Hi All,
I have a question -- My brother is 27 degree cancer rising, meaning he only has 3 degrees of Cancer in his first house (Placidius system) -- To me, he has much more Leo energy than Cancer in the way he presents to the world. I was wondering how meaningul the rising sign if it only partially rules the first house. I have noticed this with other people as well -- that what ever is predominant in the first house is more evident than the rising sign (if it is on the cusp). Maybe this is an obvious point, but it seems that rising signs can be misleading in this sense. Also, can someone explain to me the merits of the different house systems? I find it confusing...
and another random question -- what are the various interpretations of natal mercury retrograde? my boyfriend has this and he thinks it makes him spacey or forgetful -- is this just an excuse?!
thanks.
