Keep it Simple...

Hi,

The more astrology I do, the more important the simple things are. I will be doing a presentation in a few weeks, three weeks, about how the Ascendant influences ALL of our relationships.

We are pre-programmed to be our Ascendant, and to attract our Descendant! This presents lots of problems in relationships, even for those few relationships in which the two Ascendants are the natural compliments of each other.

Consider one famous couple, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. He has a Sagittarius Ascendant. He naturally is a teacher, and explorer, a comic. He gravitates toward the Gemini rising, witty flirtatious type.

Angelina has Cancer rising. Her maternal and family instincts are strong. Parenting and family are priorities. Her natural compliment is Capricorn, the serious, responsible type.

So, even though we know they have a lot of chemistry as a couple, we also know that there is some dissonance, in that each is trying to force the other into a mold. Brad wants Angelina to lighten up. She wants him to be serious.

What message does your Ascendant send?
