Which rising sign would cause a person with many fire/air planets to be introverted?

Thanks I figured saturn was involved in this. Yes any major aspects especially in a tight orb would play a factor but not nearly as much as the stress (power) aspects of the conjuntion, square, and oppostion.

I have Leo rising,and Sun cnj the AC in the 1st house. So always when I go somewhere it is impossible to not get noticed. Whether I act unconsiously so that I would get attention or I don`t know. Sometimes it bother me, but sometimes I just don`t care what others think, the way i dress or the way i act.

My Moon is in Gemini, in the 11th house. This should mean that i need to be with friends and in the social environment.But I don`t think so. I am very social if I want, but I just don`t like it!!

My Venus, Mercury and Mars are in Virgo, also the ruler of my 11th is Virgo. I really prefere to spent time alone. Actually most of the time I am trying to avoid other people. I hate small talk and talking with people, who doesn`t have deep interests into something.

Both my luminaries have aspects with Pluto, where I think this introversion comes from. The Moon-Pluto contact is one of the strongest aspects in my chart - which makes me more Scorpion, intensive and in depth going, than usual Gemini Moon person would be. Perhaps from there also need for privacy. Also the only Saturn aspect that I have in my chart is with my Moon. So some kind of inhibition also from there, not to be so talk-active then I should be. But if the theme is in depth or the people around me seem respected and deep then I can become very talk-active. So I would sum up with that although everything in my chart seems to be outgoing with double Leo and Gemini, then strong aspects can make the influence much more hidden and secretive.

Being introverted is not the same as being shy. If you're introverted you typically prefer solitary activities over group activities. If you're shy there's a 'fear' factor involved.

Bravo, Bittermoon! This is a big pet peeve of mine. I believe introversion to be defined as "not needing to be social," it's a motive. It's there or it's not. That strong need to be connecting with others or just preferring the pleasure of your own company and being content with less social interaction. Shyness is the behavior and feeling uncomfortable with others or feeling tension from being with others. Big difference.

I've always had this issue of being both, but less shy. I have acted, hosted shows, been onstage and on camera. I think there's malleability to this. Being mostly introverted, I love time alone and I get emotionally drained after spending a lot of time with others. I have 7th h Cancer and I can feel people literally suck the life out of me with their needs. I have an intercepted Leo in the 7th too! And a Sag Sun. I'm not technically shy. Perhaps a shy person doesn't necessarily want to be alone, but is afraid to interact with others.

Wow....this totally fascinates me!
"Im very introverted... I love my solitude. I prefer to be home alone..

I spent most of my childhood in my room alone..

But Im not Shy, I just prefer to be alone.. If I cant get time to myself, I literally go nuts. I cant take it....

At parties I usually spend time in the corner, watching.. Im not comfortable unless I am around people I know, or very small groups..."

This is me, to the T. I am scorpio rising, capricorn moon and sun in cancer.

I struggle with my solitary tendancies every day.

I dont understand astrology anymore....Because my latest ex and the other guy Im into now are born the exact same dates and year, and I didnt know the other ones birthday before I started "liking" him. The reason I started liking the other one was that he is TOTALLY the opposite of my ex. But how is it possible to be opposites when you are born the same day with almost all the planets in same signs and aspects. I dont know the last ones birthtime, so I guess the angles have something to say, but still! The ex was SUPER extroverted and the other is both introverted and shy. The ex told me about all his feelings, a little too much. The other tells nothing and is secretive about it.... The ex loved to talk on the phone, internet and so on, the other one hates it. The ex needed to be active and do stuff all the time, the other likes to do nearly nothing and not as social, never goes to social events. One feels unstable while the other is like a rock that doesnt move. Like 2 extremes in the opposite directions.

I have Libra rising but I've never been outgoing in my entire life. My 12th house Pluto (within 5 degrees of the Asc) makes me solitary. I am not comfortable in large groups or with loud people. There was a time when I tried to blend in ... but with my P. Asc in Scorpio ... I couldn't care less what others may think of me enjoying my own company ! :smile: It has definitely made me 'feel' stronger. Btw I have a 12th house Sun too.

My Moon is in Leo (11th house) ... I have quite a large group of friends, I enjoy social networking, but I need a lot of me-time.

Vagabondgirl, houses/angles make a difference. Also, it's just an example of how an upbringing and social conditioning have an effect on a person.

My own chart is pretty balanced as far as above/below horizon and yin/yang energy is concerned but I am triple water. I am mostly an introvert but spending too much time in solitude does make my Venus in Gemini antsy. The last few days I haven't really talked to anybody (other than the cashier at the grocery store) and I just loved doing my own thing but another day like this and I'll definitely need to go out and have a coffee with someone (and after an hour I'll go home and continue doing my own thing). I basically like to have the option to socialise but that doesn't mean I'll actually do it.

I also have a pretty large group of friends. Most of them are scattered around the globe and I think there's a reason for that. I'd go absolutely crazy if we all lived in the same city!

I have all the planets except Moon below the horizon. So this can be reason for introversion. I am extroverted person, but I live in solitude.
