I don't know about you but I am MUCH more like my Moonsign (Pisces) than Sunsign - not at all like typical Aries I know, the energy is way different. It could be compounded by the fact that my Venus and Jupiter are also in Pisces, I give off a lot of Neptunian energy and have been "guessed" as either a Virgo (my rising sign) or Pisces, or Cancer, I am very delicate/ ethereal-looking and sensitive, and much more prone to moodiness and needing to *recharge* than most Aries I know.

I've known a lot of other Pisces Mooners and without exception we are ALL caring/emotional, love staying in contact with people (and get upset when they don't reciprocate), usually very artistic, neurotic, liable to have several different relationships throughout our lives/ commitment phobic, very physically attractive and sexy/ into pleasing a partner, intuitively intelligent, capable, adaptable and flexible. Deceptive streak. Slightly *dangerous* because of all the above qualities!!!!!

Aries Moons are very success-driven, usually successful in anything they apply themselves to (academe, business or otherwise); uphold high standards, love sex, busy people, good people to have in authority, work and play hard (good work/ life balance), good decision-makers, cut-and-dried views.

Taurus Moons are not usually particularly driven, academic or ambitious, they like food, animals, nature, are quite happy to find a comfortable rut and stick to it. Have a strong sense of entitlement and often end up being *cared for* by others, especially in a material sense (slight sense of laziness here?).

Leo Moons prefer others to do most of the work - popular, good conversation partners and good sense of humour, I find they can be good friends but a little critical. Love food and are liable to weight gain. Strong sense of "ME".

Sadge Moons: Active, sporty, cheerful, breezy, champion networkers, don't like negativity AT ALL, always see glass as half full rather than half empty, brutally frank and open, unfaithful, at heart not domestic, good sense of humour. I do love these guys!!!

Aqua Moon: Good at garnering popular appeal - a lot of celebrities have this placement, very intelligent and often academically so, can be ground-breakingly creative, unusual relationships to others/ lifestyle? Can be difficult to get to know (unless other placements suggest otherwise).

That's just my take. Feel free to add agreement/ objection where necessary.

Love,

Ascendant, is the outer personality we show to the world, while the sign the ruling planet (ASC RULER) is in shows what you are like deep down.

While these sun sign books (ta Linda) are very informative, they look at personality from a planet point of view as opposed to a houses point of view.

You need to start looking at astrology from a house point of view.

I look like a Leo, and my interests are all Leo interests and 8th house interests (my Leo Sun is in the 8th, but I'm not that Scorpionic, I'm just so interested in sex, death, mysteries, deep research, psychology, the subconscious)...and then Leo interests (true love, theater, the arts, fun).

Possibly, but that is tooting my own horn too much

For me, my moon is in taurus in the 12th house and my ascendant is taurus but my mars is right smack on my ascendant. Personally, I feel that none of the descriptions of taurus fit me. I've been told that I'm very ambitious/driven, tend to lead the charge and take care of those around me (due to the mars influence). Emotionally, though, I keep my thoughts to myself, am very intuitive to the point that I sometimes have ESP but I also love to stay in contact with others and hate it when they don't reciprocate (especially if I like them).

and guess what?

I'm still AN ARIES!

And I'm PROUD of my so-called Aries traits LOL

I can relate to many of these truth be told.

I am a brave person. I've been through Saturnian sh*t in my life for sure but I always came out on top. I can look on the bright side at the end of the day. I appreciate being alive - as most fire sign people... There are others who seem more fascinated by death.
Not me! ^
I'm an idea person. I have huge initiative - it comes very naturally to me. I hear about people having trouble with this kind of thing and having to really *milk* their mind for an idea... I get like 20 different ideas per minute lol
Seeing things through is another issue though LOL (but that's more so a Taurus trait).

AND most of all:

- I LOVE MYSELF!!

I'm also glad that I've reached a point of genuine self-love and self-appreciation in my life.. and a point where I am proud to say this publicly. I would just as happily say it in RL.. I think this is very important!

So many of my friends seem to not be able to love themselves. It is a painful thing to watch.
I find that by liking myself (warts and all) I am a much better person towards others. I don't feel anger or envy towards them. I don't feel threatened by them. I LIKE people - because - I LIKE myself -- as strange as that might sound.

^^ Actually that's another classic Aries trait right there ^
It is extremely rare and uncommon for me to feel "envy".

-----

This is not to say I don't see the traits of my Capricorn or Pisces placements. In many ways I do - because I can be pleasant and laid back. I like to relax sometimes and enjoy the sunshine. The watery/earthy chart keeps my ego in check.. I can appreciate everything/everyone - including myself... and yet see them clearly. I don't have a BIG head or think that I am above or beneath another -- or think that my qualities are somehow better than other people's qualities.. but I'm self aware/proud of my qualities (and emotionally mature enough - at this point in my life - to finally realise that I needn't be modest in saying that!).

Is it possible for the people who don't identify with certain signs -- that you primarily do not identify with some of the classic negative things said about those signs?..

Or perhaps, some of the really exaggerated things said - whether positive or negative?

For instance, astrological interpretations often exaggerate with Aries/Leo/Scorpio - so I am not at all surprised when people of these signs talk about "not relating".

With Aries, it goes from -- "You are a superhero and you are going to save the world from... errr... well.. umm.. all of the things that are attacking it??" to "You are an aggressive, violent killing machine"

With Scorpio, it goes from "You are the most emotionally deep and intense person the world has ever seen. Why Ghandi himself has nothing on you." to "You are evil and revengeful. You will one day become a world-renowned terrorist"

With Leo it goes from "You are the most confident, beautiful, perfect specimen of a human being and you know it. You will become KING/QUEEN of England... if you are indeed in England. If not - You will become president of....... something. Congratulations!" to "Your ego could literally be out of this world. We have, in fact, designed methods to *get* it out, because frankly we just can't take it anymore."

Active- nope.

Cheerful- sometimes.
Networking- ????
Not liking negativity- NOO not with 3rd house saturn.
always see glass as half full rather than half empty- umm no, again with the cap stellium.
brutally frank and open- yeh BUT brutally frank and open with a Scorpio ASC, prepare to get offended.
Unfaithful-not at all.
At heart not domestic- I have cancer jupiter so no.
Good sense of humour. I hope so

Then again I have an unaspected Sag moon as my only fire....

I feel a lot like my ASC/Sun/Stellium.

If you are Cancer rising, you will be like your moon sign. If you are Leo rising, you are more like your Sun sign.

In a way I understand why a lot of people would identify with their moon sign more than their sun-sign.And visa-versa at times.

When the moon sign is in a more "dominant" sign, its qualities tend to be exaggerated to the detriment of the Sun.When the Sun sign is in that position, the same is true for the moon.

A lot of times I read that the sign on the ascendant as well as the ascendant ruler, does tend to influence the personality somewhat.

Well, I have Taurus Asc with Venus in Scorpio and have never really felt a strong affinity with Taurus or Scorpio sun signs.
I also have moon in cancer and don't have a single Cancerian friend.

I have, however, noticed that despite my water-heavy chart(moon, venus , Saturn and Pluto), I still form the conventional Sag relationships.

I've had memorable relationships with Gemini, Leo and Libra.

I am actually trying an Aries out for size right now and , despite being put off by their "me first approach" at time, it's going suprisingly well....

I read somewhere that Sun sign indicates principles and ideals whilst the moon indicates inner awareness or perceptions.

Basically, if you have a water moon,you may perceive life very subjectively and have a rich inner emotional awareness.

This can lead you to identify yourself as being emotional, cautious and introverted. I think all this "introspection" can lead to having very little room of awareness of your Sun-sign role in your character.

This can also be visa-versa.

In my experience,I think one at first has to learn to balance them, then go beyond them to intergrate the other parts of the chart until they come to a point where they get on with everybody and see each bond as unique.

I am a strong introvert - could do with the RX planets in my chart.....

Like when one Piscean Mooner sits at the table with thier head in their hands and a "vibe" coming off them and says, "oh god, I'm f***ing my life up, my family hate me, I don't know why, but they just do, and everything's cr*p, and I feel like sh*t" the other Piscean Mooner will say: "I feel you, man. Have a cup of tea.".
