What sign is most likely to hide their sign?

---

Maybe people who have a lot of conflicting signs in their chart would want to hide it.

I have squares between my Aries Sun and Cap planets... so to tell someone "I'm an Aries" almost feels like a lie.
I'm a mixture of things, as everyone is.

I wouldn't mind telling people I guess... as long as they don't seem like very hardcore "sun sign - believers". That would creep me out.

Also, I have a Pisces Mercury... and generally we don't like to divulge any information about ourselves, unless we're close friends with the one asking. I think other water Mercuries are similar.

Yes the NN is important but at the end of the day the planets revolve around the Sun. The Sun is the identity so, whether we like it or not that's an integral part of who we are.

I 'sort of' disagree... It is a part of who we are... But so are other things!

My main personality traits come from..
My Sun - The dispositor of my Sun (Mars in Cap) - My SN conj Pluto (Scorpio) - My NN conj Venus - Taurus... and all my Neptune/Pisces stuff.

Yeah not wanting to reveal your sign is weird. I've never felt that way. Even when I was younger and not into astrology I knew my sign was Libra and I was satisfied with that even though I had no idea what it meant. Today, I'm at peace with my astrological makeup and the lessons that come along with it. I had a friend who was a Taurus and would claim to be an Aries because her NN was in Aries. I mean she used to flat out tell people she was an Aries. And she even explained to me one reason we got along was because I was a Libra and she was an Aries. It was nuts.

Libra is a sign that, for the most part, doesn't really get attacked by people; there's no stigma attached to it so of course you didn't really have a problem with it and it's hard for you to fathom lying about it.

* The Pisces with a 7 lifepath refused to tell what his sign was. When his birthday was posted on the community board ( we worked together) he threw a hissy fit. moon in Aquarius.

* Aries # 1 said, "I don't believe in that stuff." Two minutes later I walked into a room to overhear him with two other Aries comparing birthdays - April 6th.

* "Aquarius" said Aries # 2 after long uncomfortable pause followed by piercing intense eye contact. I blinked first. Aries with moon in Scorpio.

* Next week is your birthday, isn't it? "No!" said Gemini-Scorpio. B4 I was into Astrology, I collected birthdays.

* What's your sign? "I'm born in March" Scorpio rising for sure on this one.

* "What do you do for a living?" I do 'xyz' for a living. What's your zodiac sign? "Is that that thing with your birthdays?" Yes. "I'm born in december? December what? No answer. Sagittarius - Libra/Scorpio either 1st or 2nd...research is on going.

*What's your zodiac sign? What? I was born in June, you? "July"

When is his birthday? "He was born at the end of July." Leo.

*Sagittarius w/ Pisces moon blocked me on FB after I asked the zodiac question. But we have a troubled history. Dec 6th.

It's all very *mixed* ^ I'm not sure what is more important... It really depends on the context, the situation I'm in, the mood I'm in, the people I'm with, whether I'm having a good day or a bad day etc... but those are all different sides of my personality.

Well the Sun is our identity, our ego. Other things add to what characterize people of course, like you described your own thoughts Mercury, emotions Moon, how we appear to the world, Ascendant etc. But the Sun is our personal identity we can't deny it. What would all the planets in the Solar system gravitate around if there were no Sun to bounce around. I'm just thinking about this logically. Other things go into defining who we are but our identity is one of the biggest pieces of that puzzle. It's not the only piece but it's an important piece, next to the Moon and the Ascendant.

If your friend had a lot of planets in Aries or the first house, or a really prominent Mars, I can see why she felt more Arian. Just because someone's sun is in a certain sign doesn't mean that's the most prominent energy in their chart. My sun mercury and NN are all in Leo but my chart is actually more Libra - four planets in the sign as well as having the sun, venus and mercury all in the 7th house (Libra's house). In Pullen chart delineations, Libra always comes up first as the strongest sign in my chart, Leo comes in third place. So yeah sometimes when people ask about Libras or comment on them, I'll hop up and reply because truthfully I AM more Libran than anything else.

---

I see your point and I completely agree but my friend didn't have heavy Arian energy. I've analyzed her natal chart extensively. She was very insecure and I wanted to understand her. She was a Sun Taurus with her Moon in Pisces. Again a billion things go into filling the circle of what defines us but there is a starting point. This is just my perspective. For some it's the Ascendant for me it's the Sun. I'm not attached to the idea that Sun signs are the ONLY THING that matter. I'm just pointing out their place in analyzing a natal chart.

Also just because Libra's don't supposedly get a lot of negative attention does not mean someone like myself could not be insecure with having that Sun sign and decide not to reveal it. Anyone can be sensitive about their natal chart for any amount of reasons. (Just to clarify again I am not). However, here's an example of people reacting negatively to me stating my sun sign:

The first planet I look at when looking at someone's natal chart is their Sun.

Well in my experience, looking at the charts of friends and family... the Sun sign does not always stand out like a beacon in their personality.. and there are usually reasons for that in the natal chart. The classic reason would be, if the Sun is under pressure from other planets in the chart... in particular transpersonal planets. If you see a Sun/Neptune conjunction for example or a Sun/Pluto conjunction.. you can just about bet that person will not behave as typical "X" sign...

That said.. Many Gemini's aren't those that pop out with or what they are (they take things inside and have to think about it).

I mention I'm a Libra to someone and they proceed to hold up their hands in a way that shows scales tipping back and forth and exclaim "can't ever make a decision huh, what to do, what to do." Generalizations, of people who clearly don't know how complex Astrology is. This is all just my perspective based on my personal experience. We are all VERY different.

If out of all the signs, she picked Aries to refer to herself as, I'm thinking there has to be some kind of reason for that, even if she doesn't actually have any planets in the sign. It might even be something as initially obscure as having a singleton Mars; anything.

Remember a singleton can a lot of times overrule everything else in a chart, even the sun. When you mention the complexity of astrology, that's exactly it - which is why I can't really sign on to the theory that having your sun in a certain sign is the be-all, end-all. Trust me, there's a lot of people who are little to nothing like their sun sign, and when you check out their chart, you find out real fast exactly why that is. So no I don't believe that everybody boils down to just their sun sign.

Linda Goodman always said that when she went through the signs in a room full of people, the Gemini's always tried to duck out. She also pointed out that June is one of the most popular month for births

Interesting she would say this because there's an unofficial consensus round here that she's one of those who hid her birth details. We believe she's an Aries-Scorpio & not Aries-Aries has claimed.

My own experience with this combo (Aries-Scorpio) leads me to believe she belonged to this group. To my knowledge I've known three of these people and the all went to length to cover up their true birth details. It took a little and a lot of cunning on my part to find out the truth.

I think the question we should be asking ourselves is why would anyone lie about their astrological makeup? Why do we care so much about what other people think about us. Seriously, I mean it doesn't matter what perceptions people have about our natal makeup, it's not their concern. And how exactly would we hide it because, unless we're asked or give it out freely we are all in a sense keeping our natal charts hidden. The only reason I think someone would lie about their astrological makeup is because they either don't understand it, don't relate to it, or are incredibly insecure about it based on public opinion.

I have always said what sign I am to others but I know my sign is not really understood and I feel libra and scorpio are not understood well either. People have this stereotypes in their heads of what a virgo, libra and scorpio is like and their perception is simplistic and incomplete.
