Yes, that is my belief. I say it with conviction. The main point of what I was talking about are generalizations referring to astrology signs. Just like I know where the line is between my beliefs and facts are, I'm fine if people make generalizations and know that they are in fact not true. But, when people post and seemingly take this kind of shit for fact, I just have to wonder what is happening with the world.
That's what I meant by my post. I won't get into a debate about manipulation because that was not my intention.

I prefer to be thought of as a person above a pisces. I act like a pisces in a lot of ways, but in others, I am not like a pisces at all. Some things in my chart, especially aspect descriptions, do not make any sense to me because I'm nothing like that. You think I'm like a pisces, because you know me as one. Personally, if I had to pick a sign I'm more like, it would be between an aquarius, capricorn, or virgo, by the descriptions. You see the pisces because it's in your mind that I am one. I see myself, that's why I can look beyond that. But, I don't expect you to really do that, since you don't know me. You just know as much as I choose to share on this site. I have zero virgo placements, two cap placements, and one aqua placement. I have 3 pisces placements and....5? water placements over all. Yet, I didn't list any water signs, there. You can say I'm in denial, but remember, I know the most about myself.
And, really, I hope you didn't take any offense to that what so ever. I did not write that with any anger or malice! Promise!

9 Wing 1
general description
Average 9/1 has a sort of cloudlike softness. The one-wing adds a flavor of intellectuality, but nine is more powerful, so the 9/1's thoughts are not likely to receive much reality-testing. As a result, 9/1 often has a set of beliefs about the world that may seem superstitious or magical to others. For 9/1, this is no problem, because, strange as it may seem, these magical beliefs often seem to actually work for them. Unlike 9/8, 9/1 has a kind of refinement and poise, because of the one-wing's desire to be perfect. But 9/1 is more likely to lie down and take a nap than the more workaholic 1/9.
balanced and transcendent states
Balanced 9/1 somehow becomes more present. Now there is really somebody home, a genuine being with actual goals and self-interest who happily starts creating results in the world. Nine begins to show some threeish ambition and the one-wing begins to loosen up its perfectionism. While such a person is still probably involved in activities that are non-threatening and not particularly visible in the world at large, the results often affect others in ways that are surprisingly useful and subtle.
Advanced 9/1 finds deep sevenish joy in the accomplishment of personal goals. Usually the goals involve teaching or otherwise empowering others. Oneish intellectual rigor assumes real importance when the desire for withdrawal diminishes, allowing 9/1 to risk genuine involvement. Thoughts and internal images finally correspond to actual reality and 9/1 is able to transmit to others a special and powerful kind of integrated self-actualization.

unbalanced and unhealthy states
Under stress, nineish withdrawal increases, accompanied by oneish judgment of self and others. 9/1 retreats into a fantasy world inhabited by comfortably fuzzy generalities and stereotyped images of other people. These are the people 9/1 wishes could inhabit the real world -- wishful, perfect images of real people. Unfortunately, because 9/1 is convinced of the reality of these internally generated images, real-life interactions suffer when people do not live up to their idealized images. But the 9/1 tries very hard not to notice.
In the extreme, it becomes nearly impossible not to see the discrepancies between the perfect inner images and the outward reality. Total isolation becomes the only way to avoid seeing that the world is populated by disturbingly imperfect, unpredictable, demanding, untrustworthy beings. Life falls apart at the seams and psychotic 9/1 eventually may reach a state of catatonic pseudo-coma. Even eating and drinking can become too much work. No one is home in the body, and the body itself is allowed to fall into ruins.
