We love you too, gun-toting mama! hahah RAS, I can be vindictive. But it has nothing to do with my Sag/Lib signs. If anything it's the signs keeping me from killing lmao.  The vindictive part of me is due to my hard Pluto aspect. And even then.. I usually lose interest and move on. I also don't know how to stay mad at someone long. You'd really have to do something REALLY, REALLY awful towards me, AND not be remorseful. Then.. well, yes.. you'll be sorry. >=) LOL  Ever heard of Bas Rutten's quote? "I don't believe in an eye for an eye, I believe in TWO eyes for an eye." Yes, that's the hard Pluto aspect talking I think. lol ------------------ "The better you feel about yourself, the less you feel the need to show off." — Robert Hand "Cynicism, like gullibility, is a symptom of underdeveloped critical faculties." — Jamie Whyte "I am not absentminded.

I'm a libra w/ Leo Moon, Sag Asc, and Aries Mars. I'm not vindictive. Hell, 9 times out of 10, I turn the other cheek. To be honest, it has never cross my mind to get revenge. However, some of my friends and encounters of other signs I have witness to be vindictive were Leo, Scorpio, Cancer, Virgo, Aries, Capricorn, Gemini, etc. And it had to be their aspects because they had no Scorpio Moon or Asc. Also, my grandmother was born on a cusp, so she's a Sag/Scorp and her moon is Scorp, but she's not vindictive either.IP: Logged |

I always considered Sag's non vindictive cos they just aren't the types that get bogged down by things. They usually brush it off their shoulders and bounce to the next thing lol.Signs that have the tendency to brood on things will naturally have more inclination to sting back hard. IP: Logged |

That they'll hunt you down, and hack your computer, and be waiting in your shower with a knife for you when you get home and all the lights are off... but never in my life have I ever met a Scorpio like that. Maybe some will say I haven't met one that's truly cared about me, or maybe I've just been lucky but I have met Libras, and I have met Sagittarius' (both suns and moons in that case) and they are vindictive. It's just that they will a) NEVER admit to the slight, and b) With Libras it's more of a *** -for-tat thing, you know because they ARE about balance and Sagittarians will take it to the extremes until you've crawled up and burned into a pile of ashes from the inside out.
So very very true. I said in the original post that I've never met a revengeful Scorpio either! IP: Logged |

Hannarama and I are always talking about this lol. But i think that leos will forgive you again and again until you havent taken the hint yet that they hate it when you criticize them, and then that's when they'll have the final straw and cut you out of their life. But, in general, I think leos are really forgiving and generous people. Well, except for Chavez and Fidel Castro haha. Like they say, leos have a big roar, but they dont bite. They might even talk about how theyll take revenge on you, but they rarely ever actually do it IP: Logged |

I've met some SUPER-vindictive Libra individuals with no Scorpio influences; they were emotionally afflicted in other ways and it came out as a nearly psychotic need to balance the scales. (Please mind that I am talking about some individuals I've known, not saying every Libra does this.) Some of them could really give Scorpio a run for their money in the "eye for an eye" department. I feel like a Water or even Fire sign MIGHT possibly be swayed to forgiveness if you present an emotional reason for what you did. Whereas whenever I've seen Libras in "you must pay for what you did" mode, they are all Air about it - very cold, very indifferent to emotion and human weakness, to the point of almost cruelty. They will often present themselves as super-rational about it, even when they aren't really. I had a Libra friend who would recount point-by-point every favor she had ever done for you and DEMAND!! to know why you didn't pay her back, although she tended to conveniently forget the favors YOU had done for her. She had difficulty expressing true kindness - any gift or favor she offered had strings attached, and at any time she might demand you restore the balance or else you were a horrible soulless friend. Sorry, I don't mean to go in on Libra here. It just frustrates me that there are legitimately dark aspects to this sign (as there are with all signs) that get blamed on other signs/placements. I should maybe add that Libra also happens to be my Saturn sign, so these kinds of experiences activate all that Saturn "goodness" for me.
As for Sagittarius, my experience is that they'll blow up in your face and let you know *exactly* what their problem with you is, but then it's all over. This is my mother's sign, although it's possibly mitigated with a lot of Earth in her chart.
My cousin is a libra and heartlessly vindictive. Like hannarama said, it's all about *** for tat. "it's not fair! it's a two way street! things should be equal between what i do for you and what you do for me" Is what I feel libras think most of the time. My cousin also has no scorpio placements or pluto aspects. IP: Logged |

YEp! I agree.
I think holding grudges is very very similar to being vindictive. If somebody holds a grudge, they are very very likely to act revengeful in very small ways...just because they still have that grudge...so they may bring up what you did in conversation, they may refuse to do you a favor, they may be very distant on purpose..which many caps do. So i think it's almost inevitable for someone who is holding a strong grudge against someone and hasnt forgiven them to subconsciously act in revengeful ways even if they dont really plan it out or mean to. That's what redscorp is saying. But i think gemini, sag, and libras are signs who will actually plan out revenge and act on it IP: Logged |

Some say: "There is nothing scarier then an out of balance Libra". However, my two longest time friends are libras and i have yet to see them being irrational or conniving. One of them i have known for ages, and she is the one that has a tight pluto, mercury, venus (within 4 degrees) stellium. I imagine it takes a lot to tip the balance. My mom is a taurus sun, libra moon and she can be super manipulative (not very good at it so its all the more noticeable), then again her NN is in scorpio, more power to her haha She makes people feel bad if they do not like her food, house, etc. She does it in a way thats says 'I tried very hard to make you happy and it hurts me a lot that you do not like it as much as i do'. BUT she is also very caring, very sensitive in general, and very sensitive to other peoples opinion of her as well, and she tries to please till she is completely worn out She does expect kindness to at least be remembered (and returned when it comes to those closest to her) and talked about for a while, but she is also very, very thoughtful and generous, she donates more to charity than anyone else i know and she lives a very modest lifestyle herself. I can totally see how she sometimes feels taken for granted, unappreciated, etc. One thing she doesn't do, is lie, unless she's good I hear her talk on the phone to people a lot and cannot recall her lying. I personally stay away from people who do not trust me enough to be honest with me, and from those who are dishonest with others. People that lie DO hurt people and nothing is ever the same after. But there are two sides to every story, and i say that while standing by what i said earlier about that girl creating drama. And i also see a ton of ways my mom can handle her disappointments differently. But im sure she can say the same about some of the things i do yet i may not be aware of because its a deep part of who i am. We are all a reflection of one another though My dad is a cancer sun, Saggi moon and he just straight up drops people who are not his family members. Pretty sad but he has no long time friends. My mom does, from her college days. I know moon signs are expressed diferently with genders, just thought i would mention that. IP: Logged |

Seconding this. You may forgive but not forget. Acting on the grudge is what makes one vindictive, not just holding it. IP: Logged |

Since you put it that way, (I guess) I have been vindictive at some point. For instance, I have a Leo friend that RARELY does any favors for me. Hell, I recall plenty of times when I paid for her way to get in to parties (or clubs) and gas. I swear this girl NEVER has any money (or is very cheap), so that's why I rarely hang out with her now. If I do go out with her, I act like I'm broke too (lol). I usually don't bring it to that person's attention. I normally go M.I.A on people who take advantage of me or treats me unfairly.

I mean......to be honest, discussions like this are weird at a certain point. There is no objectivity in these sorts of discussions, and that is ok. But, our personal observations are never really enough to invalidate or validate anything about a sign because we are full of personal biases to individuals. How much can we blame on the sign and not the interpersonal dynamics (perhaps played out by aspects) at play in our relationships? How much of our own actions do we believe contribute to how vindictive or vengeful a person is, regardless of sun sign (of ALL things)? I've not had a Scorpio be vindictive towards me, but I've seen them give other people hell. And that was mainly because I didn't do anything to 'grind their gears' so to speak. I'm mutable, so I can really go with the flow of whatever--most of the time. Generally speaking, it is something this sign is known for (though that doesn't mean it is true for all). I've also seen others retaliate against these individuals (and they were CLUELESS as to why they attacked/betrayed them). Moreover, everyone gets a little "antsy" about saying Scorp. energy is vengeful/deadly/vindictive as a negative thing (which, I believe the energy by itself, is pretty useless without heightened awareness, honestly). But then the very next minute when people are talking about it as a a defense mechanism or self-protection, the VERY SAME TRAIT is viewed as something good, great and heralded as the trademark of the sign--the killer sting. But I've noticed this push and pull happens A LOT. ...could easily have to do with how you are treating them, which puts the focus on your actions, rather than anothers responsiveness. I've noticed astrology is very useful to some and detrimental to others. It is a bit of a struggle to unify how it helps us become more aware of 'other(s)' and apply that same rule to 'self' especially with regard to interpersonal interactions. IP: Logged |

I don't think this is called vindictive or holding a grudge at all!  Then again I'm very punctual and can't cope with people who demand an arm when you offer a hand in general. I was in a situation where there was a leechy girl attached to me and my friends. She never keeps any promises of returning favors either. It's all take take take, and when we test her by asking her a favor, she'll always say no. When a friend tried to point out her behaviour is really not okay, she went all self pitying and called her "vindictive" and a "backstabber" for remembering she didn't keep her promises. -_- IP: Logged |

That's great RP! It's indeed not an easy thing to do, the other party has to be receptive of such thing as well. I'm really happy for you that you were able to with this particular person.  IP: Logged |

Sometimes, I find myself doing that as well, but "old bad habits die hard" (I hope I said it correctly, lol). I can't help but to either repress it or let it build until I explode. IP: Logged |

Oh ok... Well, is taking a person's hot wing as pay back for not paying me back considered "vindictive"? Lol, I did that to my leo friend. She thought I was joking and tried to take it back. Anyway, I've held a grudge against one person, but I didn't want to get them back for it. I just cut him out of my life. IP: Logged |

EXCELLENT RESPONSE see most people around here who post generic type questions are sooo subjective inanyevent. Just seems to me that members only thrive on superficial such as this OR the majority being *relationship* type questions. In fact I'm 99% convinced the majority here are 'obsessed' and you never see any other type of question in PR forum either. It's so depressing I may have leave for my own sanity soon.... just depressingly... ------------------ I love the parable, “If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day, BUT if you teach him how to fish, you feed him for life.” IP: Logged | |
