Hello everyone,

cancer is dominant and opportun
Oh yeah, tiger come and get me... :lol:

And as a leo I have to say... Yes leos can also be shy, depends probably also on their Ascendent and whole family- and life-story. But in private situations I would say, they are never ever shy or quiet (or at least in 99.9 %?!).

PS: What actually means unconscious? I know the word, but in other words?

Which ascendant is:

always smiling,
but quiet
When meet new people: first shy, always listening and observing, trying to figure out if the person shows superficiality or deepness... and if the persons are sympathetic and outgoing he'll talks alot... but when persons are shy too, he stays in his ground.
Seems inocent and maybe dumb, but inside very smart
Don't like to talk about his conquers, even when he knows he is the best, he always shows modesty and humbleness.
Get hurt very easily, with critics and distant behavior,
With strangers or with people he's not confident around, he can "lie" to be just kind/polite. He hates hurting someone.
But with family and close friends, he's very honest and frontal.
When hurt, can get very agressive
Is very anxious, and have very pessimistics toughts
Dreams about being a parent and have a home...
Impulsive....
A bit nostalgic and depressive...
Don't search being the center of attention, but likes when it happens.
Has a strong bond with his mom

What ascendant could be a person like this?

My moon is in Pisces, but I'm not sure if these traits of my personality came from my moon sign or not? Is this sound like pisces? Or sounds like another one?

Raquel, apart from one small detail, you've just described me, to a point that is almost scary. Plus, you share my name. How cool is that? =P

I'm a Pisces (sun) and Cancer ascendant. So I'm not really helping here... lol
Or maybe I am. Maybe I just answered your question?

All water signs can be sulky and moody
cancer is family orientated, shrewd in business but tight. Cancer is a 'worrier' (so is virgo)

pisces is a dreamer, fantasizer,
restless, procrastinating and indecisive, (same as gemini and libra)

Leo is sociable, extrovert, bossy, well organised, controlling, do anything for anybody provided it's *centre of attention* can be arrogant, too much pride, liable to tantrums/drama queeens.

massive difference bewteen Leo and Cancer. What you need to remember is there are 10planets in a natal chart, which could be in any one of 12houses. You are not the sum total of your sun sign, mercury can only be upto one sign away from your sun sign, and venus can only be upto two signs away from your sun sign.

Planets are modified by signs, where they express are houses and how they express are *aspects*

Now, if your sun is conjunct one of the 'outers' ie: Saturn, Uranus, Neptune or Pluto then your sun will be strongly afflicted by this influence and will take on the outer planets energies, thereby become a Saturn/Capricorn, Uranus/aquarius, Neptune/pisces and Pluto/scorpio

so unless you have times of birth and charts to look at your are basically ***psd in the wind :love:

so, basically do you worry? are you family orientated? good at hanging onto your money?

Just briefly, according to member Kannon [Cardinal signs are more rounded. Fixed signs are rectangular or blocky. Mutable signs are longish or narrow]

could be pisces, but sounds like virgo --ups read your post later. maybe you are cancer. do you have good/ lots of relationships to watersigns? because you are loaded with fire, so naturally these are more confrontational combinations.

well look at this:

Can I see your whole chart please? Even if you are Leo rising, there might be some things giving you lots of Cancer tendencies (i.e. midpoint, aspects to or from Cancer planets or Moon.) There are a bajillion aspects and signs that are good with money, or at least don't spend it constantly, so I wouldn't go by that alone for Cancer.

Cancer is cardinal/initiating or "born" or "reborn" and Pisces is mutable/transforming or "dying" (Birth - Living - Death - Rebirth of an element repeatedly = Grand Trine.) All feminine signs are introvert (feminine is receptive, they're receiving when they're looking into themselves) and all masculine signs are extrovert (masculine is expressive, they're expressing onto other people. It's sort of an analogy with physiological masculinity and femininity and also shade and light or yin and yang.) Dry signs separate things apart, wet signs bring things together. Dry masculine can get along better with dry feminine than wet masculine can with wet feminine because wet and wet will basically cohere, while dry and dry can separate apart. Fixed signs also have the hardest hard aspects because they just keep doing what they're doing and don't change anything. Cardinal to fixed is the worst disjunct (or quincunx) because one tries to initiate while the other tries to stay in place. The worst disjunct would be either cardinal wet extrovert to fixed wet introvert, or cardinal wet introvert to fixed wet extrovert. Only one of these exists, and it's cardinal wet introvert to fixed wet extrovert, also known as Aquarius to Cancer. Aquarius and Pisces have a harmonic aspect between them (or more depending on the specific degrees) so there's no real problem there. Since Cancer is initiating it can give itself a "shell" while Pisces has to adapt, so without specific aspects Cancer could do a better job hiding emotions. Introvert signs tend to be more conservative since they're more concerned with themselves internally, while extrovert signs tend to be more liberal since they're more concerned with general welfare. Mutable is adaptable so naturally they are more open to things since they can adapt to them than cardinal, which is about starting or changing things, or fixed, which is about keeping things going. Cardinal seems to want to keep getting more and more things started as relates to their element but they (in isolation) can't sustain so fixed signs end up, counter-intuitively (intuition is bunk,) more open or progressive-minded or non-change-adverse than cardinal signs, despite being based around keeping up a sort of status quo. All the wet signs seem to have a sort of duality to them, although the fixed signs, being fixed, don't really show this as changeability so much as being impossible to figure out.

I'm sorry for how badly organized that was.

You want me to do more explaining of why astrology works the way it works?

Astrology is really confusing at times, and really hard to pin down...

I am a Leo (sun,moon,merc,mars) with a Pis Asc Can Venus....
I have an earth void (meaning no planets in earth)

And well I am more "virgo" than anything...
Why???

Because All my Leo planets are in H6 (the virgo house) also all of my Leo has progressed to Virgo... (well moon is at cap)

This describes me really well... I have Cancer rising... but I also have a lot of other aspects in my chart that might contribute to this list also besides just my ascendant. I'm still too new to give a definite answer but my intuition tells me this could be cancer ascendant.

You look, and from what I've seen on the boards, just "seem" more like a cancer rising, overall. And yes I realise that i haven't seen the rest of your chart, but going on first impressions alone (which is the ascendant's domain), I put my vote in for cancer.

You have the Moon in Pisces and Jupiter in Cancer. That's mutual reception. The Sun in Libra ruled by Venus in Sagittarius ruled by Jupiter in Cancer would deposit to this reception. So yes, you rising sign is really hard to tell and I'd recommend doing progressions, transits, solar arcs on your chart to find out, or getting someone to do them for you if you don't want to learn how at the moment. I figured out my Ascendant was Aquarius and not Capricorn using predictive techniques like this. Even better, you can figure out the exact degree as well.

I don't know anyone to do me that... and I don't know how to do it as well:sad:

You look very Leo in all your pictures, but you're going to be more watery because your chart has all 3 watery planets (using Jupiter instead of Neptune because it's domiciled and Pluto instead of Mars because it's domiciled) in watery signs and a mutual reception by both domicile and triplicity with one of the planets already exalted, but fire empty except for Mercury in Sagittarius (which is not strongly placed on your chart in any of multiple ways it could be.) Can you also post the additional tables so I can see your Ascendant aspects by latitude and declination?
