why and what placements

would make one likely to suck up or be a sycophant?

a fawning, bootlicking minion sucking up for any semblance of power/strength?

is this a social skillset?

pls state your dominant sign element.

Gemini - unfortunately.

i've always believed gemini is the ultimate survivor of the zodiac

like i can see most actual survivalists to be gemini also in the physical sense

there's something about their psyche maybe that can better process trauma or... not process trauma, not sure how to describe

a gemini just moves on

i probably normally would say this of mutables,, but maybe for air sign energy even moreso

I haven't the faintest idea what a sychopant is I never used that word nor do I know how to pronounce it. But Scorpio I know are suck ups. And possibly even ass kissers.

virgo

i've always thought there's an innate social retardation in virgo

that prevents them to acquire social skillsets like this

Leo moons love to ingratiate themselves

gosh there's that word i'm looking for. if i really pushed myself, then i might be able to train myself to develop this skill. but i always lose my temper and am openly condescending. bigotry doesn't lend itself well to this skillset.

this might be able to help me at work but i always manage to ostracize myself from co-workers.

I remember when I looked up every available member of the Nazi military and SS. The 2 most common signs were Virgo, Libra.. you do what you want with that info. Leos were few and left early on.

virgo energy might be mistaken coz it's servile, assistant-like by nature

but knowing me, it's only coz i don't like being bothered and i gotta blame somebody in management at the end of the day with a little distance from actual big responsibility

libra though i can definitely see but it's kinda admirable in libra (like i feel socially-lacking around them)... and that combination/cusp is very Augustus who i believe makes the ultimate politician

kissing ass & bootlicking is not a skillset

earth signs have a mercenary-quality to them. most people think it's mostly about money/material/resources (especially with taurus and capricorn) but value involves TRANSACTION.

and with virgos, there is trade for UTILITY not simply material/resources.

this quality is present in ALL earth signs (even cerebral, mutable virgo).

one of the reasons it can't be a sycophant without the proper air placements/energy is coz of this nature. we tend to move with PURPOSE (but there is manic, impatient need for immediate gratification with mercurial virgo). if someone so transactional, so mercenary moved this way..... it will be too transparent.

Not libra I’ve never met a libra that respects power structures or authority without reason. Right and wrong is too important to us if it’s not logical good luck trying to make us do something. We’re nice but never past the balance to sycophantic. Everrrr.

yes of course libras ARE fair

i've got that energy in my mars (which is unfortunately mixed with aries energy too lol)

when i feel some type of injustice, i become very bratty
