Ascendant in ♈ (Aries)

Just a little bit 'bout horoscope/personality for this post since it's related to myself.

The Ascendant/Rising sign: Aries

The Ascendant is considered the mask one wears when meeting others. In other words, it describes the way you engage and merge with the outer world and how you bring through into life the energies depicted by the Sun, the Moon, and the rest of your birth chart. The Ascendant shows our natural defenses and how we cope with day-to-day issues.

The energies of the sign and condition of the Ascendant are most overt and obvious to others. This shows one's first, natural reaction to new people and situations.

Aries Ascendant

• Direct and quick. Their first instinct is to do  rather than think. They simply charges forward without much ado.
• This position does not make a person aggressive. Forthright, yes, but aggression is too strong a word for them. They have a youthful, direct manner that sees what it wants and generally goes for it. At the same time, there isn't any malice in their intent.
• Some are competitive, but generally put most of the pressure on themselves.These people love to come out ahead in all that they do. They are ready quickly, walk quickly and have little patience for dilly-dallying. Their temper is quick, too. It's also quick to disappear. Rarely do you find them holding grudges. Their mannerisms are rather simple and straightforward.
• They love action, and is often trying to stir up some activity. Their strengths lie in their enterprising ways. Finishing things they start does not always come as easily, unless the ruler, Mars, is placed in a more tenacious sign, such as Taurus or Scorpio.
• They often gives a rather swift walk, with the head leaning forward slightly. This walk is surprisingly distinctive. Headaches, and sinus and eye problems are the usual physical complaints of this position. Rashes and acne on the face and shoulders sometimes occur. Broad shoulders and slim hips are common. Often, these people are quick to smile, and they posses a youthful charm throughout life.
• Probably early on in life, they got typecast as the 'independent' child. As adults, people with Aries Ascendants often stick to that role in life. People don't run to help them out --- they appear quite fine doing things on their own. These people have learned to be self-reliant, and this generally stems from their early experiences.
• Despite a rather brusque and independent manner, they are usually very willing to compromise in their relationships, and are very attached to the people they hold dear.

In general, Aries Rising people project yourself into the world spontaneously, directly, honestly, fearlessly, audaciously, heroically. You carry the qualities of boldness, courage, and leadership, and your function is to blaze new pathways, to lead, to initiate and to do.

I will be posting Aries rising with Mars in the Signs.
