The Degree of your Ascendant & How You’re Perceived (Part 2)

Leo degree (5º, 17º, 29º):

There’s a certain star quality about you that makes you stand out from the crowd. You have a big personality that either makes people envy you for your confidence or it just makes them want to be your friend. Being around you feels like basking in the sun. You shine on your own and you share this light with everyone you come across. These people could have a regal essence about them, like they could have very glowy skin, voluminous curls, and they look their best when they accessorize with gold jewelry.

Virgo degree (6º, 18º):

These people understand just how important the little details are. They are attentive and thoughtful when they really care about you so these are the kind of friends that will help you when you’re in need and maybe even surprise you with a gift you briefly mentioned long ago. They can come off a bit stiff and socially awkward, only because they live in their head and they’re constantly worrying about the things that could go wrong at any moment. They can also be pretty health-conscious because this placement calls for more of a focus on the body and taking care of one’s well-being.

Libra degree (7º, 19º):

Appearance means everything to you. You put a lot of focus on your physical beauty and you could even obsess over made up flaws created in your head that you think other people would notice about you. These people really know how to work a room. They are very charming and take great pride in being pleasant in social settings because there is nothing that irks them more than someone who is obnoxious and can’t read the room. They could struggle with people-pleasing to make everyone else happy and this is when they could be placed in the middle of conflict to act as the mediator.

Scorpio degree (8º, 20º):

It could be difficult to get to know you at first because you’re suspicious of everyone and everything. These people could lie to others if they don’t know them well enough to be honest about things in their life and they could just lie to throw the person off because Scorpio energy tends to attract nosy, entitled people. You are someone with emotional depth and intensity and because of this, you are able to expose people’s hidden traits & secret agendas. Like you could get around certain people and realize that they become more aggressive towards you, but you stand strong because you don’t fear much in the external, it’s your internal battles that have caused the greatest pain.

Underrated Fame Placements/Indicators

12th House Placements

From what I’ve observed about verified celeb birth charts, planets in 12th house are prominent. I think planets in the 12th house can give you an inclination to creative talents and otherworldly aura. 12th house fame can be overwhelming and put celebs in a sphere far from everyday reality.

Katy Perry has a 12th House Sun

Marilyn Monroe had a 12th House Pluto

Harry Styles has a 12th House Moon

Frank Ocean has a 12th House Sun

7 Degrees & 10 Degrees

These two astrological degrees appear in the charts of many music artists I see. 7 degrees is ruled by Libra, a sign associated with beauty, grace, art, and fashion. 10 degrees is ruled by Capricorn, a sign associated with the public, hard work, and dedication. I think these two degrees represent artists who are gifted with artistic talents that propel them into the public eye.

However, the 10 degree can be difficult for many reasons. I see the 10 degree in birth charts of celebrities who had been exploited and abused by powerful people. Unfortunately, they can be taken advantage of or bullied publicly than most.

Britney Spears has her Sun at 10 Degrees

Michael Jackson had his Sun at 10 Degrees

Chappell Roan has her Moon at 7 Degrees

Etta James had her Moon at 7 Degrees

7th House Placements

Ruled by Libra & Venus, the 7th House is associated with contracts, law, partnerships, and fairness. Art, beauty, and charm are common themes found in the house too. However, it is also known to be a public house similar to the 1st, 4th, and 10th House. Most celebrities have planets within this house, a house that gifts them artistic expression and even the possibility of dating a famous figure.

Ariana Grande has a 7th House Mercury

Selena Gomez has a 7th House Saturn

Drake has a 7th House Jupiter

Tina Turner had a 7th House Mars

11th House Dominance

Ruled by Aquarius & Uranus, the 11th house is associated with virality, dreams, wishes, groups, and social media. Beneficial planets such as Venus and Jupiter provide celebs with great opportunities to make their dreams come true. They can gain benefits and wealth from the collective. I see a lot of influencers with 11th house planets or dominance too.

Madonna has a 11th House Venus

Rihanna has a 11th House Sun

Scarlett Johansson has a 11th House Jupiter

Ryan Reynolds has a 11th House Jupiter

The Ascendant Degree: Where the Soul Re-Enters the Story

The degree on the Ascendant marks the soul’s re-entry point, the psychic imprint of whatever wasn’t finished last time. It’s not a trait. It’s a tension. A reason. A rhythm. A scar you agreed to wear so you wouldn’t forget the lesson.

0°

You entered this life like a question mark. New to the shape you took. Detached from the one you left. There’s no echo in this degree, only instinct. You’re here to start again, without script, without certainty. To learn that beginnings are not proof of readiness, just permission to begin.

1°–3°

You came back with hesitation in your bones. Still unsure if you were ready to be here. This life carries the residue of reluctance, not regret, but caution. You’re learning how to stay long enough to want it. To let desire reawaken without demanding certainty first.

4°–6°

You slipped in sideways, softly. Like someone who learned, once, that being seen too soon could hurt. You don’t rush into rooms or identities, you listen first. This degree is learning that silence isn’t weakness, and presence doesn’t need volume to be real.

7°–9°

You inherited a script that doesn’t feel like yours. Old expectations cling like costumes, heavy, ill-fitting. In a past life, you had to become what others needed. Now, you’re learning to take the role off. To stop performing safety and start becoming truth.

10°–12°

You arrived with a faint echo of something remembered. A feeling you’ve been here before, though the details blur. This degree brings subtle recognition: a soul still adjusting to its shape. You’re learning to trust what feels quietly true, even when no one else can see it yet.

13°–15°

This is where the soul stops negotiating. You came back to carry something real, to shed the identities you once used to survive. There’s no more pretending. Only the slow, strong work of becoming the shape you were always meant to be.

16°–18°

You remember being shaped by rules that never fit. Your soul came back to rebel, but also to reconcile. There’s friction here between the old obedience and the new truth. You’re not here to pick a side. You’re here to learn how to live in the tension without needing to resolve it.

19°–21°

You returned carrying echoes too blurry to explain, but too loud to ignore. There’s a weight in your instincts, a sense of déjà vu that pulls at your choices. This time, you’re not meant to repeat. You’re meant to move forward without waiting for things to feel familiar.

22°–24°

You split yourself early, one self for the world, one self for the soul. This degree learns how to merge the two. You don’t need to erase the difference, only to let them sit at the same table. You are a conversation waiting to be heard.

25°–27°

You didn’t come back as a beginner. You came back because something still matters. This degree carries leadership, repetition, and emotional weight. You’re here to finish something, but this time with integrity.

28°

You are wrapping something up. This isn’t the start of a new story, it’s the closure of an old one. You came back for resolution, not repetition. To say goodbye without vanishing. To leave better than you arrived.

29°

You didn’t have to return. But something called you back. This degree is heavy with both wisdom and weariness. You’ve mastered something but it still needs healing. This life isn’t for doing it all again. It’s for changing how it ends.

ASTROLOGY OBSERVATIONS X: some you probably never heard of🦢

CHECK OUT APRIL SALE: fixed price on any and all of my readings even the future spouse analysis one, it’s 11$, and 22$ only.

NOTE: enjoy this post and don’t forget to reblog, thank you for your support, lots of love xoxo!! ₊˚⊹౨ৎ

If you wanna go viral on social media check the planet on your 11th house, and the download the ‘planetaro’ app, and post during the time of this planetary hour.. and if your 11th house is empty check the ruler.

Moreover it is best to also post during the jupiter, sun or venus hours they’re the most favorable from what I noticed, you can book a reading with me where i analyze this aspect more deeply for you if you take social media seriously, and trust me on that one.

Prominent taurus placements especially venus, saturn, mara or mercury may have a hobby of collecting coins.

Another thing common with people with venusian placements especially taurus again is having or possessing a very breathtaking collection of jewelry, or they care about their jewelry alot and love spending money on them.

Most Aries placements i know especially mars or jupiter suffer from inflammation or they get constantly bloated because in order for their body to get regulated they need constant moving, that’s why i always advise them with moving, run or even just stretch just move your body.

Having moon in the 12th house may indicate having a family member that went to jail or have been prisoned or charged before.

3rd house uranus folks, please don’t get a drivers license and thank you the streets will be much safer without you on the road! And i won’t elaborate further you manic drivers.

Anyone with lilith, saturn or Chiron on the 6th house, im gonna hold your hand when i tell you that no there is no ‘picture perfect’ body, let that image out from your head please and thank you.

12th house sun or mercury, learn to read tarot, you guys are some really good readers.

Reading List

Mexican Sorcery: A Practical Guide to Brujeria de Rancho by Laura Davila

This book covers a variety of topics in brujeria de rancho ranging from amulets and talismans to pacts with Satan. This text is one of my favorite books on brujeria, and one that I consistently recommend to beginner and advanced brujos alike. It is a great starting point for reconnecting to brujeria, and also an amazing resource and referential text for more advanced practitioners.

Cleansing Rites of Curanderismo: Limpias Espirituales of Ancient Mesoamerican Shamans by Erika Buenaflor

This is a book on curanderismo specifically, however I recommend it to brujos too as it is an important subject to have knowledge about, even if you do not actively use it. It includes a variety of limpias for a variety of purposes, which I have used many times with great success. It is a staple in my library, and my favorite book on curanderismo.

American Brujeria: Modern American Folk Magic by J. Allen Cross

This book contains a great foundation for brujeria, and is greatly useful for more advanced practitioners too. My favorite part of this book is the introduction. It is fabulous at introducing brujeria, and more importantly the history behind the word. It contains a variety of subjects such as rosary magic, an entire section on vicks vaporub, and combat magic. Overall, this text is a phenomenal resource on brujeria, and is by far my favorite book on the subject.

Blood of Brujeria: Traditional Mexican Curses and Defense by Alexis A. Arredondo and Eric J. Labrado

This book strictly covers defensive and baneful brujeria, and is a great source on it. My favorite entry is that on the iron scissors, as it is rarely mentioned outside of oral tradition. It also has a GREAT section on protecting your home.

Magia Magia: Invoking Mexican Magic by Alexis A. Arredondo and Eric J. Labrado

Another great book by the authors of Blood of Brujeria. Packed full of information, my favorite being the section on divining with maize and divining with obsidian. One of my favorite books on brujeria.

Herbal Limpia

There are many ways to perform a limpia, such as the methods I have shared on my blog before. This is another method that I know of. I have been taught these, and here, you can learn from me. Know that all limpias are simply different paths to the same destination.

Performing a limpia is a two person job. it requires cooperation and coordination, as well as trust. However, it does require firm boundaries as every limpia requires some level of either physical or spiritual contact. Be firm, and let your partner know what you are and aren't comfortable with.

The Ritual:

You will need: • A bundle of fresh herbs 1-2 feet in length Rosemary, rue, mugwort, sage, or basil are wonderful for limpias. I typically go into my garden and pick the herbs intuitively, leaving an offering of tobacco or oregano for permission. • An outdoor space • Optionally, copal incense and mezcal

The herbs are used to absorb and transmute the negative energies. The bundle is not like a traditional herbal bundle you purchase from a store. In fact, it is more akin to a bouquet. You may make it as simple or ornate as you like. I typically tie my bundle together with a red ribbon. You beat the client with the bundle, and not lightly may I add. You beat them all over their body with the bundle, head to toe; front and back, as if you are brushing all the negativity out of their aura and body. You may say a small limpia prayer or mantra during this process, or simply enjoy the silence. The intention of this is to bring the spirit back to their body.

Sacred copal is used to purify the mind, body, and spirit. The white smoke of copal perfectly captures its purpose: to turn bad into good; to replenish; to cleanse. It has been used for thousands of years, and should be treated with respect and reverence. Source it ethically, and, if you can you should collect it yourself.

Mezcal alcohol is an alcohol derived from the agave plant. It is grounding. Therefore, it aids in returning the spirit back to the body. It also aids in cleansing and purifying the body. It is typically sprayed from the mouth of the curandero onto the heart, head, abdomen, and appendages. It is an intimate practice. Typically you spray it under their shirt, with permission of course.

And finally, gratitude. The curandero must give thanks throughout the limpia. Give thanks to mother earth and father sky. Give thanks to the ancestors. Give thanks to the allies and tools that aided in the limpia. Give thanks to God, Jesus, and Mary. The participant must give thanks too, often by giving a small gift to the curandero such as copal, tobacco, or mezcal.

Remember, curanderismo is healing magic. Do not treat it as anything else.
