Why sun sign astrology doesnât work
Letâs face it: a lot of the time, you wonât relate to your sun sign.
Your sun sign is who you are at your BEST. Itâs who you are when youâre in your element, when youâre confident, when youâre in a comfortable situation.
Your sun sign is your identity, but also who you aspire to be. When you think of your sun sign, you think of the qualities that make you special, and make you an individual. Itâs probably something youâre proud of. But also, itâs something to live up to; itâs a goal to be the best version of your sun sign that you can possibly be.
The sun sign is extremely important, because it follows you throughout your life in all ways, but it often canât be pinpointed to specifics like the other placements can. Itâs much more broad; itâs always present, but sometimes itâs just out of reach.
People will not always see your sun sign when they first meet you. But close friends will see your sun sign more than anything else, because they see the best in you.
Your RISING sign is who you are all the time, without thinking about it. Itâs natural.
Any time you feel threatened, need to put up a front, want to âappearâ a certain wayâŚthat is your rising sign. Many people donât consider the rising sign as important as the sun. But in reality, itâs more important.
Some people arenât even aware of their rising sign. Some people will be surprised when they read the description. But if you ask anyone around you, they will see it immediately. You canât hide your rising sign, you have to just accept it.
If you meet someone for the first time, that is their rising sign.
Your moon sign wonât be seen by the world at first either, but a lot of times it can be seen more than the sun sign. Your moon sign is your instinctual reactions and ways of living.
Any time youâre upset, youâre happy, youâre jealous, youâre disappointedâŚthese are all times that your moon sign will show. Depending on the sign, of course, it will show in different ways.
Anything to do with the emotions cannot be defined by the sun sign. That is the realm of the moon sign. People wonder why they donât relate to their sun sign on a lot of different posts - this is why. The moon sign is far more important, because it is your immediate needs and behavior.
People who see through you see your moon sign; people who are able to connect with you emotionally. They have to look deeply enough to get through the wall put up by the rising sign, though.
Mercury is how you get your message across. When you meet someone, thereâs a bit of mercury thrown in there too, since theyâll be communicating with you.
Sometimes people will not consider you to be a lot like your sun sign. Thatâs probably because your mercury is in a different sign than your sun. Itâs a bit conflicting, because the words you say are quite different from who you actually are - you might seem more like your mercury sign in some ways.
Mercury is probably the least appreciated and noticed placement in astrology. People always seem to forget about it, but itâs absolutely vital to understanding someoneâs personality.
âWhat is an *insert sign here* like in love?â This is the question that everyone wants to know. Unfortunately, people usually answer it with sun sign. Again.
Venus is your true âloveâ placement. You might get a sense of what someone is like with their sun sign, but in a relationship you might be surprised when they act so differently. Their idea of romance might be drastically different from their central identity.
Mars is where to look if you want to get an idea of the overall energy someone gives off. Rising sign has a part in this too, but mars is how someone takes action.
Mars, in a sense, is also related to love because itâs how someone does the pursuing. Mars has to do with initiative (and how much of that you take).
Next time you make an astrology post, read an astrology post, or think about astrology in any way, remember this. Most people donât do their research, and make assumptions that all sun signs are a certain way, and all people will relate to all aspects of their sun sign. This is not the case.
Think to yourself: is this asking about me on a daily basis? My emotions? How I communicate? How I act in love? My impulses?
Chances are, itâs not your sun sign.
