The Ascendant in Gemini is highly sensitive to movement, transitions, and information. It is difficult for them to focus on something static, delve deeply into a subject, or pause to process and understand what they have heard. Geminis struggle to form their own opinions. They are at the mercy of the informational flow that passes through them; in other words, they think exactly what they say and believe everything they hear — especially what they read.

Then they might read something entirely contradictory and believe that too. However, this doesn't bother them much. They are comfortable with the contradictions in their nature — they don't dwell on them. There's no time. What they said yesterday doesn't concern them; only what they're saying today matters.

The Ascendant in Gemini live as prisoners within a framework of mental forms, their own and those created by various groups and layers, where they constantly revolve and play an important, connecting role. Due to the specificity of their role, Geminis intuitively determine whether a thought or message is suitable for a particular social circle. However, they struggle to discern its truthfulness, meaning its alignment with reality.

It is difficult for them to focus on anything static, delve deeply into a subject, or slow down. Their self-esteem is closely tied to their intellect and the brilliance of their mental expression, less so to their capacity for mental perception, as they often believe they quickly understand everything. They feel bored when there's no one to talk to, no new acquaintances, or no transformations happening — whether in life or in the intellectual sphere.

The Ascendant in Gemini may come across as cold because they convey feelings through tired constructs. At best, these constructs reflect intellect; at worst, they resemble social clichés, lacking genuine empathy or emotional experience. They rationally model both the outer and, more importantly, their inner world, which often results in misunderstandings or distortions.

However, their personality — especially with a strong 1st house — wields significant influence over both external and internal realms, as their thoughts direct energy. Development for them involves deepening their thinking (to avoid superficiality) and engaging in essential, non-mental understanding of religious and philosophical ideas that inspire further growth. They need to learn to recognize the limits of intellectual analysis and avoid extending it into realms of ideas, impulses, and raw emotional sensations.

The Ascendant in Gemini inhabit a neatly compressed, small world where everything fits perfectly. Every detail is highlighted, and they mentally know it belongs exactly where it is. Yet, deep inside, they slowly lose interest in this world and begin to search for an escape. That escape may lie in the present if they can release their need to please everyone, let go of the demand for perfect meaning, and uncover the greater part of their being, which lies dormant, hoping to see a brighter future.

The Ascendant in Gemini is more adaptable than any other sign. They can talk to anyone about anything and always find a way to convey the necessary information. However, this is also their Achilles' heel — they often get caught up in trivialities. Sometimes, a major problem cannot be resolved by breaking it down into a dozen smaller issues. Likewise, a big opportunity can be forgotten at a bus stop while chasing after a handful of minor pleasures.

If Ascendant in Gemini argue with someone (and they love to), they can easily drive to despair. First, their erudition and sharp wit can be overwhelming. Second, they don't actually listen to you; they respond to form rather than the substance of what you say. Third — and most frustratingly — they rarely express their own opinion (as they may not have one) but rather reflect the stance of a particular social circle or an opinion picked up from somewhere else entirely. In those rare cases when you manage to out talk a Gemini, they don't get upset.

After all, for them, the argument wasn't with you but with the vast trove of information they've collected bit by bit. In debates and conversations, when the need arises to confirm or refute a thought, Geminis may finally glimpse the truth hidden between the ideas of others.

Even covered in mud, an Ascendant in Aries will radiate a fiery charisma, unfazed by the world's gaze. Often eclipsing other authorities, they might be oblivious to their burning pants, impulsive actions without a backup plan leading them into dead ends. When cornered, an Ascendant in Aries can turn dull, gray, and lethargic, falling into a depression difficult to lift with mental persuasion. They need internal, or at least external, energy — perhaps a kick or a reminder of their exceptional radiance. Passivity and blindly following impulsive energy hinders their full potential; the more questions an Ascendant in Aries explores, the better they can understand and control their willful impulses.

Life experiences, tempered by Mars energy, usually teach them to temper their immediate reactions, revealing their genuine self. Their feelings, whether love or hate, acceptance or rejection, including of themselves and others, are expressed with raw intensity, often suppressing or destroying what they find unacceptable. An Ascendant in Aries often underestimates the threat posed by their enemies, lacking a sense of danger. They will continue to suffer until they learn to study their adversaries, adopting their strengths, such as calmness, impartiality, and adherence to principles over passionate desires. For an Ascendant in Aries, extreme highs and lows are the norm. Instead of seeking stability, they often strive for even greater heights, even if it means self-destruction. But what happens when they've burned themselves out completely? Energy will regenerate, but with each cycle, it will take longer.

The Ascendant in Taurus is fundamentally about form, having just discovered its own shape and being utterly unwilling to relinquish this newfound sense of self. In their fully realized state, they have the power to awaken consciousness in those who are lost or despairing. Their presence exudes a gentle charm that disarms any inclination to engage in harsh criticism, instead inviting one to join them in a reality where everything is simple, peaceful, and secure. This realm is devoid of intense passions, unfathomable transcendence, frantic energy, or the overwhelming pressure of intellectual brilliance.

However, this attachment to form makes them very vulnerable and insecure when new conditions arise. When they encounter unfamiliar forms with which they must somehow relate, they become lost.

The Ascendant in Taurus are highly selective in the forms they deem suitable for themselves. They possess a peculiar tendency not to actively create their ideal form but rather to wait for it to manifest, ready to receive and embody it. While intellectually comprehending the elusiveness of this ideal, they cling to the hope that their envisioned form exists and will eventually emerge.

By its very essence, Ascendant in Taurus draws a diverse array of forms towards itself, possessing an innate ability to appreciate them without altering their intrinsic nature. They refrain from actively seeking out the form they desire, instead opting to passively endure its absence, patiently awaiting its arrival. Once they successfully adapt to the surrounding forms and establish themselves amidst those they particularly cherish, they ascend into a state of contentment, becoming so deeply identified with their chosen form that extracting them from it and compelling them to change proves exceedingly challenging.

The Ascendant in Taurus individuals embody a unique challenge when it comes to personal transformation, particularly when their chosen form aligns with self-destructive tendencies. Embodied in their current form, they have become accustomed to blurring the boundaries of rationality, a trait that extends to their deeply ingrained subconscious programs. Engaging in an argument with them on a topic they hold dear is an exercise in futility. While they may exhibit a degree of naivety towards unfamiliar concepts, within their realm of psychological expertise, they possess remarkable receptivity and a unique ability to materialize mental processes.

A conversation with the Ascendant in Taurus about an elusive, deeply personal matter often reveals a transformation of this intangible concept into a tangible form. This process not only unveils the essence of the discussed topic but also brings to light other aspects of their inner world that were previously shrouded in the mist of mystical uncertainty.

Mars in Aquarius carries such a saturated energy that it is capable of turning over public consciousness and subconsciousness. It can create new thoughts in the minds of others and clear the space for ideas that could not have appeared without its help. Even if it is difficult for him to fully concentrate and he is able to hold his focus only for a short time, he continues to live by the rules of «‎I do what I want» and cannot be changed.

Unknowable nature, fogginess of mind, Mars in Aquarius is characterized by frequent variability of impulses, and those that may absolutely not correspond to his ideals. He may get sick from the lack of a sense of proportion, to the point that he may lose the idea of what he really can do and what will never be within his power.

No matter how promising he is, Mars in Aquarius has the mistaken opinion that the lightness of thought and the extraordinary energy should be directed eccentrically to areas that have neither the possibility of being realized in reality, nor a constructive idea in itself. Only he himself can stop on this false path. His energy is always stable, coldish, but much more impersonal; the expression «energy flows through him» suits him. He is never an emotionally ecstatic individual who is always too much, he is not an anarchist who creates only revolutions.

Mars in Aquarius is not a prisoner of emotions, no conventions, restrictions and limitations do not carry for him any special truth for which he is able to jump into an angry crowd. He is a conductor of a new reality, he is a killer of predictability and with a cold mind he is able to endure any hardship. He can be defeated in the eyes of others, but it is impossible to defeat his spirit.

Mars in Pisces has an influence on reality itself and the situations that occur to them. They subtly and imperceptibly transform everything into something they need for themselves. They are completely subject to their emotions and follow them, often acting to their own detriment. Even in moments when they want to help, it happens that Pisces act on the principle of "push the falling one." They stimulate rapid and complete disintegration of situations, they are sensitive to the environment in which they find themselves and if it becomes bad, they are able to simply swim away. Even if it destroys someone or something irreversibly.

Pisces can broadcast their inner world and emotions to the environment, dragging others into their black abyss. Mars in Pisces gives a stormy reaction, even to the most insignificant irritants. They give themselves out where they are not needed, where they again provoke disintegration and collapse.

Mars in Pisces are not always fickle, as there are many things to which they are deeply committed. However, they have the knowledge that no one and nothing can hold them anywhere for the long term.

Mars in Pisces is ready to sacrifice. They are ready to give up, surrender, and let go, even if they are not sure if there will be anything else after that. Due to their inner plasticity, Pisces are very sensitive to the environment in which they find themselves. They will not engage in targeted change of where they are: one hint that they are not doing well and they disappear. They know how to get out of a situation instinctively. When they only manage to enter the space, they already know which way they will get out.

They are internally so plastic and fluid that the psyche for a long time seems to them to be a single whole that does not require and does not allow any structuring and even the allocation of individual parts.

Mars in Pisces is not interested in specific confrontations. When faced with someone head-on, they are more likely to withdraw from participation, any confrontation seems petty and limiting. They do not see the point in concentrating their energies, they tend to disperse them into something more spatial. If they are given the opportunity to forgive someone, they will do so, but it does not mean that Pisces have given up. It means that they are trying to rise above the situation.

It is not for nothing that the symbol of the sign is two Fishes swimming in opposite directions and meaning the higher and lower beginning of the person, but internally the Pisces is very complete, it goes up the path of evolution and always plunges completely, without agonizing inner duality.

They are prone to deception in active actions - the person himself deceives consciously or unconsciously, in word and deed, but they are deceived in the same way.

Mars in Virgo is constantly tempted to believe that he is the one who must redo all the work and put the world in order. When the individual does not cope with the work that he pushes on himself, starts to stumble, it begins to seem to him that the world is hopelessly chaotic and bringing order is impossible; nevertheless, inside he feels an inherent desire to do this and each time his appetites grow, he builds more and more global perfect ideas.

He lives in his own illusion of perfection and is sensitively responsive to external pressures when someone represents a risk of changing his daily life. Feeling the imperfection in the actions of other people, he can experience extreme distrust of every new person he meets. Mars in Virgo will always find out where others are wrong, he will definitely find that very flaw in a person that will convince him that all his tactics in communication were predetermined to fail.

Mars in Virgo may be somewhat contemptuous of those who can only shout, rush around, and talk, but not do the job; however, he himself is capable of doing the same, only keeping the belief that he "can do it all himself, just doesn't want to do it." The problem with Virgo is their obvious desire to be praised for simply existing. They often feel neglected by those they have tried to please in the past, and this creates their own list for future acquaintances, by which they carefully analyze them.

Aggression and strong emotions are not typical of Mars in Virgo, they are somewhat smoothed out and suppressed, often expressed not by words, but by actions: he will certainly respond to, but not by insulting, but, for example, breaking your favorite mug or crushing your Ego.

One of the challenges for Retrograde Mars in Virgo is to believe that his job is to bring order where he can, to the extent that he is able - and the chaos he observes should not be confusing: no constructive actions are wasted, even if they do not leave visible traces. He fiercely attacks those forms that he does not like and require reworking, and in the heat of the moment he can destroy them and himself fall exhausted from fatigue.

It is worth not rejecting the possibility and, in essence, the need to learn subtle, but accurate and effective interactions with the external and internal world: "One should walk through the world, touching it lightly." One must learn to distinguish one's duties from those of others and to master the management of one's own energy and one's own strength.

The main problem of Ascendant in Leo is its constant flow of energy. Although it is constant, it does not have a stunning force and peak, so Leo needs outside evaluation to understand which way to go. Due to the endless flow of energy, even in moments of weakness, he tends to adhere to the illusion that everything is under control, which greatly exhausts him.

Gradually, he begins to depend on the assessment of his personality by others, and observing the reaction of others, he will try more and more risky attempts, and as soon as he realizes that everything is allowed to him - at this moment he is invincible in his own eyes.

Ascendant in Leo always meets the gaze of other people wherever he goes. As levers of control over people who admire him, he uses their lower instincts such as greed or laziness and acts as a seducer, which ultimately distorts reality and spreads filth.

Since Ascendant in Leo is highly passionate about his energy and direct power, forgetting about other people's emotions and the need for an objective view of himself and his actions, he does not attach much importance to words, skillfully manipulating hidden meanings.

You will never see him untidy and unkempt, and if you did, then you are completely uninteresting to him. The ability to transmit oneself through enthusiasm draws Leo into his own game of role-playing, but it should not be a mask for life, and to bring it to life, you need to make an effort.

To admit his mistake means for Ascendant in Leo to doubt his infallibility or even existence, so he will not torture those who dared to hurt his pride with sadistic pleasure, but will kill with one blow.

The Ascendant in Aquarius are often passionate about their own ideas, and they are specific enough not to share them with the uninitiated; they are unique to them and incomprehensible to others. From a conscious age, they are visited by ideas, thoughts, and impulses that come to them in an inexplicable way, which is why they do not immediately understand how to interpret them. They see their ultimate goal in transforming the reality around them in accordance with the ideas that flash in their heads, but for a long time they do not understand how to self-fulfillment through them.

They feel at ease and free in any intellectual environment; they are interested in everything that can be talked about. The Ascendant in Aquarius gives the characteristic mental explosiveness and unpredictability to this sign. What they will say or do in the next moment, no one can foresee in advance, including themselves.

The only thing that helps Ascendant in Aquarius is their return to reality and attempts to discuss their ideas with like-minded people. Their inner pessimism is usually not expressed openly, but is felt and is associated with the fact that they live at the junction of the present and the future, and they perceive the former from the very beginning as the past, often deep. For this reason, they are prone to the syndrome of delayed life, perceiving that they are not able to do something now, but everything will definitely change in the future.

From thoughts about the fact that they and their ideas are not generally accepted in society, and their own worldview causes bewilderment in others, they become overly cautious, pragmatic, and limited. However, this never kills their desire to refresh themselves and delve into a topic that others will again perceive as something eccentric. In contacts with others, they usually do not put an emotional touch, but this does not prevent them from smiling friendly.

The problem of Saturn in Leo is that he must act on energetic principles that are incompatible with his nature. He is unable to act according to his Ego. He does not receive satisfaction from external power; he needs power over himself. He feels the need for personal recognition and is concerned about productivity in self-realization.

He cannot tolerate criticism, although he may not be aware of his own cruelty to himself: the subconscious helpfully suggests to him that he is expressing completely truthful feelings. He prefers to come to everything by his own mind. He needs to learn to rethink his external aspirations and ambitions as immature manifestations of his nature. Instead of "creating impressions," he must "be here".

It is difficult for Saturn in Leo to go through life, he feels in the depths of his soul a huge reserve of strength and talent, and his psychological complexes and fears are enclosed in the fact that he will not be able to fully reveal his inner gifts.

The ideal for an individual with the 7th house in Aries is complete invulnerability to the enemy, so he suffers from a complex of combat inferiority and fear of the enemy. It is difficult for him to admit to himself that he is still afraid, when it seems to him that he should not be afraid of anyone.

He tries to face the enemy with his head held high, but in the most difficult moment, when he feels that he is not coping, he is capable of running away, fear, and betrayal. These are the qualities that he cannot forgive himself for.

Therefore, an individual with the 7th house in Aries is inclined to anticipatory impact on his enemy: someone is just about to utter words of insult when they unexpectedly, but strongly, get punched in the face. He is capable of promising a lot, and then suddenly switch to threats, but behind both of them can be powerlessness. Waves of energy flow destroys all relationships built by him in moments of inspiration.

With an Ascendant in Libra and the 7th house in Aries, an individual sees himself as sufficiently emotionally cold, rational, and objective, so he tries to maintain this image in society, but he does not see that he is prone to mental self-deception. His personality bears a strong imprint of social views and ways of perception, he wants to see himself as invincible, fully formed, and in this he loses.

He cannot discard socially induced ethics and aesthetics, which plunges him into frustration, when the individual feels out of place and, surrounding himself with false truths, loses his way to himself. Therefore, being in a shaky position, he is so afraid that someone will break the remaining invented laws in him and show the truth that he has buried so deeply and intensely in himself.

He tries to defend himself, but he forgets that for all who draw the sword will die by the sword. He needs to realize his own truths.

[blammphis]

The nature of Mars in Aries is filled with an energetic idea that he convinces others of, without accepting objections. He does not look closely at the world around him, and does not particularly distinguish details, but nevertheless perfectly distinguishes people who have fallen under his spell. He improves the means of attack, but not defense.

He will not regret the past, and will preach new energetic ideas with the same passion as before, for his sincerity always goes hand in hand with completely forgetting the past. The surrounding situations do not bother him, they seem boring, and he sincerely tries to revive them - in his own way, including his energy - and completely does not notice that he often completely destroys them in the process.

He lacks the ability to tame disharmonious energy flows: appearing and disappearing, he plunges headlong into the abyss. When he feels that new ideas breathe life into him, he uses their potential to the fullest, not noticing how he remains completely exhausted.

Ascendant in Cancer are the most ephemeral people. You can talk to them heart to heart, but you will never really get into it. Even if you are next to them, you will never feel that they are here. You will fall into their bottomless, impenetrable eyes, their way of hypnotizing those around them and certain communication frameworks, beyond which they never go, will lure you into a trap. Unlike others, they do not try to influence others, dictate their thoughts and emotions, they are focused on the principle of their own perception and transformation.

They perceive everything around them as something that contributes to their personal changes and experiencing something new. They know how to leave their mark on what has exclusively changed their routine, and in certain cases, one indirect impact from them can be so significant that the persons it affects do not even notice how much they have changed from this influence. Ascendant in Cancer transform everything they touch.

The fact is that one of their essential problems is the problem of emotional expression. They need a certain stability, so the subconscious of the Ascendant in Cancer develops complex defense mechanisms that protect themselves from a significant part of the external environment, narrowing their perception and thereby ensuring the stability of the psyche, while not providing the opportunity for emotional expression: the defense mechanism like a sluice does not let water through in both directions.

But at the same time, having a strong subconscious, the Ascendant in Cancer easily tunes in to the subconscious of those around them, which makes them an incomparable empath, and quite insidious at that, who, only after giving the impression of closeness with him, can change, hide inside himself and leave with the feeling that there was no connection at all.

Venus in Capricorn orients the individual towards art to such an extent that she herself tries to create, but persistently and consistently. Her attention is focused on social ties and their formation, she is not interested in the organization or circle of friends themselves, but in the specific functions that they will perform. Harmony is achieved in the creation of forms at the junction of the material and subtle worlds.

An individual with Venus in Capricorn is an organizer and in many ways an indirect creator of material forms. She is not able to perceive them adequately, but is confident in their place in the world. For all her persistence in achieving the main goal, she is quite flexible and is always ready to turn aside for a while and approach the issue from the other side, without violating the shell of the whole. She appreciates the completeness and traditionality of what has already been created.

Venus in Capricorn has the opinion that the form must be worked out to perfection. She does not get lost in the details and moves forward, always keeping her idea of the whole in her mind. The technique of art must be honed and convey everything fully, and this is achieved by years of hard work, which is not given to everyone; she makes an effort, which, however, over time becomes a natural and necessary part of life.

She replaces deep emotionality and energy for creativity with mental models or perfected forms created by his perception. At the same time, Capricorn prevents Venus from perceiving art lightly, superficially emotionally, in a word, not serious enough and not accurately expressed - it does not pass his checkpoint.

Collecting works of art or antiques is an attempt by the individual to express her desire for balance and emotional security.

The 4th House is the birthplace of emotional interest in other people, but it is still selfish and focused only on fulfilling its own needs. The inability to compromise and the understanding that going through something can include the killing of individuality gave rise to future emotional boundaries that are clearly defined and crossing them will be equated with disrespect. It was difficult for her to break out of the limitations and other people's rules, which is why all her ambitions are directed towards the outside world to receive love for herself as a person.

Conquering and maintaining individual with Venus in Capricorn in the 4th House seems like an impossible task, she will love one muse all her life (well, if not created by the imagination), and will not be able to perceive anything else, at least without prolonged targeted efforts. When she moves away from the destructive position that the world is ugly and there is no love in it, then she is able to manifest herself as a work of art.

Individuals with the 2nd House in Leo is afraid of the power that can arise in the outside world and surpass his own, and most importantly, the idea that will be embodied in this power and turn out to be more powerful than his own. By absorbing the energy of those around him, it is difficult for the individual to figure out his desires and hopes, his abilities and ways in which they could be used. Interaction, absorption, and assimilation of external resources are important for understanding one's own concepts of direct power, unquestioning respect, or ignoring and devaluation. Do not create authorities for yourself, strive to become an authority for yourself.

It is advisable to refrain from direct destructive criticism towards yourself, no matter how the circumstances of life unfold: the inner self understands everything correctly, but a sharp tone does not allow you to hear the answer.

Having the 5th House in Scorpio, respectively, the individual creates sharp and emotional images of the "self", which can mislead others, since his personality may be different. When the image of the "self" is separated from the individual and emotions do not personally touch him, he can be manipulatively tuned.

Too much emphasis is placed on the emotional aspects; appropriating someone else's is not peculiar to him, but in the pursuit of creating something "unique" without the support of society, he gives up.

Emotional difficulties are overcome by introspection, one needs to try to think about the mental picture of the world of the created images, remembering that the images of the "self" are created by a person not for self-expression and not as an end in itself, but to fulfill certain functions, such as overcoming their own blocks.

The difference between the concepts of Ego and Self is that Ego ensures the integrity of the system, a kind of instinct of self-preservation of consciousness, while Self is the entire circle that includes both conscious and unconscious; it is the center of this universality, just as Ego is the center of consciousness.

In astrology, the Sun occupies the place of Ego - these are innate qualities that you cannot remove from yourself, it is it that pulls us to make the same mistakes, dictated by an impulse from within. The place of Self is occupied by the Ascendant, which occupies the position "both above and below", it makes an unceasing movement in the development of individuality, trying to make Ego more convenient for itself.

From the very beginning, the contradictory figure of the Ascendant in Scorpio affects our consciousness without taking any active actions. Scorpio, being passive by nature and taking a waiting position, cannot cope with its own psychoregulation and transmits its emotions to others through both gaze and intonation. Bypassing the ordinary senses, it is much more difficult to block off fluids through their direct impact on our perception center.

Scorpio undergoes a constant, involuntary inner transformation. He is a black teacher for himself and others, who approves of destructive things and will always demand the destruction of dead forms of perception. Even if he has to eat himself completely, he is ready for such sacrifices.

[blammphis]

When our main energy channels become oversaturated and need emotional release, the Ascendant in Virgo is the switch that helps. She has a keen eye for subtle details and can bring them into proper order. Virgo sees the world in different forms, and while she may struggle to create something new, her ability to rearrange and gracefully manage existing forms gives her an advantage.

Virgo is an extreme sign; once she has created her own ideal world using her rigid schemes, it's difficult to change her mind. Even if you feel that Virgo is distorting or profaning the facts, she would have played with the forms provided to her, and it would be hard to resist her.
