As I was saying to Vivian, I am not an astrologer, but I have been asking people their dates of birth for 30 years now and I see interesting trends.
I would like to know if you think there is a 'typical', and if you are true to what is supposed to be typical of your sunsign.
Victoria

ohhhhh yeah... i'm all pisces... don't think there's anything cusping or rising with me.... look up pisces in the encyclopedia... and there'll be a piccy of my fishy face

i've read that there's 3 types of pisces... the timid minnow... the playful dolphin, and the more aggressive whale... although i do occasionally take on the traits of the other 2... all in all i'd class myself as the playful dolphin....

<--------------- see... there's meeeeeeee

LOL at WittySpirit...too funny.

I don't think I am typical anything LOL......
I am on the cusp of Libra/Scorpio (officially a Scorpio) and about the only thing that is true of me is I am very secretive.....and maybe a few other traits but too secretive to share LOL

Bluemist.

ummm typical.. yes, and no lol
i am more open and adventuous due to mom being a sag lol
she makes me get out of my rut, but i am definilty a creature of habit lolol
you know me a while. what do you think. am i a typical taurus? lol

Oh I am a typical scorpio! Everything about me especially my stubborn streak and my sting!

I'm definately a typical Virgo. I'm a very big... uhh.. perfectionist when the occasion calls for it. I've actually had people at work yell at me for being too organized. lol I've also had people yell at me for worrying about others more than myself. Which I still do from time to time, I must admit. lol But I can't help it. I'd rather other people be happy and me be miserable than me be happy with others miserable. It's just the way my body works. lol So yes, definately typical.

find yourself a pisces friend/partner... being opposites they're great for each other... the virgo brings logic and order to the pisces... and the pisces brings the magic...

I wish I could be so lucky. But right now, I'm friendless and I got stuck with a Scorpio. lol

heya sorrowful... i'm witty.. and i'm a pisces... would you like some of my fairy dust?? i'm 37... still believe in the 'magic' of christmas... and i'm sure there are little people scurrying through my house (either that or mice, and living in a sugarcane area... it probably is mice... but thinking it's little people is so much more fun)

I would love some fairy dust. And some little people too if it isn't too much trouble. lol

I uh...don't really know. I'm a taurus...May 18th, 1981 and I am stubborn, and sorta inflexible...and aesthetically it fits, but I don't really know about the rest.

scion, your so close to gemini.... im sure you have alot of those qualities//
my ex husband had same date of birth lol he was definitly stubborn, but he also had alot of the gemini traits... so look at both and see what fits

I'm Taurus, 20th May-so sort of on the cusp.

Things about me that are typical Taurean:

1) Stubborn as anything.
2) My temper, once it explodes then...WATCH OUT!
3) I like the finer things in life, good music, good books, good food and drink.
4) I'm very philosophically minded and love having stimulating and interesting conversations.
5) Have Taurus sense of humour, I laugh even when sometimes life gets me down, and often crack jokes when others in my position would be quiet and sad.

Haven't really looked into the Gemini side, oh I do get bored easily and change my mind a lot sometimes-is that Gemini like?

Hmm...never thought of that. That may explain a few things. Like how I mesh so well with my pure gemini best friend I will read up on gemini traits too and see if any fit.

I am a Typical Cancer also called a True Cancer on the Cusp of Leo.

I have no other choise but to be since almost every one of my plants is in Cancer, but my Mars is in Leo which Leo is ruled by Mars. So I am an extreemly emotional, bossy, *itch AND Darn proud of it too. I am the boss hear me roar or i'll pinch you where the sun don't shine

Tell me about it Ditto - a Cancer/Leo Cusp myself...I understand that Rose Kennedy shared this cusp.

However, my Mars falls in Cancer, but never the less, for both of us our Sun is conjunct Mars, and we never run away or back down from a fight and it makes us very competitive types.

Just curious about which house your Sun is in. Mine is in the 9th.

I understood that a person's sun sign is what they project to the outer world, but in one's personal and inner world, it was the rising sign that rules.

I am Sag and "feel" very Sagittarian and find myself possessing many of the qualities of Sag. BUT...something to think about here, is that the way we view ourselves and the way others view us is a completely different thing. The Sun represents our consciosness or our ego and how we see ourselves. For a more accurate picture of how we express ourselves we must look at the Ascendant, whatever sign the first house cusp falls in in our natal horoscope. This is your rising sign and indicates your outward personality.

Heheheeee no never back down. My Sun, Moon and Rising (as well as Mercury) are all in the first house AND My (real) names initials are ME My Mars is in Leo on the cusp of my Second and Third houses. So I am an extreem person for fairness and willpower being my guide.

Yes I am as well to understand the Sun sign is what we show as an outer as to our rising is our inner, but for me either way I am a moody Cancer.

I am a capricorn and alot of times I don't think I am like what it says at all.... Maybe I'm just not a typical capricorn, lol ?

I'm a true Taurus.

I'm stubborn and pig-headed,
but I'm also loyal and dependable.

Greetings,

I am far from being a typical Aries.. I have none of the typical traits. I seem to be a big mix of all the signs. I figure it to be due to my time, date and year of birth. Maybe I am wrong.


Brokenfeathers

Hi brokenfeathers, if you know your birth time you should check what sign your ascendant falls on, as this is more reflective of your outward personality. Also, placement of planets in your chart could account for a lot of the "lack" of Aries. Though my Sun is in Sag and I do display a lot of that sign personally, my rising sign is Libra and find myself displaying a lot of Libra traits as well.

Greetings,

Thanks for the reply. I am planning on getting my chart done. I am very interested in knowing why I don't have any of the typical traits. I have met a lot of Aries people and I have noticed I am nothing like them which I found to be very weird. My outward personality is way differnt from them.


Brokenfeathers

I have some very typical aquarius attributes, but some are rather untypical. (try to figure them out! )

Alot of people i know don't believe in astrology, but most of them never really showed interest. They say "that sounds nothing like me" or "that could be anyone". Of course, they're right, partially, but they forget astrology is some sort of science or art. Additionally, there are other elements of astrology (in a broader context) in other cultures, like the chinese horoscope.

I personally think a mixture of astrology elements may allow an almost precise description.

Hi all

I'm a Cancerian and relate very well to the 'crusty' exterior and soft inside , but also am very much in tune with the fiery side of my Aries Moon. Most people just see my Taurus Rising...

Yes, I do have most of the described traits as the typical Scorpio.

some trends are typical. Like with me, I'm a leo, and I am quite the dreamer and sometimes I can be the center of attention for both positive and negative reasons. However, other traits that typical leo's have, the stand-offish attitude and other boastful things, may be influenced based on one's upbringing. I guess, in one regard, if one is aware of the traits they possess astrologically, they may have the ability to sort of select which traits they convey or not.
I think that just may be with me I don't know...but would like some feedback on it. As far as asking birthdates goes, I find that I have too many friends that are scorpios, and scorpios and leos are supposed to fight like cats and dogs...
and it's funny many scorpios are my best friends...go fig?

Your Sun is your inner truth in a way, and the Ascendant is your outward face; what most people see in you in daily life.

It can take some time to discover your Sun's qualities in yourself. From what my parents tell me, I was a true Aries when I was young, my common phrase being "I can do it myself!" However when I was older, around 10-14 I couldn't recognise Aries traits in myself very often. The temper came through in Firey bursts from time to time, though.

I think it could have to do with childhood, being oblivious to what others think, you are more like your Sun, your true self. Then when you start to be more aware of yourself and others you become more like your Ascendant, what you think you should be. Only when you are comfortable with yourself do your Sun qualities come forward.

I am a true Sag in many ways. I don't necessarily believe in "cusps". I mean...if you had a premature birth, would you take the date which you were supposed to be born?? Or the actual date of your birth? I believe our higher selves choose the exact time of our birth. If you are on the cusp, it could just be that your higher self needed another planet to be aligned in just the right spot so that it could balance-out other aspects of your natal chart.

I very much agree with Steve in that one must take into consideration the Ascendant as well as the Sun signs...and even more so, it its very important to also consider the other planetary positions. For instance, wherever Venus was at the time of your birth tells of how you lead a romantic life; mars --> passive/agressive; jupiter --> success & opportunity.

Although I'm a Sag Sun, I'm a Cancer Moon. Isn't that an interesting pair? Flighty Sag, always looking to be on the move and for fun and adventure...then take Home-Body Cancer, always looking for home and hearth, stability and security.

Many aspects within your natal chart will balance-out or significantly increase/decrease other extremities...and this is all based upon the lessons that we are to learn/teach within this life.

Bright Blessings,
~Jasper

I agree with you Skyhook. The Ascendant is the mask we wear to fit into situations, so your explanation is really good. As children we don't have as much pressure to fit in so express the Sun sign easier, but as we grow older we learn to use our mask more often in new or uncomfortable situations.

Hey Jasper, your chart should be cast for the time that you take your first breath.

Yeah, I too believe that the higher self chooses the moment of birth and that the planetary influences are taken into consideration for this. I also have thought that sometimes the window of opportunity for a soul to hit that exact moment can be missed and so the soul leaves the body causing miscarriage. I do not believe that this accounts for ALL miscarried pregnancies, but I do think its possible that this happens.

i have always liked to read the different discriptions of Aquarius and no matter what site it is, i'm an Aquarian to the core. I refuse to do the "norm" or go with the group and love to do what ever i can to surprise people! i'm easy going and laid back, but just when you think you've got me figured out, i'll change just to throw you off track....

I hear that Scorpio's are like this also. With the three different levels of personality. The lizard, the scorpion and the phoenix....I think that's what they are. But it seems I read that it has to do with the degree of the sign. For instance the sun in the first 10 degrees is a lizard, the second 10 degrees the scorpion and the third ten degrees the phoenix. It was a very very long time ago that I read this so I could be off on that. I also read that when a Scorpio is born someone in the family, or close to the family dies within a certain period of time. When my Scorpio brother was born, my mom's mother passed away three weeks later. Has anyone else ever heard of that? And I also wondered if that had to do with the degree thing above. As in the death being related to a Phoenix being born. Funny thing I noticed about the Phoenix births was that it seems no matter what these people do they will succeed.

that's interesting... my father died about 2 weeks before my scorpio son was born

You are probably reading a very genrealized description, brokenfeathers. It really has so much to do with the "whole" of the chart. If you had your personal chart done you would see more detailed personality traits emerge. I have read charts that are absolutely hair-raisingly accurate. I'm an Aries also and I've had a chart done like that. I couldn't even begin to fathom the amount of research (thousands of years) that went into that level of detail. I will admit that those are considerably more expensive though.



I've met so many like that. But not all...that's why I wondered if it applied to the Phoenix babies, or whichever one it is. It would be interesting to know what degree you son's 'sun' is in.
I could never find my brothers time of birth and unfortunately Mom couldn't remember.



I agree Rose and Skyhook. I have always heard that the Ascendant is what we show to the outer world...the face we put out there and how we want others to percieve us. I had never thought about the age factor before though. That's interesting.

*quote "find yourself a pisces friend/partner... being opposites they're great for each other... the virgo brings logic and order to the pisces... and the pisces brings the magic... "



Sorry but I had to say this but shoulkldnt "opposites" be like fire/water or earth/air"

water earth are partners for the earth cradles and contains the water
wind and fire are partners for wind makes the fire more powerful.

Water and fire totally opposites
wind and earth totally opposites.





just my oppinion

they're opposite elements... in the case of pisces/virgo.. they are opposite sides of the zodiac.. so the exact oppsite sign...

opposites signs are:

aries - libra
taurus - scorpio
gemini - sagitatarius
cancer - capricorn
leo - aquarius
virgo - pisces

My birthday is March 5, 1952. I'm a Pisces with a Cancer moon. I have (I think) seven planets in water signs including Sun, Moon, Mercury, and Mars. I have a total void in earth signs. I have been told I'm a typical fish. My chart, aspects and all was pretty on the money. Dreamy, mystical, intuitive, compassionate. Hope that helped. I wouldn't want to be anything but a fish.

I was born on November 13th...making my sun sign Scorpio and I am definetly a typical scorpio. Secretive, Defensive and stubbourn to a fault lol

Capricorn sun, but a cancerian rising.
Means that most people see me as shy and harmless, and also ineffectual somewhat (something I detest). Only a few people know the practical person I can be.
Guess I have to aim for showing my true self more

You shouldn't need a horoscope to tell you to show the true you, everyone loves the true you and that's why you should show it!

Yea, however the true me is a bit of a complexity. Astrology can only tell less than half the truth about it. I am trying hard to understand my true self better.

Im An ARIES,I Can Be Stubborn,When I Have Something I Need To Do I Finish It,Im A Good Organizer.(I Think I Am).I Also Like To Help People Out(As Long As It Doesnt Involve Breaking The Law!).I Can Be Quite Talkative Too.I Also Tend To Get Moody!Cheers,From FIFI.

Hi,

I'm Libra and my Mars is in Scorp. It makes me a bit intense sometimes and I drive myself crazy!

I am a Virgo but I feel more like my ascendant, Scorpio, in a lot of ways, I do have some of those pesky analytical, ultra-organized perfectionist Virgo traits but I have managed to beat them into submission over the years (for the most part anyway). I think my Libra moon balances me out.

LIBRA

"These people are great to tell secrets to because they never listen to anything properly and promptly forget whatever is said".


I am Librian, and agree with most things that are written but I was amazed when I came across this quote as this is a definite description of me!

I am very loyal, and would never ever tell a secret, purely because I live by the rules, "treat people how you would like to be treated yourself" but in any case, it is also true I would forget what has been said to me in time anyway!

I actually felt disappointed to read that my ability to never listen properly and promptly forget whatever is said is part of my makeup, as I think it holds me back with my confidence.

I wonder if it is a traite that can't be improved upon?

I am looking to change my career next year where I will need to retain information and think quickly

haha i am libran also & thats sounds very much like me!
xx

I'm a librian could be t he virgo I have in me or Aquariax Picies rising. But I listen I weig h heavily I d rive m yself nuts seeing both sides, to others it may seem I can't make up my mind or have astong opiinion sometimes but think to much weigh to much also ki nd of an empath, sway in way should be but isn't in a perfect world. I think Ignora nce really is bliss.

Sorry, I d on't know w hat's wron my curser just goes nuts I can't seem to fix it.

Vivian

hiya

i'm an aires/Tarus 20th april and i think i'm embrace both signs i'm as stubbon as they come, even if i know i'm in the wrong i'll still argue that i'm right...whats that? no i wont? yeah i will....no i wont.....yeah i will ( this could go on forever) lol,

what i take from the aires

Aries are thought to be assertive,, enthusiastic, , humorous, fast-paced, energetic and passionate, sociable, good communicator, brave,, individualistic, independent, impulsive, competitive, eager, straightforward, forceful, headstrong, a leader, focused on the present and freedom-loving. They can also sometimes be intemperate, violent, impatient, fiery, rash, extreme, and arrogant, impulsive, intolerant, insensitive, and bullying out of selfishness (at least i'm honest) lol

what i take from the tarus

calm, patient, reliable, loyal, affectionate, sensuous, ambitious, and determined character. Generally, there is something distinctly sensual about the appearance. The Taurus person is resourceful, thorough, dependable, responsible, placid, stable, comfortable, solid, earthy, strong, money-oriented, practical, productive, cautious, musical, and artistic. They can also sometimes be stubborn, indulgent, insecure, acquisitive, possessive, rigid, stodgy and slow, and prone to hedonism, laziness, inflexibility, habituality, jealousy, and antipathy.


so many things i dunno what i am half the fine (did anyone see dippy in there? lol)

Haha, your curser has a mind of it's own!

I always see two sides to an argument too! I think Librians would make good mediators!

Give me a choice and I will drive myself nuts!

My favourite colour is Blue, what colour is your favourite fellow Librians? (I am curious!!)
