Sign Combinations: Interpretations
In this section, Cafe Astrology explores the interpretation and meanings of sign combinations.
For example, a person with the Sun in Aries whose Ascendant is Taurus will present differently than someone whose Sun is also in Aries but who has a Leo Ascendant.
These two people will share many similar traits due to their shared Sun sign. However, the rising sign (or Ascendant) will modify and filter the characteristics that a person projects to the world.
Not only that, different rising signs usually mean different house positions of the Sun and the other planets. A person with the Sun in Aries in the the ninth house expresses themselves differently than an Aries Sun person whose Sun is in the twelfth house.
Here, we explore the nuances and common traits of Sun-Ascendant sign combinations.
Keep in mind that the Ascendant sign is often used interchangeably with the Rising sign.
