**Here is a fun, little project I worked on tonight about how each Sun sign may behave online, particularly on a forum such as LindaLand. I would be thrilled to receive feedback and see how accurate a user finds his/her Sun sign description to be! **Aries: Posts spontaneously when a burning question comes to mind. More likely to start threads. Not a big fan of long, drawn-out topics. Likes to be helpful, but may be uncomfortable with giving theoretical advice in support topics. (Aries prefers to act, not meditate on something, and wants others to do the same.) Aries likes to pay it forward, and does not usually believe in attacking other on forums - he/she will only lash out if his/her personal integrity is threatened, but will cool off just as easily. Taurus: Straightforward but not extremely forceful in stating opinions on threads. Likes to see how old threads are currently relevant in the community. Sticks to an opinion and will defend it if challenged. Good at making a few close forum buddies and sticking by them. If a forum buddy is attacked, Taurus will actively stand up for his/her buddy and become surprisingly aggressive or pointed. Taurus likes forums that are drama-free…if there is fighting, Taurus will remove him/herself immediately. Gemini: Likes to tell stories in threads and replies. Actively seeks input and ideas from others to bounce back and forth. May post to a thread multiple times in the course of hours/days/weeks/months with new or contradictory thoughts and opinions. Likes quick, spontaneous exchanges, expression of wit from self and others, innovative ideas, and polls. Can be surprisingly temperamental when an opinion/idea is challenged, though unlikely to explode. Most likely to enjoy writing/reading articles about astrology, tarot, etc. Cancer: Seeks emotional support, friendship, and advice from forums, but may not open up easily - Cancer wants the support but it's hard to always reach out for it. May be a little sensitive (or a lot sensitive, but good at hiding it) if someone is blunt toward him/her about a thread/reply. Cancer may retreat from a forum for days to weeks if he/she feels annoyed with the forum activity or another user. Hesitant to post too much about him/herself unless he/she has been around the forum for a while. Can consciously or unconsciously choose 'favorite' users that they like to exchange and write with, since they are comfortable with building a familiar support base (like Taurus). Leo: Interested in socializing on the forum. Likes quick, rapid fire conversation but also conversation that is more emotionally charged, so as long as it does not get too 'heavy' all the time. May be blunt or impulsive in stating opinions, but without harmful intentions. Likes to joke around and post GIFs for fun and in response to other users. Most likely to feel offended if a thread he/she starts does not get attention. May post the most on his/her own thread, or a thread that catches his/her interest. Enjoys receiving praise for whatever they do online, in terms of what they say, write, etc. Friendly and open to almost everyone, though if he/she gets into an argument with someone about something personal, Leo may turn cold to this person for a while. Virgo: Usually frequents self-help and advice topics. Wants to be supportive to other members in practical, soothing ways. Good at giving solid advice to other members, but may be shy about reaching out and posting a thread seeking advice for themselves. Virgo will appreciate topics about the workings of the self: how the mind works, how certain placements affect the personality, and so forth. Second most likely, after Gemini, to enjoy writing and educating others about astrology, tarot, etc. but also topics like health, self-care, etc. Libra: Likes to reply to other topics vs. starting his/her own threads. Enjoys giving advice to others (similar to preceding sign, Virgo) but more likely to appreciate giving/receiving advice about self-development and romance above all. Secretly, he/she may dream of being the most popular user on the forum. Like Leo, Libra is also likely to feel hurt if a thread he/she starts is not well received. Libra is usually charming and makes friends online. The second most likely to disappear when conflict occurs on the forum, after Taurus. Scorpio: Appreciates topics that immediately grab his/her interest; can easily glaze over everything else. Likely to only post a reply to a thread that truly intrigues him/her. Replies are either blunt and to the point, or extensively thought out and personal - it depends on the Scorpio's mood, and also the topic at hand. Like Cancer, Scorpio does not easily share too many personal details on the forum unless a high level of trust is established in the community. Most likely to confidently call out someone on his/her ******** on a forum. Like Taurus, Scorpio will defend forum buddies in their time of need. Sagittarius: Second most likely, after Scorpio, to call ******** on someone's opinion or thread. Sagittarius has a tendency to 'correct' someone that gets under his/her skin because he/she cares about having a fun forum community - bullies and naysayers bother this sign the most. Sagittarius is not afraid to post a controversial opinion and tell it like it is, even if feelings are hurt. However, Sagittarius is not above apologizing (eventually) for offending anyone. Sagittarius likes topics (and users) to be bold and unapologetic. Try to force your opinion on a Sagittarius, and you're asking for trouble. Capricorn: Most likely to want to take on a mod-like role or become a mod. Prefers a forum to have structure, with people posting in the correct sections. Likes reading through self-help and advice forums, as Capricorn may have the tendency to become worried about his/her personal progress. Likes to offer solid advice, but only when it seems necessary; he/she must be drawn to offer words of wisdom, and won't bestow them if the concern is superficial. Capricorn does not like crybabies or 'victim' personalities on forums. He/she also does not forget those who have been rude, annoying, etc. to him/her and everyone else. Aquarius: Prefers innovative topics, and like Sagittarius, some ridiculous topics that are just for fun. More likely than not to sit back and objectively enjoy banter, even drama, between two or more parties because of this sign's detached and wizened quality. Likes to socialize on the forum, but usually won't become too worried when a friend takes leave. Most likely to post an unexpectedly brilliant comment. Typically enjoys friendly, low-key threads; may be too detached to mod despite intrinsically understanding how a forum should work. He/she can typically provide quick, intuitive insights about how placements and aspects work. Pisces: The most likely of all 3 Water signs to risk vulnerability on the forum by being openly emotional and sharing personal details. He/she is highly compassionate and thorough in response to other users, and also the most likely to feel slighted and depressed if other users don't provide a similar depth in feedback. Uncanny with intuiting what posts will be popular so he/she knows where to post in order to receive the most feedback. Pisces likes validation and feedback about comments he/she makes. Pisces may become too emotionally invested in helping solve others' problems online and on forums. This sign is the most easily moved by a touching story or tale of woe, and it can stick with him/her for a long time. **So...do you relate to your Sun sign? ** IP: Logged |

Thanks! I was thinking that everyone can definitely relate these sign descriptions to more than the Sun. I particularly related to my own Sagittarius description for my Sag rising, LOL. Unlike Sag, though, I'm not always great at calling people out on their BS! X') IP: Logged |

Haha, oh man...I know how you feel! And for Libra Suns and Libran people on forums, it's very, very difficult to turn away from conflict - it's like there's a burning desire to see SOME kind of resolution before disappearing. IP: Logged |

Glad you found it accurate! You are a Virgo Sun, no? But on the Leo cusp? So perhaps both descriptions ring true for you, if I remember correctly. IP: Logged |

Pretty much agree with Gemini and Cancer, except for Gemini I don't like going to a lot of forums and posting multiple times. Exceptions for Cancer, don't care about forming a "family" or playing favorites, I post to everything I find interesting, don't care who posted it. Don't care if people are blunt either, it's fine with me. Also agree with Virgo description.IP: Logged |

Ahh, thanks! I'm so glad you found it accurate, for all of your major astral bodies/angles! I developed this partly from real life experience, partly from astrological knowledge, and a lot of it from intuition, haha...so I wasn't sure how well it would be received. IP: Logged |

Ooh, OK - I remember now, you had many personal Virgo planets. I was actually thinking Leo for you, so I wasn't sure where I was getting Virgo from for the Sun sign, haha! You do really seem to exude a Leonine quality, though a more low-key one that's cool. IP: Logged |

I'm glad much of what I wrote resonated with you! For some, there will definitely be exceptions to the basic descriptions of the signs, altered by the different placements and aspects you have in your natal chart. If you have prominent Gemini, for example [since you mentioned Gemini] you'd definitely be less likely to worry about having an online 'family' since Gemini is so versatile. IP: Logged |

You're welcome! I sensed a Leonine energy to your personality right away. I'm happy to know that my post reminded you of your intrinsic Leo flair! IP: Logged |

Yes and no. So I definitely come across as a mix of my ASC, Sun, Moon, and Mercury, but people still think I'm Fire influenced so something else has to be at play for me as well.IP: Logged |

Hmm, interesting! Thanks for the feedback. I'm not sure we've interacted too much - what's your Sun/Moon/ASC? IP: Logged | |
