Traditionally it is believed that an important influence on the life and
personality have three signs his horoscope: solar, lunar and rising (on
Ascendant).
Together they create what can be termed the basis of personality, which in one
way or another woven into the characteristics of all three characters. However,
it is clear that this is not a simple synthesis of characters, and a complex web
of sometimes contradictory symptoms and characteristics, which can and must
allocate each of the three characters. So
I'll try to hold a fine line that separates the sun, moon and rising signs.
The fundamental difference between solar and lunar signs is rather obvious. These
are the two luminaries, the nature of which reflects two quite opposite
principles: the active principle "yang" and passive "yin".
The sun -
a source of light, heat, power, which apply to all nearby objects. This
flow of energy directed outward, the principle of expansion and expression of
their will.Therefore, the solar sign - a sign that defines the manner in which
people express their will, and those moments that seemed to "charge" person,
give him a boost.This is an internal motivation man pushing a person on active
operations, to interact with the world.
Thus, the Sun gives a person the motive, which they perceived as their own will
and energy to express this will, staining them in the principle of the solar
sign.
The moon,
unlike the Sun, does not possess the ability to emit light. Its
light - the reflection of sunlight, so the basis of the lunar nature of the
principle of reflection, reflection. That
is the Moon - it is a manifestation of a person in circumstances devoid of
sunlight imperative, at home, as well as his style to adapt to external
circumstances and psychosocial protection. It's
all reflective and subjective feelings of the person from the world, its
emotional and intuitive perception of things and phenomena.
Therefore, the moon sign indicates what the person at home when there is no need
to show the will, nor to defend against another's will, how strong and how it
manifests psychological defense and what is its reflexive perception of the
world.
Somewhat more complicated is the case with the release of the tripartite basis
of personality Ascendant,
his rising sign, and defining its place in the structure of personality.
That's what they write about Ascendant different authors:
The sign on the Ascendant, then there is a sign going up in the east at the time
of birth determines the style of direct perception of the world and express
themselves, in other words, it is the nature of first impressions, which a man
makes for peace, and peace upon him. (Absalom
underwater. Lectures on the introduction of astrology)
In addition to external physical data related to the constitution of the person, ASCdetermines
inherited from their parents' psychological characteristics, the so-called
physiological temperament. This
person, "natural self" man, something with which he came into this world. (The
Sun is in this context Aych defines as the
essence of man,
and the Ascendant as his personality,
that is, a set of external traits - approx. A.L.)
(Alexander Aych. Astropsychology)
Ascendant describes our talents, abilities, external demeanor. In
other words, rising at the time of birth of the individual zodiac sign describes
our personality. (Pavel
Globa. House horoscope)
Thus, ASC does not form the motivation, does not give impulses - he has no
motives and goals. This is the point,
which puts the entire horoscope personality traits: appearance, demeanor,
character traits - that shape the individual manifestations of man. This
is something that, with sufficient severity Ascendant, first seen around and at
the same time, there is little noticeable to the man himself.
On the one hand, the Ascendant is the outer shell, a prism, which puts on
display the other aspects of your horoscope is cast. Ascendant
sign - this is the first impression that makes people superficial image, shown
to a greater or lesser degree. And as
the "deepening" in the structure of the person the order of characters, I would
define as follows:
- First appearances of the rising sign,
- Then the sun sign - a manifestation of the conscious motivation of a person's
will through interaction with the world
- And finally, the deep desires and complexes incorporated in the moon sign.
The same principle can construct a chain of motives to human action:
- A desire, a need at the moon sign (the Moon, as is known, is also responsible
for meeting the needs and the accumulation of resources)
- Impulse to action, pushing to meet the arising of desire, "charging" through
the solar sign
- The imposition on the end of the hue of the rising sign.
On the other hand, one does not distinguish clearly between these three
characters, forcing some to a superficial level, and others - on the level of
the subconscious. The moon, which
reflects those underlying manifestation that the person prefers to keep to
yourself and do not advertise, and is also responsible for the habit, reflex
actions and judgments, that somehow appear on the surface, and woven into the
manifestations of the sun and rising sign. And
the Ascendant, which forms the external manifestations of the focus person, not
laid on the surface of the consciousness of the individual, but in the depths of
his physiological reactions to his "physiological temperament" and therefore
often do not realize the person is not fixed in the minds, if not consciously
begin to monitor themselves.
Therefore, the above chain is purely arbitrary and only reflects the levels at
which most often perceived manifestations of all three characters around him. But
in the life of the inclusion of characters is not so clear and, depending on a
number of circumstances, change the order and by manifestations of either sign.
