Based on psychology, experts say that there are many aspects of a person's personality. On this forum especially, I am so used to hearing things like:"Well I more Piceas than I am libra", or "I am more like my Moon/Asc sign than my Sun sign". They say that there are 4 major aspects of personality: 1. the looking glass self- how OTHER people see you 2.The REAL self- how you REALLY are deep down inside 3.The self identity self- how YOU see yourself and finally 4. the ideal self- how YOU'd like to be seen.I have a question for everyone. which sign(s) would you describe to be your REAL SELF, your SELF-IDENTITY SELF,and which signs to be your LOOKING GLASS SELF and your IDEAL SELF? me personally, it would be as follows: 1.my looking glass self: Saggitarius 2. My Real self: Cancer(cause its my sun sign- what i was destined to be) 3. my self identity self: Aries and my ideal self: would be Aquarius pls feel free to psot your remarks and comments! thank you!

1. looking glass self: I've gotten a few different replies over the years on who I am. It seems to be mostly Taurus. Although people don't understand why I can be so talkative and weird! So yeah, Taurus! 2. Real Self: Virgo (it's my Sun, and how I feel a lot of the time when alone) 3. Self-identity self: I see myself as a mix between Taurus, Libra and Virgo. 4. Ideal Self - hmm...I'd have to say Libra/Taurus mix.IP: Logged |

oooh..VERY cool topichhm..let's see 1. others see me as a libra/aquarius/scorpio..really nice and friendly and out there, but also very very erm.."sensual" 2. At the end of the day, I am an Aquarius through and through (also my sun sign..I'm noticing a pattern here) 3. I see myself as being quite Aquarian but I also notice a lot of Leo in there...dramatizing my emotions and life...casting myself and everyone in the movie of my life 4. Ideally, I would be a Pisces- one who is in their last human incarnation- almost out of the grips of Samsara, having learned all the lessons..all but one (the most difficult of course)...I'd also like more Scorpio IP: Logged |

1. some have guessed Aries or Scorpio, but most claim I have to be a fire sign (Scorpio excluded) 2. I am Saggitarius 3. I think of myself more Capricorn during "phases" or Taurus in a better mood 4. I would like to be Pisces, but I'd settle for AquariusIP: Logged |

Way cool, passionfruit3000!1. looking glass self-- Aquarius and Leo (sun and moon) 2. real self-- hmm... kinda hard, mostly Aquarius, but also a lot of Libra (sun/merc/mars in Aqua, jup/sat/pluto in Libra) 3. self identity self-- this would be either Aquarius, or strangely enough... Cancer 4. ideal self-- jeez... I don't know. Some days Saggie, some days Pisces... other days, a nice, wrinkly old Aquarian. I may have to have a good long think about this, I may change my answers.

1. Looking glass self - this is a hard one... i'm different things to different people. to my family - aries. to my friends - leo/sag. when i'm weird - capricorn.2. The REAL self - I think my sun and rising are a spot on description of the "real me" - very Aquarian with strong notes of Libra. 3. The self identity self - My sun/moon/rising... With a dash of Scorpio. I can be extremely intense, passionate, sexual, wrathful... my anger is truly something to be feared. and finally 4. the ideal self - I'd keep my Aquarian core, and maybe I'd have Leo rising and a Sag moon. I love how Sag moons express their emotions, how idealistic they are, etc. Leo moons too. My mum is a Sag moon, my Dad and my little brother Leo moons. I think Leo rising is similar to Libra rising, just with a bit more spunk, lol. But I'm happy the way I am really. I had to think about that last one hard. IP: Logged |

You know what Ghani? I was going to say Cancer for that question too and then I though, oh nooo! That's just too weird! LOL.It's weird that you're an Aquarius and you said something similar. IP: Logged |

Looking Glass: After a warm-up period: Gemini (my sun)or Leo (MC)...I'm quite loud and talkative As the new one in the group: Scorpio (watchful, sizing everything up, a bit reserved). I have an 8th house sun.Real self: Gemini and Taurus (my moon)--lots of ideas, but hard to motivate myself to start things. Once I start tho, I don't get stopped too easily. Also, I'm quite strongwilled (no, not stubborn!! lol) for a gemini How I see myself: Libra (rising). I feel I lack decision-making skills (if I say that tho I get wierd looks from others), have no get-up-and-go, and that I'm not very colourful. Lots of self-doubt and insecurities.
How I would like to be seen: as a true gemini or Leo--self-assured, larger than life, cheeky, but loved for it.

1. the looking glass self- how OTHER people see you Virgo - modest, shy, analytical. Can be counted on difficult situation. I have Virgo Moon & Virgo Asc. (29 deg)2.The REAL self- how you REALLY are deep down inside Capricorn - my Sun. I know where I want to be going, I know I'll reach there. Since my objectives (or rather what I consider important, love to do, etc.) have very little to do with money, status and other stuff usually associated with Cappy's, people often fail to realize how much I put into my goals. 3.The self identity self- how YOU see yourself and finally Aww, I'm not sure I get the difference between 'REAL self' and 'self identity self'. But I'd say my identity is Plutonic, so Scorpio. I have Pluto aspects all over the place and these aspects give continuous opportunities for renewal in every facet of life. 4. the ideal self- how YOU'd like to be seen. Libra - beautyful and capable for creating harmony. Aqua - brilliant & creative. (NN in Aqua/5th) That's what I miss most.
That was fun! Thanks for cool idea.

very cool thread Looking glass self ~ Sagitarius (my rising)Real Self ~ Aries (my Sun) to independant Self Identity ~Pisces (only because my ruling planet is in the 12th house) understanding metaphysics is a large part of my life and beliefs. Ideal Self ~ Taures (my Moon) possesing a calmness not found with fire. IP: Logged |

1. the looking glass self- how OTHER people see you- ARIES (my SN is Aries- could that be why?) 2.The REAL self- how you REALLY are deep down inside-CANCER (my moon-makes sense) 3.The self identity self- how YOU see yourself- LEO (my sun) and finally 4. the ideal self- GEMINI (my rising)-Thanks for bringing this up- I hadn't actually thought about it like this before. I've learned something valuable out of all this.. Cool

1. The Looking Glass Self: Virgo (my rising)Im not a neat freak or a perfectionist but I know that people think of me as a goodie/goodie two shoes. 2.The Real Self: Leo(my sun sign)I usually stiffle my flamboyant Lionish ways when Im around people but deep down inside I know I crave the center of attention just like any other Leo. 3. The Self-Identity self: Scorpio(my moom sign)I like to see myself as deep, intuitive, and mysterious like the scorpio. 4. My Ideal Self: Honestly, my ideal self wouldnt be just one sign but to be able to master all the good qualities of all the signs Ive already mentioned. IP: Logged |

This is really cool !1. the looking glass self- how OTHER people see you Either Aquarius or Scorpio depending on how well they know me. I have an 11th house Sun and Venus and even though I don't consider myself to be too Aquarian I could come accross that way. Scorpio only because people have guessed me to be that (Pluto singleton, 8th house Moon...could be why) 2.The REAL self- how you REALLY are deep down inside I feel like saying Capricorn (my moon's in cappricorn + mars and neptune) but I deffinetly see the Aries in me. Prolly a combo of Aries and Cappy deep inside..I can't really pick between the two 3.The self identity self- how YOU see yourself I see myself as really weird lol. I'm not sure. If I had to pick one sign I guess, I'd have to say Aries but I don't totally see myself as that (well not the typical arian descriptions anyways). This is a hard one, I'm not really sure I see myself as any one sign, come to think of it now (i think this also goes for the "deep down" Q)...but I'll stick with Aries 4. the ideal self- how YOU'd like to be seen.
I'd like to be seen professional and dignified as a Capricorn and friendly as an Aqua (I'm working on that) great idea passion fruit..it was food for thought IP: Logged |

1. the looking glass self- how OTHER people see youThink most people see me as my rising sign, Cancer (tied to my family); or my sun sign, Virgo (shy, serious, always working) 2.The REAL self- how you REALLY are deep down inside Pisces - my moon sign is very true to me -I think my "inner self" is the real me, I just dont always show it to others. 3.The self identity self- how YOU see yourself A mixture of both Virgo and Pisces, mostly. and finally 4. the ideal self- how YOU'd like to be seen. Pisces, or I'd love to be a cool, follow-your-own-lead Aquarian, or a powerful, intense Scorpio - I think I must lack those qualities the most as I so admire them. thank you! IP: Logged |
