Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into synastry lately, you know, that astrological compatibility stuff. And the “ascendant conjunct Sun” aspect? Whew, it’s been a real eye-opener. I wanted to see if this whole astrology thing actually reflected in real life, so I started with my own relationships.
First, I pulled up my own chart and the charts of some people I’m close to – my partner, my best friend, and a family member I’ve always felt a super strong connection with. I use this free online chart calculator, it’s pretty simple.
Digging into the Charts
I focused on the ascendant (that’s the rising sign, the one on the eastern horizon at the time of birth) and the Sun (which is, well, your basic zodiac sign). The goal was to see if any of these charts had the Sun and ascendant close together, within, say, a 10-degree orb. That’s what “conjunct” means – they’re basically hanging out in the same spot in the sky.
Turns out, my best friend’s Sun is exactly conjunct my ascendant! Like, to the degree. I was pretty blown away, to be honest. We’ve always had this instant, almost telepathic connection. It’s like we just get each other without even trying.
- My Best Friend: Her Sun sign is Leo, and my ascendant is also in Leo. Boom.
- My Partner: No conjunction here. His Sun is in a different sign altogether, and it’s not aspecting my ascendant.
- My Family Member: Their Sun is in the same sign after my ascendant and is close, which makes it a conjunction!
Making Sense of It All
So, what does this all mean? From what I’ve been reading, an ascendant conjunct Sun synastry suggests a really powerful initial attraction. It’s like the other person embodies qualities that you admire or aspire to. They just shine in your eyes! It’s not necessarily romantic, though it definitely can be. It’s more about a deep resonance and understanding.
With my best friend, it totally makes sense. We clicked instantly, and we’ve always supported each other’s growth. I think it’s not about a surface-level attraction. It is that her sunny, outgoing Leo energy complements and inspires me, and that she has a fundamental understanding of my personality, all presented in my rising sign Leo energy.
Also, my family member, we can feel that deep bonding, we can talk to each other, support each other and we just understand our mind, it just make sense!
It’s been a fascinating experiment. I’m definitely going to keep exploring synastry. It’s like having a secret decoder ring for relationships! This ascendant-Sun thing is just the tip of the iceberg. But yeah, I have more confidence now!
