Is anyone out there extremly shy and awkward in social settings. What placements and do you think can cause this?I am the extreme example of shyness. I´m pushing 30 and still haven´t grown out of it. I suspect I never will. But I am starting to accept it, and I´m o with being the misfit nowdays. The things I´ve noticed that can cause extreme shyness and true introversion (based on my own chart ) is: Having all the luminaries in feminine signs
(I am capricorn sun, scorpio ascendant and scorpio moon.) Water moon Water ascendant Mars in 12th house Moon conjunction saturn What positions do you think contribute to your shyness,and how do you deal with it? IP: Logged |

I have cancer sun, scorpio moon, pisces rising and I am pretty shy as well. Also, I believe a lot of my introversion and shyness is due to anxiety cause by my sun opposite uranus and ascendant square pluto. The anxiety isn't that bad, but, bad enough to make me too nervous to socialize/branch out in life.IP: Logged |

When I was younger I was incredibly shy. Like, hiding behind my mom's leg and preferring not to engage with new people. I've come out of my shell as I've gotten older. But I'm still a loner by nature, can still get shy, but am quite mellow and easy to be around. The shyness developed into a wise, kind laid-back confidence of sorts. People like to be around me (sometimes too much for my liking) and will open right up to me and look to me for advice.I'm a triple earth sign. Equal amount of water throughout my chart (my chart is pretty balanced with the elements) My main two (Sun and Moon) are in 4th and 8th houses - very private houses. I feel lucky that I am comfortable with myself and don't need to be around people all the time, or to be in a relationship etc. I've a hard time understanding people who do. IP: Logged |

Cappy rising, gives that cool, calm collected, pulled together exterior......even when there is a lot going on underneath. It can also produce what appears to be a shy person, to those that dont' know them. What is your rising sign? IP: Logged |

T - Are you asking me? I have scorpio rising. I am highly sensitive. Funny, I think scorpio rising appears less shy than they are, if you don´t know us you´d think we´re not at all shy, because we have a tough exteriour. I guess then it´s the opposite of cap rising wich appears to be more shy than they are? IP: Logged |

I'm really shy.Not to complain about Saturn,but it's Saturn in my chart. It's in opposition to all my personal planets(except mars).It's also my chart ruler. IP: Logged |

I've known people with Moon in the 4th and Moon in Scorpio who can be on the shy side when it comes to a lot of socialization. One person had Moon in the 4th sq. ASC and they were very private and introverted and felt painfully socially awkward. They were more comfortable at home or with an intimate group. I'm sorry you struggle with shyness... as you said, it's best to make the most of one's idiosyncrasies vs. hating on them. Mars in the 12th can make one hesitant about expressing actions and/or sexuality. I can see where this could make you nervous about asserting yourself and being more outgoing. Moon conjunct Saturn also shows intense and serious, more reserved emotional nature. I'm a Moon-Saturn type, except I'm quindecile/almost opposition and a Virgo Moon. Despite the outgoing Saggie ASC at times I'm extremely overly serious emotionally, emotionally distant, and withdrawn or even shy. It's not common for Moon-Saturn types to be this way. So you are not alone. IP: Logged |

I have a Scorpio ascendant, and can still be that way, although I didn't start out that way (Uranus conjunct ascendant here). transits did it to me, and experiences. Saturn squares helped to form it, too, I guess.IP: Logged |

The shyest and most introverted people I know are nearly entirely earth and water. Two have Venus in masculine signs (Leo, Libra) and the other has Sun in a masculine sign (in Libra). Every other planet is in an earth or water sign.For them, they just love to stay home. My Libra friend, mentioned above, said she could probably go an entire day not leaving her room if she didn't need to go out for the washroom/eating. IP: Logged |

I agree with somethingexcellent, here..Earth + Water = shy, socially awkward. (unless there's a lot of Fire/Air in the mix, eh!) Makes sense! I have some people in mind that I consider verrry shy: - Scorp stellium, Pisces Moon, Cap rising ; - Cap stellium, Pisces Moon (and probably a water ASC) ; - Gemini Sun, Pisces Moon Okay... actually all the shyest people I know have a Pisces Moon rofl.
But generally speaking, Waterrr & Earth (they don't have to be "shy" but are often very private / go unnoticed).

Idk if you´re asking me, but my 11th house is in virgo, so I guess my 11th house ruler is mercury? It´s in capricorn. My mercury is also in capricorn.
I swear to god, I could go my entire life without ever saying a word in public.

Gemini Sun, Scorpio Moon & Scorpio Asc. I am terribly shy and uncomfortable around most people i don't know well especially of the opposite sex. I always try to avoid unnecessary social interactions and keep a low profile.IP: Logged |

My ex is painfully shy he has aqua sun square Taurus moon Venus in cap square Saturn I think shyness is one of the most endearing qualities a person can have! It's so cute :-) I'm the opposite of shy so that's probably why I find shy people so adorable <3 IP: Logged |

VERY shy over here. I've been described as painfully shy many times.Sun in the 12th house. I seem to melt into the background. You can throw in n.Mars into there, too. Taurus rising. I've read that this is the most unlikely rising sign to seek the spotlight, because humiliation is the *worst* thing that could happen to them. Yup! That's TOTALLY me. I just hate the idea of being laughed at by a group of people. It's much easier to be alone. Saturn in the 11th. Problem with groups of people. Again TOTALLY me. I'm the big wallflower at parties--if/when I even go to one. I have a TON of aspects to my n.Uranus. It definitely makes me an oddball, and probably explains why I attract Aquas like flies on s&it.

Rising: Virgo Sun: Scorpio Moon: VirgoI don't remember what, but I think it was a Square aspect that made me reserved. It makes me naturally reserved with my feelings and expression. ------------------ Rising: Virgo Sun: Scorpio Moon: Virgo IP: Logged |

This shows how you were raised more than anything else. I know people who are supposed to be shy through astrology but if a person is happy they are less likely to be shy. Shyness can't be detected because some people fake it. For a distant aspect Sun in 12th house Moon in the 12th house Neptune conjunct ascendant Also some aspects like a moon square pluto or neptune. It's not exactly shy aspects but they are more distant aspects, and sensitive ones. Rising signs show little information in my opinion. Take someone like Kanye West he has Cancer rising and he's not shy, he's a celebrity. IP: Logged |

Interesting I have a moon pluto square myself and while it doesnt make me shy per se it does make me defensive and tense which in turn makes me a bit stand off ish and closed off. IP: Logged |

HAHAHA. Oh, yeah. Like, yesterday. I didn't want to join nor participate in this one Kung Fu class so I hid in the bathroom for 2 hours. That was more comfortable, to be honest. At first I analyzed the atmosphere - didn't like it. Then I was asked to become a factor in it - yeah, um, no. So I faked to be sick and had a little tea party in the bathroom stall. It was hella cold in there too, but hey, it's perfect temperature for a Scorpio, right? Fixed Water = Ice. When I'm forced to make friends or get pushed into an atmosphere I'm uncomfortable with, I hide. I hide real good. ------------------ Rising: Virgo Sun: Scorpio Moon: Virgo IP: Logged |

Well in my experience even we can open up if we're happy. As we get older though we might keep the happy moments to ourselves as well because a lot of times people aren't trustable. What house the moon and pluto are in matter as well. My moon in the eighth house increases my sensitivity and psychic feelings I guess. Pluto is in the fifth house, which basically more or less rules leisure activities. IP: Logged |

My moon is in an air sign though and it's like 83% of my personality so i am a bit crazy at times and open. With moon pluto its either really open or not at all in my opinion. We get peace very small.
