hat you see is what you get. I am who I say I am. Full-frontal. Out in the open ― like it or not. No place to hide. No rest for the wicked. The Sun Also Rises. 24 hours of daylight. Breaking dawn. Daybreak. The night is past. It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day. Tomorrow is another day. Wake up. Waking up is hard to do. Full presence. Lighting up the room. Baby, baby light my way. Flashlight. Self-propelled. Guiding light.

Tendency to get offended when people doubt or question you. No protective covering. People see you. You make an entrance. No veil. Your day in the sun. Shining bright. Here I am! No hide and seek. Here Comes the Sun. Oh no, here comes so and so. Front and center. I can see clearly now. Bright outlook. Radiant perspective. Life’s a stage. Embodying a role. The actor on stage. Burnout. An artist. A performer. Taking life by the reins. Rising star.

You may get real tired watching me, but I’m not going to quit.
― Harrison Ford

Outrageous. Outlandish. More of the same. Overwhelming. Overbearing. Scorching everyone in sight. Burned out retinas. I need sunglasses. Ow, my eyes! You’re too much! Get down with your bad self. R.E.S.P.E.C.T. People better find out what it means to you! Pride before the fall. Ready or not, here you come. You can’t hide from your mistakes. You can’t hide from embarrassment. You hate to be embarrassed. You don’t want to show your face, but you have to. You like to bask in admiration. You attract a crowd of admirers. People like to sidle up to your warm glow. You outshine everyone around you – for better or worse. Remember to let others have their day in the sun too.

You look just like Dad. Daddy’s twin. Living a life under your father’s influence. Dad leads the way. Dad shows you your path. You follow in your father’s footsteps. Looking for a father figure. In search of a positive male influence. Personal renewable energy. You’re awake! You call others to action. You lead by example. You walk your talk. Your authority is unquestionable. People can’t question who you are. You have the precedence. You have the authority. You have the jurisdiction. You have the autonomy. Your Sun shines bright. You are born into prominence. Don’t let yourself live in another’s shadow.

Sun / Ascendant aspects

1st harmonic, 1/1. This aspect comes from taking the 360 degrees of a circle and dividing by 1, then multiplying by 1. Like this, 360 / 1 = 360 x 1 = 360.

The natural next step; the next thing that needs to be done; how one thing naturally leads to another; what you should be preparing for next; where things are heading, whether you want them to go there or not. What all your hard work and preparation are for. The next big thing. Natural direction.

What you might be blind to. Something just over your shoulder, out of sight, and beyond the periphery of your vision. A blindspot. The thing that came immediately before, and is already nearly forgotten. Efforts at memory. Reclaiming. People who don’t have your best interests at heart. Better work on some yoga moves to look over your shoulder, and behind your back.

Opportunities for positive change; awareness of a time to take positive advantage; opportunities that pass unnoticed without conscious effort. No, there may not be another chance. Learning to be quicker to act on good luck. Learning not to let good things pass you by. Learning that positive experiences require effort too. Positive doesn’t mean passive.

Flow. Ease. Status quo. Circumstances and characteristics that are not changing.

Unstoppable, sweeping movement. Lack of self-discipline. Laziness and self-indulgence. Times that are easy, lacking challenge and opportunities for growth. Taking situations for granted.

Adjusting expectations; tempering over-enthusiasm and over-reaching; keeping yourself in check; adjusting to meet changing circumstances; doing what you need to do to make things work. Adjusting your attitude. Adjusting your perspective. Making-do in uncomfortable situations. Developing flexibility and adaptability. Bending, until you almost break. A see-saw, with too much weight on one side, and not enough on the other side.

The term “inconjunct” is often conflated with the word “quincunx” in astrology. All quincunxes are inconjuncts but not all inconjuncts are quincunxes. Some inconjuncts are semi-sextiles.

Excerpt from the book Horoscope Symbols by Robert Hand

3/7 harmonic This aspect comes from dividing the 360 degrees of a circle by 7, then multiply by 3. Like this, 360 / 7 = 51.26° x 3 = 154° 17’ 08”.

4/9 harmonic. This aspect comes from dividing the 360 degrees of a circle by 9, then multiply by 4. Like this, 360 / 9 = 40 x 4 = 160.

11/24 harmonic. This aspect comes from dividing the 360 degrees of a circle into 15-degree equal segments. Like this, 360 / 24 = 15, then multiply by 11.  Like this, 360 / 24 = 15 x 11 = 165.

This aspect does not make sense to me at the moment, but here’s the link.

I would think a quin-decile would take the 360 degrees of a circle, divide by 10, then multiply by 5. Like this 360 / 10 = 36 x 5 = 180. Which is exactly the same as an opposition, because it is a 5/10 harmonic, which reduces to 1/2 harmonic. 360 / 2 = 180 x 1 = 180.

2nd harmonic, 1/2. This aspect comes from dividing the 360 degrees of a circle by 2, then multiply by 1. Like this, 360 / 2 = 180 x 1 = 180.

Challenges from outside; awareness of other options; opportunities that require you to stretch outside your known boundaries; an opportunity to stand back and reflect; seeing yourself from a distance; putting yourself in someone else’s shoes; seeing yourself through someone else’s eyes. Gaining awareness. Seeing a situation from a new vantage point. Getting distance, and gaining perspective.

This aspect comes from dividing the 360 degrees of a circle by 7, then multiply by 4.

This aspect comes from dividing the 360 degrees of a circle by 7, then multiply by 5.

This aspect comes from dividing the 360 degrees of a circle by 7, then multiply by 6.
