care if you’re with me or not” They want somebody to follow them not to walk by in a short term activity. But they struggle to carry on long-term things.
Sometimes it’s like having a dog, need to make sure they’re getting their activities, entertainment and food in time. They can’t be bored. I need to find them something to do before they figure it out themselves. Otherwise, it’s more trouble.
They also keep me entertained.

I think I acquired Aries qualities from interaction with them, but it doesn’t go the opposite way. Because libra is more receptive to people. And Air could change and learn. Aries moon is hard to be taught new tricks.
Unless, there is a good reimbursement so they can behave for a while.

I don’t think I’ve ever met Aries AC. It’s interesting to see if I would fall for them. It’s my DC, but from the description, we sound way different. And I need somebody to have at least some amount of patience with me.

Edit. About libra codependency is not really truth, maybe, a little. It might be more true when I was younger. I see it as weakness and try to get rid of it. As much Libra as I am. I don’t mind if you pay for my stuff as long as you don’t tell me what to do. 😊

I'm not sure if this is an Aries thing, for the most part I don't feel I can be myself with many people. I feel highly restricted.

I think I am more Aries like as a child. I was conditioned to censor how I speak or do things, to be calm ( I was hyper) and thinking the way I do. Even up to today. And I can feel a strong resistant when someone tries to tell me what to do. It isn't that they're telling me what to do that create this inner tension. It's going in a direction I am not being myself or the right path for me. I feel more I depend on others how to behave/act/talk, the more I feel lost and not finding something that works for me. I've been doing that for far too long, now I am a sad Aries lol I lost all my confidence in myself as a person. But I have faith I'll find it again. It's a matter of time.

This leads me to isolate myself. I recouped to avoid being confused with my own direction/myself/my wants/etc with others - because I then try mold myself who they want me to be. I find myself drained. We would have to go our separate ways when it reached that point. I do value people to be themselves and encourage them to do what they like and aim for it. "Just do it" is my go to saying. I am contradicted because Aries sun/venus square with my Cancer rising and Libra moon by sign.

I can become pleasant one minute and "defiant" then feel guilty for hurting others. I am learning to distinguish if I am hurting someone or they are trying to put me in a spot they're comfortable having me.

I get along with other Aries placements so far. They tend to pick themselves back up after being sad/upset/hardship. Sex talk is common in our conversation. They're open about it - I like that we don't censor or deem it as inappropriate to talk about and it applies to other things. A sense of freedom. I think they understand passion while others may see it as anger. With Aries Venus, I like it when someone go after what they love without questions, because it feels genuine from their heart. this is my 2 cents.

Aries23, my Venus is at 23 degrees :P

I think its the Aries Moon that has you think/perceive that Libra "co-dependecy" is a "weakness". Most Libras I know think of it as more "team involvement"💁🏿‍♂️

Aries Moon is (atleast to me) the Aries energy manifestation from a more "this feels like home" reflective expression. In that Aries Moon "go to" place is more action focused. Then jist passive observance.

I know (for instance) that I will find Aries(Moon/Mars aspect folks too) mostly in combative/ competitive environments i.e. those environments that will get the blood pumping (Tau Moon tends to avoid such).

So Mixed martial arts sports, body-building/fitness competitions, boxing clubs,racing car drivers type of atmosphere etc.

Fankie Muniz(aka "Malcolm in the middle") went from actor to racing car driver. He has Moon in Virgo contra parallel (which is like an opposition aspect) to Mars.💁🏿‍♂️

I sometimes go back forth with my own Mars in Libra Asc opposition. In that I can do team work. But then on the other hand, a part of me always want to "break free". The back/forth tension is seldom ever not there.

Somewhat. I can fit in, but not if it compromises anything that I believe in. I'd rather be on the outside. It also depends on other people, and how they feel about me. I've had issues, when I wasn't an issue, and it was due to someone wanting me out, for whatever reason. Like my sister with her husband, or someone online who tried a few times in the past.

I was bullied as a kid, and dropped out of school because of it. At the previous school, I had been miserable, until I was nice to one of the girls who was dropped from the popular group. Others were, too, and when she was accepted back into the group, she stood up for me, and so did her friends, when a frenemy started in on me.
