IQ said: [I have a soft corner for Aries Ascendants and all 1977 borns. The 1977 borns with Aries Ascendant who have South Node Aries, we have the most difficult life path where success is virtually impossible until rigorous trials are passed. This is not just my analysis but also the analysis of Mystic-Psychic 'Atlantis Recalling' Astrologer Karen Dess of Australia, one my "initiators" in Astrology.]

IQ,
Why is it the most difficult? because your exhibiting Aries Asc traits when your supposed to stop relying on the Aries SN? I've read in a book before, that Aries Asc is supposed to be a karmic reward & makes life easier cuz all the houses are in sync with the signs...from your experiences you dont think so? The definition of success is different for everyone. I'd say your pretty successful as you've found a soulmate wife & established a good family pretty early on.

I think you are referring the response that IQ gave to my chart.

I have no credit to take here. I am just a seeker just as you are

I am not sure how many Aries Ascendants (BTW I am Virgo by Sun, and Aries by Moon) can relate to this but here are some traits I strongly have:

1)Brutal Honesty:

Unfortunately I cannot sensor my thoughts that easily. This is especially dangerous in ones career. I say as I feel. This may sound as a cliche` virtue, but it far from the truth. I cannot hide my feelings; no matter whether they are good or bad; sensitive or insenstive. God help me!!

2)Hasty Vs Procrastinating Actions:

Either I make decisions at the speed of light, or I postpone things by not taking any action. There is nothing moderate in between. It drives me mad.

3)Always looking for perfection in relationships:

I don't make friends just for the sake of it. I don't end up in relationship just because I happen to be single, or because it is a norm. This is why I have handful friends ( or, do I?) and I have been only into two intense relationships till date even though I am 32.

4) Why can't I be like the rest?

I don't like getting married; I have no intentions to have kids, ever; It does not matter to me even if I cannot live with my partner as long as we genuinely love each other; I love my freedom and expect nothing less for my partner; This does not mean I support swingers I believe in love in its truest forms. This goes to show, I will remain this way as a single, for rest of my life.

ALAS!!

But when the South Node is Aries, then we are asked to suppress what we do best [Go it alone and win] for the sake of teamwork and cooperation. The reason is this combination is largely of Samurai type warrior souls. We marched hungry, slept on dirt and would rather die than complain. And we looked down on whiners. We never tried to feel what others felt.

What about 1977?
Chiron was discovered in 1977, the wounded healer, the occult teacher.

The 1977 born Aries-Asc Aries South Noders were the ultimate warriors. We used occult techniques in warfare. Many of us were directly responsible for the Atlantis Mess.

The past life mistakes make this batch far more conflicted in the inside. We want to achieve more in this super hi-tech age yet our Karmic destiny is to be more spiritual for the sake of others [Libra North Node].
Our 'spiritual wound' of wounding others in the past as warriors will heal only if we heal the wounds of others in the present.
Past life Sword Warrior to Present day Light "Worker" and then Spiritual Warrior of the future.

Somehow I have this urge to heal him in my own little ways from his present life wounds (he loved someone very deeply only to realize that she was never interested in him).

You are absolutely right with that comment about South Node Aries people, as they are always forced to suppress their true personalities

That is 100% accurate. I find this problem all the time at workplace. Because everytime when I say something truthfully and honestly, people find it rather bold or naive or stupid on my part to be that open about my feelings or thoughts. They rather have no issues with sugar-coated comments. I get really frustrated in such environments; so much so that I have quit three different jobs just to retain my integrity.

ASC shows a very important part of yourself, of your identity. If you have Aries ASC, then part of your identity is ARIES.

Now with SN in Aries and NN in Libra, the direction of one`s lifepath is to Libra, learning to be more LIBRA, that means one has to "leave" the comfort zone of the SN in Aries (comfort zone because it is familiar ground), BUT at the same time for an Aries ASC it is also one of the most dominant parts of the personality, so it can`t be really left behind.
That means that you have to find a way to solve the tension between the Aries traits, you already have and are familiar to you, and the Libra traits that need to be developed.

I don't know if I technically qualify -- though I sure can relate to being brutally honest. Also when it comes to making decisions, I'm the same way. Either snap (very instinctual) or, pain stakingly forevverrr!!

Astrobelle, it will be very difficult for you to master the Libra NN, being a double Aries.
The Sun is definitely conjunct Chiron and will actually be a blessing in disguise. You can identify with other's wounds, and use this identification to learn cooperation for healing and education. Chiron was the teacher of the gods [Pierce Brosnan does a great job of portraying Chiron in the recent Percy Jackson flick.]

Yes, I thought it must be really difficult.

"it will be very difficult for you to master the Libra NN, being a double Aries."

Boy is that true. I've always been drawn to Libras -- always hoping some of their magic and grace might rub off on me.

"The Sun is definitely conjunct Chiron and will actually be a blessing in disguise. You can identify with other's wounds, and use this identification to learn cooperation for healing and education.

Good to know! That explains some things... LOL...though I think sometimes people have a hard time with a bossy Aries' "feeling" And being up in their face and wounds. Probably would be easier if I was a water sun or moon. On the positive, even though it can be awkward at times, it's so beautiful to connect with people and truly understand where they are coming from. And if I can effect them in any positive way -- I'm a happy camper.

...I will have to check out and watch that movie! I've always enjoyed Pierce B!

"Aquarius Ascendant will help you understand the frequency of all that is not orthodox. In these times of change, it can only be a blessing."

I agree. I really enjoy having an Aqua Asc. Since I was a little girl, I always felt different and a little "off"...I attribute it to the part of my consciousness that taps me on the shoulder to look for the greater good in man and the truth in the universe -- that, and LOVE astrology!!!

IQ, if I wished to consult you with some other personal questions regarding my chart, what is the best way to get in touch without taking up forum space?

posted February 24, 2010 05:55 PM            

I'm asking because, the guy who's chart I posted up...he exhibits all the negative Aries traits x100. However he also leads a ridiculously charmed life x100 too.

until very recently, this brutal honesty thing was really THE character i trophied. i believed in it. i never understood other people who could not be like that, and be offended and hurt by me. now my current partner has taught me the art of subtlety and the importance of it.

but that aside, it is really fair to say that my life has been the struggle after struggle to break out of the repression and the pressure to conform. and i am NOT a rebel, i don't aspire to be eccentric and different. i'd be happy to "belong" and be "just like the others". it's in my blood, i'm just a "freak" (so i used to believe. it's just individuality).
