Anything in a chart that would indicate extreme secretiveness? I read upon moon opp Neptune is this something to pay attention to? My guy has this placement but I've been observing him very closely...

I'm just curious if anything you guys know in a chart would link to compulsive and unnecessary lying in someone? I'm curious also, if it falls on a debilitated Neptune influence??

I have moon square neptune and I am not a compulsive lier at all. I am pretty blunt and attract people who are pretty blunt.

I did have growing up poor boundaries with my mom. My mom overprotected me and wanted me to think and be like her is how I Perceived it and so I had lots of fights with mom growing up to defend my freedom and individuality..Now we are super cool.

Also I do idolize my parents even though my virgo sun sees their defects clearly I still idolize them (sun square neptune idolize dad and moon square neptune idolize my mom).

I also have mercury square neptune and the only times I lie is when I would get in trouble with parents growing up, that is it.

Everything that comes out of my father's mouth is a lie or delusion. He has sun and venus conjunct neptune. Sadly, I think he believes his version of reality.

I think it really depends upon the individual and the use of their neptunian placements. I have moon conjunct neptune and asc, neptune conjunct uranus and asc and I try to e completely honest with people to the point of losing friends/being thought of as a bit mean. i'd rather just not be lied to so i try not to lie to others and it's quite an effective stance. so maybe with neptunian placements people can get trapped in their delusions or work towards something higher.

I know three pathological liars – Gemini, Virgo and Scorpio Suns. For some reason Mercury popped into my head, I thought I heard about Mercury being involved somewhere. The Scorpio has Mercury square Mars and conjunct Uranus. The Gemini has Mercury square Jupiter and the Virgo has Mercury conjunct Jupiter.

As for Neptune: The Gemini has Moon square Neptune and the Virgo has Sun square Neptune, the Scorpio has a Pisces rising with Neptune conjunct the MC. Neptune leading them to be delusional I guess…

First of all we need to define what a compulsive liar is. In my opinion a compulsive liar does not lie once in a blue moon but daily for it to be considered a compulsive behavior! A compulsive liar does not premeditate before they lie, it happens on impulse automatically. The person has little control over their lying. If your boyfriend was compulsive liar I think you would have caught on to this a long time ago because when someone lies compulsively is easy to catch them lying or you find yourself repeatedly suspecting what they are saying.

I had a client in my last job that had borderline personality disorder and was compulsively liar. She lied to get out of trouble, she lied to impress others and half of the time I suspect that she believed her own lies.

I have sun in virgo and mercury in the 10th, my mercury conjuncts MC. My sun, moon and mercury square my Neptune in sag. I have moon in 4th in pisces and sag rising. If anything I am compulsively honest. I have good memory and am analytical and usually pretty objective. I value honesty and so I am honest even if I know someone will not like me as much for been honest about how I feel. My best friend from HS that I knew for ten years if you ask her to describe me she will tell you amelia is very honest, direct and blunt. My husband will tell you that I am very blunt and do not have any problems at all making myself clear.
Hence, Moon square Neptune does not mean that someone likes to lie and even less that someone lies compulsively. I think you have to look at the whole chart.

Ofcourse if a cop pulls me over and asks me, do you know how fast you were going? I am going to play dumb bc I am not going to hang myself. Most people will play dumb; this is not unique to moon square Neptune. The only scenarios in my life were I lie is if I am in trouble and I feel I don’t deserve to get in trouble.

I agree Amelia, this is why I pointed out that the people I knew were pathological liars - the lies they tell are pointless – they don’t help them get out of trouble and they seem to believe it themselves, it has become the truth for them. It is a mental illness yet they are functioning members of society. Their relationships are severely lacking though.

As for a compulsive liar, someone who lies lots mostly to get out of trouble, I will give my Sag friend as an example because he once told me that he lies to his (Cancer) girlfriend all of the time, so often that he can’t even remember how often.

He has: Scorpio rising, Moon in Capricorn, Mercury square Uranus and Pluto and, as for Neptune aspects, Venus conjunct Neptune and Mars square Neptune, Neptune is conjunct his AC (widely, orb 5)…

ETA: I also heard that Jupiter hard aspects to Mercury will add exaggeration to speech, or stories, what is said basically.

Thanks for the jupiter pointer......that actually makes sense to me. Since jupiter touches what it expands perhaps a hard aspect from jupiter to mercury will create people who embellish stories and leave you wondering how much of what they are saying is actually true LOL.

I am just not sure about the Neptune aspects been something that gives a propensity to lying...wouldn't mercury conjunct neptune make you very intuitive and psychic instead of a liar?

I am skeptical about the cause having something to do with neptune aspects to sun, moon and mercury bc of my own aspects. Neptune makes you put people in pedestal and makes you like to fantasize but it doesnt mean you can't distinguish fantasy from reality. I know when I am fantasizing. I even know when I putting someone up in pedestal bc I see people clearly but choose to admire them for their virtues and help them work on their deficits.

This is an interesting topic and it would be nice to make some progress with it..

in light of downtomars comment about jupiter/mercury stressful aspect and lying I am thinking that perhaps jupiter conjunct neptune stressful aspect to mercury would be a good lying placement.

anyone feel free to bring some clarity into the following:

Since mercury has to do with communication my feeling is that lying would by default involve mercury somehow. Why would sun or moon be involved in lying unless the aspect is to mercury?? curious.....

This person has a cognitive disability (mental retardation), borderline personality disorder and a history of lying. She does have some stressful mercury/moon aspects to Neptune and you combine that with her cognitive disability and perhaps she doesn't differentiate well reality from fantasy. There is a bunch of things going on in her chart however in addition to those Neptune aspects.

What do you guys think about this chart?

I found myself becoming more secretive and cunning because I recently realized that I can get away with just about anything and have been excersizing my freedom. If I know an answer to a question, and someone asks me that question, I for some reason will give them as little information as I possible. My natal mercury squares neptune , same for my venus. And its playing out and has played out to other people but to me I'm justexperimenting with who I want to be. I'm a teenager after all. Ever since I started doing bd things I became secretive so those who are more secretive than me I dstrust because I unlike others have a sagittarius moon...and I o have a lot to say ... wasted potential on my part, that's what. Anythng neptune or uranus related in hard aspected will be unpredictable illusions. Maybe compulsive liars...maybe not. I have many casual alliances formed with the homosapians at my school. There's the truth and the lie. I give anyone who I'm not absolutely close with the lies. I mean, why would I want you to judge me and mak me feel bad about the life I live? So if I feel comfortable with the possible outcome, I sartay it.

interesting you mention BPD, amelia. i know someone with this (my ex) who is a pisces sun with pisces mercury retrograde. forget what his neptune is up to though. he lied constantly and i honestly never knew which version of him was the truth (he had a few, but mostly swung to two extremes) and i think he believed them all. he is completely compulsive but i also belive there is some premeditation involved aswell.

yeah geminis in my experience lie, but it's more like weird little evasions and nothing malicious.

Doesn't have to be Neptune.

I had a severe compulsive lying problem in my late childhood/early teen years (one glance at my chart and you could quickly see why). And yes, it truly was compulsive. I'd make a lie several times an hour. It was largely because for a part of my childhood, lying and manipulating was nescessary for my survival. I was naturally good at it, and became so good that it became a habit. The web I weaved was supremely tangled, but I knew it well and seldom did things break through it.

As an example of what happened. When I was 11 I lied (for no particular reason) and told a psychologist I was seeing that I tried to kill myself in the past. Result: I was placed in outpatient hospital care for a month and a half. No one, not a soul, knew that it wasn't true. I painted the perfect picture, and kept the whole charade going. I didn't tell my mother the truth until I was 20. When I did tell her though, she said she always sensed it was a lie, but I needed the help in the hospital so she didn't probe it (my mother is quite psychic).

I fixed this a long time ago but once and a while, I'll catch myself slip and make a lie for no reason, and I won't be aware of it until afterwards.

So no, neptune does not always indicate a compulsive lying problem. Largely because, in my case, neptune is not a major player in my chart.

I have moon opp neptune and like as has been mentioned eariler it suggests confusions around mother, either smother loved or emotionally neglected. Sometimes these hard aspects can be linked to eating disorders..

moon square Neptune

for liars, I would look to neptune and mercury as they have very vivid imaginations, but really you would *have to* look at the whole chart, and not just bits of it...

As for extreme secretiveness, look at scorpio rising, sun,moon and aspects..

Now without looking at the whole chart, signs and houses we are all p***ing in the wind. I have sun opp neptune and I've rather vomit than tell a white lie. Both sun and moon opp neptune can be very sensitive and psychic, plus my neptune is a singleton to...

finally, a chart well done. My first instinct mars conj neptune..


mars conj Neptune
“This conjunction can pose several difficulties: in choice of actions, where you may struggle to establish what your real aims are; in making that final decision to attempt to achieve them, and in ensuring that sufficient and persistent effort is then made to guarantee success. An unintegrated Neptune can dissolve that focused will, making decisive clarity difficult to maintain. Additionally, you tend to avoid accepting the consequences of your choices, and there can be a refusal to acknowledge responsibility when such actions lead to failure or negative results.” http://astrology.astrozoom.com/index.php?title=NEPTUNE_PARALLEL% 2C_CONJUNCTION%2C_SQUARE_OR_OPPOSITION_TO_MARS http://www.astrologyweekly.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11521

this mars is also a singleton ie: only planet in fire element..

Fire Absence
The limited presence of the Fire element in your horoscope may suggest the need to experience life more actively. It may benefit you to become more vital, for you may lack the passion and spark that the fire signs afford. This doesn't mean that you don't enjoy life, but merely that you don't seem to know how to insert yourself into the action; pleasure, thrills and glory will be slow coming your way. Your pleasures are apt to be more subtle and sensitive, without the dramatics and flash. Although this void does not guarantee an introvert, you are not likely to be the extrovert. You lack the dare-devil courage of the fire signs, and this includes the utter self-confidence these signs bestow http://www.astrology-numerology.com/elements.html#Fire%20Absence

with that stellium in gemini in 8th house apex for yod with outers, does show problems. Saturn retro conj IC and MC ruler moon conj pluto. All links back to 8th and secretiveness.

I think the lying with you was due to all this scorpio 8th house stuff as a protection mechanism. Do you know what age mercury retro went direct? is that when you started lying per chance?

It was partly protection, and because I knew I could do it and get away with it. I was too young to realize it within myself at the time, but I got a thrill out of knowing I duped someone and painted a totally false and fabricated image for them. It made me feel powerful. Which, was rooted from having very little self esteem. Stemmed from being a "odd" child (I was socially cast aside as weird all to often in elementry and middle school).

I do not know when my mercury went direct, but I would not be surprised if it was around the time I cut the lying. It was more, I became self-aware of how pervasive it had become within my life. I toned it back, thinking I fixed it completely in high school. In college I realized that I had actually just extended and exaderated things more often then not to "boost" different parts of my personality and supress others. Thus giving off the exact image I felt was the "coolest" for whoever I was around. All in all though it was still tied with being powerful. The last biggest slip was when I was 18, and basically faked a seizure and fooled the hospital staff, and I did it for no reason at all (it was as if I was watching myself do it).

I now know what I am capable of and have strict control over my ways. I only "slip" when I am very stressed. The way I keep a lid on it is I am now extremely honest and up front with nearly everything. Having mars in cancer is useful in this case because that prevents me from overcompensating in that sense.

And yup, nearly everything in my chart will ultimately point back to my 8th house, haha.
