Your Progressed Ascendant (And It’s Ruler)
Ask the collective.
I’m just off the phone with a client who progressed ascendant will move from Pisces to Aries within a year. I am a progressed Aries rising and remember the dramatic shift well.
I explained that when I was a progressed Pisces rising, I went to an astrology conference and some guy behind me blew on my neck the whole time, acting like he was doing nothing. As an Aries rising, I am currently seen as angry and dangerous. It’s pretty funny.
As a progressed Pisces rising, ruler Neptune was conjunct Progressed Mars in Scorpio so my prowess was concealed. As a progressed Aries rising, ruler Mars has moved away from Neptune, while it is still in Scorpio and everyone knows I’ve got a knife.
What is your progressed ascendant and how does the chart ruler look in your chart?

Progressed Asc in 27 Gem, progressed Mercury in a square in Pisces, also trining Saturn.
In early 2014 the Asc will shift to Cancer, curious how that’s going to work out.
Aquarius… uranus trine moon, square sun and mercury.
it seems like progressed placements always mirror transits to natal planets. and i’ve got uranus squaring my natal ascendant/jupiter/neptune and conjunct my natal moon. uranian craziness is all around.
unexpected pregnancy with a man who has uranus conjunct his scorpio sun natally…ahhhhhhhhh!!!
I’m at 29 degrees Cancer currently. I was born with Gemini rising at 28 degrees. I’ve been pretty shy all my life. I can’t imagine what will happen when I move over to Leo sometime next year. Really hoping the shyness lifts and I get comfortable letting my light shine.
Progressed ASC in Pisces, yuck, am not a fan of it, but i gotta long way to go with this ASC so I better work with it, ruler Neptune conjunct progressed MC in Sag, must check what Elsa wrote on it, definitly for the couple of years a fog that goes as far as my public image and personality go!!!
Interesting…I just looked up my progressed chart for the first time. Apparently I am 11 degrees Aquarius for my progressed ascendant. I think it makes sense to me 
A question for anyone who might know the answer: do we retain a certain degree of our natal ascendant qualities when it comes to progressions? I would like to better understand progressions and the roles they play when analyzing my chart. Cool stuff…
As an aside:just saw that I’m teetering on the edge of a progressed sun in Scorpio. Only one degree or so left to go…. Mwahahahahah. Shall be interesting.
Progressed Ascendant moved to Virgo this year; natally 28 degrees Cancer. I’ve been a messy slob for years, and quite egotistic I can see now, while Leo Asc…having a difficult time adjusting as I can see I would like more organization in my life, and I Don’t Know How to be more organized. Wondering if my depression hasn’t arisen in part from this as my Moon is natally Virgoan which may means my inner nature actually craves the order I’ve never given it. My sun is progressed Sagi and I think that contributes to the easygoing, messy mode too – and that doesn’t turn over for years…ruler Mercury at 24 degrees Sagi right now – I foresee (and hope) that by end of 2015 when Mercury progresses into Capricorn, that will be a more balanced fit (Libra sun natal always seeking equilibrium). 
Progressed from 19 Libra to 15 Scorpio, 2 deg (17) from my natal sun with Mars in Pisces and my sun 12 Sadge. More secretive and mysterious. With this forgiving heart and guilt for being angry at people. However the moon is in Aries, flares up and sees red and Mars puts out that fire. But with those elements of 2 waters and 2 fires I steam, you may see smoke out my ears. I also have this overwhelming need to travel, see the world and meet people. Thinking… No wonder I’ve been more blunt than usual. Scorpio, Aries and Sadge all say it as it is, brutally. My natal Libra balance goes one way or the other, say it or shut my trap. Luckily many see the humor.
As of TODAY, my progressed moon moves into Leo, which is also my progressed ascendant. It is conjunct Vesta and will in four degrees conjunct my natal sun. The sun is the first “planet” to rise and it semi-squares my p. moon, squares p. Mars, trines p. Saturn & p. MC and now widely is conjunct Pluto (10 degrees, which will continue to move closer over the next few years).
It’s interesting because natally my sun trines Mars and squares Saturn. Not sure what it all means.
Progressed rising @ 22º Libra… 6 yrs for my long w8ed Scorpio rising.
Oops, I read the title as progressed moon, not ascendant… I was just SO excited about my moon that that’s where my head went!
My Progressed AC is @ 19 degrees Gemini. My Progressed Mercury is conjunct the AC. It also makes a trine with Jupiter and the MC, and a square with Pluto. I’m definitely feeling all in my head.
“some guy behind me blew on my neck the whole time, acting like he was doing nothing.”
…aw, no respect for a pisces asc. 
Natalia that sounds like fun:)
My progressed ASC is in early degrees Aquarius. I feel like an Aquarius alright, and I hate being told what to do right now, it’s making me crazy. Saturn transit in my 10th hasn’t helped.
P. Asc in mid-Leo, with p. sun exact on the n. node and square p. Neptune.
Kinda interesting, since I have a very loose sun-Neptune trine natally. I wonder how this effects my natural fog machine tendencies? I haven’t noticed (unsurprisingly *laughs*).
My progressed ascendant is in mid-Libra, and my progressed Venus (conjunct pr. Sun!) is in Virgo.
sag 13degrees. swell… squares everywhere yikes I need to put the breaks on my mind!
My ASC is @29 Cap (according to Astro.com) and my Saturn is @29 Leo.
Prog. Saturn squares prog. Mercury in Scorpio, but sextiles prog. Venus.
Feeling kind of lost right now. I can feel a tug of war between honoring authority and social rules, and rebelling.
12 deg Virgo.Mercury is in Sag in the 4th,squaring the ASC,opposing the MC and sextiling Jupiter.
I’ve always appeared as a cold,detached,quiet and nerdy person.It’s a relief to find out that it is because of my prog. rising because I have 28 deg Leo rising and I suspected that the time might be off and that I might, in fact, be a Virgo rising.I love my Leo rising!
Ps : English is my 2nd language
Hi everyone,
I’m still new in astrology. How to check my progressed ascendant and it’s ruler? I’m a Sag with ascendant in Pisces with moon in Gemini.
Thanks in advance
The year my ASC went from natal Gemini to progressed cancer my grandmother passed away. And the roll of family nurturer fell to me.
Progressed ascendant Taurus, trine natal Pluto….could this be why I obsess so much about…nevermind, LOL I think it’s prog Venus in Scorpio…in the 7th. Fml. hee-hee.
Progressed Asc at 20Ëš Libra, prog Venus exactly conjunct prog Mercury at 9Ëš Aries, opposing my natal Neptune in Libra
My prog Sun is almost at 29Ëš Pisces – the move to Aries will be interesting!

I’ve always been extremely curious about how to read my progressed chart. I know it has played a part in shifts for me (p. Moon and when planets have changed house/sign).
I am a natal 3Sag and currently have p.ASC at 7SAG conjunct p.Venus on the ASC.
My p.Jup is 6Virgo currently in 9th house (the Sag house) and getting hit with that Mars Virgo transit. Also, p.Jup is opp p.Mars at 29AQ in 3rd hs, getting hit with Nept/Chiron trans. I’m seeing all of this as a very good thing — or, perhaps, it just all overly optimistic influences.
Though, I DO wonder what that p.Mars shifting to Pisces will bring….

Wow I bet Pisces to Aries is a big shift!
My progressed ascendant is in the late degrees of Cancer.
My progressed Moon is in Taurus in the 10th house. Natal Moon in Virgo in the 4th house.
