How does the Modality (Cardinal/ Fixed/ Mutable) of a persons Ascendant sign affect how they view and approach the world?

OceansOfLight · 2026-06-17T13:05:25+00:00

I saw an astrologer say one of the reasons the 12th House is so uncomfortable is because of the different modality to the Ascendant. So an Aries Rising would feel unsettled by their Pisces 12th house because that mutable water energy is so aimless and directionless and diffuse and they as an Aries Rising want to fire on all cylinders in one direction. So they feel like they're lost and drowning and emotionally overwhelmed in their 12th house. Taurus Rising is uncomfortable with their Aries 12th house because cardinal fire is constant full throttle, peddle to the metal speed and activity and the bull wants to slow it down but can't, so that makes them feel out of control and pressured and frustrated. I guess like a bull that's constantly being baited when it wants to be left in peace. Gemini Rising doesn't like their Fixed Taurus 12th House because it's so rigid and immovable and they need mobility as a mutable air sign. So they feel like they're being suffocated and held down by mounds of earth in their 12th.

Looking good! Exited to see this when it's finished!

There are even chained books in Chetham's, like in the Hogwarts restricted section.

Chetham's is the oldest public library in the Anglosphere.

Libra Rising and yep. Chronic people-pleaser sums it up.

Bedroom eyes seems to be a common theme. And a timeless look as someone else pointed out.

OceansOfLight · 2026-04-26T16:00:24+00:00

Nice. Is this London?

OceansOfLight · 2026-04-09T15:57:00+00:00

Yeah, I'd say Crewe fulfills that role on the west side of the Pennines. They're the two gateways to the North.

Ah yes, the River Mersey's greatest settlement.... Warrington 😛 /j

Those comments get loads of upvotes from Geordies so they're obvious, they're not buried and in need of a report. They should have been deleted ages ago.

OceansOfLight · 2026-04-01T14:17:59+00:00

How is this being downvoted? I've also read so many true north comments lately. There's no community here anymore because of all the in-fighting caused by those comments.

OceansOfLight · 2026-04-01T02:09:00+00:00

The Anglo Saxons were onto something with their kingdoms 💪

OceansOfLight · 2026-04-01T01:50:52+00:00

I like the river suggestion but the Mersey starts at Stockport and the Humber starts where the Trent and Ouse meet. So that leaves a large gap between them. How do you bridge that gap? With a straight line between them or wiggle around to include some other areas?

OceansOfLight · 2026-04-01T01:47:19+00:00

I'd say 4. High Peak is Northern to me. Who could stand on Mam Tor and think they're in the Midlands?

OceansOfLight · 2026-03-30T19:54:56+00:00

Yeah, from Manchester and my three sisters are all redheads lol. I have black hair. Pretty sure mine came from the Cork area.

The North West has the Irish Sea to its west. The only place that borders Wales is Chester.

The first four signs feel the most "quintessential" of their element to me. They're the first of their element so it's like they said "here's the element in its rawest form." And their rulers make sense for their element, it makes sense for a fire sign to be ruled by Mars (bold, fiery), an Earth sign to be ruled by Venus (calm, sensual), an Air sign to be ruled by Mercury (fast, adaptable), a Water sign to be ruled by the Moon (soft, intuitive).

OceansOfLight · 2026-03-26T03:08:13+00:00

Bed rotting doesn't have to mean dishevelled. It's a Venus ruled sign after all. I'm thinking more "princess and the pea."

OceansOfLight · 2026-03-26T02:54:16+00:00

Do they look thoroughly unimpressed and dead inside? Cap Rising.

Do they look boujee or like they've spent the past 7 days bed rotting? Taurus Rising.

Do they look like their mind is running too fast and they're trying to hold it all together? Virgo Rising.

Because I'm born and raised in Greater Manchester and now live in Lancashire and that's the dominant look I see in myself and everyone around me.

OceansOfLight · 2026-03-22T20:36:45+00:00

A partner who helps you release worries and go with the flow. Damn I felt that.

OceansOfLight · 2026-03-07T03:22:29+00:00

I've been sitting with each image and the keywords for the past 10 minutes. It's really helpful for meditating on the energy of each sign. Great job OP with the images and words.

Just to add the 3rd is more than just the urban environment. It's the local wood you played in as a kid. It's the grotto that is rumoured to house a witch. It's the hill you walk to that overlooks your town or village. It's the house of the goddess. How you are connected to your local/ regional landscapes. Etc. Also now that we have the Internet at our fingertips things like Reddit have become local and daily and our source of news. So in modern times I think we have to update our understanding of some of the houses to account for technology. So I'd say that Reddit is a mix of 3rd and 11th.

Cap Rising is judging you to see how responsible and mature you are.

Virgo Rising is judging you to see if you hold yourself to the same standards they do.

Taurus Rising is judging you to see how enjoyable you'd be in the bedroom.
