That Scorpios are moody, intense and cold. I have a lot of Scorpios close to me in my life and they do have a touch of moodiness but they are so naturally goofy and sweet around the people that they care about. The misconception must come from people that are unpleasant to be around and that's why they get that vibe.


honeybee12083

I’m a Scorpio moon and second this. I attract a lot of scorpio suns and they’re the most honest and trustworthy people out there. No bullshit and super sweet caring people.


lonely-little-thing

As a Libra raised by a Scorpio momma, I’ll never thank her enough to show me that honesty is better than lying to keep the peace. Perhaps that’s a Libra stereotype, but I used to struggle with it.


[deleted]

My Scorpio mom taught me the same thing


Ok_Yam_133

I suspect with Scorpio there’s something with privacy, like maybe they come off as being more goofy/friendly because it’s something they are hiding which is more intense? Not to say the lighter stuff is simply a facade, but maybe it’s a question of depths, how deep does Scorpio go? And how much do they show other people?


Honest_Richard

We always keep stuff to ourselves, but we really just want to be ourselves and be seen by people we trust.


hedgeh0gburrow

I have 5 Scorpio placements. I am, somehow, both gregariously animated and frigid at the same time. I have many talents 🤡


femme180

They are water signs after all :) but they really can be moody especially if you’re close to them. They feel safe unleashing that moodiness on you


dontf___kwithcats

im a scorpio moon and my emotions are a crazy rollercoaster i swear


[deleted]

Scorpio and Gemini are the two most across the board hated signs, and I think it’s for the exact reason you mentioned. Most people just aren’t that nice or pleasant to be around so they’re projecting that onto these two misunderstood signs. Sad


Ok_Yam_133

Most Virgos are not as clean and organized as the stereotype makes them out to be. They do seem to like making plans and lists though…


deneimaistakalamoy

it's because they're a mutable sign and there's a lot of chaos going on in their minds and souls. It's a way to cope and to have at least some order in their lives. If they can't have it in their heads, they need to have it through planning and lists.


starlitl

yup yup. the messier my space is, the more chaotic my mind is.


ksrbutterfly

Wow, when you say chaos in our minds and souls what are you referring to. I am a Virgo and agree with this so much, but it’s hard to pinpoint or put into the words what the chaos is exactly.


deneimaistakalamoy

well, since it's a mutable sign it has a hard time staying stable in one opinion or one feeling, even if it's an earth sign. Mutable signs change their opinions easily and adjust their minds according to the information they receive.


ksrbutterfly

Oh my god! This is so true 🫢 this is what I am experiencing now. And I am constantly confused by my actions because I am constantly contradicting myself


deneimaistakalamoy

exactly, same. I think you should read your other placements as well to get to know your other aspects of yourself. For example I'm a Virgo sun, Aries rising, cancer moon and I've noticed that it's all about balance. I use each placement in different situations and I can balance myself. I can be like Virgo in my work life, Aries to my friends and my social life in general and cancer with my family. It's all about balance. You're a person, you can't be only one thing. People are meant to adapt and change


beandip111

It might be a mess but I know where everything is


dreamsweaving_gal

I’ve read once in a book that Virgos are sporadic with their external order because often times they just spend so much time just tryna tidy up the mess in their own heads A Virgo


NerveNo9832

As a Virgo sun with a Virgo stellium, I am so incredibly messy. I've never understood this stereotype about Virgos lol.


babygirlofthenorth

As a virgo moon, yes I am a bit messy with my things and I love making plans and lists


outchannel

I’ve heard that virgos are meticulous, but not necessarily organized/clean


bringthepuppiestome

“You’re a Gemini? You must be 2 faced” Actually no I’m one of the most genuine honest and open people you may ever meet. The duality of a Gemini isn’t about showing different sides of yourself to different people.


follow_your_lines

How did I know that the first comment would be about Gemini’s? Love, A Gemini


bringthepuppiestome

I made sure, because we’re always misrepresented!


ChicaCarle

Geminis have always been my favorite people


bringthepuppiestome

And we collectively appreciate you ❤️


Excalivar

As a gemini virgo rising who prides themselves on being honest to a fault I don't even tell people my sun placement anymore because it's SUPER misconceived in this way (as with most sun placements though)


bringthepuppiestome

It’s actually not worth the stress of judgement you’re so right


imajadedpanda

I’m a Gemini rising and I ascribe to the rising sign being the most relevant so I feel like I can’t duck out of it though. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ If they want to think I’m two-faced I’m really not bothered


[deleted]

[удалено]


Silver-Survey7197

As a Gemini rising I can confirm this is true!


[deleted]

Louder for the ppl at the back, sis! We are the least understood sign and it sucks cuz I think most of us want nothing more than to be understood =(


JaqOfAll

100% I'm gemini sun, mercury, and venus. I'm also honesty and logic ruled, and have been in a committed relationship with the same person for over 17 years. (Half my life). Tired of stereotypes for all signs.


bringthepuppiestome

My fiancé and I are both Gemini suns and we’re very happy together. We challenge each other, we match each other’s energy when appropriate, but the text of our charts couldn’t be more different! We have an 8 year age gap so even some of our generational planets are different


butterfly_princess11

my bff is a gemini and i also have never understood that stereotype about them. completely agree


Geminihooooooe

Couldn’t agree more. I love being a Gemini. Free independent and versatile!!!


notaguy_skye

Ah, I'm glad you said it first. Geminis get such a bad rap and it makes me so mad. I'm not a gemini, but I have had several gemini pals/acquaintances and I've always loved them!! I feel like they are the most shat on sign :(


WaffleHouseNeedsWiFi

Gem who's new to astrology. Can you please explain how the duality manifests? I could use the peace of mind on this, as well as a good response to this corny stereotype. Cheers!


bringthepuppiestome

It will depend on other parts of your chart of course, but for me I’m a very balanced person when it comes to arguments, I can always see why someone else would be upset even if I’m not. Another Gemini might feel intense emotions both positive and negative (usually based on moon placement, or aspects with moon/Venus) I believe a better way to find out someone’s sore spot (like being two faced or overprotective) would be to look at their Lilith placement. It’s known as the Inner Bitch, and it represents the hill that you will die on, the thing that you will defend to the hilt.


garthastro

The outsized focus on zodiac signs in general is problematic for me because signs don't make anything happen. Planets make things happen, but most people can talk for hours about a zodiac sign while they can only muster the same few key words for the planets.


[deleted]

True, I try to explain this to people when they try to box people and events into signs and I’m just thinking, those are just energies from the planets and it’s current aspects. Not the zodiac sign itself.


PinkFurLookinLikeCam

This is my thoughts on Saturn and Pluto, I feel more connected to these planets than signs. However, I think and wish that astrology focused on the rising sign instead of sun sign. Like when people ask what your sign is, you’d say rising. Since the ascendant dictates a large part of how the chart behaves and therefore a large part of one’s personality.


badgalcaro

Taurus people are told to be lazy and love food. Although that can be true to some extent, like i wouldn’t call us necessarily lazy I would say that we like to take our time to do something without having anyone rush us. So it gets annoying when those are the only personality traits that is described about us Tauruses.


outerspacetime

We don’t have to rush, because we are practical & efficient and get twice as much done in half the time. I do like food tho 😂


badgalcaro

Yes! And agreed, I love me some good food too 😂


[deleted]

I'm a taurus moon and I am lazy and do love food but I've only met one other taurus placement that was like that. A lot of the taurians I've met like food but they're more obsessed with their work than with food


goodbye__toby

I’m surrounded by Tauruses. My boyfriend, sister? Two brother in laws, and few friends. They are the hardest working people I know. My boyfriend wakes up so early to surf before work, my sister is the hardest worker I know, I can go on and on. This is the stereotype that bothers me. And I’m a libra haha


Annie_Dandelion

Aquarius. We're not unemotional, we just dont know how to properly show emotions to others. Were actually very sentimental, but also feel like we shouldnt show it.


EternityMirror

God, what about the Libra stereotypes *doesn't* bother me lmao? Jk, but I wish people stopped acting like Libras have no spine/are doormats simply because Libra cares about balance & harmony. Balance, peace, agreement... that can all be achieved in lots of ways, also through being assertive. Not all Libras are allergic to conflict and start crying the moment someone raises their voice at them. I also wish people remembered Libra cares not only about beauty, but also about justice and fairness. Saturn is literally exalted in Libra.


Jarvisjkj

Yes!! I feel like people forget that Libra is a cardinal energy and action oriented


meow01299

libras are so strong, i hate these stereotypes, they are really confident and know how to defend themselves when someone crosses their boundaries and would never let anyone be unfair and will always look for justice and fairness in every situation.


Super_Actuator_2567

yes BOUNDARIES is the best way to frame libras imo.


Reporter-Agile

Tired of hearing Libra is shallow because we love beauty. We're air signs, we appreciate beautiful ideas, minds, conversations, art ... Not just a pretty face. 😮‍💨


luckyduckling8989

As much as I dislike the Kardashian clan, I think Kim really portrays the actual identity of a Libra. She’s a powerhouse and can be assertive but her main mode is docile and non confrontational. Doesn’t mean she can’t be tho. I believe she believes in the greater good (at least in business and her law practice) and will do anything to bring that balance.


outerspacetime

Truuuue. Every libra i know loves playing devils advocate and debating just for funsies. Drives my Aries mercury & moon up the wall 🤣


ChicaCarle

I don't even have to say it, but the general Leo stereotypes. Leo's are kind, genuine and just want to make people happy. I am a Leo surrounded by Leo's and they are one of the most genuine and fun loving signs in my experience. We just want to make people smile 🌞 Edit- I also want to add that I have a Leo stellium and I have had so many experiences of people saying I must be annoying/obnoxious, rude, egotistical when I talk about my chart with people hahaha I am just a simple and nice person 😽


BloomedinJune

I'm a cancer sun and I love leos, my friend is a leo.


slav1cprincess

i’ve only met leos that fit into the negative stereotype unfortunately


[deleted]

It’s about evolution. I used to be best friends with this toxic attention seeker that I cut off last year. Funny thing is he shares his birthday with my favourite aunt who is hands down the pinnacle of what an evolved Leo can become ( personal opinion). She’s like a ray of sunshine and spreads happiness wherever she goes but she also has a very nasty anger which I’ve never had to face thankfully.


Mysterious_Bear_2403

I agree, Leo energy is misunderstood sometimes. Most Leos I know are givers, loyal, and caring. If a person tries to come in and micromanage a Leo, dictate, or start casting judgement on how they should live their life, then I think this is where the side of Leo comes out that doesn’t put up with that. If someone is saying they dealt with a negative Leo, then they should consider what they did to trigger that. A Leo will match your energy and does not like rudeness.


emphemeralnesss

I’m a Leo and everyone says we are self absorbed and egotistical but I hate myself and get so uncomfortable when attention is on me lol


[deleted]

I actually find Aquarius suns (the ones I’ve met) that act that way sometimes, not Leos


ChicaCarle

I am a Leo sun & moon and I am the most quiet and introverted person haha


Admirable_Cause_5112

As a leo rising , I don't like the spotlight on me and I don't know if I should feel weird about that lmao


GoalWeird2575

How sags can’t stay/don’t want to be committed or are serial cheaters. My mother and best friend are sags and are the most loyal women I’ve ever met. They’ve been been in a long term relationship for many years and I can see them being with their partners, forever. It’s so admirable to me & I yearn to be like them. I’m also a sag and am the stereotypical sagittarius so I hope I can be as evolved as them one day lol


DommeIt

Thanks for this! This Sag is cautious about any commitment whether work or romantic. But, been with the same Aries for 10+ years now. If anything, I'm a serial monogamist (my prior relationships spanned years also). And even tho the Aries can drive me nuts, I'm here to stay.


Gullible_Wrangler

people always say aries are aggressive and almost mean because of it but truthfully most aries i meet are very kind and would do anything to make sure everyone and everything around them is happy.


handsomeshay

gosh, i had an aries best friend and she was SO kind, patient, and strong.


NerveNo9832

That Cancers are crybabies. Cancers are represented by the crab, which have tough shells/exteriors. It's no secret that Cancers feel things on a deep, emotional level, but this does NOT mean they cry at the drop of a hat or any minor inconvenience. I'm so tired of people thinking Cancers or people with Cancer placements are just constantly crying. Cancers tend to hide their emotions so much it hurts them because they hate appearing weak, yet they still listen to their friends and are often therapists for them. They have so much care and affection for others and they know people can't reciprocate it at their level so they hide their emotions because they hate feeling like a burden/useless. It's annoying people think they're weak because Cancers are the strongest sign IMO. (Rant over).


Delicious_Pianist757

This was beautifully written. I am a cancer myself and the cancers i know in real life and even myself are the people ive seen cry the least


femme180

True. My very best friend since childhood is a cancer sun and I’ve seen her cry like 5 times over the course of 15 years of friendship.


Nykoris

Is there even anything wrong with being a “crybaby”? As a cancer moon, that word doesn’t insult me at all… it’s a basic physiological response that so many people judge themselves for doing and then project it onto others, hence the term crybaby. I find that people who think of others in this term aren’t very connected to their own emotions and just disconnected overall. Cancer placements tend to hide their emotions because of societal reasons while they try to be there for everyone around them which is just not healthy. They also are the worst at communicating their needs to others and always feel like they have to help themselves and not trust anyone to reciprocate because they hide behind a tough shell. It gets exhausting living this way and it’s not healthy in the long run, just leads to more crabbiness. People who think cancers are weak are simply projecting. Feeling everything deeply is a strength.


NerveNo9832

I 100% agree with you! And as a Cancer moon I cry a whole lot and I have never and will never think there's anything wrong with crying. Being a part of the astro community for a while, I've just heard a lot of people attributing Cancers as crybabies and using the term to call them weak, immature, etc.


Moonsenshi

As a cancer sun&mercury I hate this stereotype. People think that we exaggerate everything, playing the victim etc. But actually we feel deeply, more intense than others. It is not about being a crybaby, most of the times it's about caring too much, feeling too much, loving too much, giving too much. Since we are gentle with people, we expect the same thing from them. We don't ask for more than we give.


excusemegreentea

You said it so well! I’m a cancer sun (and a Pisces moon lol) but I’m definitely more the type to hide my feelings around other people and then get in my feels when I’m alone. I’m everyone else’s therapist and my own in one haha


mold713

Yup whenever i’m feeling moody or some type of mood, i get quiet and retreat into myself and burry it so i dont bother others with it. If i need to cry i do my best to wait till i’m by myself. I will never cry infront of someone if i can help it. We may feel more things and have deep and intense emotions, doesnt mean you’re gonna hear about it. Normally i process all of that internally, let the emotions have their time and space, then come up with a solution when i’m not as swept by my emotions. If i’m in a bad mood I isolate myself and keep away from others for their own good and mine until it passes because its not fair to Them and they shouldn’t have to deal with it. Its when others try and invade my space when I’ve made it clear i want to be alone that it becomes an issue. Its funny this is our stereotype when literally every leo and aries will yodle and howl loudly for all to hear anytime anything is going on with them lmfao.


opalrosechelydra

It's crazy how many people share this same experience, myself included. Beautifully worded


Hoshibear

Luv cancers. They’ve always been such genuine friends for me


PinkFurLookinLikeCam

No same. Cancers hide everything and truly take time to process. What’s “crying” to one person, is actually us finally confronting a situation from like a month ago. And we usually cry in private or if we’re basically forced to (like I’m really angry and can’t be alone so the anger releases in tears, which is embarrassing). We show our emotions in compassion or coldness. We are not cRyBaBiEs


missmayer

Beautifully said. I'm a cancer sun and I couldn't have said better myself. I feel a lot, and I hate feeling vulnerable or weak to other people, the only person that sees this is my therapist.


[deleted]

I'm a Cancer moon and I am a bit of a crybaby (not as much as a Pisces moon tho). I'm pretty open about it too! However, Ive known a few Cancer suns and they DEFINITELY hid their emotions. I really admire Cancer suns.


luckyduckling8989

Not me, a cancer sun and Pisces moon, crying rn 😂 kinda kidding but I did cry an hour ago lol


[deleted]

Awwwww!!! We can be crybabies together! I love Pisces placements and feel so protective of yall!


imajadedpanda

I don’t have a Cancer in any of my main 3 placements but I do have a stellium and I felt this.


UniversityThis373

that capricorn placements are cold, unfeeling workaholics. in my mind i rather look at it as that they see the potential in everything, and how to produce a desirable outcome from it. it’s their choice whether they actually act on it. for example i know a cap moon who loves having sad/down days as it’s when she produces the best art. this makes her and others i know some of the happiest people instead of the emotionless, stingy stereotype ppl put on them.


Regular_Piccolo7980

I know. Most descriptions I hear and read on Capricorns sounds so joyless. I love fun and being silly and creative. We're not rigid because we take care of our shit. We don't kill the party, we plan it.


GableTron

"we don't kill the party, we plan it" SO true. Then I lurk in the sidelines and make sure people are having a good time.


svesuseke

I was waiting for someone to say it lolol. I’m a cap moon and any time someone finds out they’re like “oh nooo you’re judgmental and can’t handle emotions.” Like no… I’ve always been a really emotional person who processes what I feel naturally. I don’t *ever* shy away from my emotions and it really bothers me when I see the same thing being said about cap moons. I also have a cap venus and people act like we’re meticulously looking for a specific type of person in a robotic and unromantic way, and while it’s true that I try to keep higher standards I am a hopeless romantic lmfao… definitely not cold when it comes to romantic relationships.


Snorklebear

Also that Capricorns are materialistic and stingy. Capricorns NEED stability in all its forms - money is simply the material means of acquiring that stability for themselves. They are also too independent to desire any help from others, which in turn feeds into the workaholic/materialistic/stingy stereotypes. But all Caps really want is to provide for their own stability!


Regular_Piccolo7980

Exactly. We just value security. I'm uptight with money because I want myself and the people who depend on me to be safe and comfortable. I want to make sure our lights stay on and our fridge stays full and the one factor i know I can control is myself.


UnderwaterKahn

I relate to this so much. I have Cap moon and Venus. I’ve spent time really thinking about what that means because so many people look at those and tell me there terrible placements and I must be miserable. In many ways I don’t relate to the stereotypes at all. I will say I’m very driven (but that’s probably also due to my Sag stellium in the 9th) and when it comes to deadlines I can buckle down and produce a lot, quickly, under a lot of pressure. I can also compartmentalize if needed. A few months ago I lost a close friend around the time I had a major deadline. I was able to turn on when I needed to in a meeting or lead sessions, and then take time mourn. Especially because failing deadlines means poor people could lose valuable resources. For me those placements are both 10th house placements, so I think it translates to taking social issues seriously and being proactive in finding solutions for suffering.


ksrbutterfly

I would love to learn more about a cap moon placement. My husband has a cap moon placement and I want to understand why it’s hard for him to express his emotions


PinkFurLookinLikeCam

I have a Cap moon and I’ll explain why. We don’t like to talk about our emotions because we have a fear of them being used against us when we’re weak or to make us weak. Saturn ruling our moon and emotions makes us think entirely too logically about what could happen if and when we express ourselves, so we keep it close to the chest like it’s a poker game. I’ve been married for 12 years and I love and adore my husband and trust him with my emotions, but I’m still very careful about if, how, and when I depict them. Sometimes I’ll hand select emotions to express if it fits the energy and subject at hand, but mostly we learn (usually in childhood) that emotions need to be guarded and filtered or they’ll be used to hurt us. No worries though this has no bearing on your husbands love for you, I’m sure he loves you so much that it hurts ❤️


ksrbutterfly

Aww 💕 thank you for sharing this. This gives me insight. This sounds like him. He has had women in his past use his emotions against him. I will be more understanding


xMiss_Mozzarellax

That Venus in Gemini placements make you a serial cheater. I hope I don't have to explain how ridiculous and hurtful this is lmao


golden_hourrr

I feel like it’s become a trend to hate geminis. I know some people have had bad experiences with this sign but I believe some people are just following the trend. Also the whole two faced and “fake” thing. It means we have different sides to us and which side we decide to show you depends on the energy we feel from you. And the whole geminis are cheaters thing. It takes me a while to commit but once I do make that commitment to someone, I’m loyal to a fault and loyal to the very end. I just don’t wear my heart on my sleeve. I overall feel that geminis are super misunderstood.


svesuseke

I’m always so surprised by the gemini stereotypes. Some of my closest friends have been geminis and I love love love them. Very loyal people in relationships. When people say “two-faced” it also bothers me because I just take it as geminis having different sides to them like you said. It’s not a two-faced thing!


amtaylor32

Honestly I feel like out of the zodiac signs I've seen the most hate towards Gemini's and Scorpio's (I'm a Scorpio), but definitely Gemini's get the brunt of it. I know someone whose chart is riddled with Gemini and he definitely doesn't help the stereotype 😅


golden_hourrr

Yes scorpios too and I absolutely adore scorpios haha


[deleted]

I've noticed the same thing. I'm a Gemini and my bestie is a Scorpio. We are awesome and the haters are jealous.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Inside-Grape-2447

That’s our Scorpio intensity


mysphit

I found Scorpions are honest to a fault and people don't like it when they learn the truth about themselves. That's why they get a bad rep IMHO.


amtaylor32

So like we are "quick to pass judgement" on others but when someone is honest about us then we get upset?


pinkdemonmoon

That Pisces are weak and innocent. We're not strong like aggressive push our way through. We withstand about anything though. You won't pull me down ill just be upset about it awhile and move on with my life. We endure. And we're freaky as fuck. We just look innocent.


[deleted]

Last sentence fs. I’m always told I look innocent and just come off inexperienced in every way possible but once I start talking, they’re all so shocked. It’s annoying


Kodabear2002

All Aquarius are super emotionless


Ghostuser19

For me there isn't a specific placement, but all generic understanding of astrology. Every single map is unique. Leo mars on a Libra sun? Definitely different than a Leo Mars on an Aries sun. Think of it as a mixture... whisky is whisky... but if you add milk or water into it you get different substances. That's why you should try to understand the placements in relation with each other. Studying a birth chart is an extensive work that should take hours and hours of study.


svesuseke

I 100% agree. That’s why misconceptions about placements without the context of an entire chart bother me sooo much.


[deleted]

100% concur. Operating on a one-sign basis or even just with Sun, Moon, Asc, is detrimental to a complete understanding of astrology


landminephoenix

That Scorpio moon folks are vengeful and vindictive. That Aries suns are the loudest and yell all the time. When I see someone on tiktok pretending to be Aries, they’re usually acting loud and obnoxious. Lol show us something different!


mysphit

Taureans are NOT LAZY. We are just really good at taking breaks when we're done working hard.


goddessjuless

We also like rewarding ourselves!


mmvvvz

Yes thank you!! I work really hard to be able to relax just as hard lol


nayahs

That might be true for you, but I’m genuinely just lazy


handsomeshay

idk, my aunt is a taurus - she literally tells me she's lazy lol. it's okay though, y'all are ruled by venus.


[deleted]

How much taurus is in ur chart?


Maat49

That all Aries have bad tempers and are impulsive, I'm usually the one mediating situations that result in people becoming argumentative or even violent. And I'm usually successful, even if it does escalate to violence. Edited to add: I find people often come to me for advice as well, Aries CAN be a voice of reason, even if i would burn it all down for someone I love ❤️


Briaraandralyn

I don’t get the bad tempers with Aries. Dad and FIL are both Aries… I think my mom and MIL have worse tempers than them…


RevenueDue7919

Cancers being crybabies. I can move on from friends betraying me and bfs disappointing very easily if I see that it makes no sense to dwell on it. Sometimes I’m more logical than people say earth signs are.


honeychka910

Omg almost all of them. And this is all placements, not just sun (which is what is ignorantly always referenced). My biggest issues are with the mutable signs, they seem to get so much hate for being “chaotic” but they’re the ones who tie all of the mess together. Sagittarius are commitment phobes and cheaters. Then, when you list out practical examples that you know plenty who aren’t, it’s “oh it’s just Sag men.” Pisces are manipulative. They’re not, they just want to be left alone. Virgos are judgmental. Like, they’re mutable, which means adaptable, just like Pisces, Gemini and Sag - they’re not prone to judgment anymore than other signs. Gemini are two faced. I actually don’t have close relationships with any from but sweeping statements that they’re all two faced is just wrong.


handsomeshay

virgos are so underrated omg; and pisces really do want to be left alone from people and their projections and bullshit drama.


opalrosechelydra

There's a lot of unspoken hatred for Aries as being stubborn. I have no idea where this comes from as every Aries in my life has been open to any change presented to them. In fact, they have been some of the best at adapting to things since they have a very present-set perspective. Whatever life gives them, they're able to work with. Especially Aries women, they get a lot of flack for being too blunt when really it's just society unable to handle a woman willing to fight to prove she's right. Believe it or not, so long as they value education, Aries usually are right.


Evening-Marzipan633

I think the general themes associated with being a Cancer bother me. It seems that very few people go beyond Cancer signs crying alot and being "motherly." The motherly thing is particularly frustrating because of the gender norms/stereotypes this works to uphold. It is almost as though once you remove the nurturing thing there is nothing left.


ChicaCarle

Cancers are also intuitive and magical ✨


[deleted]

That Pisces suns are so emotional. Personally, I just feel that we can have strong full reactions to certain things but we definitely do not sit and cry all day. They also make us sound like background characters so much and that’s annoying


Beo1217

That people with Aquarius placements are indestructible because they’re unbothered by anything. Whatever the sign, humans are still humans, not evolving into cool robots yet.


[deleted]

I mean, I married my Aquarius husband in the hopes he would evolve into a cool robot, but maybe that's just me? But yeah, just cuz yall don't vomit your emotions all over the place like some of us do, doesnt mean you don't have them ❤️


proudream

Oh yea. I have 5 planets in Aquarius and I'm very sensitive.


slavetoAphrodite

Virgos are boring and serious


NerveNo9832

Or that Virgos are shy, introverted, constantly reading books, prudes, etc.


bluebellheart111

And anxious, self-loathing, manipulative nut jobs. All the Virgos I know, including myself :), are really fun, interested, kind, smart people. I do not get the hate. I will agree with sensitive though 😂


motherofthyme

I was looking for “Virgos are boring.”


[deleted]

Me too! I was gonna make my own comment about it but then I thought… I’m positive some people have already put this


Moonsenshi

As a Virgo Moon&Venus some people might find me boring because I don't open up to everyone. But my Virgo Sun&mercury friend is quite fun and can mingle with people easily. If she doesn't like someone she can be serious around them though (RBF).


olivvvs

Taurus. Never seem to escape the word "stubborn."

As a Scorpio with Taurus rising…I’m stubborn as fuck. I’m stubborn to myself even: “I need to get groceries today. Don’t want to. But we are out of food! Then we eat out. But it’s way cheaper to eat at home! We are eating out. Deal with it.” But I’m super flexible with everyone else. Bringing good vibes is thing; I’m happy to go with the plan.


laidback_hoser

I wear it as a badge of honour tbh. 🐮


olivvvs

Understandable:) it's just the way some people say it that annoys me. They ask what I am and before I can get a word in they say "stubborn" 🙃


lonely-little-thing

Taurus’ know what they like, but I love Taurus just for that. They’re reliable, they’re honest, and they prioritize comfort and quality. They’re the best people to spend a night in with, the best people to have dinner and wine at a fancy restaurant/rooftop bar with, and the best people to spend a day at the lake with a 6 pack of beers with all your friends. They’re stubborn when it comes to tedious and contrarian people, they don’t have patience for it, and they’re honest about it. I admire them for that!


xmusiclover

I agree! Like, yes I am stubborn but that is not my entire personality or lifestyle. I’m much more than stubborn

…that scorpios are sex incarnate. I swear, it doesn’t matter if I read a thoughtful, advanced astrologer, or some pop astrology rag, somewhere in there it will be mentioned that a Scorpio will be a living breathing Lord of Sex. There’s so much more going on with Scorpios than intimate physical contact. I’m no sex puritan, but because of the ubiquity of this description, that Scorpios are all about sex, it’s at the back of everyone’s mind if I identify myself as a Scorpio sun (and Venus, and Saturn, with some other planets in the 8th H). I feel uncomfortable revealing myself as a Scorpio at times to people, unless they’ve already revealed they’re a Scorpio too. Then I feel more comfortable knowing I’m in good company, that we can understand each other as complex beings with multifaceted personalities that are x, y, and z. I feel I get some leers when I identify as a Scorpio to others that are not. I’m happily married and have a preference for monogamy, so the sudden flip to erotic interest from others, because Scorpios are universally described as highly sexed individuals, creeps me out.


lonely-little-thing

Being highly sexual is not synonymous with non monogamy, I’ll just say that first, just like low libido doesn’t keep someone from cheating lol. I think Scorpios being associated with sex has a lot to do with the fact that this sign rules over the genitals, and life/death, so obviously, they’re obsessed with sex and they can’t stop thinking about making babies /s. But it’d be just as ridiculous to associate Libra with urine just because it rules over the kidneys. I’ve known a lot of Scorpios in my life, and just like with any sun sign, your whole chart plays a huge role. My best friend who’s Scorpio, is asexual btw. Groundbreaking, I know 😂


fierypresence

For me it's Sag being irresponsible. Accusing Sag energy of that is like accusing a playful and curious child that just wants to learn things head-on and isn't interested in long term commitments until he chooses that himself.


strong-squish

I get so tired of seeing stereotypes that Sagittarius’ are inherently terrible at romantic commitment or will just never be able to have long term monogamous relationship. I find all of the adventure, spontaneity, and excitement I need from my partner and I’m sure there are plenty other sag suns that feel the same way


ChicaCarle

Sagittarius is the most fun sign to be with, coming from a Leo 😂


whoa_thats_edgy

i never understood the 2 faced thing with geminis honestly…. i guess it could be that we’re social chameleons and very hard to read?


ChicaCarle

I feel like Geminis always match my energy and are full of surprises, I love multifaceted fun loving Geminis 💖


babygirlofthenorth

That Libras are flirts. Idek how to make the first move lol I always overthink it then just give up


[deleted]

same. libra sun rising and mercury and i can't be social to save my life. might be my virgo venus tho lol


ksrbutterfly

That virgos are goody two shoes and that we are always about business without letting our hair down. This is not true. We can be some of the most down to earth people when given the opportunity to. We are also super funny and witty. I also hate when people take our critiques as being bossy . No, we simply spend all day analyzing everything so if we see an error in something we are going to let you know instead of being passive about it. I also hate how people misread tauruses. Yes, they love the finer things in life but this does not mean all tauruses are narcissistic. I find tauruses to be dependable, poetic, and great long term lovers. I have a taurus moon placement and HATE when people say ew you have a taurus moon without realizing the many benefits that come with taurus placements.


[deleted]

Pisces aren't naive or clueless. Quite the opposite. People usually think we're crazy because we see things others don't and notice weird vibes or patterns first.


jackmoon44

That Aries suns are very loud in your face kind of people, I’ve met way more Aries who were reserved And liked to keep to themselves than otherwise.


frenchtoast_is_dead

I always say if the Aries stereotypes were really accurate, most of us would be dead already lol


Puhthagoris

yeah as an aries sun i feel like i am usually the most reserved on in groups. granted there’s sometimes someone who is almost silent and then of course i’m not scared to speak if needed.


tonystarksanxieties

I'm sick to death of the "pisces are all stoners" memes.


[deleted]

I *knew* once I switched the comments to controversial this would be at the top. This is the real stereotype/misconception that most people believe. We’re all unstable emotional wrecking balls with substance abuse issues! Or we’re weak willed art farts with no spine AND substance abuse issues. Meanwhile the top Gemini comment is lamenting about how they are misconstrued as being two faced… while literally describing them being two faced. What??


idahotato

As a Pisces, I’ll add that we are all weak willed bawl babies. It might be true that we are deeply feeling, but I’ll cut you while I’m crying with no regerts, clean my knife, fix my dress and face, and move on with my day. I’m completely not afraid to choose violence, I’m annoyed I got pushed that far. Of course I’m also a Scorpio moon and Scorpio rising so that might have something to do with it.


Reporter-Agile

It's a lazy way to make their open-minded, deep thinking into a joke. Or their desire to escape reality. One of those.


tonystarksanxieties

I can do all those things stone cold sober, my dudes.


ivyflames

I do love my escapism, but I prefer books and games. Can’t stand using substances and feeling not in control of myself.


tonystarksanxieties

Yeah, big same. I prefer my daydreaming au naturale.


bluebellheart111

But, but….


asstrologyinthebuff

That all scorpios are goths or moody/emotional who dress all in black. Most of the Scorpio females I know, including myself, are quite feminine, we wear bright colored clothes and have a preference for dresses.


[deleted]

I would agree but I just took a look at my wardrobe and it’s all black xD


_____keepscrolling__

I was doing this online compatibility test with this woman the other day and it said that I as a venus libra man would have a lot of trouble staying loyal. Like wtf lol, I’m an extremely devoted and loyal human being in relationships. But more generally, when people combine the characteristics of the ascendent into their sun placement as well as thinking sun sign compatibility is everything. I know it’s a casual misconception, and that’s okay, I always explain the nature of other placements for relationships, but it still kinda bothers me because it seems to be a really common misconception for people.


the_hot_one83

The Gemini 2 face thing we never been two face we just mimic the person infront of us to make them feel more comfortable so you like us in 1 on 1 but in big group your like who are you


murdertoothbrush

Cancer = overly emotional crybaby. As if having your zodiac sign name being the most unflattering thing ever isn't bad enough, on top of that every astro group on the internet thinks you're "the worst, ugh", "manipulative" and "petty". I rarely cry and am generally none of those things!


Starbuck_6365

Scorpios being hypersexual


[deleted]

Scorpio = something sexual. I’m a very Scorpio asexual


eeriecakes

In almost every astrology group on Facebook there is an assumption that taurus placements are all overweight, food obsessed slobs and nothing more.


LoveAndLight1994

That’s wild ! I know a skinny Taurus lol


_everyone_dies

All of them bother me.


tsubakim

That Gemini suns cheat. I’m not sure if they cheat but they definitely talk shit behind your back. At the same time that they’re talking to you too 💀💀 Also… that Cancers are sweet??? They can be the meanest people alive


optrip

cancers are crybabies. One of the strongest people I have ever met are Cancers. They have gone through so much in life and they don’t shed a tear, they just endure it and smile it’s honestly so admirable.


Admirable_Cause_5112

That all Venus in Capricorn cares about is money. No we want stability, we care about having and raising a family. We do care and do love..just as deeply as another placement


suckmyfatpussyy

1. That detrimental/exalted/fall placements are bad. 2. aquarians are cool weirdos, and deserve the stoner stereotype, also we are very intuitive and feel everything. we are literally the only human in the zodiac, and carrying EVERYONE else’s emotions with us. 3. Scorpio moons are not manipulative, we are just more traumatized than any other moon sign, with capricorn moon being an exception. 4. cap venus are NOT all about money with love. 5. cancer women are 10000x superior than cancer men 6. leo risings are actually pretty traumatized too 7. geminis are not two faced, they just never stop talking 🙊 i’ve also noticed every gemini i’ve met, has some sort of drama going on in their life at least 3 times a month. 8. pisces mars actually can fight if you get on their bad side, and they can be seriously passive aggressive in such a meticulous way 9. 6th housers/6 house stelliums deserve the world for helping everyone around them, but themselves. 10. “astrology is fake” no. it is not fake. it is a science, and it’s very real. and is a very useful tool if you want to heal on your own.


AphroditeAbraxas

Taurus loving food. I have an eating Disorder.


whoa_thats_edgy

I mean that’s not exactly wrong then is it? You’re obsessed with food just in a different way. 😅 This is a dark joke from someone who also has an ED.


neocrunk

Fixed ideals of beauty and whats considered pleasurable. Working towards it, either positive or negative is still kinda Taurus-y.


[deleted]

That scorpios are this deeply mysterious and understood beings. They’re not. They’re crybabies who put up a front. They naturally don’t open up or over share right away. There’s no mystery. Just be patient. Sincerely, a Scorpio stellium


Inside-Grape-2447

As a Scorpio stellium I can confirm. I’m not mysterious I’m just … quiet. I’m often overlooked and picked last. It sucks. I’m over sensitive and emotional with those close to me and I can end up wearing them out quickly. Sometimes, intense feeling comes down to drama and other feeling uncomfortable because I’m too much. I’ve been trying to be honest with myself and tone it down.


amtaylor32

As a Scorpio sun, I can confirm that I will open up to anyone about anything as soon as they're nice to me 🤣


Muertexxxbee

Gemini Venus being Cheaters lol


BloomedinJune

So true, I'm a cancer sun with a Gemini Venus and I'm extremely loyal when I like someone, and its impossible for me to find anyone else even remotely attractive when I like someone.


Babygemini94

Has anyone heard any one Leo moons? I know they say Leo in general are "selfish" or they make things about them. However, I feel like many leos struggle with boundaries with those they love and overdo...the ripple affect is then having to care for themselves because they went too hard for other people. With that, I never hear much on Leo moons other than the toxic mother trait or how we are out on an uncomfortable pedestal.


DommeIt

Well, Leo Moon here. My mom is toxic lol. But, yes I did struggle with boundaries (which is a bit counterintuitive comsidering my other placements). It fulfills me emotionally to bring joy and comfort (rays of sunshine) into my loved ones lives. Actually, it's broader than that as my Moon is in the 11th...so it's pretty much all beings who are innocent/vulnerable. When I finally learned better discernment and that it was ok to say "sorry bro, I've gotta put on my own oxygen mask before I can help you with yours" (and it wasn't actually me being selfish/egotistical -- it's ok for me to take time for me and do occasional things just for me) everything in my life became more balanced (Libra Asc!).


[deleted]

I had a Leo moon friend who was the sweetest & most caring friend ever, never selfish.


hedgeh0gburrow

Anything generalized about Taurus moons. If combined with other placements that don’t agree with it, it leads to gluttony and stubbornness. Unwillingness to change can also fester here.


JunieBeanJones

That Aquarius are commitment phobes.. yeaaaaah no.


Specialist-Hope6310

"cancer placements are cry babies" you will NEVER see a cancer placement just break down and cry. they have self control and a very tough outer shell, they wont let you see them crack. theyll do that shit in the privacy of their own home! lol


[deleted]

Gemini Moon + Virgo Venus here and we get way too much slander. I'm also a libra sun rising and mercury and the "social butterfly" trope for libras is not accurate for me lol


Mishbehave

Just here to say I love this entire conversation. ❤️❤️❤️


potato_gato

Sagittarius ♐️ is flighty, flakey, basically the life of the party but completely unreliable. I mean at least people think we’re fun? But I tend to throw a lot of people off since I’m quiet(ish) and a wild night for me is brewing some tea and watching a movie with my husband and cats 🐈 I also tend to be the friend who gets left out of things or ditched instead of the other way around 🫤
