Help with my chart

[SylverStar]

I was wondering if anyone could help with my chart. Mostly I was just hoping someone could maybe point out the major features and/or things that might be of interest...that way I could go look them up (meaning wise). I really find figuring out (and understanding) all the math, angles, degrees and such difficult...the interperting part is a little easier for me to grasp. I really hate asking but my curiousity is getting to me and grasping these things is not the easiest. Thanks in advance.

I wonder if you may have been born just before 02:00? At 02:00 your Ascendant is just in Sagittarius, but if you'd been born just one minute before two, you'd be Scorpio rising. Sagittarius rising certainly wouldn't hate asking for a chart :)

So let's start with the "Big Three" - Sun, Moon and Ascendant. Your Ascendant is how you come across to people: we're not sure if you're Scorp or Sag Ascendant; Sag is bold, optimistic, outgoing party girl; Scorpio is deep and intense and a bit shy initially. Your Aquarius Sun is the "real you" lurking underneath - and Aquarius is the mould-breaker, the revolutionary, the humanitarian with lots of esoteric interests. Aquarius is independent.

Your Moon is about how you feel and your emotions - she's in Cancer, the sign she rules, so is a real homebody and concerned with emotional security.

This can be a difficult combo, despite the good Moon - the Aquarius Sun is aloof and independent, even a loner, but the Moon is very nuturing and wants strong roots. Cancer is very conservative, but Aquarius is very revolutionary.

Your Aquarius Sun probably wins out in this conflict because you have revolutionary Uranus on your Ascendant, but there's always a part of you that yearns for the conventional, for home, for apple pie. That Moon is particularly strong because she's the only body on the right hand side of your chart - your chart has a "bucket" formation with the Moon as the "handle" of the bucket - so an awful lot hangs on your emotions. If you are Scorpio rising (rather than Sag), then your chart ruler is Mars - who is kind of shy in Pisces, and hiding away at the bottom of your chart. This, together with the fact that you don't have any earth in your chart, can make is difficult for you to feel rooted or grounded, and this can hit confidence.

This is a chart that really comes into its own after your first Saturn return (this happens when you're nearly thirty). Your Saturn is sitting next to your Jupiter in your tenth house of career, in Libra. This means that you'll be able to balance the conflicting demands in your life, and that revolutionary zeal of the Uranus Ascendant and Aquarius Sun will be structured and tempered by an "exalted" Saturn in Libra. There's a lovely "mutual reception" between Venus and Saturn too - Venus is in the sign ruled by Saturn, Saturn is in the sign ruled by Venus. This is good news for long-term stable relationships - it may not seem that way at the moment, and you may even find Saturn really restricting ("why is everyone else is having fun and I'm not?") in your earlier years, but he'll pay you handsomely in both relationships and career later on.

I actually don't know the exact time I was born...all I get from my dad is 2am. I think I previously determined I was a Sag. ascendant...but your short def. of scorpio seems more fitting...except I'm not intense.

Saying my Sun is the real me sounds odd...but I feel that way. And usually everyone says I should be more like my moon...which I rarely feel. So having Uranus on my Ascendant makes me lean more towards Aquarius? Is it because of the planet or placement on a major aspect (is that the right word)? Does angle/degree influence that? (sorry these are kinda the things I don't understand).

Ok I see the bucket formation...I never really noticed of that before, but now it seems so obvious. A lot resting on my emotions is very me. I actually feel very constrained by the conventional and all that jazz...but occasionally find myself falling into it.

And how can you tell the chart comes into it's own after 1st saturn. Is this because of a strong saturn position?

Ok...this is actually stuff I haven't seen before....but now that you point it out I see it. All but the Saturn thing. Sorry for all the question...but astrology I think has been one of the hardest things for me to understand...and I hate not understanding something...lol.

Oh one more question...the chart you attached has way more lines than the one astro.com gives me...how come?

Thank you, Fluffmeister

That's exactly right - Uranus on your Ascendant makes you very "Uranian", and Uranus rules Aquarius in modern astrology.




And how can you tell the chart comes into it's own after 1st saturn. Is this because of a strong saturn position?


Yes, your Saturn is "exalted" and well placed in the 10th house, and conjunct Jupiter which makes the Saturn "nicer". However, Saturn always makes you wait for your rewards!





Oh one more question...the chart you attached has way more lines than the one astro.com gives me...how come?


I use wider "orbs", so whereas I think two planets 9 degrees apart are square, astro.com may not agree. Also, my chart has a few extra bodies in (I like to use asteroids).



Thank you, Fluffmeister

You're welcome :)

thanks again...that gives me a bit to look into.

Oh I have another question...if my ascendant is Sag...than what would my chart ruler be...and how do you find the chart ruler?

[KEishin]

The chart ruler is the sign that rules the sign on the AC. So finding it is equally easy. Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, so your ruler is Jupiter. :)

Oh ok...I think I knew that. I've forgotten a lot.
