Do you have two/multiple different personalities?
State the placements in your chart that make up your personality, and the placements that make up your alter ego(s).

I didn't think about it so much but Kevin James is Taurus and Joaquin Phoenix is Scorpio.

It doesn't go as far as really having alters, or multiple personalities, or a fragmented psyche, but I do definitely have two aspects - I'm equal parts introvert and extrovert, to be honest.

A few times I've jokingly compared myself to that movie "Teen Wolf". My extrovert side is like the Wolf aspect of the main character, Scott.

What I think accounts for the two sides? My Leo placements in the 7th house, are my extroverted side. My 4 planet stellium in the 8th, is my introverted side. The eighth isn't a social house per se.

I wouldn't say I have an alter ego, but many do consider me an enigma...

Sun & Mercury are Libra on the Scorpio cusp (Jupiter and Pallas add Scorpio energy to that cusp), and other Libran planets include Venus, Saturn, Pluto. That's some strong Libra energy.

But then I have Moon, Mars, Uranus, Neptune (and also Eros and Ceres) in Sag.

I believe the mix has made it so that I really want to understand things from an intensely deep level, and Sag is fearless in doing that, Libra fair (but that Scorpio edge can make that a harsh fairness as well as increasing my desire to understand fundamental reality), but Sag is also blunt about it which bothers many (and Sag doesn't know why and thinks the fearful should find some cave to hide in) yet Libra would rather not alienate everyone (let's just say it doesn't surprise me that we live in a world that doesn't like people who think too deeply and our history is filled with people who looked too critically at society & reality meeting unpleasant ends, sometimes executed by church and/or state). That's actually a reason I like the internet, it's a way for me to travel, to meet with various people who can help in my quest to understand, and I can be as open as I want (generally speaking) and not worry about losing my welcome in people around me who could affect my life (like refusing to do business with me, gossiping about me, possibly even becoming violent, etc).

And people have mistaken me for Sag before, especially when I was a kid and hadn't put a governor on my mouth yet (so that I said the same kinds of things to people around me that I try to reserve for my closest friends and the internet which got me into a lot of trouble back then). And I'm a lot more optimistic than most (including many Libras) despite being cynical.

Though I am an enigma to many who know me well. For example, I'm very cynical and I'm aware of how easy it is to get squished (and even enjoy listening to morbid and/or depressing songs at times) but I remain optimistic (after all countless people get through such problems all the time, admittedly often with some dumb luck), perhaps in the flavor of that song on the musical Buffy ep I Got a Theory ("What can't we face if we're together? What's in this place that we can't weather?").

I'm athletic yet I disdain most sports (especially to watch, I really don't get it). I'm not impressed with violence and I usually hate action movies and yet I engage in archery and the shooting sports. I'm not anywhere as obsessed with sex as most people and yet I'm also a lot less uptight about it and am more accepting of romantic & sexual alternatives like polyamory (probably my Uranus & Eros in Sag). I'm ok with enlightened selfish philosophies (even say we're all selfish to a degree, and that's not a bad thing) but at the same time I've shown more charity and volunteer work (and even basic decency like getting doors for the disabled or stopping at a crosswalk so pedestrians can pass) than most others who extol selflessness. And many other things. It's not a contradiction to me, however, and if you got the time I could explain why it actually makes sense, but I tend to surprise people as they get to know me well. And I think a lot of that is how my Sag & Libra energies affect each other.

Everybody has alter-ego's - they're part of the psychological defensive mechanism and part of the way our public image is formed (the mask - aka "the person"), it's the way our brain works - that's how we cope with certain situations... even minor ones, that's how we cope with "life"(and that's why everybody has alter-egos).

When we're referring to people we're used to call them/us - "persons" ...and it's the right way to call them - but most people are probably unaware of what the word person really means and the origin of this term... as in "persona - in terms of astrology is mainly related to our Ascendant - which reflects the main alter-ego (our public identity/self) - followed by the other dominant signs that tend to define our personality at a certain given moment...

Some of them are easy to recognize - like the time when you're in a verbal confrontation and "you loose yourself"... and latter, you can't believe you've said the things you said... well, that was you and in same time "it wasn't..." - doesn't happen with every disagreement, but when the true self can't take it anymore... that defensive personality takes over "in order to protect the self" - that's why it was formed, that's its purpose and this is the most common example of alter ego... which all of us have yet... it's different from an individual to another - some are silent, others start raging, others became violent and so on... and that for same situation - which can be related to our childhood or (since we're on a astrological forum) - planetary influences (position in signs, the way they're aspected - etc)...

Above example is more common... but there are others from which can result alter-egos like the ones related to some trauma (physical, psychological or both - especially those from childhood)... I found a non-profit site of a guy who made his life purpose in to studying and helping others to deal with their alter-egos and all type of problems related to our psychological nature... here are his lists of alter-egos or how he likes to call them:

Inner Kids (Subselves)

Guardian Subselves

...his guides to self-healing/recovering starts with identifying the "true self" - it's a non-profit site and it's kinda messy (imo) but the available information can be very useful for many of you, there's also a YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/gercacn - and you don't have to take my word for it, look in to it and judge for yourselves.

I love this thread!

Moonfish you always have the coolest pics.

As for me, I think if someone is perceptive enough they will catch all of it up front. Most people seem interested in the fact that I am unassuming and quiet at first, but then when you get me going, lots of big words and specialized information comes out.

People's eyebrows go up when they hear me talk. Maybe I look dumber than I am?

So that's one of my dichotomies: half educated and poised, half shy redneck.

Another apparent personality split, according to some people's way of stereotyping, is that I am a wholesome mother of five who loves gardening, quilting, Beatrix Potter books, bake sales...and the occult.

But I think lots of women are like that, society is just slow picking up on our existence. Maybe because we are mysterious.

Not really multiple personalities, rather different layers, like a matryoshka doll.

I'm gonna illustrate it with pictures taken from my favourite movies. No in depht explanation, photos speak for themselves.


* 1rst layer : the dreamer/escapist

- moon trine venus, opposite neptune and sextile jupiter. Jupiter opposes venus.


"Dreams" by Akira Kurosawa


* 2nd layer : the misfit

- saturn in the 4th, opposing MC, squares Chiron in the 12th, and uranus in the 6th


"Toby Dammit" by Federico Fellini


* 3rd layer : the amnesic Pierrot

- Jupiter and Chiron in the 12th


"Children of Paradise" by Marcel Carne

I do love those things too They keep my airy moon a little bit more grounded. And my taurus ascendant enjoy doing peaceful activities, as do my venus in 6th ^^

Yeah, I think I have some "groupings" in my personality/ chart as well.

1. Stellium of Sun, mercury, Mars, ASC in Sagittarius; mars and ASC square Jupiter; Sun conjunct Mercury; mars conjunct ASC; Moon in Aquarius; practically unaspected Uranus in 11th house

my Jupiter-Uranus layer (the intellectual me)


2. Venus in Capricorn; Moon quinkunx Saturn; Saturn handle of my bucket configuration, Saturn singleton; Saturn trine Chartruler

my Saturn-layer (the serious me)


3. Neptune conjunct ASC and Mars; Mars in 12th house; chartruler in Pisces square Neptune; Dispositor of my Sun, Mercury, Mars, ASC in Pisces

my Neptune - layer (the spiritual or dreamer me)


4. Venus square Pluto; Pluto conjunct MC; Moon-dispositor in Scorpio; Venus-dispositor in 8th house; ruler of 2nd house in 8th house; ruler of 8th house in 2nd house;

my Pluto-layer

---------------------

Making dispositor trees only using traditional rulerships there is sort of a "split" in my chart, as I have two dispositor trees.


1. on the top is Jupiter in Pisces, and it contains:

Jupiter (Pisces)
Sun, Mercury, Mars, ASC, Neptune (Sag)
Uranus (Scorpio)

2. on the top is the mutual reception of Moon in Aquarius and Saturn in Cancer (traditional rulership) and it contains:

Moon - Saturn (Aquarius-Cancer)
Venus (Capricorn)
MC, Pluto (Libra)


I find this interesting as it seems to split the emotional or relationship planets so clearly from the rest of the personality.
