How to understand your sun, moon and ascendant

Astrology is a complex field with many elements to consider.

While there are many who do not believe in astrology, there are many others who benefit from the guidance of the stars.

Not only do these people believe in it, but they are devoted supporters of the way their stars align.

There are some who actually plan around the positive advice of astrology all day or follow the advice of astrologers with every decision.

This is not surprising, because people are like stars, they are born and at some point they also disappear into nothing.

They are all different too, but part of a common galaxy, the Milky Way.

In astrology, the sky is divided into twelve parts and each part has a corresponding zodiac sign. The order of the zodiac signs is Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces.

Each astrological sign is on a 30º ecliptic, starting from the vernal equinox, also known as the first point of Aries. Astrology believes that the character,

A person’s personality and happiness depend on the position of the sun, moon and planets in their respective homes.

For example, the sun can be in Aries, the moon in Leo, Mars in Virgo, and so on.

All of this will affect the person and their life, because it is no coincidence that they were born at a certain point in time. 

In astrology, the sun , moon, and ascendant all have their meanings.

Still, the sign that is our sun sign is considered the most prominent of the three, with each of the other two having its own meaning.

All three and their combination are considered to be the core of a person.

The sun sign describes a person’s ego and personality.

It is what really defines a person and the first thing that strikes us.

The moon sign describes a person’s inner emotional personality that they initially do not show.

In addition, the ascendant shows the qualities we have and which we want to work on in order to find our true path.

On this basis, our sun sign is our present , our moon sign is our past, and our ascendant is our future .

The combination of these three aspects gives an insight into the way a person loves and feels, and teaches us more about ourselves and others.

1. The sun sign

Your sun sign describes your basic nature and personality traits that have remained constant through the ups and downs of life.

This is an image that you radiate out into the world, but it comes from that oldest, deepest part of you.

The sun, which is actually a star, is at the center of the solar system, and likewise your solar sign describes your unique personal center.

The sun sign describes the way how vital or strong you are in life.

For example, those with Sun in Cancer are known to be sensitive and family oriented.

More than just a quality, as a Cancer seems to feel strong and vital at home and can achieve great things there.

So the sun sign shows what kind of environment and situation illuminates you and makes you grow.

From partner search to career, the sun sign shows how your ego is pushing into new experiences.

Each of the twelve signs does it a little differently, and that’s part of what makes human nature infinitely fascinating.

Therefore, knowing about someone’s sun sign can help you understand the people in your life, from your personal life to the workplace.

In love, knowing how certain characters behave in the immediate area can save you a lot of heart injuries, or help you plan your love strategy.

2. The moon sign

The moon symbolizes our inner identity, our personality.

We express the energy of the moon with ease because it is something essential in our being.

It is what really defines us, but we don’t always have to be aware of it.

People closest to us and people who live with us will surely see the characteristics of our moon sign.

Even if we do not perceive these characteristics ourselves, they are decisive for how we do and experience things.

The influence of the moon is almost impossible to control because it comes from the subconscious.

It is best to observe the moon sign in those situations when a person has the least control over their actions.

For example at home, on vacation, when interacting with close friends or in extreme situations.

The moon in the signs of the zodiac is also a kind of link between the outside world and humans, i.e. their personality.

The sun sign is the basis of individuality, and the zodiac sign after the moon sign is the basis of human reactions to external influences.

Thanks to the close intertwining of these two signs, a diverse human personality emerges.

It should also be noted that the moonlight is just a reflection of the sun.

Therefore, no matter how important the moon sign is, one should not expect that it will affect a person’s character to a tremendous extent.

The moon is just light, reaction, emotion, important but not crucial.

3. The ascendant

The ascendant is primarily the way other people see us.

Regardless of whether this is a real or a distorted image, it is an image that others will acquire of us.

The ascendant also represents the basic course of life, the path and the direction of the journey of a soul, which is placed in a certain role in the universe and on earth.

The ascendant sign also represents the basic, inner alignment of the person.

The ascendant is very important when creating the natal chart, in some cases much more important than the position of the sun in the sign and the houses.

 If there is also a planet in the ascendant, namely in a small orbit, the interpretation expands here.

The sign we have our ascendant in describes the way we start new things in life.

It describes our physical appearance and, perhaps most importantly, it tells us how we want to present ourselves to others.

The ascendant is the border between us and the outside world, so it also shows what our defense mechanisms are, the way in which we defend ourselves against external intruders in our private, personal psychological territory.

Clearly, when your ascendant is under the sign of Capricorn, you will be careful to guard your personal boundaries, be cautious, keeping all potential intruders at bay.

On the other hand, someone with an ascendant in Gemini will defend their personal integrity very differently, they will talk, talk and talk to prevent you from really getting close to them.

In addition, depending on the fact that it connects with our visual appearance, our ascendant determines some of our traits and energies.

It is often said that he is responsible for our physical appearance, but actually it is the impression we make on others.

This is how we will perceive someone with the Aries sign as energetic and tense, almost military.

If, on the other hand, it is the opposite sign, Libra, then the impression will also be completely different, the person will appear soft and harmonious, pleasing to the eye.
