VERY WELL EXPLAINED SIR...THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR TREASURE
ReplyDeleteThanks varun for your continued support.
DeleteI am born at 5 degrees Virgo with my ascendant, and I've heard this is a double ascendant? Because I associate strongly with Leo ascendant as I'm very proud and egotistical. My sun sign is Scorpio, which makes it even worse... However, I see the Virgo because my mind doesn't stop thinking at all, always processing.
ReplyDeleteIf it is 5 degrees Virgo, then only Virgo is your ascendant and there shouldn't be a Leo influence until the ascendant is very close to Leo like 1 degree Virgo. 5 degrees means Virgo has already risen 20 minutes before so you are pretty much into it. Double Virgo means you have your Sun or Moon in Virgo too. If that is the case, it makes you more thoroughly Virgo than people with Virgo just as the ascendant and different sun/moon signs. Thus you would be more critical of yourself and others when compared to other Virgo ascendants. Sun in Scorpio does give arrogance and forcefulness. Ofcourse house placements of planets and other effects on the ascendant make a great deal of how you come across overall as a personality. Ascendant and Sun-sign show only the broader picture.
DeleteThanks for the reply. Yes. I have Virgo moon as well. I find astrology incredibly fascinating.
DeleteMy moon however is at 1 degree Virgo. My grandfather, who everyone in my family says I most resemble, is a Virgo/ LEO moon. I find that incredible.
DeleteYeah. In Vedic astrology, Jupiter denotes the grandfather,so in your chart Jupiter must be having some connection with your ascendant/1st house or ascendant lord accounting for the resemblance.
