Okay, so I’ve been messing around with this whole astrology thing lately, and today I decided to really dive into what it means to be an Aries Sun with a Cancer Ascendant. Sounds fancy, right? Well, let me tell you, it’s been a bit of a wild ride figuring this out.
First off, I started by looking up what each of these things even means. I went to all those free astrology sites and started reading. They said that the Sun sign is like your core personality, and the Ascendant is the vibe you give off to people when they first meet you.
So, Aries Sun, that’s supposed to be all fiery and impulsive, right? Like, “I want to do this NOW” kind of energy. And Cancer Ascendant? That’s supposed to be more sensitive and emotional, like a big softie underneath. I started jotting down notes on my phone, trying to make sense of how these two things could work together.
Next, I decided I should probably get my birth chart done. I mean, everyone talks about them, so I figured, why not? I entered all my info: born in Chicago, at 2 AM on April 10th. I was trying to remember which hospital my mom said I was born in. Finally, I got the chart, it’s filled with all these symbols and lines. I felt like I was trying to read some ancient map.
Observations
- Feeling Like a Walking Contradiction: I started noticing how often I feel like I’m pulled in two different directions. Like, one minute I’m ready to jump into some crazy new project, and the next I’m hiding under my blanket, feeling all the feelings.
- People’s First Impressions: I paid attention to how people react to me when we first meet. I started asking around and most of my friends were saying that I come off as kind of shy and quiet at first, which is definitely not how I see myself on the inside.
- Journaling Like Crazy: I kept a journal for the whole day, writing down my moods and how I reacted to things. It was kind of messy, to be honest. One entry I’m super pumped about starting a new workout routine, and the next I’m writing a whole page about how much I miss my grandma’s cooking.
After all this, I kind of see how these two sides of me, the Aries and the Cancer, play out in my life. It’s like I’ve got this inner fire that wants to go, go, go, but then there’s this soft, sensitive part of me that needs to feel safe and secure. I think figuring out how to balance these two is going to be a lifelong thing. It’s a bit exhausting, but also kind of cool, you know? Like I’ve got these different layers that make me who I am.
So, yeah, that’s my deep dive into being an Aries Sun with a Cancer Ascendant. It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster, but I’m starting to get a better handle on it. I’m still not sure what I totally believe about astrology, but it’s definitely given me a lot to think about.
