Rising Sign

You can tell a lot about rising signs by where they place the various signs.

For example, for Sag rising, Cancer falls in the 8th. To me this means that the things they fear have a tendency to do with tenderness, caring, nurturing, etc. This tells me something about their character possibilities. It's vague and general, but it's a start. Similarly they hold Leo in regal esteem.

I find it odd that Gemini risers have some unclear feelings about what is religion, and what is irreligious, being as they let the same planet rule both houses.

And what's up with Pisces, letting one planet rule gain and loss?

So in this way, you can examine how a lagna operates by it's esteem for the various players in the royal court.

How Aries Dignifies the Gods:

Mars rules lagna and 8th: Holds self as synonymous with longevity. This is good for longevity's sake. The other issues of the 8th also get bonded to Aries lagna. Hence, they make good warriors, emergency persons, adapt and at home with disaster, hidden things, scary situations, very gutsy inherently.

Venus is 2nd and 7th lord, two houses involved in relationships, so we can see they like to color the partners pretty and pleasure providing. They want this to feel good- sort of puts a "typical" externalities to their conceptions of relationships, they may be looking for beauty first.

Mercury rules the 3rd and 6th: Well Budha was not assigned to be very respected here. He has been put in challenging positions. Mars must take Mercury as a young soldier because he puts him in charge of the 3rd, discomforts, courage, gain of letters, and also the 6th - service, enemies, debts. So Mercury doesn't get to play with anything fun, it's all serious - so witty humor floating above it all carefree is not likely here.

Cancer in the 4th, hence Moon is given some dignity. We would expect this from actually homey Mars. Mars is a fine young man, who's main interest is to serve Ma, Pa, family, country, people. Cancer in the 4th means he expects to be well taken care of when he's at home, and a caring home is where his heart is.

Leo in 5: Aries respects strength. The 5th house is what we worship and like to recreate with. It's an extension of ourselves,  it's our next octave- the child we issue forth- it's a reflection of our direction or intellect.

Virgo in the 6th: As coquettish Kanya can do, is not something that is comfortable to this straight shooting soldier. Competing based on detailed learning is something can bother an Aries person. Obviously that's not the battle ground they feel comfortable on, rather, that domain, virtually owned by Virgo, is obviously the abode of the enemies of Aries lagna.

Libra in the 7th: Obviously, Aries is naturally drawn to the equivocal girl in the marketplace by the road, or to that balanced man, who does a good trade out in public. This is not a super intellectual reflection, and goes along with the other childish attributes of this rising sign.

Scorpio in the 8th: Well, here again we find immaturity- doubling up Scorpio, potent in the fields of fear, danger, the unknown and the enigmatic, and the 8th house- known for the same things practically, in one lump, as if they want to show just how much they like this kind of thing, it's like an espresso drinker amongst tea drinkers. Again, a reflection of the somewhat youthful and not yet mature nature of this rising sign.

Dhanus in the 9th: Again an extreme. We put a highly courageous and outgoing sign in a house which is potent by itself, and you have the perfect alignment for the crusader of any and all types. This shows that Aries rising likes it's religion active, passionate, desireful, outgoing, with a goal, an axe to grind, striving ever higher.

Makara Karma: They are obviously prepared to work hard. What more can be said? But note, the Lagna Lord has placed himself in exaltation when in the 10th house, doing what, fighting the jungle on behalf of the Guru, the 9th lord, who finds debility here. This shows that this lagna practically exists to "fight the good fight". This is their calling. They exist to be warriors, to fight to win, to fight to the death, for the sake of the religious crusade. Note: Robert Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., Me :-)

Kumbha Labha: What is Aries desiring and what kind of friends does he like? Look to your nearest fixed air sign. This shows that the interest of Aries lies in mental things (air sign) which are fixed (not changing) and ruled by solidity, antiquity, related to the bitter truth, and scientific hence, practical to the extreme - TRUTH! But as per the indications of Virgo in the 6th, don't make it anal, keep it malefic and real they feel.

Meen Losses: Losses are mean, and in this case ruled by Meena, the fishes of oneness in the waters of finality. So non-differentiation, the Piscean Paradigm, is death for Aries Lagna, a complete drain, the ultimate waste. What does this tell us? Aries doesn't want to dissapear. It obviously therefore prefers distinction, which is a vestige of youth in spirit, and a tendency to dislike the doctrines of one-ness and merging. For practical, energized, non-detailed, ready to work, ready to serve "great causes" ARIES...

...Pisces and all it's undefined spaces feels like a floating waste of time...

So that's my Aries summary....
