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.

oooh..VERY cool topic

hhm..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

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 Aquarius

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

1. the looking glass self- how OTHER people see you

Think 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!
