Hi Everyone,
I'd like to question here something that I see people here and elsewhere do very often when interpreting a chart. Usually when there are more planets above the horizon in a chart, I see people saying that the native is an extroverted, and when there are more planets below the horizon in a chart, the native is introverted.
From personal experience, I can't agree with this. Can anyone tell me if this particular interpretation is an old one, or is it a recent a way of interpreting a chart?
Take my case, for example, I've got most of my planets above the horizon. Accordingly, this would make me an extroverted type, but this is not always the case. Amongst a group of people, I've always faced the problem of having my voice heard, as I'm often interupted by others, so I've learned to usually let others do the talking and just tend to sit back and listen. And then again, there are times when I have no problem in making my opinion heard (usually when I'm amongst older people). But most often, I wouldn't say I'm the extroverted type, it depends a lot on my mood. Likewise, I also have a Sagittarian friend who's got lots of planets above the horizon in his chart, but he's mostly a home type of person, not having much of a social life (which is odd for his sign), and while not necessarily shy, he just doesn't have that great of a friendship circle and interacts mostly with people through the net.
Now, I have two friends who were born during the early evening hours, and most of their planets are below the horizon. One of them is a Piscean like me and the other one is a Taurean, and both of them are extremely extroverted, usually being the center of attention and stealing everyone's gaze towards them when their in a group. They're usually very energetic and fun to be around, making everybody laugh.
It seems to me like we'd have to look at other factors in deciding when a person will show introverted and extroverted tendencies, wouldn't you guys agree?
