—feel free to ask questions in my askbox!
ㅤ
ㅤ
✩ aries rising ✩
You are going to be appearing more determined,dynamic, and head-firstthis year! Main themes could surround the self, your desires, and ambition. You’re possibly feeling more confident as well. There is a sense of passion and drive that you feel this time around. Usually when an individual has aries as their ascendant in their solar return chart for the year, there could be a tendency of being more daringand“taking more chances”. Whether that be in career/business ventures, relationships, or opportunities in general. It is important to take advantage of this placement by encouraging yourself to be steadfast to your goals or do significant risks you’ve always wanted to do. This could even point to new beginnings and a fresh new perception on your life since aries starts off the zodiac cycle. Even if you’re someone who is less outspoken, you could notice you’re more direct as well, not holding back on your opinions or thoughts and going for what you want to go for. You are more than likely to be flirtierorsexual as well, other placements can reinforce this such as your ascendant aspecting venus, or mars (ascendant ruler)aspecting venus Leadership roles and taking lead of your own life. You might even start something new!
ㅤ
However, when it comes to making decisions and your initial reactions to people and situations, you could fall to being rather argumentative,controlling,competitive,impulsive, and even immature. Your desire to charge and combat your biggest battles and tasks can manifest as impatience. You could find that you are much more aggressiveandexplosive towards your loved ones as well as not knowing when to settle and relax It is important to find balance in this martian energy by practicing a bit of composure and reflection once every while. You could also be prone to stress,accidents/mistakes, and headaches due to so much of your irrepressibleness⚡️ It is important to allow yourself to take breaks and slow down as it will make sure you think and speak beforehand, because everything will seem to be going very fast for you around this time.
ㅤ
✩ taurus rising ✩
You are appearing more calm,sensitive,secure, and laid-backthis year. You’ll feel more obligated to relax and take a chill pill —For example, if you are hyperactive or get mad very easily, you might try to soothe yourself down much more than usual because you’re intending to feel stableandachieve peace around this time. You aren’t going to be the type for drama or fast-pace things as well, so you should expect yourself to be much more thoughtfulanddeliberate. Considering that you are exuding taurus energy now, you could have more goals and aspirations than usual, however, you might be more slower and careful with your approaches. You’re more committing to things, you might have a specific and long-term goal you’ll be paying attention to. Most likely you’re going to prioritize material comforts and have material goals as well, such as money, clothes, makeup, or new decorations for your room. There could be a hint of indulgence since you’re more your senses are most likely heightened. It is possible that you might even reconsider or pay attention to your values and priorities such as family, career, or school. There could be the intention of working on your self-esteem since you’re wanting more safety and comfort This is much less prominent than aries ascendants unless you have other placements or aspect that manifests it, but you could be more sensual and in need of physical pleasures. You could prioritize your beauty andphysical appearance as well, such as your fashion, hair or makeup. This can be a useful time to where you can work on money mattersandfinancial stability Since taurus is ruled by venus, and means the goddess of the manifest, you have one of the ascendants hat have the biggest potential to manifest their dreams and goals into reality, so utilize it to its best this year ✨
ㅤ
Nevertheless, it is important to not fall into lazinessorstagnancy;andit is important to find down time but don’t be down for too long unless you feel it is needed. You might feel more like a procrastinator when it comes to your work or ventures. You’ll need to find ways to where you can balance the time to serve your pleasures and do what you need to do as a responsibility ♂️ When it comes to your initial reactions to other people and your environment, make sure you do not promise to do things for others you know you’re not going to do. That makes others less trusting of you. Please be careful when it comes to over-indulgence as you could deal with weight issues (especially if you have placements and aspects like jupiter in the 1st/6th house, or jupiter square/opposing/conjunct your SR ascendant) You might need to be careful with becoming rather materialistic in the chasing to security and being ungrounded in your spiritual senses as well Do not be stubborn with apologizes or your values and beliefs. You’re going to need to be more of a mutable or suggestible person when it comes to hearing others and taking their advice and opinions.
ㅤ
ㅤ
✩ gemini rising ✩
You are appearing much more curious,adaptive,communicative,mentally active, and(depending on other placements)evensocial this year You’ll feel a strong need to learn, interact with others, and take up new interests. You could experience much more prominent interactions with your siblings, neighbors, or peers at your school; you’ll be more open-minded and accepting to new things, possibly stepping out of your comfort zone. You’ll have your mind on several things, so you’ll be busy or occupied this year, for the better or worst depending on the rest of the chart. The humorousandwitty side of your personality will manifest very easily this time around, and you won’t seem to take most things as seriously because you could be much more playfulorchildish as well This would be a helpful time to make new friends or participate in activities, events, or groups where you work with other people for fun such as volunteer work, camps, sororities/fraternities, or summer programs. Having this ascendant might give you luck in academics or activities where your brain is used ; you might find that your school life is very prominent as well. Take advantage, especially if your SR ascendant or mercury (ascendant ruler) is trine, sextile, conjunct jupiter or mars. Having a gemini ascendant in your solar return could be helpful for fixed dominant people who want to get tons of different things done.
ㅤ
Be careful when it comes to overwhelming yourself to stress,restlessness, and overthinking as well as being scatter-brainedIf it is needed, try to slow down and relax a lot this year. Try to do things once at a time and stay in one place. Perhaps try to reorganize and collect more often, or make a gradual and calculated routine. Although you are now fairly flexible and constantly stimulating yourself, there could also be a tendency of you being hard to pin down for the worst; this is especially bad for when you need to work on long-term projects ♂️ This can also be shown in your initial reactions to people and your environment, where you are too all over the place to stick to your relationship commitments or what you’ve promised to others. You might be prone to anxietyorbeing nervous more often as well. It is preferable to journal out your thoughts and stay away from coffee and sugar if you drink and eat it often this time around ☕️ Be careful about becoming more manipulativeandduplicitous too, be aware if you are presenting different facets to multiple people ♀️
ㅤ
✩ cancer rising ✩
Yourhomely,vulnerable, and sensitive side will be shown more often this year You’ll feel a need to retreat to your privateandemotional life for a sense of comfort this time around. Even if you are someone who is rather extroverted and boastful or tends to seek for outward attention, you might feel the desire to be alone, to be with the things that make you feel relieved, or to be with people who matter most to you. This could even point to putting emphasis on your family members andclosest friends ; you could perhaps seem more nurturing,caring,affectionate,supportive, and compassionate than usual, hearing others out, and seeking the same in return. Retreatingandintroversion can be a subtle manifestation, especially if there is 12th house influence in the chart. It could be possible that your goals for the year usually surrounds your security, your loved ones, or your home in some way. Either way it goes, being protective over your most precious and beloved things is usual. Your intuition is usually at its most active with this ascendant
ㅤ
In regards to your initial reactions to people and to your environment, you could find that you are hypersensitive or being extremely clingyanddependent on others (even on your romantic partner)Fluctuating in moods—being moody—andreactivity could be common as well since you could be much more aware of the energies of your environment and the people around you now The tendency to attract stomach or digestion problems as well as anxietyortension could be possible since you might be more than likely to be emotionallystressed. It is important to make sure not to satisfy the needs of others at the expense of yourself and your needs. This could make you feel insecure. Self-care is highly recommended for the year; and not just for cancer ascendants, but for moon, 4th house, and cancer dominants as well ♀️
ㅤ
ㅤ
✩ leo rising ✩
You are going to appear more striking,boastful, and positive this year Having this ascendant (or even your sun in the 1st) in your SR chart can point to a significant boost in your confidenceandself-assurance; you are specifically going to feel more confident in your identity,sense of self, and self-expression! ♀️ Therefore, expect yourself to appear or be more authentic. You could seek more recognitionandpopularity from others, which can point to being more social or putting yourself out there to make friends. This could indicate attracting fameandadoration from others, but other aspects and placements count. Partaking in hobbiesandfun activities could be prominent as well as dealing with children or your inner child On a sexual connotation, if your SR ascendant or the sun(ascendant ruler) is aspecting your mars, or even leo is in the 5th house in your natal chart, you could rather be interested in dealing with casual relationships orflings ❤️Feeling more playful and taking things less serious is important for you now. Perhaps your yearly goals surround working on your self-expression, identity, self-esteem/self-confidence, your hobbies, and sense of entertainment. If your SR ascendant or the sun (ascendant ruler) is aspecting your venus, or your leo is in the 7th house in your natal chart, you could attract more romanceandpotential love suitors, since there could also be a theme with ’experimenting’
ㅤ
Nonetheless, it is important to not let your confidence turn into arrogance or even selfishness, especially when it comes to your friends, romantic suitors, or loved ones Another thing that I’ve noticed that has negatively manifested from this placement is that there could be a tendency to people-pleaseor to fit in to be liked by others; maybe even making you extremely desperate for attention. You might even be a bit naive, which makes you someone susceptible to being manipulated and taken advantage of. This can be utterly embarrassing and could cause you to express your most authentic self in the worst way. Make sure to not be stubbornandmake impulsive decisions based off your ego.Impatienceandbrattiness is also possible In regards to reacting to your loved ones and the most important people in your life, being too dominating,possessive, and jealous can be displayed. Mindfulness of your decisions, making decisions based off of your true desires and intentions, and meditation could help you around this time. Meditating could also help with abstaining yourself from stressandemotional chaos, which you are prone to at this time. Health problems such as high blood pressure andirregular heartbeat ❤️ Problems with being melodramatic and superior are possible.
ㅤ
✩ virgo rising ✩
There are the significant themes of routine,practice, and work surrounding when the virgo ascendant is within your SR chart You’re going to feel the need to be more ‘in order’ or organized around this time, whether it be from being productive at your job, to creating an effective and efficient daily routine, and to more so making a new health plan and starting a diet. Responsibilities are most likely going to pack up or you’re going to feel more responsible for things. Exuding a virgo ascendant for a year can make you more analyticalanddetail-oriented, so, there could also be the drive to be more precise or even strive for flawlessness On the other hand, perhaps you’re going to want to feel useful or of assistance more often; this could be shown by working extra hours at your job, helping your loved ones with situations, or being at your personal service to achieve your goals—Being modestandhumble is a big thing as well. You could be much more in your brain more than your body around this time, thinking before you do things, which is really helpful. You’re going to find that instead of being rather hasty and impulsive, you’ll plan things beforehand and do things accordingly. Often not the case, having a virgo ascendant in the SR chart could point to being in “hermit mode”(since in tarot, the hermit card is ruled by virgo)meaning you could be more kept to yourself for the sake of your personal developmentandsoul-searching, which is ironic considering that virgo is opposite from pisces—known as the most spiritual zodiac sign. However, virgo highlights introspection, so it is possible for you to undergo self-reflection in this year
ㅤ
Although it is a benefit to be more analytical and detail-oriented with the SR virgo ascendant, it is important to emphasize that this could easily turn into perfectionism over time; make sure to continue to look at the bigger picture despite your hyper-awarenessand neediness for order. When it comes to your initial reactions to people and your environment, your sense of perfectionism could drastically translate into prissiness,snarky-behavior,spoiledness, and bratty-like behavior The tendency to want everything to be just right could just not give you stress, but everyone around you as well. Unbelievable stress can cause you to overwork others and even yourself. Meditation, journaling, breathing practices, and “letting go” can help with this. Anxiety,overthinking, or chronic stress could occur. Not feeling productive or helpful enough could also be a potential issue; to reassure yourself that you do not need to do everything to feel like you’re valuable or worthwhile. At the same time, not discouraging yourself and falling into negative thinking problems is something to work on It is okay to rest, in if which you don’t, chronic fatigue is a problem that could arise. This is not common, but there could also be a significant issue with a lack of routine. With virgo energy, you could possibly fall into eating disorders if there is a trouble with eating patterns; or perhaps there is a lack of taking care of one’s health overall
ㅤ

✩ libra rising ✩
Maintainingtranquility,middle ground, andbalance in everything you do is a recurring theme when having a Libra ascendant in the SR chart. There tends to be a focus on partnerships,friendships, and loved ones as well ❤️; so it is expected to be much more social,compromisingandcollaborative than usual. You are going to feel the need to establish more peace like a Taurus ascendant, so there is a mediating quality you’ll be presenting to others as well as to yourself. This is the time to be creative and participate in activities that involves interacting,aesthetics, and pleasuresAnd of course, you can notice that you’re much more attractive, or have a potential glow-up, especially if venus is in the 1st house conjunct the ascendant Business partners andnegotiations could be a theme if there is a prominence in the 10th house(10th house stellium, venus—planetary ruler—in the 10th house, your libra ascendant aspecting to a planet in the 10th house, or libra being in the 10th house in your natal chart)
ㅤ
It is important that your sense of diplomacy manifests into being rather vacillating, or indecisive towards others. This can make you appear untrusting or perhaps even insecureMake sure to be aware if you are seeming more passive-aggressive, and let this call you to highlight being more direct this year and having the ability to establish boundaries and values as this ascendant can also make you seem more of a pushover, therefore making it easier for people in your environment to take advantage of you. Lawsuitsandinvolvement in court are also possible, but depends on other placements ⚖️ There could be problems with confidence or self-esteem if you feel you are not getting much admiration or positive feedback from people, which can result to people-pleasing. You could notice more skin problems, like acne.
ㅤ
✩ scorpio rising ✩
You’re going to appear more private,powerful, and mysterious to others this time around You might isolate yourself and stay more ‘lowkey’ for the year, introversion is possible. Although it is not as prominent as pluto in the 1st house, you could find yourself having decent amounts of transformations throughout the year, whether that would be from releasing an old habit or a toxic relationship, paying off debt of any sorts, or converging to a new “personality” or physical appearance Either way, there is the theme of changing or at least revising things that need to change or stepping into personal control. It is also an indicator of doing deep-rooted self-discoveries like shadow work and inner child healing. Therefore, you can expect to feel intense emotions in the upcoming year with this ascendant. Intense emotions can be a result of a heightened intuition And there is a possibility of investing into occult subjects and practices. Focusing on taboo subjects. If there are any more indicators, you could feel more sexual or a deep need to be more intimate with others
ㅤ
Since you are more prone to intense emotions around this period, it is important to make sure that you do not fall into obsessive tendenciesorbouts of depression and anxiety ⬛ You are more susceptible to your traumas and triggering situations and could struggle with heavy burdens as well; and so this makes a perfect time to let go of all of the baggage you feel you need to let go. There could be hints of stagnancy, feeling as though the year isn’t going anywhere, like nothing is evolving. You could appear more broodingand ‘down in the dumps’ to others ☠️ If there are 12th house/neptunian influence to your ascendant(pluto—scorpio’s planetary ruler—in the 12th house, 12th house stellium, or scorpio is in the 12th house in your natal chart)you could be more vulnerable to paranormal activityandghosts since the 12th house rules the unseen and Scorpio is the sign of taboo subjects like hauntingsIt is okay to isolate, but you might be subject to anti-socialistic behaviors, which can cause overthinking. Sexual and reproductive health problems could be possible if there are challenging Mars/6th house influences.
ㅤ
ㅤ
✩ sagittarius rising ✩
Learning,freedom,optimism,wonder, and understanding are key themes for the year when you have a sagittarius ascendant in the SR chart You could notice that you are much more childish,humorous, and benevolent than usual, perhaps even more positive-mindedandfaithful(Unless there are challenging saturn/capricorn influences)This is a time where you are more of a forward-thinker, and possibly taking risks and exploring for the sake of expanding your horizons This ascendant can point to prioritizing your higher education—like college, your spiritual intelligence and wellbeing, and even traveling. If you are typically someone who struggles with being overly-analytical or anxious, this shows that you are more likely to look at a bigger picture and be more carefree this time around; therefore feeling more inspiredandambitiousAn observation with this SR ascendant is you could attract people who are willing to learn from you, or be inspired by you; it is possible that you’ll be teaching or motivating others often as well. You could even be self-motivating. Depending on what house your jupiter (ascendant ruler) is in, it can point to where you’ll gain deeper knowledge (For example: jupiter in the 7th house—gaining deeper knowledge from your relationships)Yourbelief system can be a prominent theme as well ✝️
ㅤ
There could be an outcome of your optimism and positivity turning into naiveness. Although this is beneficial, it is important to ground yourself and still have a mature and disciplined outlook on things as you could easily find yourself in accidents due to impulsive or grandiose decisions. Your naiveness can as well point to being taken advantage of. You are more often distracted or likely to develop “shiny object syndrome” ✨—trying to stick to a thing for the long-term but end up always finding something new to go after. It is important to not let this get in the way of business or work projects and important goals. Weight gain from indulgence is possible as you are more vulnerable to being open-minded or “broad”, this is especially more prominent with jupiter in the 1st house/jupiter conjunct ascendant Since you are more philosophical and confident, you might need to worry about becoming too arrogant,stubborn, or a bit of a “know-it-all”. It is important to remember that you are not always in the right and you are always learning from others, vice versa; it is completely fine to change what you believe in and being influenced by others
ㅤ
✩ capricorn rising ✩
With this ascendant in your SR chart, you are likely prioritizing climbing the ladder of achievement, whether be from personal goals to career goals You’ll notice you are much more mature,disciplined,determined, and hard-working. There could also be a serious undertone as well, as you could feel you have more of a responsibility. Capricorn rules the 10th house, which signifies that you could surround your year around your public image and your ‘public portfolio’. There is a foundation of self-trustwhen you are accomplishing what you want this year, and there is a sense of groundingandrealityThis is a time where you are more realistic with and aware of yourself. This could point to self-improvementandpersonal growth as well Due to this, this could make you have prominent leadership qualities; this can cause you to not just be responsible for yourself, but also for others. The house placement of saturn (ascendant ruler) shows where you are firm, disciplined, and serious.(For example: saturn in the 1st house shows you are committed to working on yourself and becoming a better person, working on your persona, and identity.)Authority figures such as your bosses and parents could be important ♂️ Having a capricorn ascendant in the SR chart gives you the opportunity to have the endurance to overcome harsh, long-term work tasks and goals.
ㅤ
Capricorn being the ruler of a malefic planet known as “Daddy Saturn”, this could go downhill very quickly Your desire to achieve because of a foundation of self-trust could easily turn into your desire to achieve based off the expectations society forces onto you and expects you to do. You are more susceptible to being a perfectionist and rising yourself up to unreachable standards, which can cause you great stress,anxiety,fear, and low self-esteem This will also make you feel like you have a burden on your shoulders; therefore, it is important to remind yourself of the things you’ve already accomplished as a normal human being, and to know that you do not need to be everything and a cherry on top to be amazing and honored—All in all, you are always enough, no matter where you are in your life. More emphasized if Saturn is strongly involved, you might have to deal with negative thinking ordepressionThat is why it is recommended for you to invest in self-encouragement and positivity, surround yourself around things that genuinely make you feel happy and doesn’t make you feel compelled, such as hobbies or simple relaxing like watching movies. The idea is to be easy on yourself and know when something is making you feel pressured and constrained. You could find that you could appear more cold,extremely reserved, and isolated, which can give others the impression that you do not want to be bothered, which can draw others away from you. Make sure that you do not become too controllingandrude to others
ㅤ
ㅤ
✩ aquarus rising ✩
Having an aquarius ascendant in your SR chart notifies you that you are going to appear more independent,individualistic, and connective this year Associating yourself with your groups and communities. There is an instinct to be uniqueandnonconforming, break out of your shell and do things your own way; think of your rebel side. You could notice that you are much more collaborativeandnetworking, such as being around friends more often. There is also a theme of reform as you might put emphasis your hopes and dreams in the year as well Since aquarius is the sign that is mostly connected to online so you might be on the internet or associate through the internet more than usual; this is especially the case if there are 11th house placements There is also the tendency of being more hopefulandthinking a lot about the future and what there is to come. This is usually the case with uranus in the 1st house as well, but it is possible that you might experiment with physical appearance by changing up your style. Similar to an SR aries and gemini ascendant, you can find that it is harder for you to settle down and stick to one thing When exuding literal aquarius energy, you are going to want to try new things and do things that excite you. If there are 11th house placements as well, you might be more of an advocate this year, such as partaking in activism,politics,protests, and becoming more socially aware and invested ⚛️
ㅤ
Although your sense of self-order is certainly a useful trait for this time around, you might have to be careful with being too independent to the point where you become an anarchist, not following authorities when needed to or becoming lawless You could expect abruptandunexpected situations and changes because of your unthoughtfulness of your consequences of ‘riding your own lane’ There is a tendency of becoming extremely disinterestedandcolder than usual; therefore, it is important that you do not become too objective to the point where you seem inconsiderate of others and their personal feelings. This coincides with making sure you are mindful of whether you are coming off as emotionally distantSince you are feeling the desire to stand out and non-conform, you might fall to feeling alienated which could you to sabotage yourself and what you stand for to fit in, although you are intended to follow your own distinctive, special path and embrace your personal truth in the upcoming year
ㅤ
✩ pisces rising ✩
Having a pisces ascendant in the SR chart indicates that you are going to appear more creative,dreamy, and mystical in the year You could be more spiritual than usual, partaking in activities such as tarot, astrology, meditation, drawing, and things surrounding the occult ♀️You could specifically seem much sensitive as well, whether that be in a psychic manner or emotionally, and appearing more in tune with spirits and the unseen. This could a good manifestation placement in the SR chart—it can make you a better manifester. This therefore can give you the ability of being more intuitive this time around. Since pisces rules the realm of fantasy, you could expect for your imagination to prosper You might be having more vivid dreams, or you could be in your head more often. You might appear more compassionateandkind to others as well, and you will feel more empatheticThis can make you feel the need to serve and help others and your loved ones. Pisces is the sign of inner reflection, so having this ascendant can call you to let go of things that does not serve you anymore; and this definitely the case if there are heavy 12th/8th house placements in the SR chart ♀️ You have the ability to see things for what they are now, and now it is in your hands to make sure you see all of it clearly and assess or reassess over it. Pisces rules the 12th house and the 12th house rules transitions, so depending on the rest of the SR chart and the house that neptune(ascendant ruler) is in, you could expect some type of shift in that area (For example: neptune in the 4th house; expect a transition in your home life and family dynamics) This is especially true if the sun is in the 12th house: You might be more introvertedorremote as well Your mental health could also be extremely important this year.
ㅤ
One huge issue that could manifest with having a pisces ascendant in the SR chart is being an escapist or becoming addictive If you find that you are trying to escape reality to a exceeding amount or to a detrimental degree, it might be time to reevaluate on what are potentially running away on and combat it head on and manifest it into your desired scenario since you are more in tune to the spirits and the universe Since your mental health could be vastly prominent this year, you might need to be more delicate with yourself and do things that make you feel happier, calm, and collected so you do not fall into bouts of depressionoranxietySince you are more sensitive and empathetic, therefore you could be more thoughtful and kindhearted to others, you might need to be careful to not be delusional about yours or others’ intentions and what they want from you You might be prone to being taken advantage of and confused more often this year.
