Back to basics....  The core of any horoscope is where you find the Sun, Moon, Ascendant and Midheaven.  These are the four points that define one's individuality and one's place in the world.  The Sun is the star that gives us heat, light and life - without it we wouldn't be here, so it represents that part of oneself that is unique and individualistic - one's sense of identity.  The Moon reflects the light of the Sun onto the Earth, so it reflects the light of the Sun out of us.  The Moon is your personality, emotions, feelings, habit patterns and day to day routines, it's the way you behave when you're not watching.  The Ascendant, or rising sign, is the armour that you put on as you go outside the front door, not the way you are but the way you're seen to be by the outside world.  And the Midheaven is the public image, the way you project yourself into and onto the outside world - it's the first impression.  Different layers of the onion....
