I notice every now and again ppl mention that their sign (or signs) get a bad reputation because of certain qualities. Being new to most astrology I would definitely like to see some ppl elaborate more on what they think they are unfairly generalized as in relation to their dominant zodiac signs. I can relate to this b/c when I first started getting interested in astrology I felt that nothing positive was ever said about Gemini Moons and Gemini Venus. I've learned that totally isn't the case but still get the feeling that they are, in some way, still painted with the same broad brush. Post your thoughts and knowledge! ------------------ Cancer Sun Gemini Moon Saggitarius ASC IP: Logged |

im an aquarius and for the most part we are pretty well liked among the astrology community except sometimed we get a bad rep for not being good relationship material and being commitment phobic, this may be true for other aquas but not for me.IP: Logged |

Gotta say, I'm the least familiar with Aquarians! I'm not involved with any aquas but at the same time have always been intrigued by them. (maybe because I know nothing about them through first hand experience but have always wondered whether what ppl say about them is actually true.)------------------ Cancer Sun Gemini Moon Saggitarius ASC IP: Logged |

Well I wanna know something! Could earth override an Aquarius sun? And how long would it take you to talk to a girl you liked, or do you need her to always make the first move?As for my sign (Aries) I don't hear a lot of bad things about them but it irritates me being called "the baby of the zodiac." I mean, what do you associate a baby with? I associate it with immaturity, which any sign can be full of. IP: Logged |

But hanna! Babies are the most precious people on the planet!Think of it that way. Not every sign can have such innocence and purity. That's one of Aries best charms! Especially Aries women. Maybe when you are an older woman you will appreciate that aspect of your sign? lol Because believe me, men will. Doesnt automatically; equal immaturity. IP: Logged |

Awesome Tell me about your approach to strangers. Are you personable? Or would you say it takes a little effort get a little taste of what you have to offer? I'm an air dominant person and I understand how it feels to be a little misjudged about how uninterested I seem at times. (if that happens to be a trait you carry). Also, how would you describe yourself when pursuing a potential love interest? ------------------ Cancer Sun Gemini Moon Saggitarius ASC IP: Logged |

A minor pet peeve of mine is when someone decides hundreds of millions of people are no good (as opposed to incompatible, though even "automatically incompatible" is absurd!) because they don't like the sun sign, and typically based on a handful (or even one!) person with the said sun sign. First, the chart lists potentials and inclinations and these can manifest in both good & bad ways (and while a person tends to be good or bad, everyone has their good & bad days, and then there's the free will thing). Then there are other aspects that also make a difference like planets, ascendants, and asteroids. And then there's how natal charts compare so even if a person can't get along with one Scorpio doesn't mean they couldn't with another Scorpio simply because of all the other details that matter (and likewise, just because someone is incompatible with you doesn't mean they are with everyone else who shares your sun sign, because those details matter). That said, I suppose it's my Libra placements that see an epic generalization against hundreds of millions of people as unfair and my strong air elements also don't like what I perceive as mind boggling mental laziness.

haha true about gemini moons. I have that moon and I'm happy with it ... no emotional dependency or pain/misery ... who would hate that ?! Anyway, Aries gets a slightly bad reputation and I don't know how they manage to ruin our reputation, I mean come on people !! you're messing with Aries, you're messing with the god of war haha! first of all , Aries are passionate down to the last bone, and because scorpios are only co-ruled by mars they get all the glory of being passionate ... seriously ?! -_- Aries rules the first house aka rising, then shouldn't they be the best in the self-expression, self worth, traits, appearance ...etc. ?! Aries rules the face , how Libra gets all the glory of being the most beautiful ?! Aries are not talkers, really. We walk the walk. We actually are tactful, until you push one of our "sensitive" buttons, only in that case, we become very blunt and can actually hurt you. Again, we are tactful. Actually we are capable of sweeping you off your feet with our talk. We are not selfish. If we love you then you're in a place where you are taken care of more than we do to ourselves. We are not that daredevil. It's always described in an exaggerated way; " Aries Jump in fast without sparing a second in thinking ". I actually spend nights thinking, but when I come to a final decision, it's unlikely for that decision to change. We are only playful and flirtatious when we are single. Once in a relationship, we are almost blind to others, we will do anything to keep that relationship going. We are actually the ones with raw uninhibited energies and not ... well, you know who We are not stubborn, we can never say no to an interesting new idea. If you find us stubborn , probably what you're suggesting is ... well ... boring I got to admit, we have short temper, but don't worry, we won't hold any grudges after that 5-seconds of torrid war

Reputations have truths and that's why they persist (!) No harm, no foul. If it doesn't describe you then just, keep walkin' IP: Logged |

Aries does get a bad rep! Just look at the 'which sign is most bad ass' thread...were known for impatience and a bad temper...but i think our assertiveness is all too often misinterpreted for aggression and/or domineering. I was reading an old thread on cancers being real difficult in relationships tho. it was called something like what not to say/do to cancers in a relationship and one answer was 'get involved.at all' lol. funny thread.IP: Logged |

Stereotypes I dislike…That my Capricorn Sun is ‘boring’ and always conventional. Yes, Cap folks can be reserved when you don’t know them well, but once you get to know them some are surprisingly kooky and interesting. I know I am with all my ‘new age’ proclivities, my sense of humor, and my love of alternative health. Responsible yes, boring no. That Sagittarius Venus needs freedom so much that they are ‘bad’ relationship material, and that they‘re cheaters. Oh please! There is a party animal side to this sign, but there’s the intellectual side as well (a Centaur is half beast half Man). Sag is also connected with our morality, beliefs, and religion. Some Sag Venus people (like me) are so opinionated about maintaining their honor and integrity in relationships that they’d never consider such an act as cheating. It’s the principle of it. And I’m not afraid of commitment either. Aqua and Gemini Venus often gets the same rap as Sag Venus too, I’m not buying that at all. Any Venus sign can cheat or be faithful.

well i cant exactly speak for all aquas with an earth influence because i have had so many bad experiences with women, and all may not have had my kind of luck. I'm going to be completely honest , i have literally zero confidence when it comes to talking to women, it didnt use to be that way but my experiences have taken their toll. Now i am extremely hesitant to just jump right in and strike up conversations, much less ask them out. I usually try to size up if a girl seems interested and if i see sufficient evidence that she may be interested i might approach her. IP: Logged |

Libras get a bad reputation as shallow, superficial, dishonest, insincere, two-faced/disloyal, gossipy, etc. People don't always understand that we love harmony and beauty (both inner and outer beauty as well as artistic beauty), that we hate conflict and confrontation, that we try to see the other side, that we want to be liked, and that we genuinely see good in people and value them--that we often mean it when we give compliments.

I like this about Geminis. Even the Mercury in Cancer Gems that I've met have been chatty. I knew one Cancer Mercury who talked more than I do--that's saying a lot!! IP: Logged |

I never understood how I am supposed to be a show off and a social butterfly. I have never been either of those things. Self-absorbed? Who isn't to some degree? LOL, we're human beings, I have known self-absorbed Pisces, Cancers, Taurus, you name it. But really, my ego is rather small. Compliments are nice but I don't thrive off of them...I like attention but not the spotlight. I am not bossy towards anyone, and I prefer it if no one was towards me. Oh and the last thing......I appreciate nice things yes, but I am not materialistic!!! Oh yeah, I'm a Leo btw. Most other Leos I have met were quiet people. IP: Logged |
