Thank you for this full of information reply!
So I guess a Scorpio ascendant with Pluto in 1st and also Moon 1st will have all of the above in very pronounced effect. Do you think that lack of succes in his thirst of power would make him detached in his emotions or experiences? Moon seems to be a cure for the Plutos darker features, but this detachment can be also understood from his Saturn in 4th.
Yeah, the Moon would sort of offset the intensity of Pluto but bear in mind that the Moon in Scorpio is in a fall state. The fall state of the Moon being Scorpio implies that there is a deviation when the Moon and Pluto are together, from a normal lunar function. Contrarily Moon and Venus (moon exalted in Taurus) would imply something more naturalised.
One example of a person I know with Pluto on the Ascendant is Iggy Pop lol, and he matches most everything Endora wrote. An individual I know with Moon in the 1st house is also very like Endora's description and it is a feminine placement for sure even in a man. My description personally for Moon in the 1st house centered in Aquarius is that it does make someone quite emotionally reactive and sort of dependent on other peoples input into a situation. Prefers not to be alone (contrary to what it means for Pluto being there too which is more alone oriented), associates themselves with their family and generational background very strongly. Identifies with archetypes and subcultures, especially if there was issues in childhood with being taken advantage of by older people or feeling oppressed in some way. In Aquarius and with the persons aspects all in tow they did communicate quite emotionally instead of with a focused clarity (Mercury-Neptune + debilitated Mercury) which shouldn't quite be the case with the Fixed Scorpio and Pluto in tow instead, but I think the issue with this one which there should be considering the implications of it as a Fall sign, is that it may lead one to struggle 'letting go' in whatever situation letting go is needed. Whenever an idea or set of details grabs the persons attention they will focus on them to the absence of all else which can be for the negative (in the case of if the all else involves the truth, or even if it's something one requires like water or sitting up straight) in order to attain the fixed 'in' of whatever it is they're after. Like a person who 'must be goth' so they stand outside dressed up all day to remind people goth exists: https://youtu.be/3vC7PnGWf1Y Lol.
The Moon in Aquarius guy I knew was quite like this type of thing but with his own variations, Moon in Scorpio should be similar as like Aquarius it is a fixed sign focusing on "whole" and "shifting" things but instead of detachment and idea forms, it rules more to the emotional underlying forces of these things and so it has a more emotional nature.
I've seen people with Scorpio on the ascendant before who I would describe as examples and figures of their time, whenever that was. Whether they were unknown or really well known, if they stand out in their generation it will be in an intensive way but if they don't they will reflect everything good, bad and generally remarkable out their generation and its overall reflection in the world. That's for the Ascendant in Scorpio though, with the Moon and Pluto there too I am unsure on anything concrete and would just be theorizing.
The Moon as a Cardinal planet carries its own strong emphasis on understanding the soul as a fundamental rule of Astrology (In my opinion). The Chart Ruler is very important, but all the Cardinal planets Mars, Moon, Venus and Saturn are all naturally very important in a chart too unless they are placed really insignificantly or rule only the cadent houses. Even then the functions of these planets attribute themselves to our actual assertion and mental development and are serious business. For this reason I'd say don't undervalue the Moon it's probably a big key to understanding the way your Mind works as it itself rules the 6th Pineal chakra, not Pluto. Pluto is of the left-brain masculine side of the Pineal gland and probably indicates here that this side of the chakra is more active within this chart.
