I thought Sadge because of the love of foreign countries and poetry

You may be seeing the rising sign/ascendant. That sign is typically your outer "mask" or how others see/treat you. It's also possible for a person to have so many planets in a particular sign that they take on characteristics of that sign, even if their sun and ascendant aren't in it.

Yes, I agree with you - it is very difficult to just isolate the sunsign.

Do you know much about Vedic astrology Fran?

I saw a google video about the Nazis and the occult and it said that Himmler's astrologer had correctly predicted an attempt on Hitler's life on July 20 1944 and Hitler's death in April 1945. I saw his charts and it's all Vedic astrology, and each sign's degree is also subdivided into signs -Vedic astrology only uses some of the planets, so it works out

I know about Vedic Astrology, not sure if I could say I know much. They are more focused on the sign of the moon and the acendant, however, also use the sunsigns. In addition they have 27 moonsigns. Further, one of the main differences is that they use the sideral zodiac instead of the tropical one used in western astrology.

Re: Monday - Open Thread (4.00 / 2)

Vedic has a reputation for making very accurate specific predictions. How much this has to do with the use of sidereal vs. tropical I don't know. Heavier emphasis on the ascendant may play a role, but I'm speculating here based on personal experience with mine-- Western astrological influences affecting my rising sign tend to affect me more than those affecting my sun sign, and I can imagine Vedic knows something about this us westerners don't. ^-^

No one's guessed my sun sign, but they usually seem to get my rising sign (which they assume is my sun sign, of course).

Re: Monday - Open Thread (4.00 / 2)

okay, let me try and think here. I am not too familiar with your comments, but I would guess with your love of esoterica, that you would be a Scorpio

Re: Monday - Open Thread (4.00 / 1)

No, but you are closer than most people, in more ways than one.

I'm a Sadge, born November 24. So:

Close to the Scorpio/Sadge cusp, which means I do have some Scorpio traits
Jupiter is in Scorpio in my birth chart-- big planet, planet of luck, etc. A lot of "advice" for Scorpios tends to work for me too. (There's one astrologer whose gimmick is to look at the Jupiter sign and act like that sign, and I have to admit, that's really put a few more pieces in place in my life, though I'm willing to admit that power of suggestion may play a role.... Whichever, it's worked so far)

Re: Monday - Open Thread (none / 1)

Sadge would have been my second guess.

I also have Jupiter in Scorpio, at 24 deg, Ascendant in Scorpio at 29.5 deg, so first house is Sadge and Jupiter playing a big role because it is conjunct to my ascendant and ruler of my first house

I always thought that is why I was tall.

Re: Monday - Open Thread (none / 0)

You lost me a bit. The ascendant is in the sign on the first house cusp, so if your ascendant is Scorpio, your first house would be Scorpio. Or am I totally misinterpreting what you wrote? I know houses can contain more than one sign, so do you mean the majority of your first house is in Sadge, while the very beginning where your ascendant is, is in Scorpio?

I'm still learning the house systems and am thus easily confused.

Re: Monday - Open Thread (none / 1)

because I am at 29.5 deg Scorpio, my first house is about half a degree of Scorpio and 29 degrees of Sag, to simplify it.

No, you're forgetting about my ascendant. It's underneath that I'm a complete bitch. ;)

Unfortunately my ascendant appears to rule my sex life and it's waaay far away from "maniac."

Re: Monday - Open Thread (4.00 / 3)

In sharing a house with some Hippies 15 years ago, who were so new age as to be untrue, A friend of mine and I spent an evening creating the one word description Horroscope. to instantly (And just as accurately as regular horroscopes) sum up everyone we met. I can remeber a few of them

Sagitarius came out as The one true perfect star sign (Guess the star sign of the originators) ;-)
Scorpios were Bastards
Pisces were Drunks and drug adicts
and Virgos came out as NEVER trust a Virgo
