Ascendant Opposite Sun

You are easily impressed by the people you meet and hope they will be equally impressed by you. You attract powerful individuals with strong egos who always try to gain dominance over you. Without knowing it you are showing that you doubt your own significance in the hope that others will reassure you, for you are somewhat unsure of yourself and fear rejection in your relationships. You become affiliated with successful persons whom you can admire because you need to know you are genuinely appreciated, not merely tolerated. In other words, you are always looking for backhanded compliments. You enjoy having people fawn over you because it bolsters your sagging opinion of yourself.

In personal relationships you try doubly hard to do everything you think is expected of you as if to make doubly sure that your friends think well of you. You must become independent of the security you had in your parents' home and transfer your need to belong to someone you can relate to personally. Before asserting your own opinion you always try to put yourself in the other person''s place. This can be a definite asset if you decide to go into business or a profession because you would give your clients the impression that they are the most important people in the world. Flattered, they would happily pay for your services. Those who are the recipients of your services know your worth better than you do.

You have no difficulty in communicating with people, perhaps because you really enjoy having people around you. But you have to work hard to convince associates that you are as capable as they are, and if they do not accept this, you prefer to work alone. You need to assert yourself more aggressively when competing for job opportunities, or you will be left out.

In love, your partner''s welfare and state of mind are of critical importance to you and will be a major factor in decisions about your life. When you are not involved in a relationship, seeking one out is high on your list of priorities. In an active relationship you will expend a great deal of energy on whatever your partner is involved in, which can be interpreted as concern or as meddling, depending on how you handle it. Be careful not to let concern for your lover outweigh your own needs or cause you to neglect yourself or repress your own energies.

If there is conflict between your needs and those of your partner, try to benefit the relationship by using both energies. Whatever your situation, you will be happier and more creative when you are involved in an active partnership, although it need not be a sexual relationship. Having a partner who participates in your creative affairs will make you much more productive and satisfied. Also, you may be the same motivating power or force behind your lover''s creativity.
