Hi heretolearn. Welcome to the forum. I haven't looked at your chart...
Anyway, hope that make's sense. If this thread evolves into a discussion of your chart including input from yourself, I'd be interested to look at your chart and join in.
Given the more or less bowl shape of my chart, I suppose it makes it a bit more likely for sun, moon, and ascendant to cover consecutive signs than, say, a splash; I’m not sure if there is inherent significance in this detail. Libra through Aries are respectively represented by one or more planets in my natal.
As it all relates to my chart, I have Mercury in Capricorn so there can be a rather systematic approach to things and a desire for practicality. And the occasional wearing of crankypants. Both Sun and Venus are in Aqua for me, which no doubt lends to some detachment/aloofness/intellectualizing, rather than the feelings that Pisces wants me to have (which naturally I don’t at all understand
), and finally Aries, who says to get to the point already, and that this post is entirely too long.
Now the TL;DR section:
Re: your comments on Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, and Aries. Let me know if you think I’ve made any sense of your post, or if my digestion has only caused indigestion.
Back when I had just barely more than a passing interest in astrology, it was rather frustrating to read the descriptions of Aquarians that essentially amounted to “alien on earth- we’ve got a strange one here.” That sort of description does little to really delve into the depths of any sign, but does, I suppose, pay some service to capturing the potential
quirkiness of Aqua. In going back to your post, I would agree that Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces embody different aspects of Individuality. While perhaps all three might be labeled as potentially eccentric, I would peg the Cappy energy as the “eccentric” whose nonconformity would more likely be a crankier, more hermit-like version that might, for instance, eschew technology and maintain practices more formal/dated/defunct as a means of asserting said individuality. Think “everyone’s got a smart phone these days, but I’m doing just fine with my landline,” or the rear face of Janus. Aquarius, on the other hand, I see as breaking away from the norm by growing out of the traditions of the past, in favor of smartphones in every shape and color that can be customized to reflect one’s own brand of individuality. That is Aquarian individuality that I associate with the forward face of Janus, seeking a shiny new future where everyone can be “him/herself.” Pisces, as I see it, is something different from the other two as I feel it embodies a more ethereal, less corporeal grasp on individuality. “You don’t need landlines or smartphones. When you transcend your physical encumbrances, you will gain your pure self, at its most individual. Then we can all live harmoniously in one world in our most authentic forms.”
Aries, I think, is altogether different. Certainly the self is the focus here, but more in the context as appears in the word “selflish” though I don’t mean to characterize the sign as such. Rather, things are more direct and straightforward here.
Should I get the antacid out?
