What chart aspects or placements lead to narcissism? I've become fascinated with narcissism and I've done a little research and heres what I've got.

General Narcissistic Traits--

Magical Thinking
Arrogance
Envy
Entitlement
Exploitation
Lack Boundaries
Shame-based personaltiy
Rejection of the Real Self in exchange for a beholded false self
Narcissistic Supply - Attention, adulation, affection, praise, etc... (Self-esteem regulation)

Heres some placement ideas for Narcissism

Narcissus (37117)
You can tell by the name..Basically if this astroid touches something personal in your chart, or something personal in another persons chart, then you'll be narcissistic.

Echo (60)
Echo represents giving yourself away to others. Your personality is "echoed" in another person. Echo shows narcissism because she is essentially rejecting her real self by craving affection and love from another person to feed her false self.
So if echo touches something personal, could also be narcissistic, but an inverted narcissism

Zodiac Signs
I don't think zodiac signs determine if someone is narcissistic really, but it's something to think about.

Aquarius - Sun in the 11th
detachment
associated with the god complex ("I'm above all or special")
genius or intelligent - triggers the "above all"
opposite of Leo, an outward friendship rather than inner. Focusing on your outer world means you don't have to get deep or in intimacy; easy narcissistic supply, especially by doing charity or performing in large groups and organizations

Libra - Sun in the 7th
similar to echo... Libra seems to be a little fake--shaping themselves just so they can be liked or have friendships--rejecting the true self

Aspects
North Node conjunct Sun
North node is agressive and wants to take shortcuts
The north node is destiny and isn't achieved until later, so the person could develop narcissism I guess

VENUS-PLUTO
This aspect seems to be the most influencial in determining narcissism. Usually narcissist aren't found unless you are in a relationship with one
Venus is about relationships of course and when aspect by pluto it triggers insecurities and or a sense of rejection either in yourself or in relationships bringing our defense mechanisms such as narcissism.

I've seen Venus Pluto and Pluto in general come up a bit
In a personal relationship where I accused someone of being a narcissist we had this as an EXACT negative aspect

And astrologers with these websites have claimed so that pluto or venus/pluto mean narcissism

These websites claim that Pluto has a huge influence regarding narcissism

Lastly as my personal opinions
Neptune-Sun Aspect and Pluto-Sun or Moon

Narcissists are extremely delusional and lack boundaries. Similar to Neptune and Sun lacking boundaries and being aware of their ego.

My personal judgement about the my people with Aquarius placements (Sun, Mercury, Moon so far) has been that they are arrogant (feeling superior no matter what).

Never I came to the word "narcisstic" for them. Maybe because they are nice and friendly and do good things to the others at the same time. Also their differing ideas are a bless in my eyes

If Aqua with good ideas is forgiven for their narcissism, then I could forgive Libras too. For their beauty. And Virgos. For their hard try to achieve perfection.

Heh? why is Virgo not on here? Or does my sister have Sun in the 7th? That gives me a key to guess her AC. thank you.

Is square a sign of it? or weakening it? I have squares and my sis too. she has Narcissus/Leo/14 square to Neptune, Mars and Venus. 17, 19, 6.

She has also Echo conjunct Sun, Mercury, Pluto and Uranus: 12° to 8°, 19°, 16° and 15.
an inverted narcissism?
That needs more thoughts.

maybe the tendencies are there astrologically but the environment we grow up in also shapes us so I don't think you can nail this one by the planets - my mother was an extreme narcissist and she was Leo Sun, I have no idea what other planets she has lined up. I guess I could look at this to see what you are saying - another term for a narcissist is that they feel "entitled" and you are correct - they are fully functional and outgoing people and it seems they have it all - until you are around them for a period of time and then you see that they actually just "feed" off others - manipulative and very scheming to get what they want and if they don't get it - look out !

Heyyyy

Narcissist's aren't necessarily people who obsess over a mirror. A true narcissist is someone who had denied their true self and create a false self for attention and adulation.

Yes I do. Except it's an inconjunction (quincunx). Not sure if that means it could have the same effect as a regular venus-pluto aspect. But I aslo have Pluto trine Sun and Pluto square Moon, so I'm sure there's something going on.

Well I mean you could put in Virgo, but then again you could put in every sign honestly for any reason. Aries because they're selfish, Leo's because they think they're the best and so on.. I've just thought of aquarians and libras to be the most likely to deny their true self and project a false image. Virgo's don't seem the type to do that at all.

And based on those aspects you could be narcissistic, but then again this is just a food for thought thread. Astrology probably can't really determine narcissism, but just give us clues. But the narcissus astroid you have is really interesting, but I think astroids don't have a real impact unless they're tightly conjuncting another personal planet, but the orbs you have are exact so I don't know.

I don't insist on this. It is just that my sister shows signs of narcissisism and she was diagnosed once with that title whicde made her very angry.

she is very sweet and helpful so at the first glance one would not check for narcissism. afterall maybe she is not one and that diagnosis could have been wrong.

Linda Goodman did not bring Virgo and narcissism in one sentence.

and I laugh - most narcissists are very hard to diagnose and the profession does not really want to try to treat them because they are in such denial - so if you "think" you might be a narcissist, believe me in saying that you are not

most people do have some tendencies that would fit into many of the categories of the disorder descriptions but they are not problematic in life - and many disorders are difficult to diagnose as they can overlap and seemingly come and go ... the field seems to be coming up with more and more "labels" but it's difficult to find an exact fit with overlapping

lol - I just stay away - far away - when I run into people with any type of disorder - I have a very low tolerance due to growing up under someone who had these issues

Did your partners have it natally as well? People with natal personal to outer planet aspects will have them with everyone in their immediate age group

Yes, I've thought about that. His pluto is practically the same as my pluto--just off by two degrees. But becuase of that thought, I've wondered if everyone I've met would then have some kind of manipulative or narcissistic relationship with me, but maybe I'm just over-thinking. And I usually have relationships with people much older than me, anyway.

This is the relative, aggressive and dangerous since traumatic experience:
Image Not Found
And this guy fits the narcissist description pretty well too. He says he thinks he has this birthtime though but I think everything would be more accurate if he were a Sag asc
Image Not Found

First the first chart there is a venus/pluto inconjunction !!!, Neptune square sun for that delusion. And then a moon and sun being aspected by saturn which could make the person feel like there's a lacking of self. And a random moon in aquarius which is also interesting. Are you saying this chart reperesents a person or event?

For the other chart, Neptune totally overtakes venus and the sun and that random moon in Leo. I've heard many ego people have sun's or moon's in Leo.

Obviously can't tell if this is narcissism, but is definitely interesting. Neptune seems to be important as well.

" because they are in such denial "

this is the first thing I thought to myself when she told the story. and at that time I have read nothing about narcissism on the net. I had only a vague idea of what the word wants to say.

would they tell me any kind of disorder, I would say "yes a little it can be true, but is it the excatest matching of all for me?".

I've been called vain & narcissistic before and I have the Venus/Pluto Conjunction in my chart..

OHHH!! O: That's sooo interesting!

I guess the Venus and Pluto pairing is responsible for that

click to expand

I have the square myself and it seems fairly manageable if I had to be honest; it's more about getting rid of the possessiveness (while in a relationship) than being vain or narcissistic.

You only need to mature, find the right person and you'll see this aspect becoming innocuous.

Libra sun. (Mercury &😉 Venus conjunct Pluto.

I've had my self-loathing + concerned about being liked days. External validation was like music to my ears. So glad I grew to realize how meaningless it truly is. Last but not least: I'm probably one of the most humble people I know .. humble on the surface 😉

I have a dissociate and "mutable" T-square in angular houses (4th-7th-10th).
Exalted jupiter in Cancer (10th) opposes moon (fire singleton) in Sagittarius (4th), with focal point being Sun/mercury in Pisces (7th), missing leg is my Virgo ascendant.

It's tricky.

Sun/mercury square Jupiter (2 degree orb) feels like a proper trine but then by degree it's not, I'm in tune with myself but then I'm not if a consider the square and that creates a weird feeling of disconnection. On one side I feel very humble but on the other I feel "forced" to be overly confident/narcissist to overcome those negative and prominent aspects.

Sometimes I voluntarily tone my ego down, albeit I know I'm a lot more functional, given my innate desire for changes, when I switch it up.

Well all celebrities tend to be more narcissistic. But yes we all do to some degree. Narcissists, however, deny their true self so much that they become dysfunctional and harm other people.
