I like kidding around a lot in general and I always laugh at myself.. I'm Aries/Cap/Gemini, with Mercury square Myanus -- My ex was very anti-any kind of mockery... mainly if directed at him.. He has BPD so he would get extremely hurt and angry, thinking everyone is abandoning him over the smallest comment (said in jest). Sun- Aquarius Moon - Pisces Asc - Taurus Mercury - Pisces Venus - Aquarius (conj Jupiter) Mars - Sagittarius (conj Saturn) -- A friend with Asperger's was often really confused as to what the joke was - and what the point of joking in this manner is... and sometimes he also took it the wrong way as insulting. Sun - Leo Moon - Leo Asc - Unknown, but possibly earth Mercury - Cancer Venus - Cancer Mars - Leo IP: Logged |

If I am going though a hard time and it's making me not feel good about myself I am more likely to get upset, and not be able to take a joke about myself, and take it personal. When my life is going awesome, I will crack up. Even if someone is trying to purposefully insult me. I don't know I'm moody. haha Gemini ASC, Aries Sun, Scorpio Moon, Taurus Mercury, Venus Pisces, Aquarius Mars, Leo IC IP: Logged |

I laugh at myself and poke fun at myself quite a bit. I would say my cap stellium and my 3rd house stellium really highlight this. I have a bit of a morbid sense of humor sometimes though, especially with myself. It goes from morbid, to outrageously inappropriate, to dry (puns, double entendres, etc). ------------------ "Do not let the behavior of others destroy your inner peace." -Dalai Lama IP: Logged |

If I am comfortable with someone, yes. (Moon conjunct Jupiter.)Some people do it simply to be rude, and I walk away from the conversation. (Capricorn Venus). IP: Logged |

Could very well be. I've got quite a bit of Neptune and Sag. I've done and continue to do some extreme physical stuff and sometimes for no point. Maybe the sag action itself leaps before the Neptune thinks, but Neptune in the clouds helps ease the pain. I've got a Pisces sun and Sag Mars, respectively. ------------------ All that glitters is not Gold. IP: Logged |

I've got a Sag stellium, and I'm not clumsy. I've read Sag suns are, and my sun isn't Sag. It could also be that the Libra sun and stellium in my chart helps bring some Libra Balance to the mix (plus Leo ASC for catlike grace). It could also be that Sag is less concerned about spilled milk (literally) so isn't as mindful as a result. (When I was younger, I took a lot of spills, but wasn't worried about minor scrapes & bruises, nor in looking foolish for taking a fall, so I could be seen that way more, and maybe that's why Sag is said to be more clumsy, just because they hide it less.)

With neptune in the clouds and sag impulsivity that does explain a lot... IP: Logged |

I haven't, either, but I'm afraid to mention it at times - not so keen on tempting fate.

In a way, I can't help it - I've got hyper mobility in arms and legs and Pisces Jupiter in 8th. On that note, I don't mind testing my limits, but tempt is something else; also not funny personally to me at all. Yes - karma in this case and better instant than later on. ------------------ All that glitters is not Gold. IP: Logged |

My Gemini and air influence, Moon trine Saturn (yes, points to seriousness but only a few things will ruffle my feathers. Idk maybe it means I love (moon) deprication (Saturn)?) Heck, maybe all my Aries placements. I do love anything concerning me, even if it's a little teasing. IP: Logged |

all good points!! If that trine was a square though it might be a different story perhaps... With the right execution and in the right context some of my best laughs I have had involve me laughing at myself, honestly; jupiter riser and ac in sag square mercury, neptune in sag in the first with sag been my strongest sign and neptune my strongest planet. But I can be sensitive to criticism too specially when younger and I am thinking mercury conjunct Mc semisquare saturn is why. Evolved Saturn would value some constructive criticism that is executed right with the right intentions though.

Sorry! The comment I'm thinking of, where you said something self-deprecating, was not even true of you, in my opinion...it was just clever...the humor was in the shock value. IP: Logged |

Agreed because I have Venus square Saturn, I don't like it when guys I like tease me before I know they really like me. I don't think anyone would "enjoy" it really but others might not take it to heart like I would. quote: With the right execution and in the right context some of my best laughs I have had involve me laughing at myself, honestly; jupiter riser and ac in sag square mercury, neptune in sag in the first with sag been my strongest sign and neptune my strongest planet.
Jupiter... I bet you're a riot. Sagittarius placements aren't always funny but Jupiter itself is ha-larious. Neptune in Sagittarius in the 1st... yeah I can see how that would dissolve the ego a bit. quote: But I can be sensitive to criticism too specially when younger and I am thinking mercury conjunct Mc semisquare saturn is why.

I laugh at myself too much. My Moon in Gemini is to blame, for when I'm alone I tend to become a huge weirdo. I'm also an Aquarius with a Stellium of 5, so I am naturally weird anyway. Later, my Scorp Ascendant writhes in agony because of it. It's like, "Eew, never do that again." lol I also want to add that I have an Aquarius IC, so that makes me talk to myself 24/7 lol.

Yes. I laugh at my own jokes and hysterically laugh when other people are mocking me. Due to my Sag Stellium perhaps.IP: Logged |

I don't always do so well when others are mocking me. I was bullied in school, and then in recent years, and that kills me. I'm talking nasty mockery, versus gentle teasing. IP: Logged |

Till some years ago, I didn't laugh at myself..almost at all! I guess sth having to do with my capricorn asc. or venus/merc. in cancer, sun on cancer/leo cusp? I don't really know, just guessing. But my brother has helped me a lot in this, he loved teasing and mocking at me since he was a little kid (we are born 12 years apart!) and I gradually started to laugh at myself, too. Or it has something to do with my progressed planets, I don't really know! :-/ Now I really love it, there's nothing better than having a sense of self-sarcasm, I think! Btw, my brother is a Sun/Moon Gemini, if that helps! IP: Logged |

Well, in person, hell yeah! It helps that I'm a big-time klutz. Normally, I'm quiet and soft-spoken. But with my friends, very boisterous. I thoroughly enjoy it, and so do my friends! Although some of my humour is kinda dark and makes them uncomfortable at times (blame it on the 8H Scorp mercury). Having fun with my buddies is very important to me. So is the ability to see the humour in any situation. Dunno which of the following placements account for it: Libra sun/Aqua moon perhaps? or Venus-Jupiter love of good times? Edit: Progressed merc in Sag: I accidentally cracked a joke on our VP when I was hosting a serious event. Luckily for me, he's a Sag and took it sportingly. I didn't even realize what I'd said until the hall erupted in guffaws. Ofc, I was so embarrassed, coz normally I'm not the type to have such moments (compering, debates and the like are my comfort zone things). Many such #FootInMouth events till I learn to handle the progressed merc. **please don't quote, I shall erase this soon ** IP: Logged |
