crimsoncurrentThe 125th Consideration in astrology advises examining the ascendant (rising sign) in a birth chart or horary question, focusing on signs ruled by planets with two houses (e.g., Mars rules Aries and Scorpio, Venus rules Taurus and Libra, etc.). The native or querent’s main challenges or activities will often relate to the matters governed by the planet’s other house, typically caused by their own actions. The outcome depends on the condition of the ruling planet and the Part of Fortune:Aries Ascendant: Issues related to death or downfall (Scorpio, Mars’ other house, is in the 8th). If Mars and the Part of Fortune are well-placed in the 8th, the person will have luck in 8th-house matters (e.g., shared resources, transformation).
Taurus Ascendant: Health or service issues (Libra, Venus’ other house, is in the 6th). If Venus and the Part of Fortune are strong in the 6th, success comes in health or work.
Gemini Ascendant: Issues with home or imprisonment (Virgo, Mercury’s other house, is in the 4th). A well-placed Mercury and Part of Fortune in the 4th brings prosperity in home matters.
Virgo Ascendant: Focus on career and honor (Gemini, Mercury’s other house, is in the 10th). If Mercury is with the Part of Fortune in the 1st, great wealth is possible; if in the 10th with the Part of Empire and the Moon, the person may achieve immense power or leadership.
Libra Ascendant: Death-related issues (Taurus, Venus’ other house, is in the 8th). A strong Venus and Part of Fortune in the 8th brings luck in 8th-house matters.
Scorpio Ascendant: Health problems (Aries, Mars’ other house, is in the 6th).
Sagittarius Ascendant: Risk of confinement or loss of freedom (Pisces, Jupiter’s other house, is in the 4th).
Capricorn Ascendant: Wealth through hard work (Aquarius, Saturn’s other house, is in the 2nd). If Saturn is poorly placed, the person may waste their resources.
Aquarius Ascendant: Secret enemies (Capricorn, Saturn’s other house, is in the 12th).
Pisces Ascendant: Rise to honor and status (Sagittarius, Jupiter’s other house, is in the 10th).
In summary, the ascendant sign and its ruling planet’s condition, along with the Part of Fortune, determine the native’s challenges and successes in specific life areas, shaped by the planet’s other house.
