sand: What sign was the biggest suck up u know?

Capricorn Sun.

"What were his aspects to planet suckup?"
---Hers actually. Very afflicted.

I'm with Venus on this one, the Sun has to be strong to stand on its own.
At least that's what I gathered from your post, chica. If you didn't mean that then I'm putting this out there since it deserves mention.

Reading through the rest of the thread it seems I'm with T as well.

I don't know of any one Sign who sucks up more than any other. Any such hypotheses are speculative at best. It's probably more of a personality defect than a Sun Sign trait. But for the record, I have several Cappy placements, and maybe it's tempered with other aspects of my chart, or maybe with my numerological vibes, but I never suck up to anyone. Not even to the IRS or to judges. But I still tend to get my way (usually through strength and standing firm to my principles), and I have no shortage of people in high places who tend to offer help to me when needed, without really asking them (23 vibration). Caps are upwardly mobile for sure, but I've never known any to be kiss-ups. They work hard and earn what they get. But there could always be other placements at work to create a bad apple in a Cappy or in any Sign.

I think Libra often gets a bad rap for this. But I don't see it as sucking up. Libras like to build up their significant other. That can be a coveted trait.

This is a good point. I can see every sign being a suck-up potentially since everyone is different, even headstrong Aries could end up being a suck-up or pushover type if they have other effects in his/her chart like Mars in Pisces or Moon-Venus or something like that. I think Libra placements just tend to get the bad rap for suck-up as you said Randall, because we like to build up those we are interested in. But it's just that - if we aren't really into the other person, a boss or whomever, we WON'T suck up to them, or build them up. We'll probably give them a cooler vibe but not be outright mean. On the other hand, our desire to build up others since we're the partnership sign can make us seem like suck-ups to other people, but if we genuinely want to mesh and get somewhere with someone, we can just... overdo it sometimes, but it's usually good natured. That's why this sign is known to be 'naive' at times.

The OP asked who were the most likely to suck up, not least likely.

I'm not a suck-up. I'm a business woman. I do what needs to be done, because if we're all the same, then why harm others unless the people who have treated you kindly deserve otherwise?

We're all different in that aspect. Survival of the fittest does have its place even though its like a very small percentage because in the end you still have to fend for yourself against that big bad world.

Just to be clear, this is how I see sucking up as well.

It seems to me that Cappies are the most likely to suck up to someone else, but it's not worship, today's golden child to them can be tomorrow's has-been, and they tend to be ambitious hard workers and sucking up is just "playing the game," not about actual worship, and if the said Cappie has a Scorp-dominated chart I wouldn't want to be the one sucked up to that took a sucking up Cappie for granted as I expect very bad things to befall the one being sucked up to if the Cappie doesn't get what's expected. I see nothing spineless about a Cappie sucking up, it's pure strategy to them.

I could see Libra as a suck up, but I think it's more accurate to say "two-faced." The unevolved Libra does try to please everyone to an unhealthy degree that inevitably alienates more people than are pleased, and at their worst they'll dazzle you with their smile, support, and flattery before putting a dagger in your back with swift, cruel cunning (and you'll still be smiling until you realized you just been back stabbed and may even have a hard time believing it was the sweet Libra who did it). The more evolved Libras, however, don't do that, and they can make excellent impartial judges, and as bosses (if evolved) they can often be one of the most understanding you'll ever have (though they might get anal about how you're dressed), and that's not about sucking up to employees and the like but giving others a fair shake (and woe to the fool who mistakes understanding & compassion for spinelessness to take advantage of).

Mars in Pisces is NOT a suck up sign. And "building someone up" IS kissing up. Instead of telling them how they feel they would rather give them half truths. Which all in all whether intentions are good or bad is WRONG!

Sags are known for their independence & bluntness, Aries for their egotism & impulsiveness, and Aquas for their independent, detached & contrarian natures, so they're the least likely to be suck ups.

I've been especially close (that is I know them very well and how they get along with others, not just the mask they show to me) to 2 Sags (Dad and current partner), 3 Aries (Granny, cousin, former lover), and 2 Aquarians (BFF and former lover) and all have been people to rock the boat and I've never known any of them to suck up, even when it was a really good idea for them to do so. Most of those of these 3 sun signs I casually know haven't been inclined to be suck ups either.

I can sort of see Libra (especially the unevolved ones), but as I said before I think it's more accurate to call them two-faced and/or trying to keep everyone happy that they have to interact with so all work in harmony (but that also makes it hard for them to pick sides and so are rejected by many as having divided loyalties). Even then many Libras won't hesitate to offer an "alternate view" to balance the scales which can upset a lot of people. And a Libra with his/her scales out of whack can be like an evil twin to their normal harmonious selves, grumpy and scathingly sarcastic.

Aries would be LEAST likely....They'd be like the last one.

Surprised nobody has mentioned Virgo. Sure I've seen Leos, Sagittarius, and Libra and some Pisces people in the act of sucking up, but more often than not (in my life at least), it's been a Virgo.

Though I knew this Gemini guy who did A LOT of sucking up. And another one, actually...

At my work, I find out everyone's birthdays one way or another. In my experience the biggest suck ups are Leo's, Sag, Libra & Gemini.

I was saying air and fire with the exception of Aries and Aquarius.

This is my experience. That's it. Yours might be different

That would most likely be a Leo, Aries probably can do a better job then most people. There confidence stems from there abilities. A warrior is only as good as his/her strength. Capricorn and Aries are similar in that way, Mars (Aries) is exalted in the 10th house. Although capricorn is the general and Aries (the soldier) gets all the recognition.
