click to see chart Bert Newton (aka 'Moonface') has Moon on his Midheaven The sign on the Ascendant of one's birth chart is the face one shows to the world. 'Big-headed' (and big-hearted) Melbourne TV personality Bert Newton has Leo rising - and while he doesn't have the trademark Leo mane of hair he is however well-known for proudly showing off (and sometimes taking off) his 'Oscar' - a golden hairpiece. Yet the planet ruling the Ascendant may also influence one's looks. Known affectionately as 'Moonface,' Newton has the Sun ruling his Ascendant from the last (30th) degree of Cancer. His Sun is thus ruled by his Moon (from the midheaven no less)! Now that's an extremely moony combination!
