Do You Like Acting on Impulse? - no... god, no~ (lessons learned) - I gotta rein in my husband from impulsive purchases - and, try to keep his horse blinders on all the time out shopping (that's about it)... if I let go - we're all gonna fall outta the tree!
even if it makes you look like a bad person?
I don't care what I look like to someone else - but, being reckless... though I'm adventurous still (I plan well enough ahead, and remember Murphy's law, keep my bases covered).... well... being reckless is easy when you are young, no responsibility - light consequence/no consequence - rebellion phase - all that jazz... but, once you reach that point in life that you have consequences and responsibility (job, family, bills) - you usually cease to engage in the same reckless, impulsive, hormonal, behaviors... ^^;
Like flirting or even sleeping with someone else's gf/bf ? Or cheating on your partner?
- ...even in my impulsive days - this was not on my agenda.
Or breaking someone's heart by saying hurtful things when they make you angry?
- This can happen even when you are not impulsive- again lessons learned... now that I'm older I know how to handle my anger well enough not to let things go that far, and my husband knows me well enough to understand that I need my space when we are at odds, and talking can only happen after I feel calmed. He's more prone to this kind of thing than I am - he's the type to throw everything he has ever known about someone back at them in a heated fit, even when he knows how sharp those words are and how deep those old wounds are.
Drinking and partying too much?
- I've never gone too far overboard on either - everything in moderation... you get drunk a few times you learn your limits... and stop pushing them... the glamour of partying and drinking wore off years ago.
Doing things you know you shouldn't do but you just don't care?
- I think this ^ goes with what I said above... when you have consequences for your actions like jail time, hefty fines, and have other obligations in life - you are less inclined to do reckless things - when you are not driven by substances, peer pressure, or hormones - acting out - and "not caring" - go away --- in healthy adults.
(The most impulsive thing I'd do these days -would be go to sleep before midnight. ^^; ouuuee - now that's a rush! lmao)
Aspects:
I have Saturn, Mars, and Pluto in the 3rd house - Scorpio
Mercury in Capricorn (cnj both Neptune and Jupiter in Sagittarius) house 4, in tight sextile with Mars-Pluto, and Saturn wide opposed Moon in Taurus 9th house.
I control my emotions (moon) with Saturn, and impulses (Mars) which is tight cnj Pluto who rules and corules this house natally are guided by my chart ruler and stellium; (Mercury and Gemini are traditionally the rulers of the 3rd.) Reasoning dominates my action, my drive. I like to have a good time, and do things spontaneously - with most my planets in Sagittarius (Venus cnj Uranus), of course I do! But, I've seen too much of what comes from excess - and I want nothing to do with it. Family first, living a healthy and content life for my son takes priority... but, I still let loose - just responsibly. I control me... nothing and no one else.
Aspects that may contribute to Impulsive Behavior:
I think many different aspects can lend themselves to these behaviors - but would look at Mars, first. But, because each of these actions above involve either one or two subcomponents (Venus - desire/lust, Neptune - sensitivity/delusion, Jupiter excesses/brashness, Uranus - chaos/unconventionality), opposition, square, quincunx, or conjunction to the ASC or Sun/Moon, and a weakly-poorly placed/badly aspected Saturn, would all make likely candidates... (Saturn: a detriment, by sign/house/decan)
Mars can tell you a lot about a persons methods, ambitions, passion and resolve, but a lot of these activities are very much effected by time(age)/maturity/life experience though - and transits/progressions are worth a look over with these things too... sometimes people go through impulsive phases - maybe a harsh Uranus or Saturn transit to the natal, possibly coinciding with each other, or progressions, especially on 8th, 9th, and 12th houses - bringing out "unnatural" tendencies for them, or digging out old or hidden parts of themselves they felt they'd left behind or didn't even know they had inside them... the whole chart needs a look over. But, these are my thoughts if the person has only suddenly/temporarily become impulsive (recklessly or not), while a natal can grow out of these behaviors caused by "impulsive aspects".
