I've already read a few posts like this, but I thought I'd just make my own about my personal astrological observations. For the past year or so I have slowly collected data of people's signs, and then I would watch their actions and personality tendencies. The following is what I have generally come to find. (Please don't be offended, they are only from my own limited perspective)

-Aries tend to get angry quickly, but they also are good at letting go of. Generally idealistic personalities. Physically I've noticed that they seem to grow hair alot faster than other people. They also usually have a "bounciness" in the way they walk.

-Taurus women love to subtly manipulate those around them, and when caught they are great at playing innocent. They like to have many "creature comforts". They also tend to flirt alot.
I don't have much experience Taurus men but from what I can tell, they like to command and conquer things, not necessarily in a violent or aggressive way though. They like to have trophies and reminders of their accomplishments.

-Gemini men tend to have "know it all" mentalities, and they are great at fast communication, whether it be in person, by phone, or through the internet. The fastest typer I know happens to be a Gemini.
Gemini women are witty and can be pretty sarcastic. They also have the potential to be very cruel and even superficial.

-Cancer women have always been extremely moody and dramatic in my experience. When upset, they make sure everyone in the surrounding area knows about it, like banging stuff around and making noises. Also I've noticed that they require alot of emotional security in relationships. Watery eyes.
Cancer men that I've known also seem to have a "know it all" personality, along with larged sized egos. Also tend to be pretty moody.

-Leos... what can I say that hasn't already been said? Sure, they love attention, but they are also very generous and warm.

-The Virgo females I know tend to be pretty down to Earth and like some sort of drama going on most of the time. I only know one Virgo male, and he's VERY analytical and skeptical of most things.

-Libras like parties. They gravitate towards excitement, the more people the better. I've also noticed they are always involved in peer pressure, either by being easily pressured into doing something everyone else is doing, or by doing the pressuring themselves. They are great charmers, they can make any idea sound like a good idea.
They also tend to look at intimate relationships as holding great importance. Rarely is a Libra without one romantic partner or another.

-Scorpios... everything that's already been said about them: mysterious, sexual, manipulative, indulgent... Also I've noticed they tend to hold grudges and physically they are more likely to be red-heads.

-Sagitarrius is the one sign that always throws me off. One thing I do notice about them is that they ALL love to flirt with the opposite sex, even if they are already in a relationship with someone else.

-Capricorns are very practical, always concerned with money, jobs, and success. They love to have recognition! They tend to be loner types, not letting anyone get close to them emotionally.

-Aquarians? Well, they sure are "different". Have strong opinions and beliefs, but don't try to force them onto anyone.

-I've noticed that Pisces often seem to be in "another world", or entranced by some thing or another. Gentle, compassionate people that work behind-the-scenes, in the shadows. Take on qualities of those around them.

Again, I hope I didn't offend anyone; these are just very limited generalizations. Feel free to add your own, I will as well as I think of them.

PS- I didn't say much about Aquarians because I am one and it would be too biased. Feel free to add your own.

Aquarians...
I noticed something that is in contrast to what I`ve read about them in the astro cook-books.
I noticed that:

Aquarians are the most faithfull lovers in the Zodiac.
They may hesitate to commit but once they fall in love - their relationships tend to be long lasting.
Aquarians are thrustworthy, they never will let you down.

My mother is an Aquarian with an Aqua Venus,
she told me once that she is still madly in love with my father to whom she has been married for 35 years.

I have 3 other Aqua girlfriends and they all are in long-term relationships, they also are almost never found to be flirting left and right.
One of my best girlfriend is an Aqua with Aqua Venus, she was the most beautiful girl in school. She had only 3 relationships in her love life and she is married for 9 years now. I asked her a while ago if she still loved her man after 9 years, she said - more then ever

John Travolata is such a famous Aquarian and he is very much in love with his wife Kelly Preston, and for so long Never heard of any scandals with him been cheating or something.

Paul Newman is an Aqua and we all know that his marriage is the one of the most successful marriages in the Hollywood arena.

Clark Gable, another Aqua man, broke many female hearts with his famous charm but he stayed a faitful lover to his beloved wife until his end.


of course I am not saying now that ALL Aquarians are that way.

Just a quicky comment,

Could be because Aqua's find friendship in their marriages the most important thing. When you are friends with your lover well...what can be better than that?

And yes, though it is fun it is all very general. I never liked generalizations but then who does? I know one Aqua male who is not at all different. I find him boring without a good sense of humour. He can also be very rude. But he has the humanitarian thing.

But I think your obeservations were quite cool and Adamist!
Cancers and drama...hahahaha! You betya!
I am a drama queen! But not a clingy one, hehe (other post by Prox).

Adamist,

What is it about us Archers that throw you off? Do we make you feel uncomfortable?

I do think that we are flirts, although not consciencously (spelling is not our strong point). Some of the more jealous men I have dated would get so angry when I would just smile at someone. The thing is, I smile at everyone. I genuinely love people (even though I do need my alone time). Hell, I think I even flirt with animals. I don't mean that in a sicko kind of way...LOL... I just mean, that to me, everyone is a friend, some are better than others.

My Leo friend laughs at me because my favorite line is "Hi, wanna be my friend?". I don't really use it on adults, but when we would go out to a cattle ranch or dairy, I would walk up to the animals (horses, cows, cats, dogs or just anything with 4 legs) and ask if they would be my friend.

He often shakes his head and smiles while saying "You know, not every animal wants to be your friend"... Sure they do!!!

Anyway, I do agree that we are kind of out there.

Adamist,

I think you've confused Cancerians with Leos. Leos have huge egos and are queens and kings of drama, with banging doors and all that. I should know, my ascendant is in Leo. Real Cancerians just like to sulk and they usually have very low self-esteem or they feel very uncertain about themselves.

And I think what you wrote about Taurus women goes more for Cancerian women.

As for the Aquarians, I got to know a lot of them, but that's only natural because they make friends very easily. I even had a very close friendship with one, but I got dissapointed in the end, because I learned that Aquarians only give you the feeling that they are your best friend, but you soon find out that they are like that with everyone and nobody is really special to them except temselves. They put themselves and their freedom first. But that's alright, I suppose, you just mustn't expect much of them because they are incapable of really deep emotions. But don't get me wrong, I just think they feel in a different way, more cool and aloof, which is something I do not understand (I have a Scorpio Moon).

I guess it's the friendship and that special bond that matters to them most. That's why they stay married for so long - in a marriage or a long relationship the passion is eventually (usually) gone and all what's left is friendship and respect and another kind of love. And I agree that you have to be best friends to stay together for so long, so this is positive.

As for Travolta, I heard otherwise.

I just read Mercy's comment - I see you agree with the friendship thing.

It would be interesting to know if you knew the Ascendants of the people you observed. I feel that most of us tend to project our Ascendant sign when we are young but grow into our Sun sign as we mature.

As a Virgo sun, Capricorn Asc, I was much more my ascendant into my 50th year where I started to show my Virgo side. Of course both are Earth signs, so they have a lot in common.

Yep, friends for the Aqua's!
Just goes to show how we should interpret the whole thing when I read the posts through.
Morgana I have to say that <since I have Aqua moon> in my case I am treating everyone like they are *special* as well as you seem to think Aqua Sun's do. But I really feel they are special when I am treating them. They are unique, every beautiful one of them. So this might be seen different in someone else's view but to me I am very genuine. I have also been thinking that some might think:" hey, she is doing it to everyone!" <Cancers then will go sulking >.

I am like:" oooh, look at your shirt and your shiny hair, you look gorgeous!"
And " hey come and drink some coffee with me, what you say sounds interesting" to the next person that comes along. You see them go glowing in the dark and they leave with a smile and greater confidence. Yet I am not an Aqua sun. But it is the equality in it that I actually like so much. May be seen as shallow but I think otherwise. And I am a real flirter (father forgive me) but have nothing in Sag.
As for the Cancers sulking and not banging. Well I know one Cancer who is kind of a typical one. She did bang and curse on occasion but then she has Pluto in 1 just like me and I have Venus in Leo so might that be the drama queen in me....? Well darn I still liked your observations Adamist! And yes Illog also makes you go scratch yourself (on the head that is) again. Ascendants. Argh...I am blank! I think I react too impulsively. Maybe I changed my mind again! Sorry.

Pidaua, Sagitarrians do tend to intimidate me in an odd way...

lllog, I don't know the ascendants for most of the people; it would be very interesting to find out. Generalizing sun signs alone can be very misleading, I agree. I have Pisces rising and most people take me for a Pisces, not an Aquarian, because of my quiet, gentle nature.

Adamist, I agree with most of your observations. My boss is gemini and she is just how you described. My best friend is leo and she is just that way. Sag's do like to flirt! I am and as much as I like to observe, and sometimes keep my distance from others, i am not all that cool and aloof that I often see. All people fascinate me so I don't have too much time to be on my own. I am a little peculiar though, at least according to the rest of the world, but one day they will catch up! haha

My little observations are that Aquarians are night people and prone to drug problems, Virgo's are a little nitpicky but endearing, Libra's magnetic, Leo's even more magnetic, Aries male can be hostile or sexy, Taurus males WILL get what they want, when a Sag has a goal- they acheive it..

what lllog says about growing into our sun signs as we mature is very significant. a scorpio rising tends to make one quiet and i was as a child. i think its energies now are working to 'intensify' my sun.

adamist,

sags do flirt but all in the spirit of fun and love for life, i would say, rather than agenda-ic. and as pidaua says, we're great smilers. folks have commented on how i'm always smiling, i seem not to have any problems. (so they feel they can come dump theirs on me...eww... )

aquarians are stange fellas with that elusive, airy quality. my youngest brother is one and despite taking care of him as a baby i haven't sorted him out yet.

Hi taj,

You have that right about us appearing to be a bit too carefree. I had a Virgo friend of mine bite my head off because he was stressed about something and I came into his office with smile. I was cheery (no sense in being mean) and he said "Why the F*** do you always have a damn smile on your F****** face? Get the hell out of here". We didn't talk for about 5 months. I told him that he was going to die a bitter ugly old man. (As the Archer girls hurls her arrows).

My philosophy was and still is, why should I take out my own stress on someone else? Smiles make everyone feel a bit better and it doesn't hurt me to be friendly. At least not all the time. People do tend to dump their problems on me, which is fine in small doses. After a while, I have to take off and regroup.

Adamist, I hope that our Archer wierdness doesn't scare you off. I think water-bearers are pretty darn cool!!!!

Well, after reading all your comments I thought about it and realized my Scorpio and Leo in me just had to let it all out - both being discordant to Aquarius. I just realized that.

But I've generally always liked Aquarians, I never met one I didn't like and didn't have very interesting conversations with. I just mustn't get deeply involved with them and everything is fine. But that's not their problem, it's mine. I obviously have a lot of work to do on my Aquarius North Node.

Mercy, it's interesting what you said about everybody being special to you because I am very exclusive about people and that's probably the reason I don't understand that and I misinterpret this kind of behaviour. I tend to get deeply involved with all my relationships and friendships, so it's very painful for me when I see that the other side is not as committed as I am.

But don't you all think that it's interesting how dirrerently different signs see other signs?

For example, some see Virgos as dull, some see them as fascinating, some see Leos as charismatic, some see them as just overbearing, etc. It'd be interesting to see in what way different signs see other signs. For example: Leos see Capricorns as, I don't know, too serious, etc. Maybe this would finally be a closer kind of generalization, don't you think? And if not, maybe at least it opens up some new perspectives on seeing other signs.

shine on!

pidua -

Ack, that dude sounds miserable.
I had a similar prob w/ a Cappie I know (but not exactly - I mean, he isn't miserable, he just can't understand the reason I am the way I am).
Some coworkers of ours that are dating continually fight (it's a Taurus/Scorp match-up), and one day they were doing so and I stood obliviously eating M&Ms. The Cap said something like, "Doesn't that bother you? Why don't you say something to them?"
I said, "Well, there's not a whole lot I can do about what they're doing right now; if I try to interfere, they'll both be mad b/c I intruded. Worse, if I take someone's side, I'll still have to deal with the other the rest of the night. Whatever help I can give can be done later, when they're both not so hot...or in the same room.
Besides, these M&M's sure are good. I can't let this get in the way of my tasting good chocolate."
"That's insane."
"Eh. Here, wanna yellow one?"

Hi Adamist
That's interesting you say Scorpio being redheads. I know a lot of Scorps but none with red hair. All the men I know have very dark hair and the women are a mix of blondes and brunettes.

What are everyone elses observations about that?

hmm observations . . . some things i am fairly certain of, regardless of perspective . . . it's the approach . . .

i don't have things "down" for every sign. i like to stay open for possibilities, but can't help seeing patterns . . .

here goes:

people with a taurus sun, moon or rising like to be approached on a "literal" sense. they prefer the delivery of communication---ideas, objects, affection, etc., with substance and it almost always has to be obvious . . . not in an overt way, just "there." they are more comfortable being approached in this manner, than subtle wit or language that requires deep probing. uncertainty, or even the slightest hint of it, makes them insecure because when they are engaged, they like to understand the "whole" and not feel lost at missing a few pieces. the "aesthetics" of life perception do not interest them very much, they way it does for their co-partner libra. they will rarely go out of their way to understand an abstract perception that lies outside their comfort zone.

Pidua do keep on smiling! People having trouble with you smiling are insane!

Morgana, I wanted to tell you that ofcourse there are some that are more special than others. Some make me warm inside much more than others (synastry ). Then there are a lot of people I don't feel anything for but I do treat them with the same behaviour I do with others. That was kind of my point. I would never treat my best friend nicer than someone who just walked in and introduced him or herself as a new 'member'. I find equality just about the most important thing in human relationships. No one must feel left out of the group, I hate that! I never understood the people who only face the ones they feel connected to while talking. I simply detest that! But it also may feel to others that I am somewhat shallow (cannot imagine people thinking that of me 'course I am still Cancer with Virgo Ascendant). So be it, I need to feel the equality of the group. But this has nothing to do with the special feelings I have for the ones who are really in my heart. Although I must admit that my feelings can cool down all of sudden for no appearant reason, I need change as well. Anyway, this is too much about me. I don't like that!

Cat was wondering about the redheads and Scorps. Well I have to say I think red fits Scorps really well. Why? I don't know. Well maybe because they say reds are mysterious. Mmmm...I don't know too many Scorps but there is one woman and she has blond hair and one guy, he is a negro...with <not much hair> and it is black .

Prox, sooo funny, I haven't eaten M&M's for a long time but I just bought them today and eating them tonight and now reading your post. Yam, yam!

Oh now I forgot what I was going to say....

people with libra sun, rising or moon are very, very susceptible to unconsciously achieving *balance* and *harmony* in everything. they have an intrinsic fluid process within that gives them talent in balancing the aesthetics. libra suns are typically placed in situations that are difficult and challenging, that require a fair mediator, such as families. although these three libra positions are quite good at subtle mind manipulation, such as getting people to do things libra wants done, it is just as easy to do the same with them. the two subtle strategies . . . are you ready? (a) if there is an inharmonious situation, think of all the possible solutions first before they get to it. then pick one you like. provide two opposing explanations for it. then subtlety state that in order for the situation to resolve itself fairly, your solution will make the most sense---and they will have to be the ones to execute it to make it "fair." (b) if you do not have an inclination to exert energy, but desire libra to do something, let an inharmonious situation go awry. try not to do anything, like hints and such. they will usually get annoyed and fix the situation themselves because they can't bear a situation that does not flow in sync.

good luck

scorpio sun, moon, and rising are all incredibly good at deflecting the attention away from themselves in any situation---except to the careful eye. when someone catches on, they get frustrated and try even harder, or stay silent. they nearly always calculate every action through a cost-benefit analysis. if something is a cost to them, they will either a) lie, or b) disengage quickly and change the situation to their liking unbeknowst to the listener. master strategists, they operate under fait accompli. control is very important to them. they will almost always take the driver's seat, either subtlety, or overtly.

Proxieme,

Thanks for identifying with it. You have the right idea about not getting involved with the fights and M&M are always a good alternative.

Mercy,

Thanks for the encouragement. I will keep smiling!!


Aphrodite,

Oh you are so right about that Scorpio Sun / Moon, thing. My brother is a Sag with a Scorp moon and he will try hard to act as though nothing bothers him. It drives him crazy that I can look and him and know what he's thinking. Then again, when were kids we would freak out mom and dad by doing little mind reading ESP games. His wife is a Scorp and she is somewhat the same.

Have a great weekend and I will catch up tomorrow.

Blessings!!!
