Moon Rising often accentuates the signʼs qualities in some way, and it is
thought the individual may be very involved with the public. The position
can lend empathy and the ability to nurture and please others. The
person may approach others wanting to care and protect, and there is
usually a responsive and adaptable approach to life. With the Moon
hanging heavily over their life they may have had a strong female
presence growing up, and the mother may be a very influential figure.
These people are also sensitive and receptive to everything in their
environment, have a vivid imagination and are intuitive. Vocational
astrologers often list these people as being attracted to caring
professions, gardening, and working with the public.
Mars Rising tends to be assertive and likes to initiate plans and ideas,
and they may also be highly competitive and challenging. Astrologer Sue
Tompkins notes these people as having a vague feeling that conflict is
about to break out at any minute, and that sometimes the person is born
into a competitive environment or raised in an early atmosphere of
conflict. Depending on sign and aspects these people tend to have a go-
getting approach, and when Mars is sitting right on the Ascendant this
can sometimes represent early births.
Uranus Rising often makes the native very original or even eccentric,
and sometimes very sudden in their movements. The individual may have
some unique and unusual ways. They are usually drawn to groups and
organisations where they can express their ideas and progressive
natures. Sue Tompkins believes these people may look and be different
in some way compared to others, and she lists them as being quite tall in
height. They may experience some very sudden shifts and changes in
their life. Uranus on the Ascendant is sometimes associated with an
unusual birth, or some kind of shocking event happening ‘out of the blueʼ
at the time of their arrival or even in early childhood. The early
environment may have pegged them out as different in some way or even
outstanding.
The birth stories for a powerful Neptune Rising are quite interesting and
some involve the heavy use of anaesthetic, but sometimes there is a
flood, or a highly sensitive and emotionally un-stabling event happening
in the environment at the time of birth/early childhood. Maybe the heavy
use of drugs in the environment may have been a problem. The
astrological associations for early events are endless and the individual
will best describe what sort of “Neptunian” experience was felt early on
and it may be less dramatic than the above examples.
The planet Pluto resents stagnation in life, so these people are always
forced to change in some way. Often these individuals are exposed to the
darker sides of life earlier than usual, like abuse, family secrets, early
trauma, but this also makes them highly sensitive to danger and
extremely self-protective. Sue Tompkins likens these people to wearing
sunglasses, so they always keep a part of themselves hidden from view,
but she also notes that this need to hide can be crippling to their sense
of personal identity. Sue Tompkins also links Pluto to the personal
grandmother and noted that she may have a powerful and even
domineering role in the individualʼs life.
