Asc in Libra I consider the Ascendant to be one's “conditioned” self or the “mask” that one wears to best integrate one with his/her immediate environment.
With Asc in Libra, one consciously had to learn to be fair, moderate, balanced and look at both sides.
Good manners like “please”, “no thank you” and “pleasure” are actively integrated into one’s personality and one views the world as how one responds to it.
If, for instance, one is good to the world, the world will be good to one etc.
If one is fair to others, one believes that others will be fair to them.
One believes an equitable relationship is possible with all the relationships that surround them.
Also likely is that the natives maternal environment was one where good behaviour, good grooming and a good personal image were expected; either expressed openly or tacitly.
As from this “adaption”, one’s aptitude for relating to people as equals is borne.
This is the part of the personality that is conditioned and will is often called upon when necessary.
Sun in Gemini
The Sun is the identity of the individual and is progressively who the individual expresses themselves as being as they grow older.
With the Sun in Gemini, the nature of expansion and growth is tied into the constantly developing talents of the mind (Air).
One could have a gift for speaking with natural flair, wit and charm. One may also be graced with intelligence and an ability to match whatever environment one is in.
Gemini, much like Pisces, can be a chameleon and their ability to get on with everyone makes them very popular.
The Sun is also where one’s talents and possible career inclinations may be founded-because this is the part of the personality that is inimitable and one is consciously striving towards fulfilling.
Saturn in Pisces squares the Sun.
The square always suggests a difficulty in integrating two energies of the planets into a coherent form.
Saturn square Sun speaks of taking on responsibility as part of one’s continual development.
One interpretation of Saturn in Pisces is “one who carries the weight of the world on their shoulders”.
With Saturn squaring the Sun, one attempts to integrate the caring nature of Saturn in Pisces with the light-hearted Sun in Gemini.
One may attempt to solve emotional complexities that plague them (Saturn) using mental talents.
Mercury in Gemini in the same sign as the Sun
Mercury, also in Gemini, adds to the dexterity of the personality and extends it to the mind and mental abilities.
The best trait of Mercury in Gemini is being able to process information quickly and articulation is also a natural trait.
If you wish to gain further insight into the traits of the Sun’s position, look to how you communicate; your words, your tone, language used etc.
You may “grade” yourself on how intelligent and effective you are as a speaker / writer /communicator.
The Moon is in Leo
What the moon represents is the unconscious or “knee-jerk” reaction to things.
It is the part of us that is our “comfort zone”.
With the Moon in Leo, the self-esteem is connected to creative expression (Leo). The keywords here are “adoration”, “admiration” and “to be favoured”.
The Leo Moon makes it a point to stand out and be seen or appreciated: Think of someone who soaks up applause and recognition in the showbiz environment and one may have an idea of what the Moon in Leo innately desires and finds comfort from.
At best, one can be the life of the party and be a source of great warmth and happiness. At worst, one can be an attention hoarder who is self-important.
Pluto in Scorpio squares One’s Moon in Leo.
One interpretation of Pluto in Scorpio is “one who desires to go deeper and further in the exploration of answers to why things are the way they are”.
One can call the Pluto in Scorpio the perpetual investigator because, with this placement, there is a desire to explore, in depth, what the native considers to be of interest and, in turn, master that.
The square always suggests a desire to integrate the two energies involved, but struggling to find the best way on “how” to do so.
Pluto in Scorpio is serious and investigative. It is thrill seeking and unafraid-usually stirring controversy wherever it leads and indifferent to other’s response.
Leo Moon desires to be upheld in the positive light and adored, to be the “beloved” one and to bask in compliments and praise.
The square of Pluto to the Moon in Leo, interpreted very loosely, suggests an individual who uses fun, creativity and self expression in trying to express their interest in the “bigger” “unanswered” questions of life.
To illustrate my point it could be someone who likes thrill sports or someone who paints pictures with a dark undertone or someone who is able to thrive in a hostile/competitive(Pluto) environment(Moon).
Whatever the venture, there is always a “Pluto” undertone with regards to one’s expression of the Moon in Leo position.
The classic metaphor is someone who likes to play a villain on stage; thereby getting praise (Leo) for being oh so bad (Scorpio).
Moon in Leo shares the same sign with Mars (also in Leo)
Mars is conscious intent /action. Mars is also the effort we put into something to make it material.
Mars in Leo is indicative of personal involvement (fire) in making things happen.
Mars in Leo may be indicative of someone who may need to put their “face” in the forefront of what they want. They need to be the driver in making whatever it is that they desire, happen.
With Moon and Mars sharing the sign of Leo, much of one’s heart is invested in what one puts effort into. There is seldom a “half measure”- especially when the emotions are involved.
One may take great pride in what they do and thus be the “driver” of making things materialize due to the sheer dominance of their presence.
If the heart is not invested in the outcome, it is likely that neither will the drive to relaize it.
Much of the inner nature is passionate and determined.
Think of this aspect as someone who loves to perform (Moon in Leo) and invests much effort and time and doing so (Mars in Leo).
Someone who loves the attention of others(Moon in Leo) and invests much time in ensuring they get it(Mars in Leo)
