Question
QUESTION: Thank you in advance for taking time to answer my question.
Different charts give me  different ascendant. Cancer 29 or Leo 0
I was born in Lima PERU Sept 27t 1956 at 2:10 am so being a Libra would a
Cancer ascendant present a conflict with my sun

ANSWER: Hi Jana,

Your Ascendant is 29 49' Cancer, according to my calculations.

Therefore, by degree, your Sun is sextile your Ascendant through an out of sign sextile.

By sign, however, you could say your Sun is square your Asc. I'd consider both (the sextile and square), but I wouldn't worry too much about your Sun squaring your Asc., as there are much worse afflictions.

QUESTION: Having my sun sign Libra and ascendant Cancer and being both signs
cardinals ....would that be so bad?

Answer
Jana,

No, that's not bad at all, having Libra Sun and Cancer Ascendant, both Cardinal. Consider Cardinal energy to be forward moving, assertive, etc. Fixed is inward turning, and Mutable is a combination of both.

If you consider your Sun, Moon, Moon's North Node, and planets Mercury through Pluto, plus Ascendant and Midheaven (13 indications all together), you have 3 Cardinal Air, 2 Cardinal Water, 3 Fixed Fire, 1 Fixed Earth, 1 Fixed Water, 1 Mutable Fire, 1 Mutable Earth, and 1 Mutable Water. Overall, an emphasis on Cardinal and Fixed, with 5 each. You have 4 each that are Fire and Water too. Earth and Mutable are least represented, but overall a decent balance.

Please let me know if you would like additional clarity.

Sincerely,
Scott Petullo

Expertise

Please note: I DON'T DO PERSONAL READINGS HERE. That means if you ask for a free reading, your question will be rejected.

I'm happy to answer general astrology questions, such as identifying a particular Moon sign or Sun sign that happens to be on the cusp, or identifying an Ascendant (Rising sign) or a ruler (or rulers) of a particular house, etc.

As an example, you might ask, "My 7th house (house of partnerships, relationships, etc.) cusp sign is Virgo, so which planet rules the house considering I have no planets in that house?"

Or, you might ask, for instance, "My natal Sun is on the cusp, in which sign is it?"


Again, I WON'T DO PERSONAL READINGS HERE. Also, if your question relates to modern, psychological astrology, I won't answer it since the bulk of my predictive work is done using more ancient forms (I find them far more accurate). I won't answer questions about Chinese astrology or Vedic/Hindu astrology either.

My expertise involves the application of ancient forms of astrology (and numerology) to interpret personal fate, and assess personality and compatibility. http://www.scottpetullo.com http://www.mystictwins.com
