Interesting. Mine is a Scorpio. I have a feeling this has to do with being dumb as well. Coz like they can't think.. See patterns.. So they follow and worship...

I wonder if this 'follow the leader" type chart has a counterpart in western. Though I haven't looked at it much. I know some famous people have that type of chart in that system. /shrug

just sun signs won't do...

I can think of at least one person from every sun sign that could each be qualified, *** laude even, for their superior brown nosing proficiency!

Life's a rat race... (no offense, *ahem* 84er)... you know what I mean.

Surely, there're aspects or various areas in a chart that would say how "good" one is at this sucking up~

The ones I've met/had to deal with were all very different even astrologically. So, it had to be something in the chart... not their sun... at least not their sun sign. Maybe an afflicted Sun or Ascendant... no???

EDIT but not Editing*

Oh! for heaven's sake! PARDON my LATIN! >.< I'm leaving it~ cause the censorship is ridiculous for this.... and for TEET-for-TAT... nonsensical.... absolutely... ugh

Probably strong Libra placements.

Honestly people who are difficult with authority figures are not very clever in my book. I see it all the time in college, and people wonder why professors fail them. You're not special and your opinion does not matter, get over your self lol

You have to assertive and very diplomatic to get far in this world. I don't hate suckups, because they only stroke other peoples ego. So its not really a bad thing, its just clever.

If someone sucks up because they are scared to stand on their own two feet and express their true opinions and they want to just be *liked* by others etc... Then -- maybe strong Cancer influence?

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

In that case: I'll do my part and contribute to the lambasting of these Solar suck-ups~

I'll be nice, and start with potentially the biggest arse kisser of the Western zodiac...

Capricorns... I don't think it's aspects to the planet... but aspects to the MC - ruling the 10th naturally --- surely it's a Capricorn's domain...

after my own signmates (of which there have been too many "ambitious" horned devils to single out~

I believe, perhaps... Libra would follow...
I've had many experiences, usually with the women... who have gone the extra mile to cake someone in compliments~
of course there's an agenda there - but, I'm not the type to care enough to judge...

As long as it doesn't effect me.

(Mommy dearest is very good at using this tactic... I like watching her act innocent while she does it.) ^^;

The best after that, would be Pisces, although I find they're technique very obvious... and their motives are usually very clear... like for instance my one dear friend, and my father... who flat out said, they would do whatever it takes to get what they want, or get out of trouble... even if it meant making "nicey-nice" with someone they actually had no respect for/despised.
That's pretty good suck-up mentality~ but, the real marvel is watching everyone fall victim to it so easily... lol *amused and not denying it* XD

after these... I'd nominate Aquariuses, though I seen more from teenager girls and older women than from the male half of the sign... these ones... they're devious when they decide to use this strategy.... you really gotta watch out, specially when they're your competition... they're good... real good. (of course... that's when they want to be.)
~ grandmama has this down to a science... I think she's the one who taught my mother... but mother is not so good at it as she is... lol Aquarians tends to be more believable in their approach to kissing up, brown nosing... whatever you want to call it. I in complete awe of their work here, not in the same way as with Pisces... I believe the difference is simple, with Pisces I think people should see it coming... but with Aquarius I find people never see it coming...

So basically, Caps are the best when it has to do with them succeeding... Libras are the best when it has to do with persuading someone into something/to their side, Pisces are really good at it when they want to gain something from the person/entity they are kissing up to, or when they're trying to distract/get out of something with it, and last but not least at all... Aquarius, who are just damn good at it, when they choose to be.

They're all very different, and have different styles of it... but,yeah... they're all masters in my most humble opinion.

Though in reality I could easily go through all 12 and give examples from each... but, I'm feeling too lazy for that~ *CapricornLazytime?!* yesh, you read that right.

~ disclaimer! - these are all experiences and observations shared from my slightly sardonic, almost bittersweet, personal perspective on the topic as questioned by the OP.
^^ ... in other words... nobody should be feelin'.... how do the kids say it these days... "butthurt" ~ yeah that! lol (so yeah - don't take things personally... we're all f'g guilty far as I'm concerned...
you know what they say... "let he without sin, cast the first stone") `sumtin' like dat! XD


And --- Odette~ I'm sorry to differ with you, but flattery which falls into arse-kissing/brown nosing/sucking up territory, if not one in the same with these, most of the time...

is a form of false worship
~ and the person who is doing the false worshiping, is appealing to the object they flatter by making themselves (at least appear) servile to them... (ergo: following... --- their lead/or their orders)

while it is manipulative, certainly so... it is also considered worship~ it wouldn't work so well, if you didn't bow down to the person/entity you are trying to win favour from/fool~ that's the whole point in using this tactic... praise, adulation... feigning humility, compliance, and modesty in order to gain the support of, or some advantage from or over another... so it all comes down to ingratiating yourself before others...
that's what I'm getting at~ ^^; again sorry~

lol

I can totally be a suckup if and only if I need to get something from that person and all other methods have failed. However I'm not very good at it and a person with half a brain will be able to tell I'm not being sincere.

The biggest suckup I knew was a Taurus Sun Cappy or Aqua Moon (cusp). No one took this guy seriously because he was also a major screw up and so nice that it was annoying.

The second one would be a cancer sun/libra moon.

Oh I probably did suck up in college. I suppose i got tired of getting booted out of schools.

But I don't think u should suckup to get far. Just make perfect moves. Always do the right thing in terms of work.

Right off the bat I can think of three Leos who were all major suck-ups. One Scorpio Sun, Aqua Moon, and one Taurus with Leo rising. All of them had their noses so far up someone's you-know-what it's a wonder any of them could smell a thing.

Suck ups

Can't stand them!!!

as for sign, I'd have to say Capricorn. They will kiss anyone's azz if they think there is a way they can benefit from them or use them in any way.
