What points to someone who is so adaptable that they can basically date anyone, live anywhere and work with whatever, and kinda thrive?? When they stop to think about things, they realize it's not exactly 100% but HEY, what in life is?! In the same breath they also realize they don't exactly know who they are deep down..

This would describe me. I just, adapt. Or "melt" into situations and life in general. I sometimes feel that anyone and everything that exist suit me, when I feel like it. I'm not anti anything, I'm not pro anything. I'm just everything.
I don't think too much about it but I did today and I asked myself who I really am. Sometimes it's exhausting and I know some people have a hard time with me because I am so fluid. They don't trust me. And when they change, I change. I should be less of above since almost all my planets (cardinal) are in fixed houses and I also have fixed angles. Something must be twarthing it?

Adapting, absorbing and merging are Neptune themes imo, so maybe a lot of Neptune?

Perhaps especially in aspect with Moon and Mercury.

I have someone who sounds just like you.

*storytime blah blah*

Long story short, you’re not alone! Check out your chart for anything that jumps out like Neptune-Jupiter, 12th house placements, mutable signs cusping the public and social houses, Neptune’s house and sign. Also check for Neptune-Pluto aspects in case, although I agree with Kannon about Jupiter.

I'd definitely be looking for some mutability in the chart but you say you don't have any.. Then maybe look for mutability via mutable signs rulership - aspects of Jupiter (Sag), Neptune (Pisces) and Mercury (Virgo, Gemini).
yeah, post your chart for us please.

Yep. Definitely mutable energy. Sag too perhaps with other important planets in air signs me thinks

I do have Jupiter 9H aspecting all of my planets and angles except Libra Pluto 2H so I guess that answered that!?

I think Mutable related placements tbh.

Pisces rising for instance tend to adapt in a very instinctive and often "ad hoc" way.

Here the native may be the type to instinctively "look" like they belong in whatever area they live in.Or know how to act.

A friend of mine is like this.He is white. We went to a cultural festival and he was such a good sport about participating in all the activities. He didn't "look" out.

Then we later went to a more formal setting.And he was okay with that too.

I think he adapts well to anything. He is Pisces rising.

Now Pisces Sun could have a conceptual awareness on how they need to adapt. Be the type to re-evaluate life goals and where they are going. I am Neptune-Sun in Sag and I have had to do that too.

Pisces Moon may be the type to adapt as a reactionary response i.e they do it to feel more secure and comfortable in not resisting or fighting against a situation. But integrating themselves with it.

The Daily Show host Trevor Noah has Sun in Pisces and I suspect Asc in Gem.

Tran Neptune in Pisces was conj his Sun and Trans Sat in Sag was square it when he got the job to host the Daily Show in 2015.

Trans Sat/Nept was also square his North node in Gemini. Yes, the Nodal connections do count

Add to that Pluto in Cap was square his Moon. And Pluto square Moon often signify a time in life where we have to be in the seat(Moon) of power(Pluto).

He literally is in the "seat" of media power through that show.And was ultimately named the "100 most influential people in the world" in the following year 2016.

Suffice it to say, he had to adapt very quickly.And did. And I think that its his mutable Sun/North node that helped things.

I have nothing Pisces and very little Neptune in my Natal. Don't think a very loose Neptune to Mars aspect will cause this?
In progressed I have Virgo Mars, Venus, Mercury 12 with Venus sq Neptune 3H. Not sure this would account for anything either? Sidereal nothing to raise eyebrows about and Draconic nothing much.

All in all, I have nothing Pisces, little Neptune and some 12H in progressed.

Would a Moon sq Pluto be like this, in an extreme case?
I'm thinking Pluto hates restriction (and people can sometimes restrict by, as an example: expectations..) and then Moon will just change to avoid said restriction?
So, if said Moon/Pluto person is constantly being faced with (imagined? ) restrictions, change will be a constant?

I think you pegged it in your initial description of yourself when you said "fluid".

What element is the most fluid?

Water.

Isn't your Sun Sign Cancer? Cancer isn't quite as fluid as Pisces, but it's not far behind either. It's ruled by the rather ever changing, fluid, go with the flow, absorb and reflect others energies, etc, etc, Moon.

Where Pisces and Neptune are like the vast ocean as a whole, Cancer and the Moon are like the tide pools, as the water moves in and out.

This is the essence of Yin/Feminine energy--it is absorptive, fluid, receptive, go with the flow. Water is the most Yin element. (As Fire is the most Yang).

Your half of Spirit may have had a lot of female lifetimes. Once in awhile you come across a Life Reading in the Cayce reading where his guidance says something like, *The entity has ever been a woman and hence it's peculiar attunement and inability to understand the opposite sex or the opposite sex to understand the entity*.

I have another backup hypothesis about your description of self, but it is more extreme and I would prefer to not go there (as if it's wrong [and it is statistically less likely/less probable], could be hurtful in nature).

This makes sense. I don’t ever really take my Cancer placements into any type of consideration since I’m not all that “Cancer”. I guess I’m more “Moon”.

Oddly, in your case at least, I think Saturn is also connected along with the strong Water/Cancer-Moon specifically. While Saturn is not known as being particularly adaptable in a general sense, it is known as a very socially conscious.

Being very socially conscious, can lead to a person learning to wear masks in order to fit in, be accepted, etc.

For Cancer, Moon, Pisces, strong Water, etc, much of the time, much of this is unconscious, psychic oriented, and automatic. But for Saturn, it is often conscious, materially and/or egoically oriented, and deliberate. Saturn studies people and situations, and like Mercury, notices little details, inflections, etc.

I suspect you likely have a combo of both the unconscious/automatic and the conscious/deliberate.
