I also have the sun conjunct in both rebellious Uranus and dreamy Neptune. I feel like these aspects rule my identity more than my sun sign.

The only time I subconsciously feel my sun sign power is when I'm faced with a challenge. A short term challenge. Any other time, its hard for me to focus on tasks that I'm not particularly interested in,, and I refuse to do anything that I do not agree with.

Because of this I did bad in school...

Sometimes changing house systems will change your chart quite a bit. Have you tried with other systems - maybe there's one out there tht resonates with you more.

Plus ~ I just found out I'm a Sidereal Sagittarius~ lol I don't agree with it~ but, you might wanna check into that one...

Use Astro~ or such a site, and pick the options for either Vedic or Sidereal~

Changed even my ASC~ although I liked that change~ haha I don't think they'll let me keep the Leo ASC ;; and still have my Placidus Sun.

You may resonate better with how your chart displays using a different system. I can't say which is right for you, and nobody really can... so it is a good idea to give it a try, I think. ^^; you might find having a stellium of SAG or w/e you get matches you better with Sidereal or whatnot.

~~~ good luck~ nighty-night~

But the difference between us and other people might be how we rise to challenges, as you said. When I have to get something done, it's. going. to. get. done. PERIOD. So I am occasionally a workaholic.

And of course that means a lot of determination and maybe prioritizing the project above everything else...which other people may not do. But Caps will.

Also, Caps are usually interested in astrology or metaphysical stuff. So you are right at home here.

As for how your conjunctions play out, I'm sorry I can't relate at all. My sun is a singleton. Hope others can chime in.

I know a variety of Caps and they're all different. The only thing I can say about them all is that we usually keep to a small circle of friends and tend to have an appreciation for art.

My Sun is conjunct Neptune and I can relate to feeling spacey. I daydream a lot and I'm idealistic, spiritual, and sensitive.

A Cap friend of mine also has Sun conjunct Neptune (as well as Neptune in the 1st house) and she's very similar.

I've read that when signs conjunct, there is a blending of energy that almost resembles a new sign/planet.

I'm the -workaholic- type ---- but, my new job is being a mother~ So, I'm on duty 24/7. But, my previous job had my devotion as well, to be honest... I let my career dominate my life until I met my husband. It was the only aspiration I had, and my obsession for sure. I don't think it was about being a workaholic to me though - It was like YTA ~ in a sense... driven to succeed, but in my case I'd say it another way, driven not to fail.... constant fear of failure keeps me going on that stereotypical Capricorn drive. But, my job was spiritually rewarding, so it never became a burden or a bore. If you have that then anyone can be a workaholic, in a sense, right? BUT - I have a goat brother who can't stay at a job for more than a few months tops, (he's 22), and a 41 year old uncle goat who has never been committed to any career whatsoever his whole life, instead hops around to wherever he's needed with no commitment at all. lol It's not the sun in Capricorn that makes a person a workaholic I think, it's when the ruler of our sign is prominent, and that can be for nonCapricorns too. ^^

If you don't think you fit the typical image of a Capricorn, that's probably because there is none. Linda was one of the first astrologers I read from who seemed to really see beyond the image that had long been attached to goat-suns. lol We can be flakey, fickle, impetuous, naive, and downright foolish, just like anyone else, probably twice as often in our youth~ Capricorn seems to be a sign you grow into (or maybe we all do to some extent?) Our redeeming qualities are the same though, dedication when warranted, perseverance, tempered ambition/will, and heaving a strong backbone/hide on the outside. (without getting into negatives, because nobody needs to be reminded of how gloomy goats can get from time to time, right?) ---

You have an intense moon, probably (I would honestly think), makes your emotions run deeper and seethe to the surface more often.... once you get a handle over that, and find a passion to dedicate all your Cappy-Virgoan-Scorpionic energy towards, you'll probably adjust to the idea of being a Capricorn better overall~ cause it's only one piece of you~ and you don't have to make it the whole picture... your chart makes you a whole picture~ complicated and beautiful~ <3

sorry for rambling~!

*snort* all us lazy goats resent work and school at some point in our lives~ lol (rather dedicate our time to our "personal ambitions", and "earthly pursuits"... yayaya)

I also have a Virgo ASC, and it takes over my Cappy placements. It is a very strong ASC to have. And so is your Scorp Moon. So, it's no wonder you don't feel very goatish. But underneath it all is your Sun--keeping it all together and making things mesh well.

I said, "why do you still work when you are getting so ill, you should be resting and enjoying the countryside with PopPop"?

To which my (Gemini Sun) grandmother, very flatly responded, "SM, dear... I like expensive things; I like things of value and quality and I'm use to having them for myself. I enjoy buying nice things for myself and others, and there is no greater satisfaction than having earned them on your own."

She was a woman of high pride, almost obnoxious at times, very strong old bird~ I took what she said to heart, she always had a way to just cut out the bullsh^t and get things done no matter what~ always respected that about her.

I wonder sometimes if she had any Capricorn in her chart or just a lot of Saturn influence? (But she was a home birth, born in the early 1930s backwoods, that information is unavailable.)
