Hypothetically, say you become a household name (like Kim Kardashian, Christian Bale or Miley Cyrus level famous). It doesn't matter what you're famous for.

Being honest, how well do u think you'd cope with fame and celebrity life?

-Would relentless and intrusive paparazzi make you lose your cool?
-How would you cope with zero privacy?
-How would you cope with pressure and demands made on you? (To lose weight, get a nose job, do xyz at this or that event)
-Would you succumb to peer pressure to party (alcohol and hard drugs) if you had to in order to avoid alienating yourself from key players in your chosen industry?
-How much would you interact with fans? If you constantly had fans pestering you for autographs, pictures together, or questions, would you ever blow them off?
-Would you act out and do crazy things that would embarrass you later on?

I would love the attention but inevitably require regular periods of seclusion or risk losing my sanity. I would be okay with fans. I could handle criticism. And if I'm working or being around large groups of people I would rather keep my wits about me than become intoxicated.

But I need to be able to recharge my batteries in privacy.

No, I'm too private about what's really going on in my life so celebrity status would take that away from me with all the spying photographers do. Plus I'm fond of being alone & no celebrity is without an entourage. The life style would drive me nuts.

That's why I thought you were an Aries. You're an Aries Ascendant!

I would be the paparazzi's worse nightmare If i was walking down the street and they were getting in my way I would quite possibly get into a fight with them then cry that my life is not fair??_.yeh I think I would handle it well depending on what drugs I was taking at the time...

In theory; if I were famous & continually stifled/exploited by the media as a result, first I'd cry into my heaping tower of cash...then make a gradual, concerted effort to fade into obscurity by being boring as fvc.k until my name became virtually irrelevant.

And live happily ever after.

Not sure about midheaven, I'll report back later

LOL @ crying into heaping tower of cash. I wonder how many of the psycho ones (like Kanye) actually do just that. I imagine people like him say "I aint sleeping on the bed with you tonight, I'll be on the floor having a sleepover with the old presidents".

I'm a camera whore, and as long as I have a sanctuary to be alone, friends, and the opportunity to scape once in a while from paparazzi, everything's just right.

I don't think it would bother me. i'd rather not be famous. Only thing good would to be promoting positive things like charity groups and telling brats they need to step up and love themselves. Like the cool celebs do.

Frankly, with those placements how could you NOT be? LOL IRL.
I'm not even trying to be r00de it's just that the love for photo-ops is so characteristic of a double-Libra with a LEO RISING that it's comical & uncanny. 😛

JAJAJAJA!!! I get you... Cameras are Leo Rising best friends. But let's admit it: we're the bosses 😉
