I must say that I can relate to the stereotypes regarding Aries ascendant. Things which are always mentioned in descriptions apply to me I think, especially:
Physical (of course there some nasty genes in it too):
-bigger, longer nose
-bushy eyebrows, well ok.. monobrow
-muscular body (I trained a lot, now less, but the muscularity remained)
-I eat huge amounts of food and stay relatively fit (taurus moon explains my favorite binge eating I suppose)
-average height, strong arms
-ruddish complexion
-scars- legs, palms and cheeks-long fight with hormone imbalance and therefore acne, but I have beaten them up like true Aries does
Not so much for a girl, but with my Libra descendant I'm trying to compensate things with pretty people around me
Psychological
- nervous energy all the time
- must be always in motion, even now my feet are dancing polka
- I like to be first
- no social graces
- talk too fast and chaotic, only when writing I'm taming my stream of conciousness from constant leakage
-blunt
-like hiking and tenting, love travel like the pioneers
-not afraid to travel alone and,well, generally being alone
-thrive on challenges (I regret some bets to this day, but that's life)
-I say a lot of "I"
The ruler of my ascendant is in Aquarius in 11th house, so some of uranian traits apply too, maybe fascination with social sciences, an environmentalist streak and absolute carelessness about my outfit (I suffer so much when I see effortlessly elegant gals).
Also Mercury in Aries conjuct ascendant here- talkative, curious, always trying to learn something or too self absorbed, not sensitive, not understanding small talk and too hasty in practically everything, it depends on the mood. And only liking the beginnings of things! It's so hard to end some things when you feel you have another- always better than the previous- idea, believe me
It's always a concious effort to be nicer and more charming and more womanly, I have to turn it on, because it's needs some mental preparation.
And coffee is always just too much to bear
