none I agree.
this is only what a professional medical practitioner should diagnose. Not us.
edit also people might take it seriously and it's damaging.
Mutable signs like Gemini can make someone chamaleonic but the actual disorder (DID)..
I found this during a quick search:
"Dissociative states occur when a person is under great stress from external influences, other people's cruelty or deeply felt previous internal conflicts with a disturbing immediate situation. The moon (emotion) in Pisces (sensitivity) on the Dragon's Tail (karma) is a major contribution to the dilemma. This affliction brings dissociation with others, especially to the family. The upbringing is usually very dramatic and the subject learns early in childhood to cope with traumatic sexual or emotional abuse. If the Dragon's Tail (negative) affects the 4th house (home/family) in the sign of Scorpio (sex) or if there is any hard aspects to the Moon (home) and Pluto (death) drama will occur. Often they are forced to learn to disconnect from their feelings to avoid emotional or physical pain. By adulthood, their emotions are locked behind protective walls and can be accessed as needed. A strong Pluto (power) aspect to Mercury (the mind), and the Moon (emotions) gives the subject a powerful will to dissociate himself from whatever is going on around him so that emotional or physical pain can be avoided. The strength of Pluto, aspects to Mercury and the Moon give this person a form of subconscious (protection) self-hypnotic trance. In extreme cases, therefore, these individuals do experience periods of "missing time", confusion and disorientation."
Sort of fits me. Trauma during my childhood, very detached from family. Was told dissociation but I was never diagnosed with DID so my case wasn't really severe. No alters, my level of awareness is too high for that. And the last therapist I went to directed me towards shamanism after taking notice of the controlled nature of my trance states and "shapeshifting" behaviour. I found that it was indeed the most optimal choice for my overall health. Moon, ruler of my 4th, conjuncts the South Node (also called the Dragon's Tail) in Virgo, opposites Mars in Pisces, square Retro Mercury and Retro Venus in Gemini. Everything within 1º degree. Chiron in Gemini 29º also conjunct Cancer Sun 0º in 3rd. My Pluto isn't really strong by aspect but is placed in the 7th.
