[Question: "What about Sun on the Ascendant?"]
That's considered a place for you to achieve personal prominence in the life of
some kind because the Sun represents your need to really give out your creative energy to
the world and get a response back. So you would tend to be more into showmanship
there, exuberant, creative, center stage, magnetic, charismatic. Sun is basically the egogoal
or basic ambitious drive to be on top. It involves children, offspring, romantic love,
etc. There are many different ways it can express in life. It can also be the overdrive
person: the Type A personality who is always racing against time, always under pressure.
"I've got to get to the top faster!" So it's essentially whatever we set up as our
personal ambitious drive to fulfill our ego needs.
[Response to a question about moving to a location where you attract Scorpio
types]
If you're running into Scorpio types who tend to be terribly clutchy and want to
be intensely swallowed up, that shows you are projecting that side of yourself (that need
for passionate closeness). So you're doing the run side of Freedom/Closeness and attract
those who play clutch. That's an indication that on the unconscious level there is the
desire for closeness that you're not satisfying. It'll just keep on repeating until you face
that part of yourself and allow it in small doses. And that is the secret of it: small doses,
and not swinging from one end of the pendulum to the other. So what you can do is find
someone who also is very involved in his own personal life, but wants a relationship now
and then. But the first step is being aware of that need in yourself which is being denied,
because it is when we're not aware of it that we project it and it keeps coming at us from
the world (consciously fighting it but unconsciously wanting it).
[Bill: "So if you go in an area where you have a lot of planets in the 1st house but
not right on the Ascendant, or a lot in the 10th house but not right on the Midheaven, this
shows that whatever you're going to work out is not that urgent?"]
It's still going to be there if you put a lot in any one area (any one sign or any one
house). It is still a danger of an overload. The more you put in one are, the more is the
danger of excess or overload. If you have such an overload, then know the principle it
represents and find a variety of ways to express that principle. For instance, an overload
in the 1st house: This is the principle of "I want what I want right now." You just have to
make sure that you have a fair amount of different activities that you can do and not put
all of that energy into just one thing. Or the 2nd house: If you just put all of that into
making money, you're probably going to get crazy with that. If you put all of that
into collecting possessions, then you'll go crazy with that. If you just put it all into
indulgent appetites, then you get excesses in some way (food, sex, etc.). So if you do a
little bit of each of these, spread it around, then it doesn't run any one form of expression
into the ground! The 1st house activity is the need for a lot of action, change, and variety
in the life, and you just have to keep a bunch of different things going on so you don't run
any one expression into extremes.
