Would calling myself a Scorpio make me a poser

I’ve always felt unrelated to my sun moon and rising. I’ve found I have a hades moon and a moon in the eight house. I also have a Scorpio stellium. Scorpio is my dom sign at 21% and Pluto is my dom planet at 10.5%. My dom modality is fixed, and my dom element is water. However would saying I am a Scorpio make me a fraud?
Chart:
Sag sun 10
Sag rising 7
Sag Juno 11
Cap Neptune 8
Cap south node 9
Cap Uranus 19
Cap mars 29
Aries Jupiter 0
Aries PoF 2

Scorp vesta 6
Scorp Chiron 16
Scorp Pluto 16
Scorp Black moon 19
Scorp Lilith ast. 28

This is my sidereal chart. I use placidus house system. Looking for any feed back postive or negitive.

If by "Scorpio" you mean "sun in Scorpio," then yes, it would be. But why use a sidereal chart unless you're doing Vedic astrology? In the conventional western tropical zodiac, your planets would all move back something like 24 or 27 degrees, depending upon which sidereal zodiac you used. A sidereal sun at 10 Sagittarius would become a tropical sun at about 16 degrees Scorpio.

It would be helpful if you posted your chart, as it is hard to visualize aspects and chart patterns through a long column of planetary placements. Think about using the tropical zodiac for this.

Culture theft much? You're actually Plutonian, not really Scorpio. It may be a trend to identify as Scorpio in the Aquarian age, but you're still a Sag sun (and ASC). The only signs not in your chart are Aquarius (I'm one-going by tropical), Pisces (friends to Aquarians) and Taurus (not really bad, but are pushy, stubborn or arrogant). My natal chart finds my Moon (also Aquarius), Uranus (sign ruler, in Scorpio) and Saturn (triple conjunction with Mars and Jupiter in Virgo) influences me the most. Also Mercury in Pisces-9th indicate mental disability (I have mild autism) and Venus in Aries midheaven indicates gender fluidity (for a biologically male). and Lunarian by nature - my ascendant is Cancer, the sign ruler of the Moon next to my Sun.

Thanks for your your feed back. I'll tell people I'm a dominate Scorpio and a Plutonian from here forward (as I have been). And actually my stellium in Scorpio pull my Asc into more Scorpioic traits. People automatically assume I'm a Scorpio by my appearance.Actually my tropical would be 16 in Capricorn, you shifted the wrong way.

And sorry to do this. I don't frimly believe in sun sign or ascendent signs. I think these are rather shallow celestial bodies. The sun covers the ego, the rising covers the apperance. The moon is what these to hide and protect. Also I believe more firmly in a dominant sign, this is the sign that has the highest percentage in your chart. It covers you in general not just your ego. And the connections at the end that I have listed Pluto square moon and moon in the eight house, will give me emotional traits similar and often more intense that a Scorpio moon. By these standards in the chart I choose to use, I am a Scorpio dominant with a (double) hades moon.

Problems lie in both systems just as in every sector in life, Ive learned to thrive in these dark places . And yes let me be a boring down to earth traditionalist that is capricorn, oh wait I shook the tree that's not very Capricorn of me... Let my Virgo moon make me really insecure and critiquing. *Cry* *Sob* *Cry* *Sob*, you hurt my feelings. Nope wait you didn't *next person* (this time use more facts instead of opinions). And your rising sign enters the moment you enter the earth this would be more accurate in you conception not in your physical emerging from your mother. Food for thought and thanks for the feed back.

Did I? Precession of the equinoxes goes backwards, not forward. All of my tropical Aquarian planets slip back into sidereal Capricorn. Tropical planetary placements will be earlier, not later, than sidereal placements. Try doing your chart on the Astrodienst free chart pages at www.astro.com. The western tropical zodiac is their default position, although you can also specify severeal sidereal zodiacs if you wish.

You will probably learn that you're more Scorpio than you believe from a sidereal perspective.

Well, the fact is that most people use the tropical zodiac for a reason. If you're gonna be so hard on choosing the exact constellation that's rising in your birth, then use Ophiucus as your rising sign, because it's the actual constellation. The zodiac we use is there for a reason, it's based on symbolism and seasons, like most of the techniques used in astrology. There's really no point in trying to be more exact or real in using the actual position of the constellations when pretty much all of astrology is based upon the symbolism and symmetry of things. I don't know if you did know this, but the aspects, rulerships, triplicities, symbols for the planets, order, elements, etc. are all based on symbolical meaning, not exact facts. For example, trines are said to be harmonious because they represent the triangle, a figure that's regarded as spiritual and harmonious. And, going even beyond the basic structure of astrology, there's a lot of empirical research being done on astrology and most of it is done using the tropical zodiac. In personal experience I've seen vedic to fail a lot more times than tropical. I've asked many people about their charts in vedic and they just don't see it. If you use vedic as a result of opinion then you're free to do it, but it's a couple of testimonies against the much more vast and common use of the tropical zodiac.


There are also people who like to use the argument of "Vedic and Tropical are both correct because astrology is so mysterious and magical that in both systems, natal charts describe the same person" - Yeah, that's probably the weakest argument you can come up with. If you firmly believe this is the case then you firmly believe astrology is false. If things do "match up" even after changing the signs it's because your mind is telling you so, trying to find connections and patterns, a job at which our minds are really good at. It's like denying confirmation bias. Astrology is meant to be objective, yet it fails to have even a single zodiac system. Changing signs means changing the dignity and debility of the planets, therefore objectively changing the outcomes of a planet. So yeah, there's a flaw in trying to start from the premise that two zodiac systems are viable.


So, if we were to use logic we'd say that if astrology works, then there can only be one zodiac system and house system.

Viable point I do agree however I have researched both sidereal and tropical zodiac along with many house systems. I don't believe myself to be a Capricorn this is objective I don't act like one don't look like one. However I'm not here to argue so I'll let it be. Also note that the heard runs in fear and dies many of ways many of times, most people as a collective whole mean nothing to me. As societies have a history of being wrong. I'd rather use a faulty system and accept the faults than pretend things are ok.

Well, the fact is
that most people
use the tropical zodiac
for a reason.

One wonders why :smile:

Ptolemy and Ancient Astronomy


Melvyn Bragg and his guests discuss
the ancient Greek astronomer and mathematician Ptolemy

and consider how and why
his geocentric theory of the universe held sway for so many centuries.

In his seminal astronomical work, the Almagest
written in the 2nd century AD, Ptolemy proposed
that the Earth was at the centre of the universe

Ptolemy's model of the universe remained dominant for over a thousand years.
It was not until 1543, and Copernicus's heliocentric theory of the world
that the Ptolemaic model was finally challenged
and not until 1609 that Johannes Kepler's New Astronomy
put an end to his ideas for good.
But how and why did Ptolemy's system survive for so long? :smile:

I've researched both tropic and sidereal heliocentric versions of my chart. My sidereal heliocentric is Scorpio dominant as it has the most number of planets giving it more aspects with Scorpio because of the three bodies that are there. In my tropical heliocentric chart cancer has three bodies while Scorpio only has two, however this chart has fixed modality as its dominant modality and water as its dominant element, meaning fixed water rules the chart just as fixed water rules Scorpio. In all three of my tropical heliocentric, sidereal heliocentric, and sidereal geocentric charts, Scorpio is a top dog sign, if not the most top dog sign. I found this interesting how these three charts can sign a similar song, think that there is anything too this or is it just blasphemy and a coincidence.

I have a similar 8th house and Pluto emphasis but...I guess I don't really get the point of fixating on Scorpio. There are similarities between Scorpio and Plutonic or 8th factors but it doesn't make sense to highlight those over the many differences.

You are Scorpio Sun when you cast a tropical/western chart. It makes sense that you feel Scorpionic.

I think people are getting confused because of the (ETA: incorrect) sidereal use...the OP said birthdate is 12/27/1999, i.e. Capricorn Sun.

Looking for any feed back postive or negitive.
and the OP clearly invites SIDEREAL WESTERN ASTROLOGICAL comment
obviously we need a WESTERN SIDEREAL astrology board
to eliminate confusion of a WESTERN SIDEREAL astrology question
being responded to using Western Tropical astrology

Thankyou sibylline. As for the 8th house Pluto connections. May I add that I did my tropical and sidereal heliocentric charts too, my tropical heliocentric is a cancer dominant and a water dominant chart with fixed as a prominent modality, giving Scorpio power here too. Also with my sidereal heliocentric chart Pluto again is in Scorpio along with Mercury and Chiron, here it has power too. I've been fixed on astrology because of Scorpio as I didn't fit my tropical sign I searched now I'm at a crossroads where even different versions of the charts hint at Scorpio energy, and people peg me as a Scorpio no matter how hard I try to blend in (I'm good at blending btw). It's just the system that many astrologers love has no place for me.

I think you're confusing yourself and everybody else by mixing and jumping back and forth between zodiacs.

In the tropical zodiac that most use here, you're not water dominant. You're fixed and earth (grand trine in earth, in fact). Trying to piece your tropical chart together, I think you should look more into what happens when the Moon (and, by extension, its house and aspects) gain prominence.

People have pegged me as different signs over the years, but in truth most people don't know anything about astrology. The main issue with saying "Scorpio" when not is that it is inaccurate. If your Sun is not in Scorpio, it is in a different sign that does influence you, but it may not seem that way if you're going off of stereotypes. You should probably look deeper into astrology, beyond signs, and more as a whole instead of isolated pieces.
