Diaries of a Dilly Daller

What is an ascendant/rising?  In an astrology chart, the ascendant also known as rising sign is the personality of the person. It’s the way a person is perceived by others.  It’s the mask put on and shows to the world. You may call it a filter.  For example, on Instagram you have an option to put a filter on your pictures.  The picture would be you (your sun) and the filter would be your mask; personality (your ascendant). Sometimes it’s shown through your physical appearance.  My ascendant in my natal chart is Gemini Rising 29 degrees 55 mins.  Quite often, I am put as a Cancer Rising. I can understand why its push to the next sign since I’m a hop, skip and a jump away from Cancer.  However, this confuses me because I’ve never identified with Cancer.

On 9/11/2001, on this particular morning I woke up feeling sad not because I knew what was going to happen (maybe subconsciously) but because I wanted my mom to be healthy.  The previous year, late November, she had fallen into a diabetic coma and kept in a coma by the doctors for a period of time.  She came out of the coma in January 2011 but she wasn't the same.  She needed assistance to do to everything.  She hated it because she was always a very independent person and at that point in time she had to depend on others and that was horrible for her.  I miss her.  I eventually lost her December of that year. Anyhow, I digress.  On this particular morning, I remember everything. It's funny how I can't remember what I did yesterday but I can remember this particular day clearly.  Although it's been 13 years since the tragic event occurred, we Americans never forget.  I didn't lose a family blood member or a friend on that day but...
