OK, has anyone ever noticed traits about the signs that have NOT been written about, but that you have noticed through life experience. For example I have noticed that a few Geminis are really concerned about health, food and hygiene to the point that it can interfere with their life. Strangely, I have noticed that Virgos seem to want to finish off your sentences for you!! (lol)

We could start to cut forward with astrological analysis and highlight some new areas.

Does anyone have any thoughts or experiences - I would say you should have noticed the trait in more than one person of the same sign. It could be anything that you've noticed about any sign through your own experience but not through someone elses words.

Look forward to reading posts

I guess I dont find those traits too surprising, SS, looking at the qualities behind the signs....Geminis are ruled by Mercury (Hermes) whose rulership over health and medicine is just as important as the communication aspect...and as for Virgos finishing your sentences, they also are ruled by Mercury. Virgos process info really fast, and altho its rude (!!) they probably just want to get to the point.

It does kind of fit both of those signs doesnt it and its something Ive noticed occuring naturally rather than reading about it and then putting that template over people you meet.

Id be really interested if anyone has every has similar (I dont mean noticed same traits in Virgos or Geminis) but has found some quirk about any signs that hasnt been written about.

After all, how did Linda write her books. So much of her vast insight must have been from observing and studying the psychological aspects of people of each sign before she delved deeper into the planetary and chart aspects - a full life's work I might add.

I suppose in a way we are paying respect to Lindas amazing work by in some very small way contining it.

I dunno - what do you think - anyone noticed anything?

Hiya SoulSis, cool topic.
Actually, almost all Taurean woman that I know are quite vulnerable and nervous, slightly insecure too, but also headstrong and stubborn like the usual sun sign traits, but I've never seen anywhere that they are nervous people!! Has any1 else noticed this?
I also noticed Cancer woman I know (particulary the younger ones) are really dreamy and dippy, not staying on one subject at a time, and often seem 'away with the fairies' like a Pisces or Aquarian.
Also they seem to be obssesed with love and flirt with everyone all the time!
The other recurring trait Ive noticed is that a couple of Aqua guys are often very serious, grumpy and factual, not like the usual ones!!!
Im glad I found this thread though as I have wondered about these traits that I keep seeing!!!

Thats interesting Sunscorp. I dont actually know that many Taurean women, in fact I dont think I have ever known any very well. I will certainly look out for this though. I agree about Cancer though, they can seem quite flimsy somehow (sorry dont mean to insult the Cancerians out there - we know that you are tough cookies really).

But I do really really agree with the Aquarius thing and not just the men, although I have often read that they can be a mixture of Capricorn (Saturn being their original ruler). I'll be honest and say that I have yet to meet a wacky, eccentric Aquarian. The ones I know can be a little off the wall in their humour, quite dry and sarcastic but like you say, quite factual and literal, emotionally cold (seemingly) and detached. I've yet to meet the roller skating space cadet types yet!!

Well I have found that almost every Pisces girl I've ever met..for some reason it seems to be more a female thing- can sing really well and has an unusual singing voice- really unique and beautiful. I have also noticed that most of the seriously depressed people I know are Virgos, usually with water moons. One more thing I can think of- I find that Tauruses are your friends even if you don't see them for months or years, and you just suddenly reappear and they take you back like you never left. I've had that happen with 3 very different Bulls.

Never heard the Pisces thing before Whiterabbit, I will look out for that. I immediately get an image of the Pisces mermaid siren with a hauntingly beautiful song.

Taureans are infinately loyal people arent they. Again, I dont know many women but I do know men who are like this.

Whats interesting here is the Virgo thing - I have to agree with you there. I know 2 Virgos who have suffered enormous stress trying to beat their inner demons and have fallen into very deep depressions. One I know in particular is still trying to find her way out of the woods - I hope she continues to fight - she has my support.

This is an interesting point though - Ive read much about the Capricorn black moods but never the Virgoan. Is it the weight of the earth I wonder?

I had a conversation about the black moods last night. I'm actually a Virgo who goes through pretty cyclical depressions (no water moon though). The problem is inner demons/trying to figure out what I really want out of life. I know of a bipolar Virgo also, and his depressions are very deep.

I also know a bipolar Capricorn! The thing is, the Cappy's I've known seem to give off this air of miserableness almost all the time. And I've also found them to be the darkest in most terms, even darker than Scorpios (Marilyn Manson is a Cappy!).

I wanted to say something about male Libran intelligence...I've always found it odd and it doesn't seem to be in the astrology books. All the ones I met...love to debate however I always see through their knowledge of the subjects. It's as if they cover up their sharp, narrow knowledge of a subject with that Libra balance. And every one I've met has thought they were the biggest critic (of cultural events). No Virgo influence in the one I know who writes movie reviews for fun (we usually argue over which ones are good).

Thats an interesting point about the male Libra thing Virgo but Im not sure Im fully with you - do you mean they dont seem to know much about the topic they are discussing or do you mean that they do but they cover it up? Sorry, bit confused but very interested in your thoughts. Also, the cultural affairs critic - is this Libra or Virgo?

I thought about this more while I was making lunch . What I think I notice about male Libras, they're knowledge in a lot of things, but usually that knowledge seems to be biased towards their interests only. I always thought that was strange as I read that they're good at seeing both sides of an arguement.

Unless I'm just attracting male Libras with similar traits haha! Oh, the Libran I have most of his chart info for only has Jupiter in Virgo, but I don't know his rising sign. Maybe I'm attracting Libras with lots of Virgo! Eeeek!

OK - I getya now. Hmmm, Im trying to think if I've noticed the same. I get the charm thing with the Libran male more than the intellect thing. Not that they arent intelligent because they clearly are, but they do big up the charm thing.

I know that Librans tend to, a little like their Aquarian air cousins, adopt a cool cause. Their fights for injustice just happens to coincide with the latest trends! (Myself included here if Im totally honest!!!!).

Maybe its because you are argueing with the Libran from one side and therefore he is 'balancing' by keeping to one side of the arguement. If you played the devils advocate he may suddenly switch sides. I dunno, Im not negating what you're saying, just thinking aloud. I will definately look out for this.

Ooh ooh ooh!! Just remembered somethin else whilst reading the replies, Ive noticed Cappys are very romantic, maybe quietly romantic but still... not something you would attribute to them. Remember reading an interview with Cappy M. Manson, he said he was very romantic, also Orlando Bloom who I think just looks very romantic!!!

Oh yes Im with you there SS. They are deeply deeply romantic, a little awkward with it but that just adds to their charm. They will gaze into your eyes, bring you flowers and even read you poetry (albeit a little stiffly and it will be classical of course). I had some richly romantic moments with my Capricorn lover that were just beautiful. We couldnt relate on any other level incidentally but the romance was just perfect!!!

You are right though I havent seen this written about.

One other thing I always think about the Capricorns I know. Its not that they dont want to have fun, it more like they are on the sidelines at a party and they desperately want to join in but somehow they just 'cant'. I said this to my Capricorn sister once and she just burst into tears and said it was exactly right and thats when they adopt the pragmatic approach, it gives them a purpose while they are still working out how to 'free themselves up' a bit like everyone else.

Thay are also very shy - bashful almost - but I think this is well documented.

Some great points coming out here.

I agree. I've also noticed (only the male ones, might I add), that they are very self centered. In many ways similar to their opposite sign, Aries. And are very, "poor me". And can be almost as emotional as Cancers. I've been very close to four Libra males in my life and they all exhibit these traits. The ones I know, have Scales that swing wildly up and down. Moody little buggers.

Everything said about Tauruses here, I think, is right on.

Oh, I agree about the Librans!! Also noticed the male ones can be very sexist... almost to the extent of being misogenist (spelt?!). Im not sure if this is one of their sun sign traits, maybe its the scales swinging opposite of loving woman???
What do you guys think?

Hmm, let's see..well, some of this isn't bad, and some it isn't flattering, but here I go...

I have seen a tendency among Cancer women to be very sympathetic toward gays and lesbians, even when they are heterosexual (like my best pal - she refers to gays as "my people" as she's hang around them some much), and whereas I've seen a tendency among hetero Cancer men to be deeply homophobic (this includes every Cacner guys I've regrettably dated and one my closest friends).

I've noticed some Cancer men have a liking for practical jokes - either they like to play them or find them very funny. However, this doesn't extend to having practical jokes being played on them.

I've noticed Gems tend to attract mentally unstable people the way Pisces attract parasitic people. I'm a stalker magnet myself.

Aquas, I've observed, can have a lot of repressed anger and rage. This strikes me as somewhat Saturnine. Almost all of my 7 stalkers to date were Aquas. How scary is that?

I've found that Taurus and Gem's with a lot of Taurus in their chart tend to take everything WAY too personally and in turn have to act on that feeling of persecution, either by being emotional or being sarcastic. This is why I can't talk to my mother (who's Gem on the Taurus cusp) or one of my aunts (who's a Taurus) about a lot of things.

Also, Pisces men are probably the most mechanically disinclined men on the planets. God, don't ever ask them to help you change flat tire. Really. I know this from experience. In fact, don't let them touch anything in your car short of the stereo and the door handle (you might want to fasten their seatbelt for them, however).

I personally don't think Caps are really dark, but excessively, disproportionately bitter? Oh yeah. Brian Wagner, aka Marilyn Manson - since he was mentioned - is a good example. He goes around trying to be all ghouish about how anti-Chrisitan he is, and it's just laughable to me. He claims he went to a "very strict" Catholic high school, where he learned the true hypocrisy of Christianity. Yeah, whatever. His high school was co-ed and didn't require uniforms - in terms of Catholic schools, that's practically bacchanal. So I think he's just bitter about world not bowing to his feet or soemthing like that. I'm not impressed.

Aliestar Crowley was far more darker than Manson could ever hope to be, and he was a Libra with a Pisces moon.

I've mentioned this here before, and it peeved some people, but I'm gonna say it again: Sag moons are prone to God complexes. Yep, you heard me. I've known a few too. Few astrologers want to mention it because it ticks off Sag mooners, and who wants to willingly provoke the wrath of God?

Soulsista what you said about Libra males sort of fits my dad. He's a Libra and he studied and worked in a very narrow field. He's very intelligent, but there's so few things he's really interested in - human anatomy (he was an anatomist), the History Channel and Animal Planet pretty sum up the scope of his interests. He has a difficult times seeing other people's points of view or considering other's ways of doing things. He's immoveable in a lot ways, which, unfortunately, has hurt our family badly over the years, as we have had to deal with the bad choices he has made as the result of not considering other options. He wants to do everything the same way, every time, unless it utterly blows up in his face. And once he gets an impression about someone or something in his head, he won't change for the world. My dad's an extreme negative example of the Libran's anxiety about making choices and initating changes (which is the result mostly of his childhood).

Nearly every other Libran I've met, male or female, have been exceptionally flexible and open-minded, although most have been intellectuals or academics, so they also have backgrounds of intense, specific study in a certain area.

hm...I'm a virgo and with a scorip moon. I agree with what you guys are saying. Somtimes virgos can be the most depressed because they are their own worse critic. They pick things apart and play it in their head over and over again.
Just last week, I stressed myself out to the point where i wasnt eating healthy or eating nothing at all..cause i was soo stressed. wasnt taking care of myself....just went into bad depression. I've taken some time off to myself....so I'm alot better.
I think the problem with virgos...they dont take time for themselves. And they make themselves work too much or think too much...and thats how the stress/depression starts.

jessica simpson anyone?

i don't know if the libra i know is a freak or not but he was very much a homebody. they always say libra are "social creatures" but i saw the exact opposite. and they can be finiky just like a virgo.

i've also noticed some geminis that get very mad if you ever try to say they are wrong. they do take everything very personal. maybe that's just the girls though. and they also harbor crushes for years on end but are too shy to ever tell anyone about them and would just die if you knew. they also ingore/avoid people they like just like an aqua.

I will add my 2 cents.

Virgo men OCD central. I have dated more than a few and all have had some strange ocd quirks. One actually had to have is grooming products set up at a 90 degree angle to his mirror and vacuuming had to be done exactly right. YIKES

Scorpio has similar ocd stuff but not generally about things more mental or internal ocd. Obsession with death and the afterlife.

I am dating a cappy now and have notice that the are all have been pretty good mechanically and totally agree with the romantic stuff, which i am totally surprised by .. .I get the surprise flowers, text messages to wake up to etc., Also there is a strange openness about them, willing to share whatever you are willing to ask. nice trait however the ones (cappies) i have dated talk about sex using the most vulgar terms and i must say it almost offends my Libra rising and Venus in Libra. Any one else notice this?

This trait has been written about in certain books but I guess I just wanted to make it clear again - despite that Virgos can be critical, they're just as or even more critical of themselves, and any criticism directed towards them can deeply wound them. (Constructive criticism even isn't that well-taken due to the perfectionism in Virgo).

Capricorns and sex - OMG!! They are horny little devils. They seem to treat it almost impersonally - I know exactly what you mean about treating and speaking about it in very vulgar terms.
