Since the MC represents the public persona or how people you don't personally know see you, stereotypes in high school can also be considered as a public persona because they work the same way.

I'd like to make this a poll thread. Feel free to join in and don't be shy about your stereotype. Note that this is not to make anyone feel bad about themselves or their high school experience. This is mainly for fun.

If you were popular, then tell me and state your MC. If you were one of the "different" kids, also do the same thing.

EDIT: Also, state any aspects to your MC or MC ruler, and the house your MC ruler is in.

I'll start.

I have Pisces MC and back in high school, I was one of the "artsy" kids. A lot of people knew me and I knew everyone, but I wouldn't consider myself "popular" based on high school standards. People just liked me but it wasn't like they worshipped me or anything, like they do actual popular people.

People knew me because I played the guitar, drums, and piano, and I was a member of my school's vocal ensemble and drum line. Aside from that, I posted pictures of my drawings and other artsy stuff I made on Instagram.

I hung out with the misunderstood kids and people who were considered to be different.

Also, I felt like no one really knew who I was unless they're really close to me. People always perceived me as the girl who was lost in her own little world. When my closest friends first got to know me, they didn't realize I was the ambitious Leo or the intelligent Virgo mercury I am.

I'd say that's a pretty Pisces MC thing.

I left high school in my junior year, got my GED and went on to college. I don't miss it at all. I do miss college, though.

Sagittarius MC.

Jupiter in Leo/6th house. Jupiter is sextile my Moon & Mars, trine my MC, and part of a yod that involves my Moon/Mars and Uranus (the apex) in my 11th. Explains why I've never been afraid to go my own way in high school and with my career/public image.

In the beginning, I thought nothing of myself, socially. I had no expectations. Apart from my close circle of friends, I didn't care what anyone thought of me, I considered myself invisible. Fitting for Chiron in Aries...where sometimes the person feels as if they don't exist. All the moreso with my Pisces moon square Neptune.

I was happy with my own company, in my dream world. I had self-confidence based on the fact that I could keep myself amused whether people were there or not.

Somehow I think that was the secret to my eventually gaining a lot of friends. No self-esteem about the normal stuff (thought I was ugly and ridiculous) but self-esteem based on spirituality or something.

(ETA: how could I forget those who thought I was a Satanist? At least in the rural school it was only kids who got that dumb. But there was also a high school counselor in a big city school who thought that as well, which is a scandal that someone like that could get hired as a counselor!)

I just checked someone else's chart who has said a lot about high school and it doesn't fit there either, that I can see.

Mm.. I guess it doesn't apply to everyone. Anyway, it's just a theory I'm testing out. So far, everyone else seems to relate.

But that's actually quite interesting about having your MC on a cusp. I think the two signs would have an effect on you somehow, plus taking into account the aspects. "Big city girl" sounds pretty Gemini as Gemini might like all the excitement in the city. Idk about the "hick" part, though. Not sure if that's a Taurus thing or not.

Besides my other characteristics of my personality (ASC) my attitude towards what I want to be known for in life and the world is pretty Aquarian.

I was definitely known for having a lot of friends.. I was popular.. These all weren't real friendships though... I guess mostly they were to prove to myself that I had friends.. So they were mostly good acquaintances.. I also have Saturn in my 10th house 😉
I'm extremely shy so I call these acquaintances that I'd socialize with friends as a way of proving to myself they won't be mean or hurt me because we are on good terms

Not that everyone else will but when you are called friends you know they have your best interests at heart...

I hung out with the metalheads, punks and emos. I also went to school early just to study in the library with the nerds and geeks too. I loved music so I was always in band practice, even IF it wasn't a class I was supposed to take I would always go and sit in anyways. The band teacher loved me. I also was in his orchestra class (classically trained musician here). My first BF was a metalhead drummer who was an Aries and it was always butting heads with him.

I guess people saw me as fun, friendly, alot of people knew me and felt that I had a very domineering attitude. Commanding/demanding. I was known as the girl who "kicked ass" and "slapped ******* " if they crossed me.

I have always thought that was my Scorpio ASC/Venus/Merc/Pluto going to work though. Guess not!

I can identify with that very much.

However, my MC is supposedly at 0 Taurus. I don't think that describes at all how I was stereotyped in high school (my Aqua Dsc would, though).

I don't know if an Aries MC would be better; I do think I was seen as moody and somewhat aggressive by some people. I did get into my share of trouble, and maybe a bit rough around the edges sometimes.

Maybe I have Aries MC,or it's just that I don't have any planets in H10, and other placements are more noticeable.

I definitely don't think that Taurus fits how I was seen, although it does fit how I'm viewed at work, and how I view my job.

I hanged out with the alternative people and the sporty ones.
I was popular and I knew many people because of representing the school in sports competitions for years.

Among the most troublesome acquaintances and friends, I was one of the few who was always responsible and not involved in messy situations.

I was pretty much a loner and i did what i wanted. I was surprised when people told me I was popular. I used to just do my own thing. Everyone knew me, liked me, hated me, talked about me, smiled in my face, talked about me behind my back, admired me, resented me...but i didn't care..I spoke my mind and wasn't afraid to be who I was...especially by the time I turned 16. I used to feel guilty for being myself..but that changed
