What placements would you think attribute to someone who tends to think that people are too sensitive, as in sensitive to insults and need to grow thicker skin? I know Sagittarius can fall into this category, but what are your thoughts on this? ------------------ Aquarius Sun, Merc, Venus, Uranus, Neptune Scorpio Mars conj. Asc in First 8th House Moon opposite Pluto, Trine Uranus Have you caught onto the predicament I'm in yet? IP: Logged |

I think Mercury in Aries, Aquarius placements, and possibly Capricorn-influenced people.I'm just guessing though. I could be way off. IP: Logged |

I have a lot of Saturn;it trines my sun and as, conjuncts my moon, squares my Venus and quincunx mars. I always feel like people are just way too sensitive. Well I'm pretty sensitive too but I make sure to never show it lol IP: Logged |

I always think that (and sometimes I'm dumb enough to actually say it) but the reality is that I'm just as sensitive as they are, if not more. They just have different triggers.Sun trine Saturn and Mercury trine Saturn probably plays a part in that. Aquarius ASC might also explain why I do that...I act all tough, why can't you? Type of mentality. IP: Logged |

I think saturn, uranus aries, sag aquarius and gemini influence can show that. i have uranus jupiter and saturn influence in my chart and i esp can`t stand it when people are sensitive bc they are arrogant and think too highly of themselves and can`t take it when they are reminded of that they are not always right nor perfect. Even an non arrogant sensitive person got thicker skin than these people IME. The other type of sensitive i can handle better though IP: Logged |

I tend to think too much and take things personally in that I think I did something wrong, even if I might not have anything to do with the other person`s grumpiness. (I know about that tendency, so I try to detach from it, but sometimes it catches up with me). BTW somehow this helps me though to assist other people`s understanding when they get too sensitive about things. For example several colleagues are very sensitive about our boss not greeting them when meeting them and thinking he dislikes them or they did something wrong, but from my experience, observation (and analyzing cause I have been there myself. lol) I usually can help them understand that in most cases it has nothing to do with them, but his mind is just elsewhere. That`s like how he is. If he has something on his mind, he does not see anything nor anyone. Sun-Mercury-conjunction in Sagittarius (yes, too much thinking as part of my identity).
Mars-Neptune-conjunction in Sagittarius, conjunct my ASC And NN Moon in Aquarius quinkunx Saturn And the tightest midpoint in my chart is Moon square Mercury/Pluto I can be obsessing about thoughts or ideas.

Aries and Sagittarius. This drives me NUTS with some Aries Sun men (I have it with my ex, but my friend also has it with her Aries husband of 20+ years....they have a Sun/Moon conjunction so she full-on understands Aries energy, but), because it's SO HYPOCRITICAL.My ex is all like "you're being too sensitive"---but then he and his near-water-void are soooooo oversensitive emotionally, he's like a fragile little flower that way, but he just doesn't know it. He has zero emotional flexibility, dynamism or wiggle-room, and when something emotionally doesn't go his way, he turns into this still, fiery stew. He's actually very moody, but (unlike me, and unlike our Leo Moon-Mars child), he's completely not self-aware about it---our daughter isn't even three yet and she's already very self-aware about being cranky. The tiniest perceived slight is like a mortal wound to him. My friend's husband is an Aries/Aquarius mix--he's not moody himself, but he just has NO patience with emotions. In my experience, Capricorns can be very patient with other's emotionality---but maybe I experience it that way because I cap rising and a Cancer stellium, so these people respect the ways I express my emotional oversensitivity?

Not this Aries. I've been told that I'm too sensitive. I can be insensitive, too, but we all can be. *edit IP: Logged |

I do agree with Aquarius (as a Uranian), however.. I also believe that Aquarius' "great lesson" in this incarnation is to do away with their ego (Leo-Aquarius axis) and to focus more on the collective needs of the other. I'd like to believe that insensitivity and self righteousness are low-Aqua traits. The older I get, and the more I open myself up to my insignificance in the universe, the more I move away from the haughtiness of youth. Gemini can be pretty darn insensitive in my experience. I have a Gemini Moon good friend who, as a point of pride, thinks being offended by un-PC things is a character flaw in others. I love her but I cannot *stand* this school of thought in our culture.

@Teasel, I've only noticed it with Aries men, not the women. And the ones I've seen it with had almost no water! IP: Logged |

Sign influence: - Aries - Gemini - Virgo - Sagittarius - Aquarius - CapricornPlanet influence: - Mercury - Mars - Saturn - Uranus Call me a bigot but I think all the non-water elements more or less have a hard time understanding sensitivity and respecting emotions. Personally I think Aquarius, Aries and Sagittarius take the cake when it comes to blatant refusal to be considerate of feelings so to them many may appear "too sensitive". IP: Logged |

Sensitive to insults? Well, nobody likes insults. But people who I consider to be 'too sensitive' basically take reality as if it were a personal insult. And that's annoying.. Like, you can't be real with them, or they're offended. Granted, there are nicer ways of saying things than to be absolutely blunt, but it doesn't get through to their heads that way! Lol Sag Sun / Mercury, Aries Moon *For example, my friend is obsessed with this guy who shows zero interest in her. It's all she talks about. She's mostly water. Every time we have a conversation, it's about this guy and the reasons he might not be responding in the way she wants. I try to be sensitive, tiptoeing around the conversations because I know she's vulnerable, and nudging her in the direction of getting the **** over the guy because he sucks. It doesn't work, for a month. Finally, one day, I say jokingly, '___ can go suck a d***.' Five minutes later, she brings up what I said and is all, "I know you didn't mean it like that, I know you didn't mean to be offensive, I know you meant well..." That is too sensitive. I can't be myself around someone like that. IP: Logged |

I'd go so far as to say all the fixed signs (though Scorpio is better at understanding them than the others) + Aries and Libra.Capricorns, ime, don't really judge people for their sensitivities but they get uncomfortable when they're expressed which is different. IP: Logged |

Bah, I have cap, aries n sag placements. Push my buttons on purpose and I'll most likely return the favor. I especially love the "It's just a joke" or "I can say what I want" - Yeah, ye can, and I can exercise my right to response freely. Sorry I'm ranting lol this just reminds me of last week incident with some random guy wanting to "offer" a free roof inspection. From what I've seen, a lot of people, are sensitive about something. I'm the same. Sometimes I think people are too sensitive, but their values might be different and they walk different roads. So usually I just shrug. Unless it's affecting me personally in a negative way, or it's affecting works...etc.. About people expressing emotions... I respect and empathize - oh yes I see nooks and crannies in the hearts and "feel" the waves of emotions. Hah but still I really don't like being bombarded with it, and my patience/understanding has limits. At worst, I'll go full on dismissal, like "I'm not dealing with this". IP: Logged |

Speaking only of offline relationships...if I didn't believe in astrology (and should I ever stop believing) then that would be me. I even eased up a bit on my cousin because of his Pisces moon and 8H Cancer Mars, not only because of those placements, but also because I know he wouldn't let me know I'd hurt him even if I did. I didn't pull punches with an Aries deluxe (who also had a Sag stellium), nor did she with me (and for the most part it was like a game to us, and even when it was hostile we both shrugged it off pretty fast), but I was more careful with our mutual BFF Aquarius with heavy Pisces influences (and now she's my BFF, not hers). I now sometimes exchange dialog with a boy that makes others cringe (what I say to him and what he says to me, though he does know the limits, and it's for playful teasing, not genuine hostility), but I'm not like that with with his mother (Scorpio Venus, Mars, Cancer Moon) or sister (Cancer sun and other placements) as neither can take it...and I make it clear that he's not to talk to them that way either no matter how funny it seems to tweak them, even though he can say those things to me. To me, astrology is an explanation that makes sense so that I make allowances for it. If I were to stop believing in it then I'd be different, and I'd be inclined to think people were too sensitive because of their upbringing & conditioning who needed to work out their issues as I did in a PTSD group (among other things). As it is, I believe in astrology (though there is an experiment I've been meaning to try that might change my mind), and as long as I do I will be grateful for my Sag moon and try to cut others some slack.

Will be back. An over-sensitive person usually has a particularly challenged Moon I think... hard Moon Neptune aspects will do it... can be a beautiful sensitivity of course.

People are sensitive about things that are important to them. Most people tend to judge peoples'sensitivities we dont share. I call it intolerance and we are all to be blamed for it one way or another.for instance, I dont like people smoking near me and i very sensitive about people disrespect toward my right to clean air. My brother thinks I am too "sensitive". but he gets annoyed when a restaurant does not let him enter when he comes 30 minutes before the restaurant close. he thinks it is because they do not like him... I think he is too sensitive toward rejection... sometimes though it is just alertness. I remember I was having "paranoid" thoughts toward my work high management and one of my colleagues told me I was too sensitive toward their actions. time prove, I was right and they wanted to get rid of me in revenge for some confrontations I had with an upper management person.I was not being paranoid, I was reading the signs she could not read.. so I am not sure it is about people being sensitive, but about what type of sensitivities...

I think everybody is sensitive when you hit a personal belief or people are down right rude. I think most people just don't think before they speak. Some people want people to be sensitive to them but can't be sensitive to others.... For me, I have no idea why I'm sensitive to some things and laugh at other things people say to me. I just know I am very sensitive and I have to know you love me to let anyone close to me. I do find that it does not matter what is going on on the outside, you have to correct the inside. It's all perception and life experience, once you learn that life becomes more pleaseing and easier. This is also easier said than done, I struggle with it because I'm quick tempered and very sensitive to criticism. IP: Logged |
