ALMUTEMAscendant Conjunction Venus
Ascendant represents your body, your make-up and how you present yourself and begin things; Venus, what you love, what gives you pleasure and the things you value.
Venus upon the Ascendant sweetens the native: a graceful, pleasing bearing, an affable and sociable temperament, and a natural charm that draws liking and affection. A taste for beauty and good living; the reverse is vanity and indolence.
Venus rising over the horizon is one of the classical signs of beauty or, at least, of charm in manner. Being the lesser benefic and a planet of the night, in a night chart it is in its own sect and grace comes more freely; in a day chart, more restrained and cultivated. In Taurus, Libra or Pisces the sweetness has roots; in Scorpio, Aries or Virgo it exists, but mixes with demand. It shows in someone who dissolves tension simply by being present and has refined taste in what they wear and where they live.
