Hi Guys,

I don't know very much about charts and I am really interested in getting the scoop on my Leo boyfriend of 1.5 years:

DOB - 8/16/1981
TOB - 5:23pm
POB - Miami, Florida

Would someone be willing to do a chart AND answer the following questions:

What does RISING SIGN mean? (His is 12 degrees Capricorn)
What does SUN SIGN mean? (His is 23 degrees in Leo)
What does MOON SIGN mean? (His is 08 degrees in Pisces)

Although I just wrote all of the above I am not certain what it means...

I am a Libra but unable to do an accurate chart because my birth time is unknown (but I will know it soon). I plugged in 12:00pm for my TOB and came away with:

RISING SIGN is in 20 degrees Sagittarius
SUN SIGN is in 19 degrees Libra
MOON SIGN is in 17 degrees Sagittarius

Please explain the different houses, degrees into another sign, etc. I 'think' I know what it means but would like input from someone who 'knows' what this stuff means.

TIA

Bookmark it - I find it quite invaluable 🙂

Sun Sign - this is what you are, your sign. But since astrology is way more than just Sun Signs (otherwise, all Libras would be the same, all Pisces the same, etc) the rest of the planetary placements are even MORE important, IMHO.

Rising/Ascendant - This is how others see you, how you appear to the world. This is your "outer self" which often makes one different than people would expect. How many times have you heard, "Well, she certainly doesn't seem very Virgo to me." or even, "Never met another Sagittarius quite like him." That's their Rising Sign. (Which is why birth PLACE and TIME is very important! Without it, you can't accurately pinpoint anyone's Rising Sign.)

Moon Sign - This is your deepest self, sometimes YOU don't even realize some of these things about yourself. This is your "inner self" your fears, vulnerabilities, challenges, what makes you tick, way deep down.

Even more planetary placements (like Venus, Mercury, Mars, etc) give depth and breadth to a person's personality, as you'll see from your chart results. And after you get yourself immersed in this... maybe get your Synastry checked (Google it, if you must) -- that will tell you how your overall placements (ALL of them) match with his. I've lost my bookmark to my good one, alas. I'll keep looking for it, though.

Thanks, Nefer.

I'm going to visit that site you recommended...

I guess I have to do a bunch of research because although I could get the chart for my b/f I don't have a clue what all the stuff means -

planets and their relevance
degrees into other signs
etc.

soooooooooo much stuff to learn!

PS - it's so weird to see Capricorn and Pisces in his chart as those are two signs that I didn't think I was compatible with - I do love him to pieces though.

Without knowing his astrological tendancies I've come to observe the following traits in him -

Doesn't communicate very well (but is extremely expressive/demonstrative....go figure)
Cloyingly affectionate (I shouldn't complain b/c I ACTUALLY asked God to send me someone affectionate)
Hot tempered
Prideful
Egotistical
Extremely defensive
Extremely sensitive
Very Generous
High sex drive
Imaginitive
Sweet as peach-pie
Dresses very well
Impatient
Lazy, Lazy, Lazy
Messy & disorganized
Funny
Easy to shed tears
His body temperature is past warm - it's very hot
Responsible to some degree
Loves power
Arrogant
Changeable
Needs contant reassurance (especially in the beginning)
Mama's boy
Loves attention
Very emotional
Talented

Oh, I forgot to add -

a tad bit vindictive although he denies it. There were a couple of times when we broke up he purposefully said some hurtful things to me- I guess he figured I was out the door anyway and lashed out.

One thing about it though - because I loved him , even in the face of breaking up, I always held my peace. I understand anger and all but to hurt someone just for the sake of hurting someone made me see red and I got into the gutter with him and let him feel it. I know that I hit him where it hurts b/c I never unleashed on him that way before. Also, he has been more reserved/careful but still tries to throw little blows when we call ourselves breaking up although nothing like before. So, I'm inclined to believe he is either vindictive or childish....or both?

There are other times where is changeable - saying he wants soemthing and when presented with it - pulling away (only to come back again). Oh, boy!

Rising Sign is in 12 Degrees Capricorn
You are practical and reserved but very ambitious. An achiever and a hard worker, you respect success. Older looking and very serious as a youth, things lighten up and you relax more as you mature. You have a serious view of the world as being a difficult place to be in. Very envious of those who seem to have an easier life than you have, relaxation and play do not come easily. It is important that you had abundant parental support as a child so that you do not feel lonely and isolated as an adult. Generally, you have a good, earthy sense of humor that can carry you through when times really do get tough. You are purposeful, self-willed, industrious, realistic and responsible.

Sun is in 23 Degrees Leo.
More than a bit of a showoff, you love to be the center of attention! But others do not usually mind because they tend to enjoy your genuine warmth and affection. Very spirited and willful, proud and self-important at times, you demand your own way. You are quite honest, however, and the respect of others is very important to you. You never compromise yourself and you pursue your goals with persistence and dedication. Your regal presence and demeanor draws you to positions of leadership and authority. But beware of being overly hardheaded, domineering, ostentatious or patronizing or you will lose the goodwill and admiration that you enjoy. Very theatrical, you live life on a grand scale wherever and whenever possible. Your strength and energy vitalizes those who come in contact with you.

Moon is in 08 Degrees Pisces.
You have strong feelings and are extremely sensitive. It would help if you had a thicker skin -- you tend to react emotionally to every situation you come across. Kind, gentle and considerate of the feelings of others, you are good at taking care of the sick, wounded and helpless. But you tend to absorb the energy of others -- so avoid those who are always negative. You have a rich, creative and lively imagination, but you should be careful not to spend all your time daydreaming. Very intuitive, you have good ESP and may be quite clairvoyant or psychic. Remember that you too have the right to get what you want from life. If you are always defensive and kowtowing to others, people will take advantage of you and exploit you.

Mercury is in 00 Degrees Virgo.
Very thorough and efficient, you pay attention to the minor but important details of any project. You are a careful thinker who can lea

learn complicated, intricate techniques. You are attracted to practical, useful skills and are probably good at working with your hands. You are very critical of yourself and others, sometimes too much so, and you get the reputation of being a nag or of being nit-picky. Your first reaction to any situation is to try to organize, classify and analyze everything!

Venus is in 27 Degrees Virgo.
You express your love and affection through selfless service to people or causes. You have a tendency to underestimate yourself and doubt your self-worth. This is very demeaning and should be avoided -- learn to love yourself as well as you do others. Your standards of perfection are very high -- you are attracted to relationships based on duty and responsibility. You are supercritical of yourself and others and, at times, prefer to be alone rather than deal with any imperfections in yourself or in those with whom you might relate.

Mars is in 19 Degrees Cancer.
Your moods are very important to your overall well-being. You are confident and self-assertive when you are feeling upbeat, and you are retiring, irritable and grumpy when you get depressed about anything. Very sensitive, you wear your heart on your sleeve. You are easily angered whenever you think someone has slighted you. It is best for you to show your anger immediately and let it all out, rather than to try to hold it in or to hold grudges for a long time. You're extremely loyal and defensive of your family, neighborhood, community and culture.

Jupiter is in 08 Degrees Libra.
You are generally good at balancing opinions and judging issues, but you tend to be indecisive when it comes to making up your own mind. You are objective and quite concerned with fair play and justice. But, when it comes to yourself, you are so aware that whatever you do might upset the apple cart that you often choose to compromise rather than do anything that might make you lonely or vulnerable. Relationships are very important to you -- you learn about yourself and grow through observing yourself interacting with others. Your aesthetic tastes are refined, but expansive and expensive.

Saturn is in 07 Degrees Libra.
Although you take quite a while to make decisions, you usually consider all sides to a question, all the pros and cons, and the solution you come up with is very often the correct one. You tend to be very reserved and shy, but, once you make a commitment to someone (in either a business or personal relationship), the partnership is forever. You have a strong sense of justice and fair play and greatly respect the laws and institutions by which you are governed. As such, you are outraged when others break laws or show contempt for authority.

Uranus is in 26 Degrees Scorpio.
You, and your peer group, demand to confront life at its deepest and most meaningful levels. Very compulsive and obsessive in your approach to everything, you will avoid anything that is casual or superficial, especially when it comes to relationships. You will seek out and explore new methods of healing as well as different ways to deal with deep-seated emotional problems.

Neptune is in 22 Degrees Sagittarius.
You, and your entire generation, are heavily involved in investigating and idealizing foreign and exotic intellectual systems and religious philosophies. The most extreme ideals will be pursued with gusto. You will be at the forefront of humanitarian attempts to improve the lot of those who are in need of assistance. You will be comfortable with the concept of the "global village."

Pluto is in 22 Degrees Libra.
For your entire generation, this is a time of radical changes in society's attitude toward marriage and interpersonal relationships. There is a general fear and awe at the power inherent in making emotional or contractual commitments -- they will not be entered into lightly.

N. Node is in 01 Degrees Leo.
You prefer to take the leadership role when it comes to dealing with others. You enjoy administering and organizing group activities. Others tend to listen to your suggestions because you aren't usually overly domineering or patronizing in your interactions. You love to entertain in a big way -- you're at your best when throwing a large and lavish party. Your popularity and social success are assured as long as you don't take others for granted -- resist the temptation to become snobbish and arrogant.
