What aspects and placements would help someone be taken more seriously when they want to be, even if their personality were more "eccentric", i.e. someone who can alternate between "unserious" and serious with ease.

people tend to naturally listen to my fiancee and look to her for direction (at work in groups etc) and she can be very imposing but also very funny and playful

she has a sag sun conjunct saturn and uranus in her 11th, scorpio mercury and venus (venus is conjunct pluto), an aries moon, pisces mars (conjunct jupiter), and aquarius rising

the pisces mars is more the side of her i tend to see more where she needs a lot of pushing and guidance to get things done, but it's always a matter of gently pulling strings behind the scenes while she's loud and on in front of people

I'm like that actually I realized recently that I totally scare people because of my bluntness and no BS attitude at work, but I'm always ready to laugh and tell funny stories and am pretty carefree in general.

However if I do get ****** off it's really obvious and I'll say something sarcastic and cutting but I forget that people don't always realize I'm just giving them crap and don't actually hate them.

Also a Sag Sun / Mercury with Aries moon, Scorpio Venus, Mars in Virgo in the 1st square Pluto and Jupiter, and Leo Rising.

My boyfriend is taken very seriously in a similar way and he also has Mars in the 1st, but it's in Capricorn and he's a Taurus with Virgo Moon and Cap Rising, and Pluto in the 10th.

So we're both really different but have this similar demeanor like 'no BS' but can make friends easily at the same time? Like as long as we get sh*t done, I'm happy to joke around and whatever. Maybe it's Mars in the 1st.

my go to answer would be scorpio placements or capricorn placements even - scorpio moon, aries moon usually tend to be taken seriously quite easily i've noticed.

however....


I've struggled with being taken seriously for as long as I can remember, until I slowly started to consciously aim for strength in my life - at least on the outside. A lot of people tell me I look very focused (lol they dont know the gemini moon inside!!) and its because I wake up every morning knowing exactly what I want to do work-wise. Just set your intentions clear and know what you want to be in your head and it will manifest...it worked for me

i have libra rising too, which gets walked on a lot...so i hope this was helpful

Agree with the above. Capricorn and Scorpio stuff, or earth in general makes it easy to be taken seriously. I have two friends with Scorpio Mercury and Venus (Sag suns) and they are taken very seriously. I am pretty sure one is a Capricorn ASC and the other Cap midheaven. They often get leadership roles immediately and without hesitation and people listen to them when they speak. People also feel comfortable listening to them speak because their Sag suns makes them humorous and light-hearted while maintaining the serious tone.

As a Capricorn with Pluto and 8th house dominant, I can say people don't take me seriously when I speak. I think it's because of my Gem ASC and Pisces MC. It makes me seem naive and uninformed even though I do the research and have the resolve to back up what I say. I struggled to get leadership positions in school and through work, even though I know I can do it well. No one took me seriously until they realized I was doing the job a lot better than the people they actually elected for the leadership positions. It was too late then! I have some 11th house and Sag influence too, if that helps. Aries moon also.

I think the "baby-ish" signs have a harder time getting taken seriously: Gemini, Cancer, and Pisces. They always think we don't know what we're doing or what we're talking about. Always!

People tend to listen when I do speak-which isn’t all the time as I much prefer to observe and listen. I enjoy being in leadership roles but I don’t like to lead alone, if that makes sense? I like to be the leader of a group that work together towards the same goal.

I have a very caring, diplomatic and realistic way of talking to people but I can also be extremely cold. Yes, I do have Sun/Moon opposition and yes, I’m an oxymoron

I tend to come off as someone who never jokes, laughs, talks much(maybe even smiles) until I start joking. My classmate in school one day told me how it's useless to joke with me coz I was sooo serious about everything, I simply laughed lol. It's very useful tho, to get things done fast, they don't ask me much questions, neither do the authority think I look like someone who bends rules. The best thing about having a prominent Saturn is getting away with breaking rules easily coz they think I am just like them lol, I do look good in suits tho , funny thing is I was never really a fan of them until I tried them a bit, helps to attract older chicks cuz they all think I'm in early 30s rofl but hell amidst all this crap I feel like a 16 year old on the inside(Gemini Moon).

It's so weird that some here say that about Scorpio-Capricorn people.
I tend to attract heavy Scorpio-Capricorn men and they seem too serious even if they are in a light mood. I have heard from all of them the same thing "I can't believe you make me laugh" the first time I thought it was just a compliment or he was trying to tell me that he has a fun time with me. Later these was repeated by those different men with very similar chart. In two cases a case a close friend of them told me that they almost never laugh or smile. It's the disbelief in their face that made me understand that they rarely laugh/joke etc.

So others tend to take them just seriously in the cases I know.

I think I am that kind of person based both on grown ups and younger people. I've heard it just twice and once I was told that an uncle of mine around 50 told the same thing although not to me.
I think it has to do with a lot of aspects/placements. Pisces Moon senses the current mood accurately, Cancer Sun and Mercury can die laughing anytime just by themselves and this is even worse when Uranus is touching it because teasing/shocking and black humor become even more intense. Pluto/Scorpio placements give depth and a more heavy vibe while earth especially Saturn/Cap give that calm trustworthy down to earth vibe.
I think you should have a mix of both.
Heavy earth types are the most boring ones compared to others but I love Caps <3
Fire signs tend to be the ones that have the biggest problem to be taken seriously on the other hand. I have many heavy Aries relatives and people don't take them seriously (especially Moon in Aries amd Mars-Moon hard aspects).

Interesting replies. Thanks, guys. I was thinking a dominance of Cap, Virgo, Scorpio, and Leo with maybe some Aquarius. And for aspects, definitely Sun and Saturn.

Saturn plays a part in this. People with Saturn aspects to their inner planets tend to come across as serious and thus people take them seriously. I've Saturn aspecting my Sun/Mercury/Mars and people always says I'm very serious and I can be, really. I also hate it when people joke while I'm being serious.

But I also have Rising/Venus in Gemini and Sag Moon so I can be really funny too.

That's me! Lol
I don't know what aspects make me come across like that but people do have instant respect for me. My Pluto squares my moon and my ascendant and I have Mars conjunct Sun.
I also have many Uranus aspect so people kinda expect eccentric behaviour from me, too.

I know a woman with Cap sun and Scorpio moon and she comes across quite ditzy. She is very charming though so she gets her way in the end but I doubt people take her seriously

i have a virgo sun (square saturn) leo mercury and cap mars and no one takes me seriously like that

people like me, they'll listen to an extent, they want to spend time with me etc but i dont have that sort of commanding presence my fiancee has

probably the strong libra, like someone mentioned before it's not the best for people seeing you in that light


@Plut0nian2

i've always found people with heavy scorpio really funny, they tend to have very dark senses of humor and i love the **** they pick up on

i've always been able to make them laugh and vice versa

caps can be too serious though

It's probably your Pluto square Asc. People sense your intense presence.
