Hi everybody, I'm Frank Clifford and this is Frank Hansers presented by Astrology Hub. Now one of the most common questions I'm asked

and have been asked by you is to help people summarize the difference between the sun placement,

the moon placement, and the ascendant placement.

So for those of you have asked, I'm going to explain that now.

So here's a quick summary of the differences. I like to think of the Sun really as your core character,

a series of traits that you built up and that you really feel you own in your later years.

Very different from the moon which tends to be more about your needs and your habits

and the ascendant which is what I call the meet and greet personality.

Now the big three, sometimes people feel they're interchangeable.

Sun in Aries, moon in Scorpio, same as Sun in Scorpio and Moon in Aries, and it really isn't the same at all.

The big three are the most important, I think, areas of the horoscope and certainly the ones that lead us into

understanding the rest of the birth chart. Sometimes the sun has been called the destination where we're heading to. The moon has been called the baggage, what we carry with us on the destination, and the ascendant has been called the vehicle that takes us there that gets us there.

And so that's a great analogy for me really because the sun is that process of our development,

our development of character,

what's important to us, in many ways
