HOW AND WHY YOUR "RISING SIGN" IS SLEPT ON & HOW IT ACTUALLY IS THE ENTIRE THEME OF YOUR WHOLE NATAL CHART: a thread
2
disclaimer: this is going to be through traditional rulerships which exclude modern rulerships like outer planets (pluto, neptune, and uranus) who are newer in astrology. this is my personal preference/rule of thumb.
3
So commonly online when looking into the impact of your ascendant, you can see a lot of how it's depicted to be your "outer shell" or who you "appear" to be upon the first introduction.
4
I'm even guilty of making previous threads on Ascendant/Descendants and how ASC is more of "what you seem like" vs. what you truly are.

We've been looking at it all wrong guys, the ASC is the entire MOOD or VIBE of how your whole birth chart navigates its energy. So think of your birth chart as a movie, your rising sign sets the tone for what genre of film it is. Your Ascendant is Gemini? You're a documentary.
6
No, but, in all seriousness. The PLANET that impacts your ascendant is how your chart navigates through life, but what house that planet is in is how you express that energy. So say two people have an ARIES rising, making MARS their chart ruler BUT
7
one person's MARS is in their eighth house while the other person's mars is in their third house.
the 8th house Mars person leads their life through a very secretive and impassioned nature, they want to be consumed by what gets their blood boiling and jump to conclusions easily

because of this... BUT the mars in third house person is constantly seeking intellectual enlightenment, gets restless and bored easily, wants to study and understand how the world around them operates but can struggle with sticking to one thing for too long.
9
(I'll thread that later, but for now, let's get into the first step of understanding your chart ruler... finding your chart ruler PLANET)
10
ARIES ASC ↭ Mars Chart Ruler: You're impulsive and passionate, you want things done instantly and when you have your mind set on something it can be hard to persuade you otherwise. But you may come off louder than you intend to at times. Always going through big transformations.
11
TAURUS ASC ↭ Venus Chart Ruler: You are enchanted by beautiful people/things and focused on the appeal of what life has to offer, you see the world through rose-colored glasses and may center a lot of your goals around how to live a life as luxurious as possible.
12
GEMINI ASC ↭ Mercury Chart Ruler: You are focused on the intellectual integrity of it all, you can be caught in the details of what happens around you and are constantly seeking a higher understanding or deeper meaning. You are restless and imaginative.
13
CANCER ASC ↭ Moon Chart Ruler: You're empathic to the needs of others and incredibly sensitive. You may feel easily drained by people, or frequently find people opening up to you with little to any prompting in the first place. Always seeking to create familial bonds with people
14
LEO ASC ↭ Sun Chart Ruler: Creative & imaginative, you carry on tasks and navigate through the world in a larger than life way. People could listen to you talk for hours because your experiences and understandings of the world are exciting and you carry your heart on your sleeve
15
VIRGO ASC ↭. Mercury Chart Ruler: You seek to understand and enlighten others, but you optimize mercurial energy in a way that serves or benefits other people or causes bigger than yourself. You want to assess the world and then bandage it up if it appears to be injured.
16
LIBRA ASC ↭ Venus Chart Ruler: You want to create a harmonious and peaceful environment for yourself and the people you love. You get caught up in what's beautiful, that sometimes it can be hard to assess or understand your environment if you're blinded by the glitter of it all.
17
SCORPIO ASC ↭ Mars Chart Ruler: Mars energy here is consuming and transformative. This is a person who has undergone a lot of change in their life and is always looking for a way to channel their passionate side into something that comforts and inspires them. Strong-headed.
18
SAGITTARIUS ASC ↭ Jupiter Chart Ruler: This is a person that magnifies and expands on the energy around them. They seek to find new worlds & create new hobbies for themselves but can struggle between expanding good habits or negative. They are sharp-witted but bore easily.
19
CAPRICORN ASC ↭ Saturn Chart Ruler: This person is governed by the need to be disciplined and responsible for themselves and others. They may have grown up faster than others, or find themselves being the "mom" friend without volunteering. Struggle with balancing work/fun.
20
AQUARIUS ASC ↭ Saturn Chart Ruler: You can often feel guilty for doing what feels fun or unproductive. You're governed by the need to be disciplined and responsible and struggle to feel satisfied with the pace you're going, you question if you're doing enough (you are).
21
PISCES ASC ↭ Jupiter Chart Ruler: You have a natural ability of magnifying and expanding on energy and creative thoughts around you. But struggle to find a balance between indulgence and discipline. Always seeking new creative and intellectual enlightenment. Restless.
