That's why I look to Aquarius. It is the sign of eccentricity and one of a kindness. Some Caps won't have any planets in this sign while others might have several, including the Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars, considered more personal than the others. Capricorn sun could have more planets in Capricorn which would make them more traditional, earthy and conventional, or Sagittarius, which means they want more freedom and can be quite cheerful, blunt with a wicked sense of humor especially if Mercury is there. Mercury, the speaker planet, can be in any of these signs when sun is in Capricorn. Mercury in Aquarius is a sign of someone who is really good when speaking to groups of people or several friends. Likes to have a lot of buddies around. Can be a leader in the group and provide a lot of unique ideas, some could be a bit mischievous, trying to get friends do pull pranks and stuff.

Probably, you can blame NEPTUNE LOL!!! That planet, I notice, can cause a lot of confusion and a feeling that one lacks an identity. I can definitely relate to not feeling like a sun Virgo. I think the Libra stellium, Mars in Sag, and the Neptune singleton in Scorpio overtake the Virgo sun entirely. I spend a lot of time identifying with these other planetary energies and not the Virgo sun. Virgo is on the 12 house cusp of things repressed and hidden so maybe that's another possible explanation?

if she has made more than her trust i think she is at least worthy of her wealth. but that's imo. it's not always about amount of effort put in. look at one of the taurus billionaires james dyson the inventor of the bladeless fan. i'm sure there are countless inventors/ engineers out there working hard but he made it coz his ideas were practical/ sell-able at this momemnt in time. i meant people that put you to school, sparked an idea, got you your first job, your first investor, a partnership, etc..

First, you need an ascending sign...do you have your natal chart? Look and see which sign is ascending, then find the house which has Capricorn on the cusp and the stellium should be somewhere near this house. IP: Logged |

The way I see it is, anyone is worthy of the wealth unless they are awful like drug cartels or pimps. I would not deny the Hiltons their money just because the generation before made most of it. This is not my intent. Someone who inherits is most likely going to be in a position to explore their options more, and have more time to devote to their life's ambition which is what Paris does, I assume. By self made, I mean someone who puts a lot of time and energy into actually acquiring the money opposed to someone who has the money fall in their lap and can afford to take risks and explore their particular fancies.

I find the rulers of different signs can overpower a chart's sun if it isn't angular, dominant or laden with aspects. A conjunction or opposition tends to intensify the importance of the sun in a natal chart. [/B][/QUOTE]do you think saturn as chart ruler can overpower say sun in leo? because sometimes I feel more like a capricorn than a Leo sun. IP: Logged |

It depends on the chart. Where Saturn is and the sign is very important. You compare it to the sun. In the case of Leo, the sun is very strong. The house can modify the strength. Angular houses 1,4,7 and 10 are the ones where the sun, moon and planets have the most influence in day to day life. The MC and Ascending degrees are important, so is the Descending degree and the IC. IC is toward the bottom of the cart, MC somewhere near the top. It's corresponds to the directions north and south. If you have the sun in Leo where it rules with it near a cardinal point or in a cardinal house, it is going to be a major influence in the chart. If it is weakened by aspect or house, it won't be as noticeable. I think a lot of it relates to genetics and upbringing. You are born with a predisposition then your parents, friends and educators either let you develop naturally or they try to mold you into something different. I think a weak sun can signify someone who was molded while powerful sun is someone who is allowed to develop their natural inclinations more. Sun will intensify if the aspects are conjunction or opposition and to a lesser extent, square. The more aspects, the more important the sun will be in the chart. Saturn can be a strong planet if it is in a sign it rules or exalted (Libra or Aquarius depending on the astrologer,) or if it is in an angular house. It is strong if it conjuncts ascending degree, MC especially or descending degree. It is accidentally exalted in house 7. Some say it has an affinity with house 12. You compare the sun in your natal chart with Saturn and decide which one you think is stronger and that is the one which will influence your life more. So you could be Saturnine even though you are sun Leo if Saturn aspects a lot of planets, especially the Leo sun, or if it is prominent in your chart. IP: Logged |

quote: Originally posted by sweet-scorpion: I think earth signs can be materialistic... sometimes. It all depends on the chart at large. Like, I have my MC in an earth sign but it is widely conjunct my Moon, trine Neptune and Uranus, and sextile Pluto and Mars. I don't consider myself materialistic at all - especially because I have earth sign Uranus in my 2nd house. So despite having a major Earth planet + angle I am definitely not materialistic in the sense that my major life goal is $$$$$. On the other hand, I've seen Virgo and Taurus be very materialistic... someone I know had Virgo Mars in the 2nd trine a Taurus MC and they were all about practicality to earn $$$, his Sun was in Leo in the 12th square his MC...and he didn't want to pursue an artistic career because it wasn't 'realistic' enough even though he liked art. A relative has 3 Taurus planets, all opposed my natal Scorpio ones, and it really really grates on my nerves that they are a genuine, bonafide workaholic. Taurus influences made it an artistic-ish career... but still. It just bothers me since they don't try to explore much of anything else in life except providing.
And I forgot my Mc is in capricorn and mars too.

im not sure they are materialistic in general...but... when ive met very materialistic people, they always end up being earth signs. usually, taurus or virgo. caps have more of a strong work ethic, which is different.ive also met some materialistic cancer suns.... but yeah, the taurus guy who hooked up with the richer girlfriend and the virgo who would always talk about this cap girl who had met these famous people, and...was in a better economic status than moi... so, yes...materialistic and shallowish? maybe...

It is not a good time to be a Cap Sun(Merc) Tauro Moon Virgo rising The Earthians I've known have all been over-achievers, to one degree or another (some being creatures of necessity only, others being lovers of quality and extravagance)... but, they don't take what isn't rightfully theirs, or more than their share of anything, they are also extremely charitable, tending to contribute first, and most to causes of great importance to either the welfare or advancement of everyone, even the ones who come off as severely lacking in empathy. We set realistic goals for ourselves, we stick with these ambitions against all odds, almost without exception or detour; we endeavor to keep to them, and pace ourselves, you'll always see even a fire-born Earthian pace himself calculating distances and possible outcomes (despite being the least imaginative in element we always find a way of seeing potential disaster, in full glory and bitter detail).... we (Earthians) are keenly aware of what is going on around us, because we are cautious.... if that puts us in a position where we can obtain things that are unavailable to others.... we're only doing what I believe any other sign would in the same position... it's just we get their more often... like those billionaires mentioned... we recognize them by their wealth, but tend to not be aware of the time, prioritizing, personal sacrifices, and foresight, and compromising/negotiating that they had to endure just to make their investments prosper... so it really seems to come down to how we define materialism... just like YTA has said earlier on... that is something different to each of us, for the most part it seems... but, I'm entirely biased by default. I wouldn't care one shake or nod what anyone thought or said of me, if I had the wealth of my own, I'd be living it up like Streisand... collecting my dues and nothing more~ (Streisand being a Taurus with Cap MC)~ lol materialism (a materialistic entity) to me means someone who is interested solely on procuring items of status or value (by whichever system) and often whatever means necessary, that are beyond the effort and sacrifice they've made to obtain them; are interested in having these items, and then some, only for the sake of having them and nothing more; or, are only interested in things of physical value, to the exclusion of all humanitarian and interpersonal virtues... that's materialism to me... hm... I'm none of those *thankfullyornot* ... (~_~ ) IP: Logged |

I guess I can be a case study that the natal chart only portrays the energy flowing through the consciousness but is not the soul consciousness itself.Sun: Taurus Moon: Pisces Mercury: Taurus Venus: Taurus Mars: Taurus J:Leo, S:Virgo, P:Libra, U:Scorpio, N:Sagittarius 4 inner planets in earth but my old soul has no concerns about materialism except as it takes care of the physical body. I read somewhere that Bhudda had 6 planets in Taurus too. Maybe materialism isn't the right word for the topic. Maybe more in tune with the physical world? Without earth, there'd be nothing to stop air energy from getting out of control, nothing for fire to temper and illuminate and nothing for water to fertilize and nurture :=) IP: Logged |
