ALMUTEMAscendant Conjunction Moon
Ascendant represents your body, your make-up and how you present yourself and begin things; Moon, your emotions, your instincts and what makes you feel safe.
The Moon upon the Ascendant makes the native sensitive and changeable: a welcoming, receptive, popular bearing, moods read in the face, and a body that feels the tides of the temper. A sure instinct for the surroundings; the reverse is inconstancy and impressionability.
The Moon rising over the horizon makes it one of the strongest signifiers of body and temperament. As the luminary of the night, in a night chart it is in its own sect and sensitivity becomes a gift; in a day chart, mood weighs more. In Cancer or Taurus the Moon gives health and serenity; in Capricorn or Scorpio the same sensitivity closes up and guards itself. It shows in people whose face changes with the weather and the company, and who sense a room before anyone speaks.
