The Sun in Leo is in domicile, the planet's own home, and the tradition lists no other planet's rulership here. Leo is a masculine, fixed fire sign; the Sun is a masculine, day-team planet, so sect, gender and sign agree.
Leo is the fifth sign of the zodiac, a fixed fire sign with positive polarity, and the only sign the Sun governs in traditional astrology.

The Moon in Leo is in the Sun's home sign, a masculine, fixed fire sign. The tradition lists no domicile, exaltation, detriment or fall for the Moon there.
Leo is a fixed fire sign with positive polarity, the sign the Sun governs, and a Moon there sits in the Sun's home. Modern psychological astrology reads the emotional need here as warmth returned: to be noticed, appreciated and welcomed.

Your Ascendant is in Scorpio if Scorpio was crossing the eastern horizon at birth. A sign lasts about two hours on the horizon, so this depends on birth time. In whole-sign houses, where each sign is one house, Scorpio is the first house, and Mars, its traditional ruler, is the lord of the Ascendant. Mars also rules Aries, which falls in the sixth house. Modern astrologers add Pluto as Scorpio's ruler; this block follows the Hellenistic scheme, which had only seven planets. Scorpio is a feminine, fixed water sign and the sign of the Moon's fall. Mars belongs to the night team under sect, the tradition's sorting of planets into day and night teams. The tradition's questions are Mars's sign, house and aspects in the actual chart, and whether it was a night chart.

Reviewer's notes
Dignities, houses counts, genders and modalities matched the project's own dignity tables and Ptolemy/Valens. Moon's fall in Scorpio and Mars's night sect confirmed (Ptolemy I.7, I.19). Lord-of-the-Ascendant importance confirmed only in secondary sources (Astrology Podcast); softened 'first/main' to 'among the first/key'.

1 Oct 2026
A Scorpio Ascendant records Scorpio rising in the east at birth, which is calculated from the recorded birth time and place. The Ascendant changes about every two hours. Modern psychological astrology reads it as the way a person enters situations. For Scorpio, a fixed water sign, authors describe a watchful, composed approach, with a first impression of intensity and reserve. The tension named is control of disclosure: gathering information about others while revealing little. Hellenistic astrologers give this sign to Mars, and read its condition for the chart. Modern astrology adds Pluto, which the older tradition did not use, so the two schemes name a different planet for the same Ascendant.

Reviewer's notes
Element, modality, ruler and Ascendant-concept claims confirmed in secondary references; the per-sign manner descriptions attributed to modern authors are tradition-level and not checked against Arroyo or Sasportas text. Replaced the internal-sounding "the engine computes" with neutral wording.
