The Trust Factor -

a) Trustworthy By Sign
b) Rate Yourself

Example: (me)

a) Aquarius 9 points
b) Crap - And I'm a Libra by the way

a) Taurus

b) 9.26 ~ Taurus

I'd say Cap's and Virgo's are right up there too. Us earth signs are supposed to be the trustworthy ones. I gave myself such a high rating, because I have a Virgo moon and Cap rising. And I consider myself very trust worthy anyway.

AJ

Can you please expand on what you mean by "trust"? Just that there is the trustworthy meaning faithful, or keeping secrets, or keeping secrets and not use them against you in the future, or honesty (like when you ask someone what he thinks of something, is to expect an honest answer, not a "tactful" answer because they don't want to hurt your feelings), or not lie to you about where he's been whether or not you ask (not divulging information that may be relevant is still a lie - a white lie).

"Trust" means whatever you see when you read that word. Write the word down on a piece of paper, and schedule yourself to read it a year or two later. See if you haven't at least added some amendments.

ok... then here is the answer to your question:

1. None - 0 : I believe that it is in human nature NOT to be trustworthy. It is not an astrological question but more of a human nature question. Each sign has a propencity to be untrustworthy. When push come to shove, each person will always put themselves, and their loved ones in front of everyone else.
2. My ranking of trustworthyness depends on who I am with. I can be the most trustworthy person in the whole world or I can be a total ass; it all depends on to whom.

Well. I can't be trusted, so I'll give myself a 10. Cancer. And I DID NOT hit that girl in highschool!

I'm with Miss_muffet's last post.
it depends on the scenario. That being said, stranger or otherwise, people seem to confide in me, and I accept it and keep it to myself. Am I trustworthy in other ways? Usually. It is a great source of internal speculaton and travelling, as my answer deviates from where it would have rested a year and a half ago.

nup.. too many shades of grey.
If you were investigating a murder, for instance, and the only way you could get the killer to confide in you, was to assure him that you would keep it in confidence... but he wouldn't have any ramifications for the crime?
Hell no, you wholeheartedly agree to those terms, leading to the end result that is the 'right' one.. not by trustworthy standards, but by moral ones. You gain his confidence, get the best outcome, and put him away for it.
I realize this is an extreme example, but just wanted to illustrate that the world is many layered, not black and white ( this coming from a multi-fixed chart-holder)

Totally agree PixelPixie,

In the same token, I will wholeheartedly trust my mother with my life, but would I trust her enough to confide all my intimate secrets with her? maybe not.

Gosh, yes!
If I told my mother certain things, even the grocery store clerk would know about them.
Good point!

OH - that is such a horrible "lesson" SOME daughters have to go through, finding out that your mother is not only NOT COOL, but that she will sneak behind your back to read your diary, and then use the information against you ON TOP of that.

I know the way I say it here may make it sound trivial because I'm leaving out all the expletives and sad details I chose not to interject. But it's literally worse than being raped by your own mother - only to be torn away from your sacred true life so that you're ready for a man to rape you.

i get you now...

its like when my friends say 'im insecure' and i clarify that its not overall insecurity becos you are not 'an insecure' you may have SOMETHING you are insecure about, like we all do. so i guess the trust thing is something like that

AJ,

I completely sympathize with you because my mother tried that trick too. Except that I wrote my diary in a foreign language, so she didn't really get anything out of it.

This is also the reason why I do not like reading other people's emails, nor do I like other people to read mine.

I think trust has multiple levels and multiple verticals, just like love.

Yeah, I mean, I never really thought one had to be secretive about having a diary. It's like an oxymoronic.

So -

Diaries are dangerous, thus, I will keep all contents away from you unless you can keep up with the deafening silence of the speed of light.

Now you've created a monster.

I am curious as to why you are doing this AJ?
Keeping a record of everything she posts? Lots of people edit and stuff.... I understand if it was a potentially 'controvertial' thing.. but creating a monster? That's just silly. It's been on like almost every thread tonight that she posted on.....
Am I missing something?
I am like half laughing, half raising my eyebrow, it seems so wierd and silly.
Will you Share the method to this madness??????

I agree with Pixie on this one. It really depends on the situation. Her analogy was a very good one, as well. I'm sure we've all been faced with situations where the 'whole truth' would not have been a good idea... or, in our thinking at the time, wasn't.

Read this today in a play, thought it was fitting:

'There are three realities. My truth, your truth, and Truth. ' -- Tiemo in Marie-Helene Estienne's adaptation of 'Tiemo Bokar' by Amadou Hampate Ba

So, yeah, I'm trustworthy, when it comes down to it. But there have been times in my life where the 'whole truth' did not come out to spare feelings. Probably not the best idea, but my perception of it at the time was that it was better that way. I'm much more honest now, more trusting of other people. Yeah! Hey! That's it! I think you have to trust the other person/s involved to be able to share a truth with them. Not to be too cynical or anything, but you never really know if 'they' are being truthful with you, do you? Unless, of course, you trust them.

Bahh, nevermind me. I've had too much going on in my brain today... feeling WAAAAY too analytical. LOL

In all honesty...

Sign I would trust the most - *thinking, thinking... processing all cumulative life experience... thinking some more* - a tie between my fellow Aquarians ans Scorpios.

Both signs have a passionate zeal that is expressed in different ways, but in my experience... it bodes well for honesty.

Like, most all the Aquarians I personally know are so haughty and even arrogant about their personal integrity and personal ideals, it would pain them to lie... they would tell you what they did or said and why and to add insult to injury, they'd likely be self-righteous about it too and tell you it's for your own good. Same with Scorpio, except Scorpio would get swept up in a storm of Plutonian fury and indignation and take it all very personally... and niether sign if they truly love you, would ever set out to hurt you or purposely fail to protect you. I give them both a 9.

How do I rate myself? An 8. I try hard, but I'm nowhere near perfect.

Oh... I've had my mother read my diary. I locked myself in my room, moved the couch over my door and didn't come out for three days. They were afriad I was dead.
