Does Sun Sign Matter?

Does Sun Sign Define Your True Zodiac Identity

Your sun sign is a key aspect of your astrology profile but not the only one. Multiple planetary influences and your entire natal chart contribute to your personality. Having more planets in a specific sign suggests a stronger influence from that sign, but it does not solely define your identity or how you present yourself.

Tell me what you think of this. I'll use myself as a test dummy. I have atleast 5 Capricorn influences but only two Scorpios (Sun and Pluto). Does this mean I am really a Capricorn?

I was talking to Roxi this morning and she explained to me about how she had some Librarian influences. I hadn't looked at her as a Libra before but now that I think about it, she certainly seems more like a Libra than a Scorpio to me, which made me think...

How relevant is out sun sign? If we have more than 2 or 3 influences than any other are we more that sign?

I've wondered about this myself - I only have Virgo Sun in my chart, and it's a Libra Cusp, so how much does it actually influence my behavior? (Assuming that astrology has any validity at all!) Honestly, I often feel more motivation from my Taurus Moon and/or Scorpio Rising - like they play tug-of-war in my psyche, and override rational Virgo...

I agree with you about Lady_M -- "You do have a secretive aura about you especially when you only say one or two words." -- BUT, I don't know that many Aquas to say whether she's typical or not...

Anyway, only Virgo describes most of my thoughts and behaviors most of the time, and like the Rising Sign Compatibility Chart [http://librarising.com/astrology/fwa/risingrelations.html] posted by Sorry!, the other parts of my chart seems pretty accurate, too...

I agree .. M does not appear to be Aqua.

Roxi a Libra? That's not apparant to me.

"Rising is supposed to be how you act."

Scorpuis, do you think I act like a Leo?
Do you see me as a Cancer, acting like a Leo?

Yet, it feels all Piscean in here .... it's hard to pinpoint each behaviour according to planets.

The planets emphasize qualities of our sun sign. You're still what your sun sign is it's just tweaked into different directions than what is assumed as typical from the specific sun description.

Scorpius ...U seem like an Aries..and I don't know why.

P-Angel, yeah shez more of a Leo.

Archie - 100 % Sag.

Pluto - I always thought of aqua women as chirpy, talented and unorthodox. U fit the bill.

MM - Scorpio but not to the core. Ur outlook is less complex and more refreshing.

Cap - Shez a darling and a Cap.

Roxi - There are two types of scorp females I have come across - a. secretive, meek and scheming b. outspoken and brave. Roxx belongs to the latter category.

Bling - U need a 13th sign to typecast him.

Yama - 100 % Scorpio. Show no mercy.

Notso - Type B scorpio but introspects a lot.

The manly protective flare is probably from the Scorpionic influences. As for Pisces. Again lol? What's the deal. Also Devil is pretty close to the Aqua-Fishy cusp which explains it.

Dk seems pisces when it comes to Amy...or than that, aqua it is!

cappysweetie...libra/aqua

bling (whom I heart, but he knows I dont like that cancer placement πŸ˜’πŸ˜›) has his scorpio moments but usually a libra.

Notso...is a scorpio for true.

Am Aries during the day, when I actually should be an Aqua. Under the influence of Moon I turn Aqua at night, when I actually should be an Aries πŸ˜›

BTW I used to call myself Aquaries.

sun sign does matter, but much of this depends on the individual. if the sun is their ruling planet (being that the native's rising is in leo), a singleton or unaspected (it's very rare for any planet in any person's chart to be unaspected), then it will take precedence in their chart and thus their character and personality. the sun is often intertwined with its house, moon and ascendant, thereby adding more dimensions to the individual's character. aspects with other planets from other houses further the coloring of the person's character and personality. hence, no one is really a pure aries, taurus, etc. despite having a stellium in that sign. the reason for this is because, say for example, if you have sun conjunct saturn in gemini, it will lend some cap influences to your character. you will be more methodical and careful, unlike a typical gemini who would probably be more rash and impulsive. place this in a house that the influence and issues of that house will add more flavor to your character.

Damn right M!

"Yeah I'm still a cheerleader DK"

Awesome. I'm having a hard time picturing a Virgo on top of the pyramid though.

"Do you still play ball?"

Yes I do. Semi-Pro. Hopefully Just Pro in the future.

"Why did you delete your account?"

No... Why did YOU delete your account?!?!

haha you can't picture a virgo on top?

LOL! Should I go there or shouldn't I? I mean there's so much I can do with this one line lol.

I'm not, I'm actually a base, I'm terrified of heights...

I love heights. Why are you afraid of heights is it some sort of phobia or you just don't like getting high?
