Anyone else have an Ascendant cusp?

This topic was created in the Astrology forum by chemengin on Thursday, March 22, 2012 and has 14 replies.
i've gotten my chart done why 2 different professionals, one said my ascendant is Scorpio the other said it was Sagittarius.
whenever i go to different websites they have either the Sag or Scorp. so im assuming my ascendant is a cusp of scorpio/sagittarius.
anyone ever heard of this?
i have checked and recheck my time of birth, the time zone, lat./long, still the same thing.
My mother insisted that my birth time was exact and according to that time my ascendant is Sagittarius 0 28: I certainly am a "Sagittarius rising" type! In a way I am pleased that I am although being a Virgo with Sag rising is a very stressful combo especially with Saturn (in Sag) in the first house!
The moment the soul actually comes down to incarnate is subject of serious debate in astrology. Yes the time of birth can be noted correctly and even then there are those who will say that a soul can come down into the physical body (Ascendant) even 10-15 minutes before, or up to a couple of minutes after the birth. You know those kids who need help to start breathing?
Ultimately no astrologer can know your chart so well as to correct it impeccably. A perfect chart rectification is done based on major life events. When you're young, that doesn't really help, does it?
What you can do is check some medical astrology books, look at yourself, see what you resemble more. A Scorpio asc will typically have less hair or will lose some later on in life because the Scorp equates to the shiny snake. Do you have the pierceful eyes? Can you give a Scorpio "stare"? Lol and so on. For the Sagi ascendant, do you have strong thighs? If you're a woman, do you tend to do something to your hair (combing up, hair jewelry, etc) so that it looks royal, out of ordinary? (Sag's desire to get up there socially) Have your hurt your knees, or legs? What kind of ailments did you have?
Rather than calculating orbs, just observe yourself, astrology translates to reality you know

thank you! i will pick up a book today.
Yep my ascendant is on the cusp of Aries and Taurus. At 28.44?? in Aries.
Hey kinda random question but since this about the favorites and who I guess are the best o nhere at astrology, some sites say I'm a Scorpio rising some say I'm libra rising so from this picture in his link what should y'all say and I'm 6'3 and slim in the pic

From that partial picture I'd lean towards Libra rising more than Scorp. Looks nicely groomed in a non-agressive way
Still, establishing a proper rising isn't done after looks; the physical appearance is an extra. The main technique has to do with life events, but then again you're young. There's also the medical astrology part: does your back give any issues? Kidneys? You will know yourself best.
Well I haven't had any kidney problems or back problems Byron still young and that's what I think too because I'm very non aggressive, never come off as mean or dark dreary And I'm very socially outgoing .... Plus I'm tall and athletic, I read that Scorpio risings are usually average to below average in height And stocky, . Like I'm 6'3 but my vbrothers is Scorpio and he's 5'8
You'll find a fairly good description in Starsky's Sextrology (ended up buying it since no free internet copies)
Very good book.
thank you reconstructing_a_leo. i'm sag rising. smile
I gave my chart to professionals one said that my ascendant is Aries and the other it was scorpio. After looking at different sites over net I could find http://bit.ly/HdXfCt . Anyone else here have same thing like this?
I'm an Aquarius sun and moon and my rising is in the Libra/Scorpio cusp.
Gemini 0.09
Taurus influences me I suppose.
