Asteroids personalize your chart. Your Ascendent is one of THE most personal parts of your chart. It shows how you walk through the world. It is what people see when they meet you. It is your looks. It is your mannerisms. It is your style. Lets look at some Asteroids and see what they would do to one’s Ascendent.
1. Eros conjunct the ASC–this person vibes erotica. This person may be beautiful or not, but he/she will be sexy. People may not be able to put a finger on it but they will feel the erotic vibes and want to move closer. This native has few problems in romance. This person may be a player. We don’t know that from just this one ASC placement, but he could be if he wanted. Eros is all about the erotic and we all want that( whether or not we admit it)
2. Medusa conjunct the ASC–I have seen this in the chart of a female. She was beautiful but had a history of jealousy from other woman. She hated men for wanting her, but she wanted them to want her. She teased and led men on. Then, when they responded, she cut them off. This is the story of Medusa, minus the turning men to stone. I had a male client with Medusa conjunct the ASC. He happened to be gay. He asked me how to interpret Medusa in the chart of a man. I really didn’t know
3. Sappho conjunct the ASC–Sappho conjunct the ASC would be like Eros except Sappho is a high brow. Picture Ann Coulter. She is sexy but intelligence rings out from her. She would wear a little black dress and pumps to the opening of a play on Broadway. She would be “Oh so refined, but you feel the Eros under it. That is Sappho–high brow Eros.
4. Apollo conjunct the ASC—Apollo was made to be worshiped. You are too, if you have him conjunct your ASC. People will look up to you and probably won’t know why. They will be in awe of all of you, not just your beauty. You will have the grace of a sportsman and the beauty of a greek god, not so shabby.
5. Aphrodite conj the ASC– This native is a charming and beautiful person. Beauty is fleeting if the person opens her mouth and is a priggish bore. Beauty must be inner, too, if it is to have any lasting appeal( even more than five minutes) Aphrodite is as elegant as a Greek goddess. Picture Princess Di. Picture Grace Kelly. They had the Aphrodite vibe.
6. Quoar conjunct the ASC–This confers brilliance but it is not a perfect score SAT brilliance. It is not brilliance that can be taught. It is an out of the box creativity a la Einstein who had Quoar in exact conjunction to his ASC. He was not good in school. He was not good in math. He was not traditional. He made his own way and that way changed the world. By the way, Paul McCartney has Quoar conjunct Mercury( the planet of the mind)
7. Dejanira Conjunct the ASC–This person will be a victim, most likely. Is it her fault? NO. She came into the world with the vibe of a victim. She will call it onto herself, unbeknown to her because who would want to do this? She will probably have many, many victim experiences before she realizes what has happened, if she ever does. God is the only way out to overcome hard chart aspects, in my opinion.
6. Nessus conjunct the ASC–this person will probably be an abuser. I would think he would. He may have many experiences of abusing others before he starts to face it. He would need God, as would the person with the Dejanira conjunct the ASC.
7. Sedna conjunct the ASC–this person will have a life story of betrayal by men. Her father may have been her first betrayer but she had the same experience with a husband. Her husband may have fooled her into marriage by pretending to be something he was not. When she tried to go back to her father, her father betrayed her, again. Very sad.
8. Maniac conjunct the ASC–In charts I have done, maniac is just what it seems. It seems to translate into bi-polar but it may not be exactly this. It seems to be a person who is at the whim of forces he can’t control. He seems to go with these forces as one would be swept away by a wave.
9. Ixxion conjunct the ASC–I would watch my pocketbook around this person. I would watch my silver and my jewels. This person lives by the code of lawlessness i.e he does whatever he wants. Don’t try to stand in his way. Give him your jewels and boot him out the door. Ixxion is lawlessness with no concern for the outcome. Not someone you want to bring home to Mama.
10. Valentine conjunct the ASC–Lets end with a good one. Valentine is sacrificial love. If you see someone give a kidney to a loved one, that is the essence of Valentine. If a lover throws himself in front of a speeding car to save his beloved, that is the essence of the hero, the essence of which Valentine embodies.
Hi Amy,
What would you say of a person who has,
1. Black Moon Lilith on MC (exact)
2. Lucifer on AC (2 degrees)
3. Algol fixed star on AC (2 degrees)
4. Aphrodite, Sappho and own name Asteroid on Venus
Hi Ami,
say if this was synastry and person A’s Ascendant conjuncted person B’s Valentine, who would be sacrificial towords whom – person A or B?
Great question, Emily. Valentine would be sacrificial to the ASC person in my opinion
thats bad for the Valentine especially if the ASC person is severly unworthy
its practically victimization
What are you referring to, Emily?
What do you mean, Emily?
Ami i meant, first off this is not a romantic relationship by far, just synatrically looking at 2 peoples charts… i meant valentine person would unknowingly be put in a sacrificial role because of their Valentine nature to the ASC person, if that makes sense … in that case Valentine is not that great
Is that what happened? Please, tell me the story, Emily.
Any advice for Sedna transit asc?
Great question, tmo. I don’t work with transits in my own chart. They make me too paranoid 😀 In this case, one would think you would get betrayal by men. Is this happening?
What would karma sextile ascendant and
Aphrodite square ascendant mean?
Is this synastry, Jennifer?
I don’t really use the Karma asteroid in the natal because I don’t believe in past lives. In synastry, I may use it to show a fated relationship but that would be it.
Aph sq ASC may be a person who cannot easily show his love. I have Moon sq ASC and it is hard to show my emotions.
What do you think?
It’s in the natal chart
In the synastry we have
My ascendant sextile his midheaven
My vertex conjunct ascendant
My lust trine ascendant
My ascendant inconjunct eros
My cupido conjunct his eros
My Aphrodite trine his Eros
My karma trine his ascendant
It looks really erotic and like it was meant to be, Jennifer!
Thank you Ami,your explanation of Aphrodite sq ascendant is very true..I also have Antares trine ascendant and Talent quintille ascendant.
Also would fixed stars on the ascendant hold any importance?
You are welcome, Jenn. Yes, Fixed stars are very important on the ASC. I never worked with Antares. With Talent, the quintile would have to be a close orb such as 2 degrees. It would show talent, though. In what house is the Talent as your talents may be in that house. Are they?
Talent is in 8th house along with (Fomalhaut,Eros,Juno,Shakespeare,Skat)
Aldebaran sextile ascendant
Do you feel your talents are those of the 8th house such as deep perception, an ability to see below the surface in the manner of a shrink or detective?
I guess ,not sure..I do try to find a deeper meaning to things.I also found Musa conjunct ascendant but i don’t know what Musa is?
I have a question about Regulus
Regulus trine midheaven ?
Betelgeuse sextile midheaven?
Aura trine midheaven?
I can’t find a proper explanation for them
I am not sure about Regulus. I think it is the good things that a king has. I am not sure what Musa is. Why don’t you research it, Jennifer and bring the info back and I will help you figure it our. With the Fixed stars, we need ar orb of 2 or less, I think the fixed stars are really used in close conjunctions but i could be wrong. I use them in close conjunctions, anyway, such as up to 2 degrees of an orb
Asteroid Actor trine Venus?
Aura conjunct Neptune?
You would love to be an actor. Aura conjunct neptune could be a very spiritual person and it shows.
Thank you Ami,I will try and find more on these aspects
Thanks Jennifer. It will be fun to see how they play out in your chart!
Thanks Jennifer. It will be fun to see how they play out in your chart!
