Ascendants Guide

The Ascendant is therefore our expression and physical appearance.The funny thing is that precisely what is most obvious to others can be difficult to be aware of for yourself. It is far from always that people are particularly aware of their ascendant and the way they affect other people. Often they know it well and are still surprised when specific words are added.

The Ascendant is always in a zodiac sign, which is why you often hear people say e.g. “I am Capricorn, but have the ascendant in Pisces”.

The interaction between the sun sign and the ascendant sign is important. Some people experience having the ascendant and the Sun in the same sign, which is why they are very harmonious in the way they meet other people and who they are under the surface. But, for others, it can be two very different signs, as in the example of Capricorn and Pisces.

Here the person will be very purposeful and responsible on the inner levels, while he/she will appear more flexible and sensitive on the outside.
People who get to know this person more closely will say “you are far more structured and punctual than you get the impression of when meeting you for the first time”.

Of course, there can also be other factors that come into play when it comes to the ascendant, and which must be taken into account. The Ascendant can be in conjunction with or in another aspect of a planet, which will turn the person’s form of expression towards the qualities of the specific planet, depending on the nature of the aspect and the position of the planet.

Aries

People with the ascendant in Aries are typically very dynamic and impulsive in their way of meeting other people. They have a lot of physical energy and are generally energetic and fast-paced. Something has to happen and these people will do anything not to get bored. Aries ascendants are fun and immediate to be with. There is always something going on in their company, and they have no difficulty meeting new people. They are rarely shy and usually go directly into people with open curiosity. These people are good at coming up with new ideas and they like to act spontaneously on their impulses. The thing is, if they don’t do something right away, it’s quite unlikely that they’ll ever do anything, because tomorrow there’s a new idea that comes along, and they’re on the road of life.

People with Aries on the ascendant need to be in motion and rarely sit down for long periods. As children, they are very active and when they finally settle down they go out like a light.

If they are held up and have to wait for others, they typically become restless and can become irritable. If they are in a pack, they like to be the one who runs ahead and finds the way.

Of the not-so-flattering qualities, we can mention a strong urge for competition, where they need to win in both small and big things, and this applies to all the people they meet on their way. They have a quick temper and can easily boil over and scold their surroundings. It can be difficult to be present in front of other people, as they find it difficult to linger and immerse themselves in a conversation or a topic for a long time at a time.

Aries ascendants typically have good self-confidence, but this can lead to an arrogant and, at worst, rude way of speaking to others.

 

Taurus

People with the ascendant in the sign of Taurus appear calm and stable in their encounters with other people. They take one thing at a time and usually need time and peace around them for their chores.

Taurus ascendants listen to what people say and use their senses to form an overall impression of those they meet on their path. They are rarely in a hurry, and at least enjoy when they are not in a hurry, but take the time to be in the moment and focus on the situation they are in right now.

Typically, people with Taurus on the ascendant are easy-going and like to feel well-being in their bodies. They seek pleasure and enjoyment and can find it in many different ways. They do not thrive in hectic and rapidly changing environments but appreciate the recognizable and ordinary. They care about their ingrained habits, and can thus be very tradition-bound.

The word cute is often used for these people. They are good at being aware of other people’s basic needs, and they are happy to fetch an extra pillow or make a special cup of tea if that is what is needed.

They can create a good and pleasant atmosphere around them of coziness and presence. With the Taurus, there is time for a long conversation. They are very loyal to their friends and partners, they hold fast to their friendships and close relationships, and if something breaks or is broken, it can be difficult for them to recover from the loss.

Of not-so-positive things, it can be said that people with the Taurus ascendant can be quite stubborn and fixed in their perception of what is happening around them. They can be inflexible and can have a really hard time if their plans and expectations are not met. It is not always that they completely capture what is happening under the surface or in the dialogue between people. They take things at face value and may therefore have difficulty understanding other people’s experiences and considerations.

 

Gemini

People with the Ascendant in Gemini are typically very dynamic, quick, and changeable. With this sign on the Ascendant, these people are outgoing and quick to perceive what is happening around them.

Gemini meets people with immediacy and curiosity and likes to ask a lot of questions. The conversation is lively and there is a change from topic to topic at a pace that can make it difficult for others to follow. The approach to the outside world is mental and based on the information and knowledge that is available. Lives are debated and discussed, but it can be difficult to maintain focus in the conversation.

Gemini ascendants are usually slim, tall, and flexible in their build and body language. They are athletic and quick in their movements. They usually always have a plan and are on their way from one place to another. Physically, their stamina is not that strong, but they are quick to get back on their feet if they have been knocked down. Flexibility is their strength, and they can behave very well in changing situations, they quickly form an overview and can immediately make a new plan and take action.

These people like to have a large network and know many different people. They are good at both using and caring for their contacts. They love meeting people and exchanging information at all levels. They always have their finger on the pulse and know what is going on among people.

Some say that the Gemini ascendant can seem superficial and impatient. Perhaps this is because they do not enjoy immersing themselves and being in the same place for a long time at time. They are also sometimes accused of gossiping about others and not having a limit to their curiosity. They are not always so attentive to the person or persons who are in their presence, because they are instead busy talking about precisely those who are not present.

 

Cancer

People with Cancer on the ascendant are sensitive and sensitive. They are very good at sensing other people and can use their interpersonal intuition in their encounters with others. They are nice and nice people who go out of their way to make people feel welcome in their company. They like to gather people around them but do it quietly and indirectly, taking the initiative but not making a fuss about it.

These people don’t like being the center of a gathering, but that doesn’t mean they don’t like being validated for their ability to get along with others. They are helpful and attentive to people in need, and in a social company, they like to go to the one who stands by himself in the corner and seems to be outside. They don’t let themselves be blindly impressed by fancy clothes and expensive things, instead, they look for human substance and sincerity, because they respect that.

Cancer ascendants can be controlling and domineering in their quiet way. That’s why they don’t like sudden changes either. They like the familiar and the usual and must have time to adjust if changes occur. They love traditions and stick to them, whether it’s in the small things in everyday life or on the bigger holidays.

Some would argue that these people can be close-minded and easily offended. They are very sensitive and sensitive to how they perceive others treat them. They are not always so good at talking straight out of the bag but wrap things up thoroughly, and in some cases, it is beyond recognition. They remember every insult like an elephant, and they rarely go back to a person with whom they have been on edge. On the surface, they can be quite domineering and on a bad day, they can stubbornly stick to their plans and ideas without being responsive to the common sense of others.

Leo

Leo ascendants are typically immediate and straightforward in their dealings with other people. They exude confidence and strength.

These people are known for wanting to be the center of attention. They are not afraid of being seen and noticed, and often have the charisma and radiance to fit in well in the company of other people. They enjoy life and are very fond of social sociability and rarely say no to an invitation. It is such with Leo ascendants that they have a need to feel seen and confirmed by their surroundings.

The worst thing you can do to these people is to ignore them. They partly live off the energy they can get from their audience, so they need to get their “stage time”, and it doesn’t matter if it is in a junkyard or at the national theatre. They pride themselves on radiating strength. And it is precisely their strength that they like to use to help and support other people. When they see a person in need, they are often very willing to lend a hand and take the person under their wing. Thus, you also often see that Leo ascendants have many friends and acquaintances, to whom they provide support and

Leo ascendants are recognizable by their flashy exteriors. A big hair show that is allowed to fill and smart and original clothes that make them stand out from the crowd. When they walk on the street, they are not afraid to address strangers, and if they go out alone among others, it is not long before they have made contact, and sociability flourishes around them.

Some accuse Leo ascendants of becoming domineering and bossy. These people will fight for their position and at times it can be difficult for them to see when the battle is over. They can be very stubborn and stuck in their way of doing things, but if you approach them with sincerity and honesty, they pretty much always let the parades fall, because these are values they value very much.

Virgo

People with the ascendant in Virgo take pride in being in control of the details. This does not mean that they always have it, but that they do what they can to appear as if.

These people are very analytical and attentive in their encounters with others. They see all the small details and are very aware of what kind of expression they are sending out. They carefully choose the composition and style of their clothes, because it is important to them that it fits the expression they want for their personality.

Virgo ascendants are often slim and neat people who are good at carrying themselves in very different social contexts.

For Virgo ascendants, it is important to make a good impression on others. These people take great pains to be in the right way concerning their own set of values. They want to behave properly and are usually always welcoming and pleasant when meeting others. They are quite open-minded, and it takes a lot before they express their criticism to another person. It is not as important that they agree with others and do not have their own opinion, because they are ashamed of it, they just don’t air it in all contexts.

If you get below the surface of this person, you will see that there is a world behind that you cannot see from the outside. Often, these people are very interested in creative and artistic types, because they represent precisely the disorder and chaos that they cannot live in. Often, they get a strong urge to clean up and systematize when they see something messy, practical, and concrete it is completely practical and concrete or it is in a meeting with another person.

Their analytical ability is strong and dominant, which also means that for some they can seem a little distant and absent. They do not allow themselves to be overwhelmed by emotional feelings in a given situation, but always try to find the logic and what is right and reasonable. This may give them an air of exalted arrogance, but it is far from what they want. They often see it as their job to serve and support others.

Libra

Libra ascendants are good at enchanting others with their charm. These people are usually very sweet, nice, and welcoming to others. They walk right into people with clogs on and are rarely hampered by shyness. They are very happy with the beautiful aspects of life and are therefore romantic and generally interested in art and design. They usually always look good and have made an effort with their clothing and style, without necessarily feeling locked into a perfect exterior.

These people defend the weak in society and are often very socialist in their views. They are incredibly open-minded in their view of people and often have friendships and contact with people from very different backgrounds.

In any group, it is a plus to have a Libra ascendant with them, because they know how to create cohesion and include everyone in the get-together. They hate conflict and are often the ones who do everything possible to settle disputes.
When asked to choose a side, they prefer to flee rather than take sides. Similarly, it can also be difficult for them to make a choice. They are curious about life and want to try everything fun and nice, so it can be really hard for them to miss something. This sometimes puts them in a difficult situation, because they cannot be in several places at once.

Libra ascendants are sometimes accused of being superficial because they are always busy with what needs to happen next. They may find it difficult to focus on the moment and just enjoy the situation they are in. Many people like these people, but it can be a challenge to get up close and personal with them because they are always thinking too on everything else, and they rarely come up with clear statements when it comes to their position and point of view on a given issue.

Scorpio

People with Scorpio ascendants are typically a little withdrawn and reserved in their first meeting with other people. They are very observant and listen, and often have to look at a situation before they open up and participate actively. These people are very emotional and sensitive. Their antennae are very sharp and they sense and feel the things that are going on below the surface. They are quick to understand what mood other people are in, and they feel e.g. clear misunderstandings and underlying conflicts. Some may therefore also perceive them as fragile and close-minded, which they are not necessary, they just perceive much more of the world of emotions than many others do.

With this sensitivity, these people can be very empathetic and sympathetic. They usually want to talk about what is real and current, rather than superficial nonsense. They prefer to remain silent rather than say something meaningless. Thus, they can often see through when people are lying or trying to pretend something other than what is the truth. They value honesty and sincerity, and these very values are important when choosing their friends and partners.

These people can be very attractive with their somewhat restrained energy. There is a mysterious and alluring glow about them. They radiate an earnestness and depth that for some is very breathtaking, while others perceive their radiance and shape as domineering and feel intimidated.

Scorpio ascendants are known to speak their minds and at times it can be very direct and confrontational to others. If they feel stepped on and violated, they never forget it, because forgiveness is not something that comes naturally to them. Some of them also go so far as to hold a grudge and seek revenge, and here they can wait for years for the right chance to give again to arise.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius ascendants are usually some very interesting people to meet. They are very talkative and approachable and therefore find it easy to strike up a conversation with other people wherever they meet them. They are very curious about all areas of life and are therefore generally well-informed about news and world events. They love to debate and discuss, and although they talk a lot, they are generally also interested in how life is viewed by others.

People with the ascendant in Sagittarius like to talk about travel and foreign countries. They are fascinated by how life is lived in its diversity, and love meeting people from other cultures. Whether they travel out themselves and see something of the big world is far from a given, for some it is probably just to seek knowledge in books and on the internet.

There is a lot of energy in these people, and they seem like quite a mouthful to some. They are dynamic and rarely stay at the same thing for long. They dread routines and fixed patterns and like to seek variety and change. In their expression, they are very changeable. Their wardrobe is in no way dominated by a single style, but rather by many combinations and preferably clothes from different cultures. In a social company, they are good at seeing the context in which they find themselves and can deal with both high and low.

They are sometimes criticized for being too idealistic and superficial in their way of meeting other people. It can be difficult with the presence and calmness around them, and for people who may need attention in a difficult situation, it can be difficult to get through to them. While their heart is burning for the big special things in life, they may forget to provide care in everyday life for those who are closest to them.

Capricorn

People with Capricorn ascendant are typically very presentable and orderly in their expression. They take pride in being trustworthy and trustworthy. These people inspire natural respect in others, as they have a calm and composed manner that leaves the impression that they have everything under control. There is a conservative streak about them, where they often dress in a classic and subdued style, and in no way want to make a splash.

They like to take on responsibilities and tasks, and in social contexts, they are the ones who make things go smoothly. They can structure, plan and distribute tasks, and are not afraid to roll up their sleeves and take action themselves. They like to follow their plan and do not thrive on change or unpredictability. Thus, they are also good at getting the things they set out to do and getting tasks carried out.

There is a seriousness that goes with them that also makes others find them very reliable. They abhor laziness and indolence and take pride in being rewarded for their efforts and nothing more. Thus, they do not want to take credit from others, while at the same time they are very conscious of their worth. If they are challenged in a conflict, they stand strong on their views, and it can be difficult for them to come to terms with that.

Their manner can well become downright authoritarian, and for some, it can end up in a know-it-all and arrogance. But when they come under pressure, it happens that the facade cracks for these people and suddenly they can no longer maintain a calm exterior. And then it is that they can appear completely different and it can be quite a surprise for others what it is that they are hiding under the surface.

Aquarius

People born with the Aquarius ascendant are those who are not afraid to stand out from the crowd. They often go dressed in clothes and robes that are original and different and they in no way follow the usual fashion. They go against the grain and are not afraid to speak their mind about the many facets of life. And what they think is usually something that can challenge others in their positions.

But, although these people are on the one hand independent and do not want to go with the flow, they are also very friendly and welcoming. They are generally interested in other people and are open-minded and open-minded. They take pride in being able to meet all people with equality and respect, and it doesn’t matter if it’s the royal family or the homeless.

They are good at making contacts and usually have a large social network. They are very talkative and can quickly move from one topic to another, making it challenging for others to follow them.

Sometimes they also talk so much that talking to them can seem more like a monologue than a dialogue.

Stubbornness is one of the descriptions often used about them, and that can be for both good and bad. They can be unwaveringly stuck in an attitude or opinion, and find it difficult to budge, as for them it feels like losing face. On the other hand, they have the willpower to deal with opposition and disagreement. They do not allow themselves to be cowed by authorities or people high on straws. They almost like standing up to authority figures, which can however give them some challenges along the way in life. In a workplace, they may find it difficult to conform to the unspoken norms and rules that apply, which is why they also often thrive best-being freelancers or self-employed.

Pisces

People with Pisces on the ascendant are very sensitive and sensitive. They are extremely good at picking up and understanding the small signals and moods that others don’t notice at all. In their encounter with the outside world, they are waiting and listening. They are not in a hurry to impress and convince others of something, on the contrary, they would rather hear what others have to say. Thus, one should not make the mistake of thinking that they do not form their own opinion, because they do, but they do not necessarily need to express it.

One of the great resources these people have is their flexibility and ability to see the bigger picture in all of life’s situations. They are in no way judgmental towards others they meet on their way, for they have a natural humility in not knowing in advance what the situation of others is. Their understanding of others is great and they are generally generous with their compassion and support.

One of the things that can annoy others about these people is that they are rarely specific and concrete in their statements. They may tend to weave and run in circles rather than say what they mean directly. For them, it is just rare that something is unambiguous. They see the complexity and diversity of life and can have real difficulty separating things. Therefore, it can also be difficult to make decisions and have them implemented.

They are typically very creative and love art and culture. They are very selective in their tastes because they react very strongly to the mood or energy that comes with e.g. a work of art. They seek harmony and peace but can have a really hard time finding it in this busy world. In their own practical life, they can be quite chaotic and find it difficult to structure their everyday life. Again, it’s their flexibility, because they want to go with the flow and feel their way forward, which just doesn’t always harmonize with our contemporary society.
