i feel pretty balanced!! maybe because most of my yin is in less potent places, and pisces, well pisces to me is fairly asexual (or omni-sexual really).

when i was young most people found me too yang (for a girl!). in fact TWICE i was severely disciplined in school for dealing with the school bully directly (and physically).

if i have become more passive as i got older it is more about going with the flow and being less reactive, rather than actual passivity, at least that is how i see it. i have learned to speak to people in a way that is less confrontational and to use words instead of fists to settle grievances.

it must be interesting with those 2 (most) important planets, Sun and Moon, being Yang, and the rest being Yin.

Like literally two hearts are beating within you.
In a general context you are more aggressive, independent and all these things, while if relations get deeper, closer, all your Yin-planets come up, and you are much more vulnerable than your Sun and Moon would make oterhs assume.

...i feel like you're holding a microscope up to my soul and peeking in on things that are not meant to be peeked on...

You know too much...

Oh Meta, I hope I wasn´t too intrusive for your Scorpio ASC?
I sometimes feel like even though people ask me to tell them something about their charts, they then don`t really like it. It`s like it is all fun for them and they do not really expect me to see anything personal in their charts, but sometimes it seems like I find some vulnerable spots.

Anyway, in this case, I drew some parallels to my chart.
As you know I have very strong Sag and Aqua - dominance, and then there is this Venus in Cappy squaring Pluto. A clear misfit. A dissonant note in my personality.

I have interpreted it for myself, that in general context I am indeed quite idealistic, openminded, tolerant, interested in philosophy and knowledge (and probably more than a tad arrogant. lol).

But once my Venus is triggered, once I fall in love, there is not much left of my openmindedness and confidence. All insecurities come up all at once, and even though generally I like the idea of freedom and independence, I can be terribly insecure and jealous. Well, jealousy for me rather leads into sadness and loneliness and bashing myself, then really triggering a thirst for revenge or fits of anger.

It`s like I become a different person, much more withdrawn, careful, yet with deep passions boiling underneath.

And my other planets, especially my lofty Aqua Moon, is observing this suspiciously and relaly wonders what is going on there witht ath strange Venus.

It might also signify the difficulties I have with the feminine archetype or role.

If someone tells me they like me, I can believe that. I defintely can believe that people like me for my intelligence, fantasy, tolerance or basicaly for what I am thinking and so on.

But I would never believe someone if they told me I was beautiful or that I am indeed loveable or desireable.

This gives an interesting, yet difficult conflict for me.

I think both explanations are right.

Another thing that might figure in is that I was always being praised for my intelligence and kindness to a degree that it felt like it was the only thing I was consisting of; I don`t think that was intentional though.

I seriously doubt that I have the ability to dazzle anyone.

But yes, you are right, I never really showed these typical "feminine" behaviour, batting eyelashes, playing the helpless one and so on.

Instead I really rely on my intellect or wit or communicative skills, just basically in contact with other people, not just potential mates.

I think it comes natural for my Aqua-Moon, too.

Just recently I noticed though how easy it is to get your will asserted, if you pretend to be needing just a little bit of male assistance. LOL

the story the book revolves around is how a lady artist (age 64 at the time) decided, fairly spontaneously as it happens, to seduce the man she was interested in...another artist, 44 at the time...it goes on from there.[FYI they are still together and much in love 16 years later]

it basically affirms that in ALL of nature, including humans, the FEMALE decides who her mate will be. that the patriarchal set up has come to pass as a result of men trying to conquer that paradigm and keep women in a "lesser" position, to the point we have forgotten our nature.

her mantra was "he is more afraid of me than i am of him" whenever her nerve got the better of her...
