My son has this ~ he also has Sun/Mercury/Venus in the 8th house. Sometimes I forget he is a small child. He seems so knowing. And he is more emotionally mature than some of the adults in the family. Not that this is hard, if you met them, you'd know just what I meant. *weary sigh*

Capricorn sun / Scorpio rising / Sagittarius moon

on one hand my gemini sun wants to live young and free on the other hand my cap rising makes me serious, dedicated and on time.

I find that I come off as very serious, but once I'm lossend up my gemini side comes out.

My coworkers whould want me to drink with them so I can relax up and show my gemini side.

On my first day of work, my boss gave me tons of responsibility before I had even proven myself. When I asked him for reason, he just said that I look very competent and intelligent so he figures I can handle it.

I get the same also, I was just reassigned to another another department and another office building.

Everyone seams more confident in my abilities then I think I am.

If something goes bad its practically not me that gets blamed even if I stand up and say its my fault things didn't go right.

On the plus side, I sound very authoritative when speaking about any subject--even subjects I know nothing about. This allows me to bluff my way through some sticky situations!

Now there is true potential for a Gemini Sun with Capricorn Rising.

He has Neptune in the first, conjunct his ASC by 2 degrees and also has Sun (Cap) and Mercury (Aqua) in the first. His Saturn is in Sagittarius in the twelfth.

thats more of a gemini mercury thing thought

Astra,

How do you take it when people put to much faith in you. I mean just as I'm leaving buildings I'm told by one of my coworkers we told then we're sending are best.

I'm thinking to myself bs then give a unconvinced grin. Then they try to reasure me.

Do you find yourself loosening up as you get older? I mean theres a reason why I was working with those guys before I left to another building, it was to loosen up a bit.

One of the guys I work with named Jay,the Server technician, still buys commic books and toys, is that acceptable for 30+ maried sagittarian.

In addition, I started going grey at 15 - thank god for hair dye....

However, I'm now starting to find out that it's true what they say about Cap risings lightening up and letting go as they age

Gem Sun myself, but I hate being bluffing my way through anything. I have to feel like I know what I am talking about. It's that Mercury in Taurus tieing me down!

amowls:
That's an interesting picture! LOL. My guess is that the Neptune in first conjunct the ascendant is causing him to live in la-la land, so he's not yet willing to face reality. Mercury in the first gives him traits of Gemini, which can give someone that Peter Pan complex. After all, Gemini is the sign of eternal youth for better or for worse! Hopefully, with maturity and time, he learns to manifest more of the positive qualities of these placements.

Thethirdbenjamin:
When people put so much faith in me, my first thought is: wtf are you guys smoking? When I had zero experience, I was given such an incredible amount of responsibility to the point where if I were to make a mistake, several people would lose their jobs. That's a lot of pressure! This made me very nervous because didn't know what on earth I was doing and was guessing half the time. But it seems like when so many people are depending on me to not screw up, I actually manage to come through and meet (even sometimes, exceed) their expectations, which only confirms their earlier suspicions that I can handle a lot of responsibility.

I guess many Capricorn risings have a lot of self-doubt during their youth (unless they have a very strong Leo influence or something), so this self-doubt causes them to underestimate their own abilities, while outsiders can easily see their potential.

Yes, I'm loosening up as I get older. I was the most cynical and serious child you could ever meet. I didn't smile at all until I was 2 years old! I began planning for college and saving money for my retirement (I thought the whole concept of social security was a lie).

I also balanced my mom's checkbook for fun when I was 6 and for some reason, I always got along better with people that were much older than me than with my peers. I guess this makes sense since most 6 year olds are not interested in balancing checkbooks.

I thought you were alot older, didn't think your in your 20's. So your pretty much around my age.

But, ya I'm pretty much the same with the savings. I've worked hard to try to be one of a few college students not in debt and have enought savings afterwards.

Its ironic because I'm the youngest in my family, so its not expected of me to be the responsible one but when I am I shine thought.

Its always been me being the youngest experiencing some one taking things responsible,

but its changes since my older sister is more of the rebel type even for a 25yrs old and me having everything in order.

One other thing you feel that the rising adds a pessimistic tone?.

I've always felt that half the time I'm expecting things to be alot worst then they really are and always trying to prepare for it.

posted September 23, 2008 08:33 PM         

Yep, I'm 23 years old. I can seem much older than my age or at other times much younger. My goofy and carefree side only comes out when I'm among friends, though I still won't do anything irresponsible even then.

That's really good that you're saving money. Many college students acquire so much debt on their credit cards that by the time they graduate, they're drowning in debt. Credit card companies usually don't care that you have to pay back all of your school loans...

You're the youngest in your family? Me, too! I looked after my older brother when I was a little kid. He's a Cappie rising, too, but I just matured faster than him. However, now, he is very responsible and mature.
Yes, I think Capricorn rising adds pessimism to the personality particularly when you're young. I usually assume that the worst will happen and I constantly worry about the future. My mom is convinced I will get an ulcer by the time I'm 25. Hehe.

I think this pessimism comes about because Saturn, which is the planet of tough lessons, rules Capricorn, so having this rising sign is like having a constant reality check.

The good news is that I have Sun trine Jupiter, so that has made me more optimistic as I've gotten older. However, the Capricorn rising prevents me from becoming blindly optimistic; I'm still well aware of reality.

She looked after me when I was younger, they never rally saw me as capable when I was little then around my teens

it started to change more to how it is in now.

but, thats all changed in the last 5yrs.

I think its has to do with the fact both my folks are cancers.

It's funny how life changes, isn't it? The way we're perceived can change very dramatically throughout our life. I was wondering, have you faced a lot of setbacks since Saturn is your chart ruler?

I noticed with my chart, it seems like I keep getting pulled in a completely different direction than I intended and my life has never gone smoothly. I think maybe this is due to Saturn and Pluto both being in my tenth house. Both of these planets REALLY force me to work extremely hard in life.

posted September 23, 2008 09:44 PM         

I'm Leo Sun, Cap Rising, Cancer Moon...I have a friend who's Aqua Sun, Cap Rising, Leo Moon. We are both extremely responsible and driven in our careers, more than the rest of our charts might indicate.

I get everything done EARLY and do not procrastinate. I've never been in debt (except some student loans that I paid off while I was still in school, so I didn't owe any interest), bounced a check, finshed anything late, or missed an appointment. EVER. Even though other than that, I am a pretty wild and very Leo/Cancer person, doing things like falling in love and running off to travel the world, or following risky dreams. When I am reckless, I do it responsibly.

Wasn't exactly a good year, things just kept on failing for me

I have found one thing always leading to another I set my mind
for a certain path but then that path leads me to another path.

I find that i'm just more volatile to the ebb and flow of things
