MOON CONJUNCT THE ASCENDANT (RISING SIGN)

A conjunction or conjunct symbol is an aspect that emphasizes and brings together the energies of the planets involved. Conjunctions focus and intensify the energy much like a laser beam on an exact point in your chart. These planets have their own uniqueness and when tag-teamed their energy is intensified even more.

It is important to understand that the Moon rules the home and the family. It also rules the emotions, feelings, sensitivities and moods, while the Ascendant (Rising Sign) rules the personality, how one responds to the world and how one appears to others, including how the individual looks (as in appearance). This conjunction means that the emotions are a prominent part of the individual's personality.

The Moon is associated with memories, the home and family; therefore, the individual's personality is strongly associated with their childhood experiences and probably more closely associated with the mother.

This is a very feminine placement and when it shows up in a man's chart, it would bring out a more feminine nature and appearance. This aspect shows a very feminine woman or a man who is in touch with his feminine side. The mother may be a major influence in the individual's life.
