I am perpetually being mistaken for...a Cancer! Though my horoscope shows no connections to the sign whatsoever. Maybe it's the fact that I have a generous 3 planets in Pisces, am pale, have long fair hair and am slightly "ethereal"-looking. I don't know! (Seriously, do I come across as a Cancer in my typings???) Some people have thought I was Pisces or Virgo - now that I CAN relate to (Moon, Venus and Jupiter in Pisces, Virgo Ascendant). NEVER Aries. (We're actually quite difficult to guess - but look for the slighter-than-usual figure and the fine bone structure, like an Arab horse. And, in women, the pointed chin.) Anyone ever had their sign guessed CORRECTLY?

Heres something funny........people constantly guess me as a Fire Sign. Always.I am Virgo with 6 planets in Libra...I have almost NO fire in my chart. Talk about overcompensation.... MK IP: Logged |

AriesTiger -You mean, they base this on just their first impressions of you, or your looks, rather than your personality or the way you are? I was thinking, maybe that combination of Pisces w/Virgo influences makes you seem like Cancer because maybe you like to dote? ------------------ it's better to light a candle than curse the darkness...

I'm most mistaken for Scorpio.I'm a Libra Sun, Cancer Moon, Venus in Virgo, Mercury/Mars/Neptune in Scorpio girl, is maybe why. People consistently say that I'm very mysterious, and that's even after they've known me for some time. And I'm honestly not like trying to put that vibe out at all. I think even if I let my 5th House Sun and Uranus in Leo shine on occasion, I STILL have this mysterious vibe happening. If I were to connect an exact attitude or thought to this, maybe it's because I see SO MUCH in people and I withhold a reasonable degree of my interpretation from them. I reserve the right to gather my thoughts and opinions until such time that I am ready and/or capable of expressing anything. Part of it may also be the Socratic Libra in me. You DO know what I mean by that, dont'cha? My brown Moon in Cancer eyes probably contributes. Venus is Virgo also causes me to put out a subtle lady-like or glam side. Think Lauren Bacall in her day. "You DO know how to whistle, don't you?" Yup Yup - that's me. And maybe combine that with my seething Scorpio passions being all confined and controlled, and I guess that makes me appear kind of steamy even when I don't feel that way. ------------------ it's better to light a candle than curse the darkness...

I'm always mistaken for an Aquarius or a Pisces. My rising sign is Aquarius, but I have nothing in Pisces ... although I do have Neptune in the 10th house. As far as I can remember, no one's ever guessed I'm a Saggie (which I am).IP: Logged |

I've been mistaken as a Virgo and also a Leo. I can see the virgo part because I have it in murcury, mars and pluto. Also my Mom is a Virgo, so the "clean" appearance part and manners probably rubbed off on me!? Leo, well it's my descendant and I have nothing else in it. Most say I have Leo eyes. I read also that the descendant represents our relationships with those around us and what we project on to others, so maybe that's why? What's even funnier, is when I was younger a guy asked me if I was part Chinese because of my eyes. I don't look at all Chinese but I read that my sun sign Libra gives people the feeling of the Orient(I think it was in Love signs?)Autumn IP: Logged |

Yeah, I think Libra rules the Orient. There's a lot of philosophical balance.But Pisces' & Cancers can be the true geisha's and concubines. IP: Logged |

I'm usually mistaken for a quiet Sagittarian- though I don't have a Sagitarrian planet in my chart. I don't know my house positions, but I'm guessing I might have a few planets in the 9th house. I'm a Pisces/Libra Moon.------------------ "Out of your depth or not, it's up to you whether you sink or swim." IP: Logged |

Only one person has ever even tried to guess my sign, and he guessed it right! He was just a dude passing through my checkout lane when I worked in a department store in highschool, and he was buying an astrology book. So, I said (pretending to be an astrology dunce, and saying what had been said to me countless times) "You believe in that stuff?" and he said kind of sheepishly "Uh, well yeah", I said "Hm" He said "what sign are you?" I said "Take a guess". He said "Leo". I was impressed. Then I asked him what sign he was and he told me he was a Taurus. It was cool, because I was the only person that I knew in the whole world who was interested in astrology at the time.IP: Logged |

Before I knew my time of birth, my astrology teacher was convinced I had Aquarius rising. I have absolutely no air in my chart,and my rising sign is Leo.Pluto in Virgo in the 1st, conjunct the rising, people sometimes see me as a Scorpio. I have a penetrating stare. I'm an Aries, btw, sun, merc and venus all in Aries. Moon and Jupiter conjunct in Cappy. IP: Logged |

Most people think I'm a Cancer, but I'm a Virgo! I can't remember what exactly it was in my chart that gives me Cancerian traits...I think it might have actually been Moon in Taurus. I'll have to look again, but I must have that emotional/weirdness that a lot of the Cancers I know give off!IP: Logged |

Trillian,LOL...can you believe it..ME TOO - about the Scorp thing. I had an astrology stop me and ask if I was a Scorp. LOL..that was before I knew so much about rising signs and conjunctions of various planets. Mostly the scorp thing comes from my gaze as well. Alot of people that know astrology guess that I am a Sag. I did sit next to a psychiatrist on a plane that was also into astrology and metaphysics tell me he first thought I was either a Virgo or a Pisces, but then he figured there was some fire under that. LOL... IP: Logged |

Hi Gloria, *they base this on your first impressions of you, or your looks, rather than your personality or the way you are* Well - YES - (people are shallow!)but my "first impressions" are distinctly un-Arian. In real life, when I first meet people, I am apparently very reserved, "standoffish", so some people call it, and don't say much. This isn't because I'm unfriendly, but because I like to stand back and assess the situation, see what people have to say before jumping in with both feet (Virgo ascendant, maybe?). I have a "caring" side to me, I do like to be of assistance, and I'm aware that maybe that comes over very strongly. About the "emotional/weirdness" mentioned by Merkat - well, I suspect I give some of that off...I am fairly sensitive-looking!!! Maybe that's why I used to attract Cancerians and Scorpios as friends, and they ended up disgruntled because they thought I wasn't being sensitive enough...! It's been interesting to watch the reaction of several Leos when I've told them I'm an Aries. If there was a rapport before, it's been instantly doubled. Has anyone ever guessed anyone's sign correctly? I correctly guessed my husband's (Aqua) when I saw him for the first time...and also a family friend born on the Capricorn/Aqua cusp. Some Cancerians are pretty easy to guess as well... IP: Logged | |
