A planet in conjunction to the Ascendant always takes on powerful proportions in the native's life and personality. A distinction is made between planets in the twelfth house in conjunction to the Ascendant, and planets in the first house in conjunction to the Ascendant. When found in the first house, that planet feels free to express itself. When behind the Ascendant in the twelfth house, that planet is just as powerful, but it has problems expressing itself in a direct and uninhibited manner.
Moon conjunct the Ascendant
Those with Moon in conjunction with the Ascendant in their natal charts are quite impressionable and their moods change often. This is not to say that they are weak characters--they most certainly can be strong individuals. However, they pick up tremendous amounts of impressions from their environment and are sensitive to the slightest of temperature changes (not only with regards to the weather, but feeling/spiritual sensations from people and the surroundings as well).
They can easily project confusing signals to others. On one hand, their attachment to the home and family, as well as the projection of a somewhat dependent or needy personality, gives off the impression that they are seeking warm attachments with others. On the other, they have an unmistakable streak of independence and can hold people at arm's length when they get too close. "Moody" is the best way to sum it up. Even their physical appearance is notably changeable. Women with this position tend to retain water at different stages in their cycle. Rounded faces are common in both men and women.
The desire to nurture can be very prominently projected, or the desire to be cared for. Usually, it's both, and others don't always know what to expect. There can be emotional displays quite frequently. If the Moon is in the twelfth house and conjunct the Ascendant, the emotional ups and downs are all there, but they lie below the surface much of the time. The desire to express their emotions is about as powerful as their desire to keep them hidden! The need for an outlet for emotional expression is extremely vital, and can often be found in the written word (many writers have this position). These people possess colorful imaginations, and respond instantly to pulls at the heart strings as well as emotionally evocative imagery, music, and situations. Those with the Moon in the twelfth house may be adept at hiding their emotional responses, while those with the Moon out in the open will have a hard time keeping it under wraps (if they even care to!). At the very least, their expressive faces reveal many of the moods that are going on inside.
People with a twelfth house Moon conjunct the Ascendant are often quite reclusive yet have a strong need to express their emotional, caring, and humanitarian natures in some way, especially in a behind-the-scenes manner. Both twelfth-house and first-house Moon-Ascendant natives often express a strong attachment to the family and home.
People with Moon conjunct the Ascendant are quite shy as children--sometimes painfully so. First-house Moon-Ascendant people are more apt to get over that shyness, especially if they have found a constructive channel (or a few!) for expressing their spilling-over emotions. Twelfth-house Moon-Ascendant people often remain shy much of their lives, although they do become less so with age—or at least they "manage" their shyness more effectively as the years go by. Many Moon-Ascendant people blush easily—another expression of emotions that are difficult to hide! They often project a sweet, perhaps even innocent, image—especially the women—and smile very readily. Katie Holmes and Shari Lewis are good examples of Moon conjunct the Ascendant.
