Help Me Understand Myself Plzzzz :-)

This topic was created in the Capricorn forum by Curiouscapri on Wednesday, June 22, 2011 and has 16 replies.
Things are not going well for me for last few years, so I've been looking into Astrology hoping to find some kind of answer but no luck. Still I don't know much about how astrology works but I read a lot of folks saying you can't just look at your main sign but you have take into consideration things like sun, moon etc. I finally got it but I have no clue what to make of it. I see 4 Sagittarius, 3 Capricorn, 2 Scorpio and 1 Libra. Does that mean I am overall Sagittarius? Do you see anything interesting? Any suggestions?

THANKS :-)

I was born the same year as you, we're part of a generation of spiritual wanderers. (Hence all that Saggittarius in generational planets) it seems we cant get much satisfaction out of life if we arent on a constant search of a higher meaning.

Freaky how you were able to figure out the year. Thanks for the input though.

no you're definitely a cap. some say that your moon and sun signs are most important and they are both in cap as well as your mercury. it sounds like you're young so i would say..remember to stop and smell the roses as young caps can take an overly pessimistic view of things...and be patient..things only get better for a cap as Saturn (our ruling planet)eases its restrictions with time...good luck smile


I've been waiting and hoping for a long long time but I am staying positive. No clue when things will change and I thought maybe Astrology can answer that. Maybe something in my chart messing things up left and right for me. haha By looking at other threads, it seems Astrology is mainly for compatibility/personality.
Thanks for the reply. :-)
I have the same cap placements as you. It's been really hard since the big life "changes" that happened to me. Still trying to get back on solid ground, nothing but struggle.

This is interesting. I wonder if everyone else with same placements is facing struggle...
I have no clue when things will get better. So i am just working out like a mad monkey daily, focused on my business and just trying to enjoy what I have right now.
Well Mars in libra has a hard time deciding things because they want to explore all option before taking the appropriate action. They tend to procrastinate. They don't like confrontations, so they are passive aggressive, but with capricorn moon, sun and mercury, this passive-aggressive doesn't apply much.
I know someone with Saturn and pluto in scorpio and they are very secretive especially if they don't trust someone. Some of the stuff that she doesn't want everyone to know doesn't even seem like a big deal to me, but to her it is like a big deal. With saturn in scorpio, I think the work ethics is really good, hard worker. This makes for an emotional person as well and the emotions are intense. My advice for the intensity of feelings and the down time that caps go through is to think of it as a re-affirmaton of life and logic. When you feel strongly, think how alive you are (feeling such as passion, anger, even fear); With down emotions, think of it logically as a symptom of something that need fixing. Ask yourself What situation is bringing you down and don't avoid looking at the situation and remind yourself of having option even if the option don't seem that much. Because for me personally When I used to be down, I failed to see the options. Things seemed like there was no real way out. But now I say why can't I make things simple and easy for once at least this time or in this area; I don't have to work so damn hard on everything. Working hard 70% of the time is good enough sometimes.

Wow thanks. Yeah I do take my time when deciding. I guess I need to work on it and not procrastinate.
Yes, I am secretive. lol. Like you said trust is a big issue.

capricorn can be heavy, negative, push themselves too hard..be too hard on themselves, take it all too seriously and be isolated because noone wants to be around someone who is all work and no play. Then unliked they develop self esteem issues. This is capricorn that goes badly.
But a developed capricorn can overcome these traits transforming them into other things You can be heavy and intense about not taking life to seriously, work hard and push yourself to be relaxed and charismatic. Be hard on yourself when you are not being postive and nice to yourself. You can take seriously having a hell of a good time and lots of fun. You can draw friends with a dry sense of humour and dramatic down to earth comedy that cuts through all the bull and teases those who are hypocrites in such a way that they can laugh at themselves rather than take offence. You can become ambitious in developing your social life and not your work life. You can competitively strive to be free from competitive urges and the rat race.

How does one develop into this cool/balanced Capricorn? I am nowhere near this developed Capricorn you mention in your reply. I am too hard on myself and feel useless. I do try to balance things out but life is just pure crap sometimes. One step forward and ten steps back. Still I try to think positive and keep pushing forward.
I was missing few things, so here is the rest of the stuff I discovered about myself -
Ascendant Scorpio
MidHeaven Leo
North Node Gemini
Chiron Taurus

haha I have no clue what to make of this.
I think part of it is that darn Libra Mars. Thats one heck of a placement.. Can cause a lot of indecisiveness and procrastination. I want things, but nothing bad enough to actually put in a ton of work for it.

I hope you dont have a pisces lilith. I think that can cause severe escapism if not careful. I also have taurus chiron and gemini north node, whatever that all means. In a nutshell, I feel your pain.

Whoa. Yup tons of indecisiveness and procrastination. I always catch myself doing it but find it hard to stop. I usually work well when there is due date or deadline. If I care about something, I will stay focused on it and finish it. Give me a task I don't care about, I will try to avoid it as long as I can.
