Common misconceptions about the Signs — Part 2
Obviously, this depends on the placement but for the sake of “simplicity“, I’d like to quickly go into a few misconceptions i generally hear frequently!
Libras are diplomatic and peacemakers. If you are into politics, two very famous and honestly more than just questionable Libra politicians might come to mind. I think that air signs in general have very strong analytical qualities and capabilities, however that seems to have gotten lost in the conversation around libra placements. I find that many people with heavy libra influences in their charts have strong opinions and also try to implement whatever it is they believe in in their surroundings. Especially with conflict, a person with a heavy libra chart either sees the point or finds it absolutely ridiculous and can’t get behind the whole issue. That’s why you might find a libra heavy chart in the position of a peacemaker if they aren’t really invested or they dissected the entire conflict analytically and found a way to resolve it. Honorable mention: that doesn’t necessarily have to be a selfish move, resolving issues for others can always have its perks.
Scorpios are manipulative and dark. Personally, I don’t necessarily agree with the whole narrative around Scorpios being dark, but most people with strong scorpio energy are definitely intense which imo is something oftentimes confused with being “dark“. Because many people with scorpio heavy charts don’t share crucial information about themselves, they can come across as manipulative: they don’t share anything that can hurt them, yet they always get information from other people that can be used against them. Obviously, information is power & unevolved strong scorpio placements might even resort to manipulation or even hinting at the power they hold, BUT in many cases I think just the fact that they hold power through knowing so much can feel intimidating and therefore threatening/manipulative.
Sagittarians are unserious. As a Sagittarius stellium myself, I have heard this a lot and I find it very interesting tbh. Sagittarius is a sign that is ruled by Jupiter, depending on one‘s Jupiter placement, some people with strong Sagittarius influences seem to be blessed with the “lucky girl syndrome“, which essentially means that everything works out somehow. And honestly I somewhat agree with this. A lot of struggles for Sagittarius heavy charts are battled internally, so most of it isn’t discussed openly or even displayed openly. That’s why it can seem like people with heavy Sagittarius influences in their birth chart are unserious, don’t have any battles to fight and kind of “trust the process“ blindly, when in reality issues are resolved in silence and there might even be a strong baseline confidence that everything is gonna work out, making it seem as though Sagittarians don’t take anything seriously.
Capricorns are emotionally unavailable. This is probably one of my favorite misconception, because I really enjoy having capricorn influenced people around. Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, which isn’t necessarily an easy influence to navigate. People with strong capricorn influences in their charts can easily come across as “old souls“, seeking things that are deeper and being interested in things that are complex to understand. Especially children and teenagers with those influences in their charts can seem like the odd one out, they seem to be older than they actually are, making it difficult for your average kid to bond and find common ground. In your 20s and early 30s, Capricorns can come across as emotionally unavailable in today’s pop culture world that is nowadays heavily influenced by hookup culture and superficial friendships.
Aquarius is antisocial. I think people with strong aquarius energy in their charts are one of the firsts to truly understand and implement the concept of high quality deeply rooted friendships over superficial connections. They can come across as anti social in settings they are unfamiliar with but in my opinion that’s mainly because they tend to be very content with their social environment and overall situation, so there is logically no need for them to go out, look for “new friends“ and socialize for no reason. Also, people with a heavy aquarius influence in their chart can be very direct, which can come across as rude or maybe even as antisocial if they are honestly communicating that they have no desire for any new friendships or connections that require a lot of time investment.
Pisces are delusional. Now, I love this misconception because i think it is strongly linked to how society has developed. People with a strong pisces energy in their chart, especially in their personal planets (sun, moon, mercury, venus, mars) are often described as dreamers and even delusional when it comes to their outlook on life. However, I find that pisces usually just decide to see the positive side to things and people until they’re proven otherwise, and even then they try to see the positive side to a tough situation. With modern day society that kind of mentality is often times belittled and ridiculed as being stupid and naive, when in reality it is just having a positive outlook in life to create a more beautiful life experience for yourself. Especially in countries and societies with a strong focus on work and achievements, a positive attitude is perceived as childish and even as a weakness.
