Understanding Internal Struggles, Unhappiness, and Envy Through Ascendant Signs

When we look up at the starry sky, each person, influenced by their distinct mindset, experiences unique emotions and imaginations upon seeing the same constellations. This is much like astrology, where different authors offer different perspectives. So, dear readers, as you go through this article, try not to focus on how other astrology works may have explained the same topics.

Follow my words, clear your mind, and reconsider the issue from my viewpoint. Then, blend it with your usual "sights and sounds" to compare your previous readings with my descriptions, and see which aligns more closely with your feelings. This approach can help you draw your own conclusions.

This concept is similar to our recent discussion on "rising signs." Often, when we try too hard to present "the side of ourselves we want others to see," we're essentially allowing our "rising sign" to dominate, while suppressing our "sun sign." This creates a kind of "internal conflict," as the "sun sign" represents the core of our personality.

When you suppress your "sun sign," it's like rejecting your true self. As a result, you might feel others are thriving while you struggle. This feeling is amplified when you hear remarks like: others' children are excellent, others' partners are amazing, or others' lives are enviable, or even feel tempted to make these comparisons yourself.

You should reflect on whether your "rising sign" is overshadowing the essence of your "sun sign." It's akin to acting: performing once can be exciting, performing for a year turns you into an actor, but performing for a lifetime becomes a "life of deceit."

No matter what "acting" brings you, there will always be a lingering sense of "anxiety over gains and losses." Ironically, the more you "gain," the less secure you feel inside. Thus, I hope all readers pay closer attention to their "sun sign."

You might feel unhappy, aimless, or perpetually lazy, avoiding activity because you haven't truly acknowledged or understood yourself. In your quest to explore astrology for self-understanding, you might have "gone off track."

This is particularly pertinent for those with "air signs" or "autumn signs." Because you tend to be highly intelligent, with a stronger sense of "purpose" and an emphasis on "social dynamics and performance," you might be more drawn to your "rising sign." As a result, you may feel quite "capable" and "confident," yet minor issues can ignite feelings of "rage," and when faced with doubt from others, you might feel compelled to justify yourself excessively.

For instance, if your "sun sign" is Leo, Libra, Virgo, or Scorpio, you might find yourself repeatedly introducing yourself to new or even old friends: "I am straightforward, I hold no grudges, I am very grateful, and I value friendships; I am good at everything, except I am too emotional."

The intent behind these statements is undeniably to create a strong "first impression" on others. The more you partake in these "self-introductions," the more it suggests you are not truly that person; you merely wish others to see you that way.

The principle is akin to dining at a restaurant where the owner doesn't constantly remind you, "This is a place to eat; would you like to eat?" Therefore, the more you project the self-image you want others to perceive, the more you head in that direction. You'll need to carry this "persona" and wear this mask in your interactions. However, this only adds to your "burden," making you feel exhausted and potentially aggressive in maintaining this "persona."

Especially for "Leos, Virgos, Scorpios," and even "Libras," there is a fear of having their opinions challenged. When introducing themselves, they dread being questioned. They are not only apprehensive about others seeing their "sun sign," but they also fear confronting their true selves. So, how could this not be exhausting?

Thus, when spending time with someone you view as a successful "autumn sign or air sign," you might hear them say, "Actually, I have always envied you; at least you live more easily." This demonstrates that even those who seem strong may not be happy; achieving their "goals" might have cost them their "true selves," rendering everything less than "perfect." Their feelings of "depression, disappointment, and lack of happiness after success" stem from this.

Therefore, in this series on "rising signs," I encourage everyone to be attentive. Strive to find your true self through the descriptions of "rising signs" and "sun signs." This way, amidst confusion, you can uncover the path you truly desire; in matters of love, you can understand who is genuinely the person you want.

In closing, thank you all for reading, and I hope everyone finds their most "authentic" selves!
