The moon placement is linked to our emotions overall...and can be used to identify how or why we act/react emotionally to various stimuli. To me, the ascendant is very helpful to understand/innerstand those close to us and ourselves. All this takes tremendous honesty, and i find that most people havent really thought about themselves in deeply personal ways and or honestly enuff to get to the center of their being and make sense of it. Some people just dont like themselves...usually due to treatment by others. Healing takes supreme honesty and a willingness to admit weakness and recognize strengths. U have to seriously think about urself and ur behavior as it relates to EVERYTHING! I am Gemini with Leo rising and Capricorn moon. It has served me well to be honest with myself! Two cents. Cool post Mandy!...U rock!🤍🏁🤍
