I ask this question about myself. I bet you do, too. I want to try to explore it. The first place to start in a discussion which is really asking the question if God made us as He wanted us or were we a freak of random cells combining with no external intelligence. I know you wonder about this.
To explore this question, one should start with the Ascendant. Each ASC looks different and very different from the adjacent sign. It is interesting how this happens, almost as if God left clues in the chart as to His presence. I do marvel at this when people ask me to guess their Ascendents. The Aries ASC looks very different from the Taurus, which looks very different from the Gemini, which looks very different from the Cancer, which looks very different from the Leo, which looks very different from the Virgo, which looks very different from the Libra. You get my point.
An Astrologer can guess the ASC in many cases. Factors impinge on the ASC such as planets conjunct but the ASC does seem to shine through, in most cases. If the Astrologer misses it, it is because of extenuating factors such as planets conjunct. If the native had a Libra ASC with Pluto conjunct, he would look like a Libra and a Scorpio, as Pluto rules Scorpio. However, to put it in a word. The Astrologer can, usually, tell the ASC. So, to state the obvious. How could the Astrologer tell the ASC if God did not design the person?
After the ASC, one should go to the Sun as the Sun is the strongest planet in any chart. The energy of the Sun is strongest in a chart, just as it is in the solar system–As above, so below. The erudite Astrologer can guess one’s ASC and one’s Sun. To differentiate the two, the ASC is all outer features and mannerisms. The Sun would be more interior, in terms of the person’s core identity and ego definition.
Next, we come to the Moon. The Moon is my favorite planet because it is the warm, fuzzy, intimate part of the person. You may not see the Moon until that person is your intimate. Then, you and he would share Moons, hopefully, if you are lovers. Love is child to child, which is Moon to Moon. Lets talk about how we feel out someone’s Moon. It takes getting to a relaxed manner of relating before one’s Moon will emerge, particularly in men. When a man trusts you and relaxes with you, you should see a new side. This side will be more vulnerable and more gentle. Pay attention as you are starting to see his Moon. At this point, you can begin to try to identity the placement of the Moon.
For this purpose, we could try to break down the Moon, by element. Element is very key to the Moon. I just wrote an article on Libra Moon, cold betrayer. This was from a recent experience with one. However, I have another key person with a Libra Moon, from whom I was betrayed. Actually, now that I think of it, I may have a third. At any rate, to stay on topic, an air Moon like Libra would be very different than a water Moon like Cancer. I will try to explain, so you can feel out the Moon in your guy’s chart.
Excuse the typos please. I will be back to finish
