Cap risings look younger as they get older, and we tend to lighten up and get less serious/driven after our Saturn Return. We tend to be cooler and more selective about people than our fiery Suns would imply.

When I am stressed out, keeping my dignity is very important to me, although I've loosened up as I got older.

People have said I was quiet or reserved on first impression. Other's have been more bold enough to say they thought I was a b%tch before they got to know me. Again, don't know if that's cap so much or more pluto. From my own POV, I would say I'm reserved in new situations, and then I open up a little when it feels 'safe'. In times of stress or anger, I blow up on the person or unsuspecting victims and then freeze the culprit or everyone else out. I guess you could say I completely withdraw back into my cancer/cap shell when I'm in crisis mode.

It's funny because my friend with Cap AC has been called the 'ice queen' many times lol. When I first met her I thought the same.. not the b!tchy or ice queen part, but definitely reserved, cautious, distant.

Both of my brothers also has Cap AC, regular heights, though they feel short. Both seem to have sloped foreheads, which no one else in our family has.

So I got basically the typical Cap reserved stance, but that we have to take into acct planets in 1st & chart ruler, ok so I kinda knew that I'm wondering what stands out do you think, about your Asc, I mean any tricks to tell em apart. This is prob why it helps to know another Cap rising....Not pooping on the parade, tho Looking forward to more responses

I used to get that when I was growing up. People thought I was stuck up or snobby.

When i first meet people I am kinda quiet not the most outgoing person out there.I tend to imitate people when breaking the ice with new acquaintances,I never divulge too much of my real personality with them,As i am mostly a private person.Only close family and loved ones see the real me.

When I'm mad I blow up quite quick and than expect everyone to make up and forget it happened.I never dwell to long on anger.
People think its cold of me.I just don't want to waste time arguing.doesn't solve anything.

I say this because I get a lot of mixed messages and the assumption at first glance.

For example:

I mean last year althought I was a coop student, my boss just throw me on and asked me to start making webforms.

I know how its done, but I've never really done it before and web isn't the type of coding I do.

Compared to another place I worked, they didn't even let me go near a computer or start scripting until i'm trained by them and they know i'm okay.

Even at school people assume I'm either on my last year or working on a masters.

What really drives me nuts is the assumption that I'm good at algebria.

With that said I think I whould rather be reserved and stay by myself.

My closest balance partner besides him has Saturn conjunct Ascendant too.

Here is what I noticed. We are all three are very disciplined people when it comes to diet and exercise.
They are two of the fittest people I know.

Sean and I are getting older now and just the other day we said to each other that it appears as though we look younger even as we are getting older.

Our manner of dress is polished, a litte trendy but more conservative than most in the entertainment business. Classic is what we seem to be striving for.

We can be very reserved when you first meet us, seperately. But together our composite has a Scoropio Ascendant, so it lends even more mystery to it. But we both have our fair share of fire Energy, so this standoffishness doesnt last unless we dont know you to well.

We are very discriminating when it comes to friends and people we allow close to us. In fact it took us a while to get close to each other. There is a bit of an "ice king" mentality there...haha...
We have a certain mask we give people and should they decide to penetrate it, we usually let them in if it serves our highest purpose.

Saturn on the Ascendant or a Capricorn Asc to me is like the Energy of the King. Who needs no one to be happy but gladly welcomes all who want to make his kingdom more harmonious.

And for me personally Capricorn Ascendants and Sun Signs are such SEXY men. All of my lovers have had Capricorn in the top 3. And I dont have a drop of it in my chart except for that Saturn on the Ascendant.

I guess because they are the men, that bring the wood in, start the fire. Make love to you by the fire after a romantic dinner and hold you afterwards. And last but no least they make sure the door is locked and that you are protected. And being an Earth Energy they tend to be way more loyal and trustworthy.
Something hot about that...just is.

Thank you, AG, for some definition

You have seriously just answered a question of mine that I've been wondering about a heavily Saturn influenced guy that I know. I don't know what his ascendant is, but half of his planets are in Libra, and his Venus is in Capricorn (and it squares his Saturn) so it gives a very heavy Saturn bent to his personality.

In any case, he drives me absolutely bonkers because there are some nights where me and my other friend will hang out with him and he's super talkative and open, and then on other nights he WILL NOT TALK... AT ALL. Not even to say hi. He will literally walk into the room, sit down at the table with us, pull out his phone and text/read the news/surf the internet the entire time he hangs out with us. It is BIZARRE (to me).

WHY would anyone come out to what is essentially a social function and not even say HI? That question right there has been driving me nuts. It makes no logical sense to me.

Initially I thought he didn't talk a lot because I had just started hanging out with the two of them, and he didn't know me very well. However, I've been starting to realize that he doesn't feel like talking some nights. And... He is definitely listening even if he's not talking.

He also seems discriminating when it comes to friends and other people he allows to get close to him (which is why he doesn't have many friends). I have decided to 'penetrate the mask' so to speak, and usually, even if he's on one of his 'I don't talk ever' nights, I can at least get him to smile or answer one question. My curiosity gets the best of me and I feel compelled to ask him questions when he is quiet.

One thing I have noticed though, is that his body language usually says far more than he ever has to, IF you are paying attention.

The quiet Saturn guy above sounds like he's partly using the silence in his favor, too. By not always offering to talk, he's making enchantress curious. Now he knows that she really is interested in talking with him, because he sort of made her reveal her curiosity. He can also see how clever she is by gauging her picking up on his subtle cues. I used to operate that way myself when I was younger.

This is from personal observations of a 2 person sample lol so take that with a grain of salt. I would say that I appear more reserved than either of them because of Saturn opposite my ASC. I do think planets say more about our appearances than signs.

Those ones sound like me...sort of, lol. Don't get me wrong, I can be very professional when the time calls for it, but other than that...nah.
