Hi Eric,<\/p>\n

I’ve been reading Virgo, my Sun sign, and Pisces, my rising sign, in the Planet Waves horoscopes. And more recently, with all the talk of what’s happening on the Aries Point, etc. it’s been occurring to me that since my ascendant is 27 Pisces, perhaps I should be taking a closer look at the Aries horoscope, since most of my 1st house is in Aries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Planet<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Pisces always feels really bang on for me, so should I bother with Aries? Or is the rising sign the over-arching influence no matter how late the degree? Thanks so much for your thoughts.<\/p>\n

Hello Susan,<\/p>\n

So let me see if I understand you: you’re Virgo Sun and rising sign in Pisces. And you resonate with my Pisces interpretations. And now you’re wondering if you should read Aries, because Aries is the most of your 1st house; this, because you are late Pisces rising.<\/p>\n

The intuitive answer is — read what works for you; there is no ‘should’.<\/p>\n

From my standpoint as a horoscope writer, I write for the Sun and the ascendant, recognizing that as Patric Walker said, “It’s all about the houses.” The houses are the environments in which we live and explore the drama of life. In the ancient tradition of whole-sign houses (the oldest house system, and the basis for much of the astrology that we do these days), it did not matter what degree the ascendant came through; Pisces is Pisces, be it degree 1 or degree 30. Pisces is your 1st house, in this old method of working with the horoscope.<\/p>\n

But for example, you might find some financial advice if you read Aries, and you might find some information about your siblings and your neighbors if you read Taurus, since those follow the house scheme, by theme.<\/p>\n

I hope that helps — and if you have any related questions, drop them into the comment area and I’ll do my best to reply.<\/p>\n
