Just wondering... I think I vaguely remember your descendant being your ideal for a relationship... does this mean you find yourself drawn to your descendant sign or people with traits like that of your DC sign?Any other theories/experiences? Anyone know what a DC in Cancer says about what I'd be fulfilled by? ------------------ I'll sail the stygian swamp to the duties of this momentry life

I don't know, really. I have my DC, Vertex, and Venus all in Pisces, but I'm not really attracted to the Piscean type.I usually end up liking Sagittarians. (I have my IC and Moon in Sagittarius...I wonder if that's why...?) IP: Logged |

I'm usually drawn to my MC types so basically people with Scorpio influences. Although I do like Cancers lots too.IP: Logged |

well, a while back I conducted an informal survey on LL that revealed a mild correlation between your DC sign and the sign of the person you "lost" your virginity to (starting to dislike this expression). From my personal experience, the DC can either influence the type of person you are attracted to OR the way you yourself act in partnerships- a side of you that comes out only in intimate relationships. For some people the DC reveals both. Another interesting thing- I've noticed that the DC often shows the kind of person you are drawn to while fairly young. Almost like they represent the first type of relationship challenge you have to battle through to get to the other side and then you are no longer so drawn to them. Am I making any sense? You know how there is the theory that we act more like our ascendant as we get older? Well, I feel like we act more like our DC in relationships when we are young.. and we are drawn to those kind of people. And then this transition happens when we've had enough of that type of energy and we begin to project more of our rising sign and be less drawn to people with our DC sign. ok.. that was a confusing paragraph. anyways.. I've got Aries on the descendant and I definitely feel that The Aries Man was a phase I needed to get through to learn a lot about relationships and my own needs- mainly, that I don't want that type of energy anymore, in myself or my partner. At least not in excess.. IP: Logged |

My DC's in Cancer and I'm always really attracted to Cancerians or Aries, mostly its Aries, then Cancer (close margin here), and Libra is mostly attracted to me.Well I think DC is somewhat like how you are in a relationship and what kind of partners are the best for you. Its always opposites, because you see opposites are from compatible elements (like earth and water or fire and air) and they're also challenging (its opposites) so its the best combination cause then you don't get bored, but its not that bad either. ------------------ "It is never too late to begin the journey of Awakening.

whiterabbit -That wasn't confusing at all. I think it's one of the most important points about the DC. And you might want to start a thread on it, even if you are not conducting a full on test, that way others can benefit from thinking about their own experiences, as well as start some dialogue with others in order to learn even more. It's always amazing to see how across the board things can be. ------------------ ... it's better to light a candle than curse the darkness IP: Logged |

I kind of think the DC is what you want to be. I've always wanted to be all Piscean. I've always idealized the Piscean traits, but I've never been attracted to those in others. I've always wanted everyone to think of me like that.I don't know if that makes any sense, but... Heh. I hate reading all of these descriptions of Virgo Rising being all practical and shy and blah blah blah. I've always kind of wished I were born 12 hours earlier so I could have been a Pisces Rising.

My DC is in cancer, but I don't think I'd date another cancer (not saying I'd rule them out but about my father...). Maybe what we want is emotional security like Peri said.IP: Logged |

My DC is in Gemini and i do like gemini characteristics in my man, but ive never been witha gemini before,But i think it also has to do with if you have any planets in your seventh house,I have mars and chiron and i like the assertive,energectic/Caring and nurturing types as well.What interesting is that I have MC in libra and libras have been drawn to me lately.

First off- yeah, I think it's a definate trend that your MC is often the sign that you find a lot of in people you know and are drawn to and they can be friends or lovers.What's interesting to see is Cancer DCs saying they like emotional security etc. Ok, so personally I haven't found that, I'd say well, that's just because I'm 15, but still, when you're young is meant to be the time when this expresses itself, so... Also, at the moment I like a Cappy so am I completely going for the opposite of what I'm meant to be..? However, when I do get into a relationship I have a feeling, from small experiences already, that I would act quite like a Cancer.. I've seen myself show worrying neediness, mild emotional paranoia and general moodiness... so maybe this is why I'm attracted to the opposite of a Cancer? On the other other hand (lots of points here lol ) a while back, I did have a bit of a thing for a Cancer. He likes me, but I'm pretty sure as a friend... that's irrevelevent anyway, but back then I really liked him. IP: Logged |

Hi Sweet _ face: Now I get it why I am surrounded with Libra. I am not only onw with all those libras ....hmmm.I know like 6-7 libras around me. I guess they would be more. I have got DC too In Gem...I need a person whom I can talk to or I would get bored. Talk on the phone for long.No problem. Air signs get attracted to me more. There were Libras,Aquas and Gems. That make sense. In my case DC shows that there is an initial attraction for people who are like my DC. IP: Logged |

Hello Sweetie. Have you ever met someone you instantly liked but whom you were not like? This is how the Descendant works, its a complimentary opposite. the yin to your yang IP: Logged |

Nove731, I know what you mean, about wanting to be like your DC...I've always felt the same way. Though my Asc is Leo, I've never quite identified with it and have actually resented it. First of all, I never feel as competent or arrogant as I'm supposed to come off and am often dismayed by the reserve and distant gaurd people lay about me. I'm not sure whether I intimidate or not, but whatever it is, with my feelings of inadequacy, I wish I could have received a lot more tenderness and warmth. With the way people respond to me, you'd think I'd be a scorpio rising instead (although I have a sun square pluto aspect). The whole Leoness seems so remote and alien to my nature. The whole primping and high-maintenancy panache is totally antithetical to my sun, which is -what a coincidence - in opposition to my Asc in Aquarius. But anyway, (sorry for digressing) I always wanted to appear as unusual and creative as I feel - the entire inventive eccentric genius ensemble and intellectual aloofness with likeability of course..but nah. I usually don't care much about the aqua in others; admittedly sometimes, I feel rather intimidated by these folks who possess these qualities. And so this is how it is and remains: I equal a social recluse, lacking in flamboyant bravura of the leo. Although not subjected to the eclectic avantegarde title, I am socialy dysfunctional in spite of it. Meanwhile, communication lines are severed...retrogade mercury (even though it's supposed to be exalted in aqua!), venus square saturn and uranus...and aqua STILL seems like something I've always yearned to be and been rejected for. It's funny though because most of the aquas I know in my personal life are unfortunately flaky and extremely conventional. On the rare occasion that I've met an aqua worthy of long-term friendship, etc., it has been disappointingly fleeting. I do think that I attract Leo and Aqua men, though to some extent. I don't really know though because I've never really been in a satisfying relationship. I think I unconsciouly do go for sagittarius rising at times. And my friends tend to be Scopios or Pisces with Aries qualities. Ah...I feel like a social failure. I either attract the most unlikely, random, stalker types or nothing at all, and that's concerning to those commensurate of my age. Otherwise, strange male English or Philosophy teachers like me.

freebird ~ I feel the same about communication in my relationships, its make or break..and I have Merc in the 7th.On topic, Aquarius is my DC and no Im not attracted to all Aquas that pass me by..some of em im really repelled by actually -- but its strange how many friends have moon or venus in aqua in my 7th, esp female. I went through a BIG phase tho being attracted to my MC sign [aries] - always admired their strength, ego, innocence ...looked up to them and thought by being in a relationship with them those qualities would sorta infuse me, haha. pretty strange, huh. Oh well - learned what I needed to learn. But for me, now anyway, Im attracting a lot of my 5th house type [Uranus and Neptune are there]. So lately theres been a long string of guys who are stubborn, some sorta substance abuse and just out and out BIZARRE - you know the types who cant stop moving for one second even tho theyre standing still? OK so the point is, look at your 5th house as well [the planets or the ruler] and see if that has an effect on things. IP: Logged |

p.s. quote: Anyone know what a DC in Cancer says about what I'd be fulfilled by?
A nurturing partner who would provide a balance to your workaholic, controlling Capricorn AC tendencies. Someone who makes you --relax-- and gets you to value the home as well as the work environment. An antiode to your stress, puts you in touch with your emotions. IP: Logged |
