I recently began a new job and yesterday one of my new coworkers was like, "You're really friendly. You must be an Aquarius." Lol. Turns out he is a Sag.

Does anybody here have any experiences with strangers or new people/virtual strangers correctly guessing your sun sign? Are people more or less likely to guess that you are your sun sign or your ascendant?

Many people have guessed my sign incorrectly. Often they thought Virgo or pisces. Idk why virgo because I dont have virgo or 6th house placements, or a prominent mercury. As for pisces, I have a 12th house stellium so I think that's what some people pick up.

Only one or two got it right. My sun/asc r in the same sign.

Never, firstly because the vast majority of the people I'm around don't believe in astrology (even for fun) so they don't even know the basics (Sun signs), and secondly, I am fairly sure I come across as my ASC rather than my Sun sign pretty often, at least in social/casual situations.

I think someone once commented on my being so unlike a Scorpio, precisely because I can have a very "light-hearted" presence and easy-going approach to things. Not that withdrawn or secretive (at least in demeanor - inside is a different thing).

However I've accurately guessed a few number of Sun signs based on online interaction, or if it wasn't the Sun sign, the person would have it as their Moon or something else explaining my choice.

12muddy,

I've read (and am starting to believe, though I need more examples of this) that houses work in polarities - so if you have a heavy 12H, there are "echoes" of the 6H in you, for the lack of a better expression. I can certainly relate to all things 12H and I have a 6H stellium (though technically my SN is in the 12H so I'm not sure if it's really legit in my case). Oh and a few folks that are into astrology said I have a Pisces vibe. Go figure. Something to ponder.

That's cool. Did you guess his as well?

Whenever I ask a person to guess my sign, I usually hear Scorpio (my IC, also my Venus/Asc duad) or even Pisces (12th House, Neptune aspects and DSC/8th house), but half of the time people can't even guess haha

When I say I'm a Leo, they look puzzled "LEEEO? You don't seem like a Leo". Pfff, ladies and gents, not all Leos are abnoxious, loud drama queens, who dress in glitter and wear gigantic 80's hair.

strangers have never come right up with something like that. you can open yourself up to a lot of trouble in a workplace. what if you were/are super-religious and got offended? some people can get really mad when you try this - i've had bad reactions from non-believers when i've guessed, so i don't do it anymore (out loud, anyway).

People always mistake for either a Leo or a Scorpio; Leo because of the hair, the Broad Shoulder build and the height and Scorpio because of the eyes .

They are kinda on the mark with the Leo guess since I am a Leo Asc. but they are usually surprised to find out that I am a Libra Sun .

Don't ever meet anyone who tries, or know anyone who has tried guessing. This is probably because I don't really know anyone besides myself who has an interest and/or studies astrology. Wish I did though. My SO finds it intriguing, but doesn't know enough about it to really 'do' anything with it. He only knows the little he does about it because of me.

My mom also has a little bit of interest in it too, but only because of what I have tried teaching her or talking to her about. She doesn't discount its accuracy, though. She told me a story one time of how when she was in her 20's, she was at a bar and some man walked in and said nothing but, "You're an Aquarius, aren't you?" And she is lol.

I can't say I have ever had anyone correctly guess my sun sign. I think my Leo Asc and my 10h Taurus Moon are too prominent for my Pisces to really shine through, even with my sun being my chart ruler. I feel my way through social/wprk situations and respond in a grand fashion to what is going on around me. There is very little about me or my personlity that is meek or demure, things people commonly associate with Pisces.

I have guessed the sun sign of numerous people that i work with, though! They are always amazed when i get it right lol. One guy that I'm good friends with now refused to tell me his birthday after I correctly guessed his Libra Sun. He said it was "creepy" that I could tell, but then went on to demand that I tell him HOW I could tell haha he's character.

only his pluto, actually. But he does have an 8h Saturn/Neptune/Uranus opposite his 8h ruler, Jupiter.

Interesting enough people have tended to guess me a Sag if they meet me in real life (though I'm not clumsy--but I've worked hard not to be, am actually Libra rather than Sag with a Libra stellium to match the Sag stellium, and a Leo ASC) but Scorpio on the net...I guess because I talk about some taboo and dark topics and tend to avoid small talk, though I'm sure if I had more Scorpio energy there are just some things I would not share at all that I do now. Nevertheless, my Libra stellium is on the Scorpio cusp (along with Jupiter all the way in Scorpio) and that Scorpio cusp stellium also includes Pluto (and Mercury).

That said, I've been told me and my mom both have a feline way in how we walk (we're both Leo ASC), but it's still different...described here if you'd like to scroll down to my post.

I couple of weeks ago a yoga teacher guessed my sign correctly. But to be completely hones, she's also an astrologer and, when I thought about it later, I'd left her so many giveaways that it was impossible not to guess. But mostly no, people don't usually attempt to guess my sign.
