Actually, I don't know what my ascendant is, which was why I was trying to work out my planet's positions backwards based on the way they are purported to work within each sphere of life.

I focused in on Saturn because I felt as if its effect on my life has been the most obvious, as I am awkward and self-restricting (especially with self-expression, and how I've looked at relationships). However, I also feel as if I need to hold myself back in as many situations as necessary to feel safe or competent.
For instance, my usual instinct is to act as if I don't know anything about a subject if I only know a bit about it because I don't want to be caught out at the end of whatever knowledge I do have.

Well, one thing about me is that I am always afraid of stepping on toes, even though at the exact same time I feel irritated about not being able to 'be myself', whatever that means.

I apologize a lot, even though I've been told a number of times that I do it too much! I used to be more mindful about apologizing too much, but I kind of fell into it again.

I am also shy. It's usually my instinct to shy away from strangers, even when I find myself looking them in the eye so as to smile at them when walking past. The funny thing is, I seem to be able to turn on friendliness after a while, even when I still feel really awkward and shy on the inside.

When it comes to figuring out the answers to things, I want so much to get the answer right away that I tend to charge after what sounds reasonable... And it's a real burn out of energy if I turn out to be wrong.

Umm, I don't actually have that many great pictures of myself (especially when I'm smiling, which is a bit different from the ones I have posted thus far). Btw, please don't quote this!

OK--first things first. Do you have any ASC's which you have to choose from.IOW, were you born in the morning but you don't know what time? I have not read everything, so don't know if you said this. Do you understand my question. Is it a choice between Cancer, Leo and Virgo, for example?

I would take out the Fire ASCs--Aries, leo and Sag
I would take out Scorpio, as you are not suspicious enough lol

I would leave in the others, for now, but you see how this is do-able imho

This is just my opinion, as is everything I do.

Um, if you were to meet me at a party, especially if I wasn't there with any family I would likely be in a corner, trying to find somewhere to sit and be comfortable until I felt like getting up for some food or a really fun song. When I think about the last party I went to without family, I was pretty much ready to go immediately since it was a college party and it was crowded and loud and gross. In cases like those, I'll tell my friends that I'm leaving then go.
But, in a setting with actual chairs and food and stuff, I'll stick around but be pretty shy, which causes me to want to mentally curl into myself until something or someone interesting comes along. If someone says hi, I'll be really awkward at first, but if I can think about something to talk with them about, I can become friendly and comfortable fairly quickly. I like to just vibe with people, and I have to remind myself that they might not bond so quickly, as friendly as they may be. It's kind of funny, since I prefer to hold back a lot, but at the same time I want to be friendly with everyone (unless I have a reason not to be).

Are you super anal about things? Are you anal about details? Are you kind of lazy? Do you really like creature comforts?

Do you have a good artistic kind of sense?

Answer these and we will go from here. i can't tell which from your picture. It could be either--picture wise

On the other side, I am pretty lazy. I will get around to things eventually, but I don't like having to do things right away unless it's interesting. I am not sure what 'creature comforts' means- does it refer to foods I like and comfortable spaces or just one of those? I have foods that make me feel good when I eat them, but they aren't always sweets. I also like to kick back in a chair or something like that, though. So I guess it's a yes either way!

It's good to know that the stereotype of the hairsplitter is just that, and not necessarily something that defines Virgo. However, Virgo suns have a very good eye for details and are good at creating order. This is probably an earth sign thing, as Virgo is mutable earth, but Virgo sun makes for a hard worker and a person who likes to keep busy with some sort of work.
*I am not completely oblivious to disorder, but I don't really care about it unless things get in my way or someone specifically wants me to keep order. Otherwise, I am not an orderly or organized person by nature. (I was an orderly student as a kid, though.) I will do my best when I am already in a project, but I certainly don't go around looking for work to fill my time! *

Virgo prefers to keep to the background, and can initially be shy, but when in a comfortable space, Virgos will open up and show how knowledgeable about things they are. Virgo's like to stay on top of things intellectually and, combined with their conscientiousness and tendency toward doing their best, make for good students. However, their curiosity and scholarly diligence doesn't automatically mean that they also need to try out the things they learn in action.
*I definitely prefer the background, and more often than not, when I do open up to people, it's about something intellectual. I used to have a lot of intellectual curiosity, but I don't really have that as much these days. I wouldn't call myself a good student in the sense I described for Virgo, since I can't be bothered with being super dedicated to note taking and research (even though, at the very beginning of a new interest, I will look up as much as I can!). I do agree with not needing to try things out in the field though, for the most part. I have a problem with taking things in fast and forgetting them just as fast.*

Virgo seems to be a sign that makes one care very much about their ability to do things well. Even when they accept less their best, it doesn't feel good to them to do it. There also seems to be a tendency to worry about everything, particularly ones health. They prefer to keep their work private, disinclined to share the processes thereof.
*I care about being good at stuff, and I don't try very much... I am not a perfectionist, but on some level I feel like I should be to prove myself. I don't worry about my health too much, as long as I am able to move around and do what I want to do, I kind of let things be as they are.*

Virgos may not be the best at accepting compliments, but they do need to feel appreciated. *This part is pretty spot on. I want to accept compliments, but I tend to downplay them. It sort of leads to a cycle of my needing validation but not feeling like I can accept it.*

Librans might want peace to such an extent that they try to "be everything to everyone", which can cause issues of duplicity. Even as the Libran goal is peace, at times the way to maintain balance in a situation is in fact to disagree with those who would prefer they have a definite opinion or stance on something. *This is not like me. As long as I am not on the spot, I am not going to step in just to create harmony. If I am involved, I prefer to make my point in as harmless terms as I can because I don't mean to start trouble.*

Preferring to avoid absolutes and thinking in relative terms can backfire on the Libran sun in that they are often comparing their situation to something else- often an ideal- and failing to live in the moment. *This isn't me, though I think it's reasonable to try to keep things in relative terms.*

Libra tends to come across as refined and civilized on an individual level. *I wanted to put this in because it seemed important. It doesn't describe me at all, though.*
--

AlwaysAstrology has a different look at Libra:
A Libra sun might make one want so much to keep harmony in their surroundings that they might lose their personality in it. More than that, when they are sad or angry, Librans might repress these feelings rather than express them, which makes for a meltdown later on. *I don't consider it my business to monitor the emotional atmosphere in a place. I do put a lid on my negative emotions, though, preferring to express them in privacy.*

Peace loving Libra is drawn to relationships, and wishes to see the best in their family, friends, and loves. However, a tendency toward idealism might cause a Libra to have standards too high to be realistic. *I don't think I'm that idealistic, actually. I definitely hope for the best for the people I care about.*

Friendly and highly social Libran suns love to be surrounded by nice things and are loyal to their close ones. *I am friendly, but not highly social. I don't really make that big a deal about luxuries, either. If I have the option, then I would choose things I like, but otherwise I'll just keep on moving.*

Less sparkling aspects of the Libran sun can be superficiality and unreliability due to indecisiveness. To people who are more inclined to express their strong feelings, Librans may be frustrating to deal with. However, Librans just prefer to think things over until they're satisfied. *I am kind of superficial, I admit, but I don't think it's a very obvious trait of mine. I am very indecisive, though, and it even frustrates me. I do prefer to think things over, I just wish I could be satisfied with stuff faster, but at the same time, I can be wrong and I have to know if I am. It's usually why I want to ask for help.*

On a career scale, Librans may more enjoy artistic vocations, but are also likely to be fulfilled in careers making use of their social natures and their reasoning skills. *I don't know what kind of careers would appeal to me, but the Libran ones didn't really send me.*

What planets do you have in Libra. I am feeling you have something conjunct your ASC--perhaps Saturn or Chiron

I am definitely not that outwardly Martian....

May I ask if you could help me also prove or disprove Cancer rising? I am afraid to have Venus or Mars in 12th, and I don't know if either would be in 1st.

How would I know if I have any 12th house planets when I don't know what my rising is for sure?

When I think about having Libra rising, that means that I should have Mars in tenth and Venus in ninth, possibly conjunct Midheaven. However, I not even sure enough of my Martian and Venusian energy to think that they have a place so close to the angle that shows my public persona.

posted June 11, 2012 06:11 PM            

For me, I have to start with the ASC and go from there. I can't look to the 12th house BEFORE we have the ASC. If you want to try to figure out your ASC with me, we have to eliminate ASCs. So, now we have eliminated Virgo and have to go on.

What do we have left?
