Researching Veritas. I just found that I have Veritas conjunct Ascendant. Does this mean that I look honest to people, that they can trust me? IP: Logged |

I have a huge first house stellium plus a lot of Jupiter trines. For the most part, I'm pretty transparent and blunt - if I don't like something it's all over my face! I also have Mercury conj Uranus in Libra in 1st which can be extremely blunt regardless of feelings. I do not, however, betray confidences of friends, it's more like, my personal opinions/information.The main lie I would ever tell is exactly as others mentioned, a reason for not going out or to spare someone's feelings - even then I feel pretty guilty. I have met a few pathological liars and it was the mercury neptune square that stood out the most. Mars/neptune contacts I would also watch out for. To be honest, I do not jibe well with a lot of Pisces/Neptune or 12th house energy in general. I have very direct, clear energy and forthrightness is a big deal to me so heavy neptune or ambiguity is the least comfortable to me. I do have Neptune in the 3rd but that mostly means you think in pictures & symbols and love music and film and visual arts. The folks that have mostly lied to me have had Mercury in Gemini, opposite my Neptune in Sag. To be fair, I think it made it harder for me to be straightforward with them also which is bizarre since I'm usually very forthcoming. I would also find that we would in general mis-hear or misunderstand a lot. Annoying aspect. I have a lot of air in my chart so I do find Gemini energy to be charming but a bit mischevious and dishonest at times - I have trust issues there. (I would not date a guy with Venus or Mars in Gemini again - I'm earth and water in those areas - and I think they inherently have trouble sticking to one person.) I also heard that Mercury square Mars in synastry indicates that one or both of you will take each other for a ride and sure enough, I have had definitely had problems with men with Mars in Cap around 24-27 degrees squaring my Mercury in Libra. They were NOT coming from a good place - at least with me anyway! Have also heard about the swindle and lie asteroids tho' can't say I know much about 'em. ;}

I think most people aren't gullible. I said I think. So in theory that would be a reason for me not to lie because I don't think they'd believe me in the first place. IP: Logged |

I'm pisces with neptune aspects to merc and I can't lie half as well as a 12th house sun, in my experience.
LOL, interesting take.  IP: Logged |

It's a Neptune thing, and probably a Venus thing too. Venus gives you charm or makes people find you likeable; Neptune gives you the ability to snow people with your presence, gives a certain charisma that makes it more likely to be a successful liar and con-artist too. Pluto probably plays a part in terms of charisma too.Mercury-Neptune gives the actual tendency toward telling lies. Jupiter well-placed probably gives the ability to make yourself look very above-board and honest, even if you're lying a blue streak. In my own chart, "Hermes" forms about a two degree opposition to my North Node; "Veritas" is in my first house and trines my moon and the asteroid "DNA"; "Peitho" trines "Veritas" and the moon. It's pretty spot on - at times I can have a way with words (Peitho), but I'm not really the type to use that in a dishonest manner or to manipulate people, like the opposition to my North Node points out. I'm assuming I did that in a past life, and got spanked by the universe for it, so I came into this incarnation pretty genuine in that respect. IP: Logged |

I'm a really good liar, I can easily manipulate people and find out what I want and I could admit I'm cunning. (but I have never used these skills to harm anyone, mostly to get what I want)I have: Mercury quincunx Jupiter Mercury conjunct Uranus Mercury conjunct Neptune I checked out the asteroids you mentioned: Peitho trine Moon Peitho sextile Venus Peitho oposses ASC (wide opposition) Peitho quincunx Veritas Veritas conjunct Pluto Veritas trine Hermes Veritas sextile Neptune Veritas sextile Uranus Veritas quincunx Moon Hermes trine Pluto Hermes sextile Neptune Hermes sextile Uranus Hermes quincunx Moon Hermes trine Chiron Hermes quincunx Moon IP: Logged |

Just looked up the asteroids. Veritas in Libra conj Sun/Pluto in 1st. Peithos conj Mars in Taurus in 8th, Hermes in Aquarius in 5th trine Mercury & MC. Pretty much all about getting down to brass tacks. Would be horrid in the creative "fiction" department but am pretty good at sniffing things out. Ha! IP: Logged |

When I was young, lying was pretty much second nature. But as I got older the guilt piled on. I usually will not lie anymore except if it's a white lie that doesn't make a huge difference.ie Mom: Did you do your homework? Son: (on Facebook) Yes.... (Homework halfway attempted) Mom: ook  Those kind of lies. I wouldn't tell someone I love them and I didn't and I hate leading people on. I don't like to force people to do something they don't want to even if I can do it gently (persuasion). I whine sometimes when I don't get my way... but it's a gross feeling if I wind up getting it. I own up to my mistakes. Lying also makes me physically uncomfortable. Well, except for those useless lies. Veritas opposite Sun, square Moon, trine Mars, square Peitho. Peitho square Sun, conjunct Moon Hermes sextile NN and Peitho, square ASC Oh... I do lie about feeling okay when I'm clearly not. IP: Logged |
