SCORPIO rising or Vrashchik Lagna
People with Scorpio rising tend to be secretive, deep, withdrawn, mysterious, regenerate or degenerate, reserved, hard to understand, courageous, willful, persistent, stubborn in thought, creative, self-reliant, self-controlled (except perhaps with the passions), and silent.

According to the spiritual astrologer Pramod Sharma, no unevolved soul is born with Scorpio rising. This is a powerhouse rising sign. It represents the battleground where the higher and lower selves must come to mortal combat. They must be aligned and the lower self eventually must die and give way to and obey the higher self, the God within.

Physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels are all involved. You appear calm on the surface, but you can be extremely emotional inside. "Still waters run deep", as they say. You tend to be the silent type, always wanting to know others' motivations, but never disclosing your own. You love to play the detective or the ferret. You have to know everything, all the how's and why's.

You have great determination and strength, enough to overcome any adversary, even yourself. You need to overcome resentment, possessiveness and jealousy. There may be a fascination, preoccupation, interest and/or ability with the occult, death, sex or healing. You can be a devil or an angel, the eagle or the stinging scorpion. Spiritual lesson to learn: Forgiveness. Mars and Pluto rule Scorpio so Mars and Pluto will be important in your chart.


Planets in Signs


The planets represent energies and cosmic forces that can manifest in different ways. They are like the actors in a play. The signs describe the ways in which these planetary energies are used. They show the motivation and the roles the different actors play. As with everything in the material world, these energies can and usually do operate in two directions, the positive and negative.


Sun in Scorpio
Two animals are used to represent Scorpio, the eagle and the scorpion. The eagle is capable of reaching great heights because he has mastered his lower nature and overcome his passions and the temptations of the sensual sphere. The eagle has risen above the physical world because he has regenerated himself. The scorpion, however, represents those who have not regenerated their thoughts and actions and are still living degenerate lives. They use their cunning and strike when least expected. These are the ones who satisfy their passions regardless of consequences.

Scorpios in general are ambitious, efficient, courageous, resourceful and intuitive. But, they can also be jealous, sarcastic, resentful, stubborn, possessive and vindictive. Scorpio people enjoy impossible tasks. They like work that demands continued, determined effort and intense concentration. They are born detectives.

Scorpio gives a strong will and determination to accomplish anything undertaken. Scorpios possess an analytical mind, strong intuition, reasoning powers, perception, long range planning ability, magnetism and energy. Scorpios have very definite opinions. These opinions can be so rigid that no amount of persuasion will make them change their minds.

Scorpios make friends easily and give unwaveringly to them. In these relationships, they like to know what your plans are, but, because of their secretiveness, they do not necessarily want you to know what they are planning. They are capable of extreme self-sacrifice for those they love. If any of their loved ones are threatened in any way, they feel that they, too, are being threatened. This causes them to instinctively strike out, either verbally or physically.

Because a Scorpio's unconscious mind is more in control than their conscious mind, they lose all sense of judgment under criticism. Under attack, they make effective use of both silence and sarcasm. Unfortunately, their sarcasm can become vindictive. They can, and will, wait a long time in order to get even. Scorpios need to learn forgiveness.

It is usually difficult to deceive a Scorpio because their intuition enables them to understand the motives of other people. They receive very strong first impressions of others � experiencing either a liking or a dislike for the person involved.

Scorpios need to learn flexibility, both in thought and action. Once their course of action is set, it is difficult for them to change. Trivial things bore Scorpios and they would rather go deep rather than broad. The more intense, the better. In whatever they do, they want to be completely engrossed. Half-hearted measures are not for them.

Scorpios have the tendency to do things to extremes, either all or nothing. They have to get to the bottom of whatever it is that interests them. They have to know everything, yet they remain mysterious and secretive. Although it may not appear so, there are powerful emotions and desires at work within a Scorpio underneath the surface. This power is one reason for their great endurance. Sometimes in their battles they trample on others in the process. This is why they are sometimes classified as great saints or great sinners.

Scorpios regard themselves as their own judge, jury, and executioner and punish themselves unnecessarily at times. They are self-sufficient, but not necessarily self-assured. They rarely actively seek applause or the limelight. Scorpios are generally healthy, but can be inclined to overindulgence in food, drugs, sex or alcohol.

In matters of love, Scorpios are loyal, affectionate and demonstrative, and perhaps possessive and controlling. They are happiest and most fulfilled with one partner with whom they can combine emotional and sexual love.

Moon in Virgo

You are very sensitive, cautious, and perhaps shy about showing others your feelings. Though you may love and care for someone a great deal, you rarely express those feelings openly and freely. You are perhaps more mental than emotional, at least outwardly. Very often your love for someone will be expressed by trying to help them, doing something tangible to benefit them, or serving them in some way. It may be difficult for you to receive warmth, affection, or appreciation, for you often feel that you don't really deserve it or that "they don't really mean it". You can therefore seem rather cool and aloof, much more so than you feel. At times you can be so critical of others that you drive them and their love away. You need to learn how to forgive yourself and others when you or they do not measure up to perfection. This need of yours for perfection can be quite stifling to your own happiness. You tend to be industrious, trustworthy, intuitive, reserved, practical and down-to-earth, especially where emotions are concerned. Intelligence, usefulness and fastidiousness are important themes. You have the ability to analyze people and situations and, then, find the quickest, most efficient method of accomplishing whatever is needed. This may make you an excellent housekeeper, nurse and/or manager. You must, however, watch your tendency to nit-pick or to become overly fussy concerning small details. You like to serve others, but find it difficult to understand the feelings of others. Your greatest need is to learn tolerance and to serve those around you.

Mercury in Scorpio
You have excellent mental concentration and the ability to become completely immersed in your work. You love ferreting things out and are a natural detective. Your mind may dwell on the sensual side of life and may think about sex or death often. You seem to know things at an instinctive, nonverbal level and prefer learning through direct experience or apprenticeship rather than vicariously via books or lectures. You have mechanical ability and work well with your hands. You may develop healing ability through your hands. You are quick-witted, resourceful, shrewd, direct, sharp-tongued, and will readily say what is on your mind, in a most stinging manner. You enjoy satire and other forms of critical humor. You want to know everything while at the same time disclosing nothing to no one. You have the ability to penetrate beneath the surface of problems and people and really understand them. You have abundant manual dexterity with the ability to repair anything. On the negative side, you can be stubborn, quarrelsome, skeptical, cynical, headstrong, and always holding the opposite views to others. There is interest in the occult.

Venus in CapricornLove and affections are expressed in cautious, reserved and serious ways. You are probably not that demonstrative towards the ones you love. You care very much about what other people think of you and you fervently desire love and appreciation, yet your reserved responses make it appear that you are really very detached. Casual, superficial relationships don't interest you at all. You are cautious and serious about love and you want a deep, genuine, lasting love. You are old-fashioned and traditional regarding courtship and love, and will remain faithful to your loved one in good times and in bad. You may be attracted to persons older than yourself, someone who is emotionally mature and reliable and who can provide the security you desire. You tend to be loyal, trustworthy, patient and steadfast. For you love may be weighed against practical concerns or on the basis of security needs. Perhaps you'll marry for money or status. You have a strong desire to protect yourself from being hurt and this may keep you from being as outgoing and forward in love matters. You may be very fearful, selfish and jealous or cold and calculating if Venus is badly aspected. There may be an intense ambition and desire for prestige and status.

Mars in Capricorn 

Your actions serve your ambitions for power, recognition, distinction, and status. You are not content to follow, but must have a leading role in whatever you do. If not handled well, the energies of this placement can make you appear ruthless, manipulative and bull-dozing over anyone who stands in your way. You are efficient, tenacious, organized, dedicated, practical, disciplined and steadfast in your resolve to feel successful. Your drive and energy are directed toward practical material accomplishment and achieving concrete results. You are hard-working and capable of foregoing immediate comfort in order to achieve your long-range goals. You can easily become a workaholic and are very responsible and conscientious about doing a thorough job. You don't tend to gamble when it comes to implementing your plans but generally prefer the conservative, tried-and-true route and then following through with it. You rely on your own efforts and perseverance rather than luck or good fortune. There is a natural shrewdness and instinct for business or organizational management. You tend to be ambitious, persistent, patient, self-reliant and responsible. You are apt to be slow in learning, but there is total assimilation of knowledge. Your energy is carefully used. Success is very important to you. On the negative side you may have a quick irritability which needs to be controlled and a tendency to feel resentment toward others for supposed hurts. You need to learn how to forgive and forget and how to release your emotions and frustrations positively.

Jupiter in Aries
You are enthusiastic, assertive, energetic, and filled with many ideas on how to grow, start, promote, or expand the ideas which fill your head. You are opinionated and can be very persuasive in getting people to go along with your plans and ideas. You like dealing with the big picture and have leadership qualities. A need to learn patience and to think before you act is probable. Your tendency to promise more than you can deliver should be watched. Tolerance of others people's ideas and viewpoints should also be developed. You have the ability to sell things, ideas, material goods, philosophies. Over-optimism, conceit, self-centeredness, false pride, and fanaticism over some cause may be your biggest shortfalls with this position.


Saturn in LibraYou are diplomatic, tactful, and you have balanced judgment which inspires trust. In matters if health there may be urinary problems or trouble with the kidneys. Saturn tends to obstruct the filtering action of the kidneys, allowing toxic elements to stay in the blood stream and intoxicate the body. Drinking distilled rather than spring, mineral or tap water would be better for your kidneys. There is a need for you to cooperate and share in harmony, patience, and love with other people. Marriage or partnerships may be restricting, requiring hard work and discipline so that you may learn the lessons of cooperation rather than competition. Marriage and partnerships give you a sense of security and for that reason you seek them out. You may marry for practical reasons, for money, or to someone a lot older or younger. Various possibilities exist with this position. You may take great trouble to find a mate who is able to demonstrate a similar integrity, and thus marry at a later age than most, or you may choose an older partner or a contemporary who is apt to be austere or undemonstrative. A desire for perfection may make you too demanding in the marriage or your view of marriage may be too conventional or old-fashioned. If Saturn is badly aspected, then you may be cold or regard marriage as a yoke with which you do not care to burden yourself. Or lastly, you may tell yourself that you will never find a partner who will measure up to your requirements.


Planets in Houses


The planets represent energies and cosmic forces that can be utilized in various ways. They are like the actors in a play. Houses represent the different spheres of life where these energies can be and are brought to bear, for better or for worse. If the planets are the actors in a play, then the houses represent the various settings in which the actors play out their roles (signs).

Sun in 1st houseYou are important to yourself and will spend much time and energy on your own personal affairs. It's not that you do not care about others, it is just that you have your work to do and it is very important to you. You want to shine and be noticed for who and what you are. You may want to lead or be in a position of dominance. You are confident, independent and responsible. But watch for tendencies to be power-seeking or dictatorial. Be alert to false pride and try to be more humble. Give proper credit to others for their contributions.

Moon in 11th housePopularity with women often comes with this position. Many of your friends will be female. The feeling of belonging to a group increases your feelings of security. If you feel you do not "belong", then negative emotions surface that all basically have to do with your own needs for security. Humanitarian projects may be important to you as you can develop your nurturing instincts with or for the group. You enjoy working for the good of the group instead of just your own good. You are responsive to the feelings of others. Concerning vocation: The network of friendships within the work situation is emphasized. Friends may help get the job, make the job rewarding and will probably endure after the job is done. A friend's advice about work opportunity or direction is perhaps more important than that of a professional counselor.

Mercury in 1st houseYou are adaptable, clever, inquisitive, eloquent, witty, and perhaps high-strung. You want to know something about a lot of things. Your speeches and writings reflect your own personal opinions. You may have jittery nerves which keep your body slim, but which could cause nervous disorders. You love talking about what interests you.

Venus in 3rd houseYou may be artistic and creative in speech and writing and you express yourself well in either. You have a love of travel, yet your immediate surroundings are probably quite harmonious and comfortable. Relations with neighbors and siblings are probably easy-going and pleasurable. Because you dislike inharmony, you avoid confrontations with people in your immediate environment, hating to rock the boat.

Mars in 3rd houseYou are restless, perhaps high-strung, and probably have an abundance of nervous energy. You have an intense belief in your own ideas. You are alert, determined, and enthusiastic. You possess an abundance of mental energy. Developing analytical thinking is important, as impulsive thinking will bring difficulties. There can be problems with siblings or neighbors. There will be many short journeys. Energy is expended in neighborhood activities.

Jupiter in 6th houseThis placement tends to give good health. Any health problems are usually caused by extravagance and over-indulgence, too much of a good thing. You are helpful to others and are a dependable worker with a sense of loyalty. You inspire cooperation and good will among your fellow workers. You enjoy your work and give of your time willingly. Watch that you do not overwork or overindulge in eating or drinking. There could be difficulties in the liver and blood or poor circulation due to over-indulgence.

Saturn in 12th houseYou have the potential to develop strong inner discipline and sensitivity. There can be feelings of fear, doubt and a lack of confidence in yourself. There may be an unconscious desire to make restitution for wrongs committed in previous lives. Thus, you may feel fated and desire to retreat from society. A strong inner discipline gives you the ability to repay your past life debts, though. Your present path may involve serving mankind in some manner. Chronic health problems can be experienced if subconscious fears are not brought out into the open. There is a love of solitude. Work may be behind the scenes or it may involve an occupation where you do not come into contact with the general public.

Uranus in 8th houseYou have strong psychic feelings and a keen intuition. You perhaps have unconventional ideas about life, sex and death, which you do not necessarily reveal. The afterlife is a great mystery for you and you may seek to probe for answers. The occult sciences in general may intrigue you. You may experience difficulties through nervous tension. Sudden loss or gain could come about with other people's resources. There can be an unexpected inheritance or financial gain through unusual sources. Be careful around electricity and machinery. An interest in healing, perhaps through the laying on of hands, attends this position. You may have entertained thoughts of suicide in earlier years.

Neptune in 12th houseYou are reflective and intuitive. You have psychic ability which operates unconsciously. You may experience intense feelings of loneliness and of being held in bondage to a specific person. You feel a need to connect with a higher Power and to be part of the oneness of all life. There is interest in occult and mystical subjects. Serving those in some kind of confinement is a possibility. Serve or suffer may be a keynote in your life. Secret enemies may try to undermine you. Forgiveness, love and compassion need to be expressed and lived.

Pluto in 9th houseYou are intuitive and may be clairvoyant. Travel in other dimensions is possible during sleep. There is an inherent interest in religion and philosophy. You want to know why and how. There can be the danger of such total belief in your own ideas that it borders on fanaticism, with total disregard for the thoughts and beliefs of others. Develop tolerance for other's beliefs. You search for Truth as a starving man looks for food. You want to know everything. Metaphysical experiences are possible and transformation can occur through dreams, long distance travel or philosophical insights and revelations. You can suffer mental strain from studying too intensely. You must control your desire to always be right no matter what.

Planetary aspects Interpretations


If the planets represent energies and cosmic forces that manifest in different ways, then the planetary aspects show how these energies and forces tend to act and react, one with another, if the will of the person is not brought into play to change them.

Sun harmonizing with MoonYou are a creative person who can best satisfy your own personal goals by having the support of your family and others, which enables you to act with confidence. You have the ability to satisfy both your need to be an individual and your need to interrelate with others. You are independent, self-reliant and content with yourself. Your willpower has been used in previous lifetimes to bring your emotions into harmony. This, then, attracts to you general success in life, good home surroundings, faithful friends, esteem in the community, fair financial conditions and generally good health. You can rise in life through your own innate ability, which either gains for you the recognition of people in positions to help you, or which impels you to find your own niche and make it happen for yourself. The objective and subjective sides in your nature are in harmony and work well together. This brings peace and contentment amongst the various trials in life.

Sun harmonizing with MarsYou are bold, daring, confident, active, vital, energetic and positive. You love friendly competition and your initiative, self-esteem and self-confidence make you a winner at all you undertake. You have learned how to control your desires by using your willpower and that brings added power, for the person that can control themself can control the world. You have wonderful physical vitality and excellent recuperative powers.

You have the ability to concentrate and continue working on something until it is completely finished � and done correctly. You have the necessary patience and persistence to be successful at anything you undertake. You have a strong sense of responsibility and are very conscientious in fulfilling your duties. You often do things because you feel it is expected of you. You have a certain shyness and reserve about you that does not make others uncomfortable by being around you. You dislike making a spectacle of yourself. Your need to feel organized causes you to dislike disorder and clutter in your home or workplace. There may be gain through older people. Those in positions of authority help you because they see that you are a hard and dedicated worker. You are a born leader with the innate ability to appraise and coordinate the efforts needed to obtain your objectives. Your mind is practical, contemplative and authoritative. You may have difficulty taking directions from others, though, because of your own methodical analysis of all situations.

Sun harmonizing with NeptuneYou are imaginative and quite sensitive to the conditions with which you surround yourself. You love the colorful, the beautiful, the musical and the magical. You are attracted to metaphysics and want to understand the deeper truths of life. You feel connected to the whole universe and feel rapport with all living creatures. You are sympathetic, compassionate and caring and will always go out of your way to help someone in need. In order to be fulfilled you need to express yourself through some creative pursuit, either art, music, photography, dance or drama. You tend to be very idealistic, a bit romantic, and at times somewhat impractical. You are filled with many ideas and much inspiration and with a little effort you could bring all your dreams and fantasies into reality. In previous lifetimes you have started the work of developing your psychic potential into concrete abilities and you may continue that work in this life by serving those around you who need your help. You are able to contact your Higher Self for wisdom, truth and guidance. You have a love of art, music and painting and you appreciate refinement and high ideals. You may have visions and dreams that you do not understand. Because of your extreme sensitivity, you tend to avoid direct confrontation with others. You are blessed with a certain ethereal charm and magnetism.

Sun harmonizing with PlutoYou are very confident and have great faith and trust in your own abilities. You believe that you can survive anything that life throws your way. You expect to conquer any obstacle, problem or bad habit that you may have. Your willpower is very strong and you have the necessary self-control and self-discipline to go with it that practically guarantees success in life. You have tremendous inner resources, strength and stamina. You use all these potent talents to help reform the things around you that need changing. You stand up for your rights as well as for the rights of others. You have leadership qualities and executive skills. People look to you to show them the way. You are very intense and pursue your goals with complete dedication and singleness of purpose, almost to the point of compulsion or fanaticism. You find it difficult to respect people who are weak-willed or those who avoid confronting their lives and problems head-on. You feel in charge of your own destiny and you believe that is the way it should be. You have the intuitive perception to see right through things and get to the heart of the matter. You recognize your need to dissolve negative attitudes and thought patterns and you go about this in the same way that you go about everything else � with intensity, focus and concentration. You are a winner and people instinctively feel this when around you.

Moon harmonizing with MarsYou have a lot of energy and vitality and this aspect adds to your good health and emotional well-being. You are assertive and you face your difficulties in a direct, no-nonsense sort of way. You do not brood about your problems, you simply go ahead and try to eliminate them by working through them. You do not have much sympathy for others who will cry about their troubles and not try to do something about them. You have learned to use your emotions and desires along positive and constructive lines. You do not get ill very often and when you do you have excellent recuperative powers. You have a lot of enthusiasm and spark and people like being around you because you give them energy. You are resourceful and courageous and willing to take calculated risks. The opposite sex finds you attractive and fun-loving.

Moon discordant to UranusYou are emotionally unstable and erratic and your moods can change at the drop of a hat. You are fiercely independent and you hate being restrained in any way. You love the bizarre, the unusual, the unacceptable and the unconventional. You cannot stick to anything long enough to get good at it. You lack self-control and self-discipline. You crave excitement, change, and discovery, and cannot tolerate a routine or lifestyle that doesn't offer much in the way of surprise or challenge. Excitable, spontaneous, and enthusiastic about anything new, you may be perceived by others as being too impulsive, especially in personal relationships. You certainly do not want to feel tied down. It is not easy for you to keep your commitments or your promises because you don't know how you will be feeling from one day to the next. You do things on a whim. Your needs come before all others. Your domestic life tends to be very unstable, as do your relationships with women in general. You need to control your unpredictable emotional responses to others. At times you are quite distant and at other times you are very friendly. This confuses others. There are times when you are hesitant to get involved with other people since they may make demands on your freedom. You need to feel free, without any ties to anyone. The challenge here is to learn how to control your sudden, unpredictable emotional storms. When you are emotionally upset, you act without thinking. This makes you susceptible to accidents. You are a very high-strung, nervous person who has trouble sitting still for any length of time. You like unusual experiences and you enjoy shocking conventional people. Your desire for freedom makes it difficult for you to stay in any one place for very long or maybe even with one person. You need to learn to count to ten before blowing your cool in order to help yourself control your unpredictable outbursts.

Moon blending with NeptuneYou have a tireless imagination and the ability to visualize your dreams and fantasies into reality, if you can put forth the necessary work it takes. You are indeed a dreamer, very much attuned to the world of illusion and mystery. You retreat into your own little world to escape the pressures and hardships of the world. You must be careful that you don't stay there and neglect your earthly duties and responsibilities. Running away from trouble does not get rid of it. You are sympathetic, compassionate, gentle and kind and are an easy touch for anyone with a sob story to take advantage of. You need to develop self-control of your emotions and your imagination.

You feel the pain that others feel, you feel their sorrow and you help whomever you can. You are fairly passive and it is difficult for you to fight or assert yourself, even when you need to. You need to learn how to stand up for your own rights. You have ability in the occult arts and may experience prophetic dreams. You have a great deal of intuition and you can trust it if you develop the habit of really listening and responding to it. You must avoid any negative psychic practices such as Ouija boards, hypnotism, s�ances and mediums for they would be detrimental to you. You are mystical, but not necessarily practical. You may lack the necessary willpower to resist temptation so it might be wise for you to avoid it entirely rather than putting yourself into difficult situations. You soak up the emotional state of the people and situations with which you surround yourself, so choose positive environments that are uplifting rather than degrading. Devotional music stirs your soul and you recognize it as a voice from home. There may be introversion and self-indulgence. You have a strong attraction to art and music and there may be talent in either, or photography, drama or dance. At times you become disappointed or disillusioned with others because of your tendency to idealize the people you like.

Moon harmonizing with PlutoYou prefer emotional intensity and are attracted to the mysterious, the unknown, and to dangerous or challenging experiences which draw on all of your inner resources. You have the ability to handle emotional crises very well and you are interested in the deep roots of emotional problems and how to cure them. You insist on bringing feelings between people out into the open, for you want real closeness and intimacy with others, without barriers or secrets. You don't play games with people's emotions. You have great interest in scientific, religious or occult mysteries and you enjoy reading books on natural methods of healing, psychology, sex or science fiction. You are very sensitive psychically and use your sensitivity to understand others. You enjoy learning and absorb information easily. Your emotions have great depth that few are aware of. You are a hard and dedicated worker who has a great deal of endurance, inner strength and stamina. You have the ability to get right to the heart of the matter and figure out what is wrong or what is causing the difficulty. You love to analyze other people's problems and you make an effective counselor. You have a strong force of will and a never-say-die attitude. There may be interest in death or life after death.

Mercury harmonizing with VenusYou can appreciate the finer, more aesthetic things of life because you have a well-developed sense of form, proportion, design and beauty. With such skills you could perhaps be successful as an artist, sculptor, fashion designer, craftsmen, interior decorator, creative writer or jewelry designer. This aspect usually gives talent in the arts, whether it be writing, poetry, speaking or musical ability. You may possess a lovely singing voice. You have the ability to bring harmony to situations through your expert use of the spoken word. The way you think and speak tends to bring peace in difficult situations. You are a natural arbiter and diplomat. You may have success in sales of artistic or other beautiful objects. You have a natural eye for color and an ear for music. Your sense of humor, tact, and personal charm are of great benefit to you in any work with people on a one-to-one level. Your emotions are tied to your mental processes and it may be hard for you to express tour feelings without intellectualizing or rationalizing them. If you do not have artistic talent yourself, then you certainly have a fine appreciation of art, in all its many forms. You are a natural at settling arguments and soothing hurt feelings.

Mercury blending with AscendantYou are restless, high-strung and have a lot of nervous energy which makes it difficult for you to relax and settle down. You like to be on the go and involved with several projects all at the same time. Your mind is active and you are continually on the search for new ideas and information. You need the stimulus of communicating with others and you do not like to be left alone for very long at a time. It is sometimes difficult for you to stop your brain from racing here and there and sometimes you wish you just had a switch so you could turn it on and off in order to get some peace.

Venus harmonizing with AscendantYou are cheerful, fun-loving, charming, easy-going and have a pleasant personality. You love beauty and harmony and you are happiest when things are going smoothly. You do not like discord and you do not go out of your way to make waves. You may have artistic talent.

Mars discordant to JupiterYou tend to put your desires ahead of other's needs. This leads to selfishness, an egotistical attitude that others do not like, and a withdrawal from wanting to help others because of the inconvenience, expense, etc. Yet you are fully capable of using your great energy and determination to help all those around you who ask for your help. You are also able to become so devoted to something or someone that you give up all personal desires and passions. You have to decide which path you are going to follow.

You are ambitious, enterprising, self-confident and you have a strong desire to succeed in a big way. But, you can come across at times as being too forceful or aggressive in your desire to succeed in life. You are constantly looking for new opportunities, new experiences and new knowledge. Travel, either physical or mental, can be an avenue for you in this quest. You love taking risks if you think this will help you come out ahead, either financially or otherwise. But you should be careful as you are prone to bad judgment, bad luck and overdoing your speculative activities. Stay away from gambling because if you happen to "catch the bug", it could ruin you.

You have the tendency to overextend yourself, promise more than you can deliver and at times you exaggerate the truth for effect or for personal gain. You do so because of an overly optimistic or overly confident assessment of your own capacities and abilities. No matter how much you accomplish, you never seem to be completely satisfied. You always feel you can do more or that you should be doing more, so you set your sights on yet another goal. Perhaps you need to search for yourself within.

Get in the habit of planning ahead so that you do not rush yourself and thus put yourself at greater risk of an accident through carelessness and hurry. Forethought will also help you to be more considerate of others, as you are apt to be thoughtless, without meaning to cause pain. You enjoy competition and challenge. You like the chase more than the conquest. Life at times is a big game for you. You will find that you will get along far better with others if you learn to work in cooperative harmony rather than in competition.

Although you have potential athletic ability, which would be a constructive use of your energy and competitive nature, it is wondered whether or not you possess the necessary self-discipline in order to be truly great or successful. You have an abundance of physical energy and are generally very optimistic. There is danger of dissipating yourself through extravagance or self-indulgence. Self-control is required. There may be trouble through legal matters. Practice balancing your enthusiasm and your aggressiveness in how you deal with others. Guard against working too fast as this sometimes makes your work sloppy or half-finished. Part of the reason for working too fast is your restlessness, which creates a need to be on the move a lot.

Jupiter harmonizing with UranusUnusual opportunities come to you in life, normally quite out of the blue. You have lofty goals and ideals and you are a bit of an eccentric. Others may see you as being slightly ahead of your time. You are optimistic with a pleasing personality and a warm sense of humor. You possess an ingenious, inventive and original mind along with a broad, humane, tolerant and benevolent disposition. There is a tendency to delve into the occult arts and sciences. You are kind, hospitable, sociable and gentle and give of yourself and your possessions with generosity. You are always there to help a friend. Being around unusual people and places gives you the opportunity to learn new things, which is why you do it in the first place. Your desire for new ideas causes you to continually question the whys of different situations. You like to be on the go and will probably move around a lot in the course of your life. Routine or repetitive jobs are extremely boring to you, and if you are forced to do them, you can become very discouraged. You need freedom and independence to pursue your own thing. The thought of being tied down frightens you because you do not know whether you can do that or not. Money and other financial resources come to you in unexpected and sudden ways. This aspect signifies that spiritual blessings and guardianship surround you because of good deeds done in past lives.

Saturn blending with NeptuneYou may be subject to feelings of depression, insecurity and self-doubt. Whether you like it or not, at some point you will need to trust in people, regardless of past bad experiences. In past lives you yourself have not been all that nice to others and now you are given the opportunity to see if you can turn the other cheek to those who do you wrong and learn how to forgive them. Two wrongs do not make a right and part of your mission here is to rise above the bad things that the world does to you. Withdrawing from society will not help you accomplish your task. You must get in there and mix it up. That is the only way to overcome any rough side to your character. Face your problems, face those who make life difficult for you and trust that your salvation comes from the facing. Remember that Achilles was only harmed when he turned away from his enemy. That is the only way he could get hit in the heel with the arrow. Face your problems head-on and do not ignore them, hoping they will go away. In time you may learn that suffering brings obedience and obedience brings relief and salvation.

Saturn harmonizing with PlutoPersonal growth, reform and regeneration is possible if you put your Will into it. Many changes are possible in your life, all designed to teach you needed lessons to help you evolve and mature. You have the self-discipline and the ability to endure difficult times. You instinctively know they will not last and that things will eventually improve if you just give time a chance to do its magic. The ambition you seem to have involves the public or the masses in some way. Their destiny and yours are somehow intertwined. You have the ability to control your thoughts and emotions and are seldom carried away by emotional outbursts. People see leadership qualities in you because of your skill at disciplining yourself and your honesty, common sense, good judgment and reliability. You feel that whatever you receive must be earned and for this reason, you feel comfortable in slowly climbing the ladder of success through hard work and patience. You occasionally like to be alone because interacting with others sometimes scares or confuses you. It is not easy to teach you because you prefer to learn from your own experiences rather than through the second-handed experiences of others.

Uranus discordant to NeptuneYou are a very sensitive individual who might experience trouble if you dabble in any negative psychic practices, such as Ouija boards, s�ances, hypnotism, crystal-ball gazing, mediums, etc. You can be and probably are influenced a great deal by other people's suggestions, thoughts, words and ideas. You can snatch vibrations and ideas from the ether, as it were, and use them to your benefit if you discipline your mind and emotions. You must not allow your great desire to be different take you away from Truth and wisdom. You will not find your true Self through drugs or alcohol abuse. Service to others will help keep you on the right Path. Keep an open mind and ask your Higher Self to show you the Way. Find emotional and creative release through enterprises such as music, art or writing.

Neptune harmonizing with PlutoAs with all in your generation, you have the opportunity to be of service to others for the benefit of humanity. Use any psychic or spiritual powers to help those around you.


                 

Gab Astrocodex Analysis



Sun In Sagittarius 

When a person has his natal Sun in Sagittarius, it means that he belongs to the zodiac sign of Sagittarius. Sagittarius is the ninth sign of the zodiac, and has planet Jupiter as its ruling celestial body. The period of Sagittarius starts on the 23rd of November and lasts until the 22nd of December. Slight differences in the exact hours can occur because we should not forget that every fourth year has one day more than the others. The Sun is the brightest object in the sky, the life-giving star of our Solar System, and also the most important celestial body in astrology. Also called Sol, the Sun is impersonated by the ancient Greek god Helios. Life on earth is literally empowered by the Sun’s energy, with it having an effect on all the biorhythms of live organisms. 

Astrologically, its influences are so important that most people only know the sign where their Sun is placed in, referring to it just as “their sign”. The Sun rules our vitality and self-perception, making any house it is placed in the epicenter of our life. It has a strong masculine energy, and in the natal chart depicts our father. In addition, it can also show relations with the male gender or generally people who become a father figure for us. In addition, the Sun is strongly connected with activity and self-confidence and rules our personality and ego. 

When it is located in Sagittarius, Jupiter’s benevolent rays are blending with the ones of the Sun. Thus, there is a flow of very positive energy that makes the Sun’s attributes even more pleasant. 

Sun in Sagittarius people tend to be among the happiest, enjoying whatever life can offer. They love humor and having fun, yet also can adore indulging in procrastination, laziness, and irresponsibility. For them, everyday pleasure is the ultimate goal, and it is rather easily reached through their daily approach towards reality. Jupiter and Sagittarius are the natural rulers of the 9th house, so their effects on a person are quite similar to a natal Sun in the ninth house. 

Sagittarius sign people are drawn towards the higher levels of knowledge, and understanding the big picture of the world that surrounds them. The 9th house rules teaching, and eventually, a lot of Sagittarians will end up spreading the knowledge they have acquired. In addition, writing and publishing are also ninth house matters, so they can be quite successful in spreading their ideas (or of other people’s ideas) through written forms. Sun in Sagittarius natives love philosophy and will spend a lot of time on abstract ideas. Yet, they are not so fond of small details, which can easily lead towards following wrong theories. Religion and spiritual paths in general are also part of the realm of Sagittarius. They are at least loosely connected with philosophy, and natives of this sign may be very much attracted to exploring them. This can even lead them to become spiritual gurus, priests or elsehow exercise preaching towards masses. In addition, as the 9th house rules law and its officials, 

Sagittarius people are usually having their instinct of fairness strongly developed. This can make them good judges, accepted as a just authority by both sides of a disagreement. Of course, this can also appear in their daily affairs; it is not uncommon that they become the person to whom others come for advice or to solve disputes. Jupiter rules generosity and Sagittarius people will always feel a natural urge to benefit others. They enjoy spreading happiness and contributing to other people’s prosperity. As it is natural for all fire signs, such practices help them raise their own self-esteem and ego as well. They can gain pleasant emotions from being benefactors, in becoming a center of attention and admired by others. Yet, this usually is not the goal; 

Sagittarians have a genuine inner need to act big and love creating smiles in other’s faces. Indeed, for people who have their Sun in Sagittarius, a smile is the most powerful life fuel. It is no secret that the 9th house and Sagittarius are connected with long distance travel to other countries, while also learning foreign languages and receiving foreign cultures. Jupiter is the planet of expansion and urges Sun in Sagittarian people towards adventure. They want to discover the world around them, in order to better observe the big picture that we already mentioned. For them, knowledge is power, and the best way to achieve it is by experiencing different things, comparing them and then creating their own belief system. Thus, it is more than normal for them to travel a lot. Sagittarians have a tendency to study abroad for some years, and many of them combine it with higher education – a master’s degree. In any case, this sign has a lot more possibilities to relocate in another country, even if it is temporary. Of course, being so adventurous is not always safe.

 Sun in Sagittarius people tend to be luckier than others, because of the benefits that Jupiter gifts them. In addition, it is in their nature to be over-confident. Yet, they should not push their luck too much. They can get away many times with being careless, but it takes one moment without Jupiter’s protection for a catastrophe to happen. The best advice for Sagittarius sign people is not to take unnecessary risks so that they keep away from trouble. It is not a big sacrifice to do, yet it can bring stable prosperity in their adventures and exploration of the world around them. 

Other problems of Sun in Sagittarius’ behavior are an absence of patience, while also a lack of tactfulness regarding honesty. People of this sign will many times not consider possible reactions of other individuals, and hurt them by presenting an honest opinion that they are not ready to hear. The worst thing that a Sun in Sagittarius individual can experience, is boredom. When they are bored, they feel imprisoned and they just must escape, fly away. That is why Sagittarius people can be unstable in their relations with people, and generally prefer chaotic patterns of life depending on their moods. Whatever and whoever appeal them at a certain moment will receive their time. It is very difficult for them to spend a lot of their time on things and people that do not intrigue their mind. 

The sign of Sagittarius belongs to the element of fire, together with Aries and Leo. Fire people usually are more active and impulsive, with a quicker pace of life. They like to lead more than follow, and to be the center of attention. Yet, Sun in Sagittarius individuals will battle less for leadership, as they do not enjoy responsibilities. For them, leading roles may come more easily, and even then, they may not accept them. Such individuals will prefer more symbolic forms of leadership, that do not involve organizing the structure that they rule. They will like to lead only if the procedure is fun. Individuals that have Sagittarius as their sign can become great teachers and professors, or elsehow work in the field of passing knowledge towards other. Writing and publishing are also under the rule of Sagittarius, as we already mentioned. In addition, all careers connected with traveling are quite suitable – no matter if they own a travel agency, work in aviation, ships, or just write about travel. 

In addition, as Sagittarius rules humor, they can be successful as comedians, or entertainment business. The connection of Sagittarius to philosophy and religion may prompt them to become preachers, or even become motivational speakers. Also, we should not forget that anything involving foreign countries is under Sagittarian rule. This makes import and export another successful area that they can enter. Of course, foreign languages and translations are another field where they can excel. Finally, long distance work is also an option, while another interesting tendency that Sagittarius people have is not to work at all. This can be for them even a perfect option, allowing them to have a lot of time to enjoy life. So, in case that a Sagittarius already has a lot of money, he will probably not work but prefer to travel around the world, be happy and maybe later write and publish – without having financial gains as a goal. People with their natal Sun in Sagittarius usually are very relaxed in their relationships. They will not take things seriously and prefer to concentrate on the fun part of relations. For them, loose bonds are better than stable ones, as they cannot feel imprisoned and pressured. They enjoy individuals with a good sense of humor, and cannot stand misery in other people. When they feel that another person does not have a positive approach towards life, they may keep away from him. 

A Sagittarius cannot become a babysitter, healing the depressive moods of others. He needs active happy people, with whom he can experience the happiness of life on an even higher level. On the other hand, this less than serious approach may make them lose people who crave for stability. 

Jupiter and Sagittarius rule our thighs, hips, and liver. These are also the body parts that can more easily suffer during difficult transits to the native’s natal Sun. In case that someone has adverse natal aspects to it, they can even experience chronic problems. The Sun in our charts rules our own father. Thus, in case it is in Sagittarius, it will give a Sagittarian type of father. There is a high possibility that the father is occupied in one of the Sagittarian professions, mentioned above. He usually is an easy-going and funny person, who may have been a quite positive influence. Especially if the native’s Sun is well aspected, he will perceive his father as a source of joy, a person who radiates happiness. His father can frequently 

Have his Sun in Sagittarius as well. Alternatively, his father may have a lot of planets in Sagittarius, or his Jupiter strong by placement and aspects. An adversely aspected Sun may indicate that the father is lazy and unorganized, caring too much about his personal hedonism in life and not serious enough in raising his child. Another pattern that frequently appears with bad aspects, is the father eating a lot and being quite fat, which is connected with the expansive traits of Jupiter. We should always keep in our mind that no Sagittarius is the same as another. The biggest mistake is to think that only by knowing our Sun sign, we can use astrology. 

In case you are a Sagittarius, care to find out at which degree of Sagittarius your Sun resides. By creating a natal chart, you can also find out in which house it resides. Also, examine the aspects that the Sun forms with other planets in your natal chart. You will understand a lot more about the detailed role that the Sun has in your horoscope. After all, the Sun is the core of your existence, and definitely signifies an important part of our lifepath.

Ascendant in Sagittarius

The Ascendant or Rising sign is the name given to the sign on the eastern horizon during the time of birth of an individual. Having a Sagittarius Ascendant means that during your birth, the sign of Sagittarius was rising from above the ground, the same way that the Sun rises. People who have Sagittarius as their rising sign, have Jupiter (Sagittarius’ ruling planet) as their overall chart ruler. Jupiter is considered the most benefic planet, and thus having it as your chart ruler definitely gives you a boost of luck and protection. Thus, you should also examine the condition of your natal Jupiter when referring to your Ascendant. 

Our Rising Sign is a very important astrological parameter, even though many theories are proposed by different astrologers and astrological systems. Still, most agree that the Ascendant defines our body and physical characteristics, also playing a strong role in the development of our character. This is quite natural, as the 1st house (the Ascendant being on its cusp) is responsible for our ego, self-perception and behavior. We should keep in mind, that when the Ascendant is at the beginning of a sign, the sign’s traits are more potent than when it is placed at its end. When the next sign occupies the biggest part of the 1st house, it naturally gives a lot of its traits to the native’s character and even to his body. 

If your Ascendant is at the last degrees of a sign, you can consider the next sign as a co-Ascendant. Many people though, experience the next sign to behave as the Rising sign a lot more than the one which is actually rising. Before we continue with the traits the sign grants, we should mention that depending on the geographical latitude, each sign needs slightly different time to ascend. If we are born near the equator, the differences are hardly visible. Yet, the closer we are born to any of the two poles, the better the differences between signs can be visible. This is also the reason why people born in rather extreme northern or southern latitudes can experience rather strange natal charts, with some houses being huge while some others quite small. As always, we propose to our readers to use the Placidus system in calculating their houses, because we find it to function better both on our own charts and on the charts of other people that we have analyzed. In the northern hemisphere, Sagittarius is rising rather slowly. 

When someone is born at 50 degrees Northern latitude, the sign will need two hours and thirty minutes to rise fully. At a city placed at 60 degrees Northern latitude, the sign will need around two hours and fourty minutes. Thus, a person born in the Northern hemisphere has statistically a little bit more possibilities to have a Sagittarius Ascendant, when the average time a sign needs to Ascend is two hours. As we already mentioned, individuals with a Sagittarius Ascendant will have Jupiter as their chart ruler. The planet of expansion will be very important in their lives, and also strongly connected with their physical body, vitality and appearance. Their body and self will be affected not only by transits of planets through their Ascendant, but also by transits to their natal Jupiter. In addition, natal aspects of other planets to the chart ruler, while also its location in a particular house, will play a strong role. People with Sagittarius rising must take care to empower their Jupiter in healthy ways, as its functions will always have a positive or negative effect overall on their chart, touching all their life areas. Because Jupiter has a natural urge to expand everything, such individuals must learn to exercise modesty and avoid exaggerating. This way they will be able to tame those expansive characteristics, which could create issues when going out of control. 

Having Sagittarius as your Ascendant feels like having Jupiter in your 1st house. The native has a positive approach to life, and is a natural optimist. He likes having fun and laughing, and usually is easily accepted by other people due to his out-going character. They are curious individuals, always ready to discover the world around them. The natural expansive traits of Sagittarius make them need action, as they cannot stand feeling entrapped. This makes them be constantly on the move, yet on the other hand definitely diminishes stability. Other people may frequently think they lack seriousness, behaving as children and being quite light-headed in their decisions. Yet, a Sagittarius Ascendant person has faith in himself, being confident that any decision will actually bring a good outcome. This inner positivity can help them overcome difficulties, and see their life through a filter full of hope. Eventually, success and positive outcomes do happen, and the suffering experienced in reaching them is minimized due to this positive approach towards reality. As a body, Sagittarius Ascendant people tend to have elongated limbs, if proportionally compared to the average person. There are some possibilities of weight problems, especially if other factors contribute to that (like natal aspects to Jupiter or impaired planets in the 1st house). We should not forget that expansion is good unless it gets out of control, that is why people with such an Ascendant should be careful to not have rapid weight changes – to both directions. 
As all fire sign Ascendants, when the individual is a male he may have problems with baldness concerning his hair. The fire Ascendants are considered to be too hot and dry for the hair, leading many times to their loss. Sagittarius Ascendant people tend to smile more than others – even without any apparent reason. They can be easily recognizable in a crowd because of this characteristic, or because they are joking and deliberately behaving silly. This rising sign tends to give an oval face, a correct nose and beautiful legs and hands. Other people perceive them as friendly and funny, and usually do not need a lot of time to adapt to their presence. 

A Sagittarius Rising person will adore traveling, gifting to his mind new images and the feeling that he is not tied to a certain geographical spot. In addition, understanding new cultures, religions and languages offers him the necessary thrill to feel alive. Jupiterian restlessness is being satisfied through frequent traveling, and when they cannot physically travel, a book can be the best aid to make those long journeys mentally. They can either choose to learn a new language, understand the basis of an exotic religion or learn another nation’s culture. Usually, this preparation will lead to visiting that foreign place someday in their life, as daydreaming will form a strong bridge to the realization of their fantasy. 

Natives with their Ascendant in Sagittarius are usually very talkative, especially about subjects that are more abstract and philosophical – or even academic. They can talk hours about higher knowledge, the exact opposite of Gemini Ascendant which prefer to talk for hours about trivial information and chit-chat. Sagittarius Rising people can have a very broad area of interests, making them interesting for communicating on many levels. Yet, this defragmentation of knowledge into many niches will definitely make them lack in details compared to people who specialize in some concrete subjects. 

Sagittarius Rising people will adore taking part in recreational activities that promote fun and humor, and that involve a lot of people, contributing to a shared wellbeing. In case these activities also involve food and people of different cultures, they will be even happier and shining. They take huge pleasure in seeing others spending their time in good ways, and thus will frequently be the organizers of such events – and not only attend them. After all, they cannot stand routine and such symposiums can only bring unexpected happiness – while also broaden their horizons even more as they usually end up in deep conversations. 

The Sagittarius Ascendant body is governed by Jupiter, so it may also experience dysfunctions connected and ruled by the sign and the planet. Sagittarius rules our hips, thighs and liver, while Jupiter is also connected with fat and the sciatic nerves. Thus, difficult transits to such an individual’s Ascendant or to natal Jupiter can affect the body parts mentioned above. Always have in mind that any planet present near the Ascendant point will definitely alter both the physical appearance and the characteristics of the native. We could say that in the first 10 degrees of the first house it will have the strongest influence on the Ascendant, while also the last 5 degrees of the 12th house. The planet’s energies blend with the Ascendant ones; we can imagine the sign as a canvas while the planet as the paint that will, in the end, create the unique picture of the individual. 

Of course, it is possible to have more than one planets (or astrological points/ asteroids) in conjunction with the ascendant – furthermore complicating the big picture. To understand better your body, your Ego and how they function you should analyze all those planetary influences. This is why knowing your Ascendant does not necessarily mean jumping to correct conclusions about your life.
