No, I don’t think that the ascendant means more than your sun sign— or as you said, “the actual zodiac sign.” I do believe the ascendant plays a factor in compatibility, but I think the sun sign keeps everything “in check.” Even to individuals who feel as though their ascendant or moon sign overpowers their sun sign, I still feel as though their sun somehow influences their overall character.
Some people I do think will tell you if a moon is in a water sign, and the sun is not, perhaps it will play a larger role occasionally. I’m ambivalent as to what I think about that— but I can’t argue that there are people who definitely identify more with their moon or ascendant more than their sun. I still believe if that’s the case, their sun sign still keeps the rest of the chart “in line."
