because I am NERDY
15 Jul
In high school, I always used to do those astrology.com quizzes–you know, the ones that tell you everything there is to know about yourself. The other day, someone said online that they ran a birth chart on their child. I was all OMG, INTERNET! BIRTH CHARTS! SCORE! So I got Jasper’s, and holy moly–if these things have any credence at all, this kid is going to be a trip. I also did mine, and I think it is in-ter-es-ting, and even though you probably don’t, there’s a link right below this sentence so you can do your own chart and bold the parts that you think are most accurate. OH HEY and totally leave it in a comment here, if you want, because I love reading my own charts AND other people’s. Especially if I know you.
If no one does this, I’ll be bummed.
Moon is in 23 Degrees Cancer.
For the most part, you are very strong and secure emotionally. You intuitively know what to do to make others feel comfortable, loved, accepted and needed. You naturally enjoy feeding and taking care of others. Be careful that your mothering does not turn into smothering. At times, you tend to feel that those to whom you are attached can never do anything without your assistance and support. Extremely sensitive by nature, it hurts you deeply whenever anyone criticizes you. You have an almost desperate need to be loved and wanted and needed by everyone with whom you come into contact, and you go out of your way to be accommodating to them.
Mercury is in 24 Degrees Sagittarius.
Your mind is very curious and inquisitive, always seeking information on a wide variety of topics. The broader the subject matter (philosophy, science, religion, metaphysics), the more it will appeal to you. You prefer to deal with abstractions — the small but important details associated with any subject tend to slip your grasp. You are known for being blunt, honest and truthful.
Venus is in 03 Degrees Pisces.
You have a dreamy, fanciful, romantic nature and a very creative imagination. Indeed, at times, your private fantasies are more appealing than the reality around you and it is difficult for you to leave them. You tend to be unselfish and giving in relationships and are extremely sensitive of the needs of others. Be very sure that those you help are worthy of your devotion and are not merely taking advantage of your innocence and naivete.
Mars is in 10 Degrees Pisces.
Very sensitive and vulnerable, it is difficult for you to assert yourself. At times, you feel quite tired and you will require a lot of sleep in order to maintain your health and your strength. You are at your best when you act without your ego being important. You can be very unselfish and considerate of the needs of others. You get the most satisfaction by giving to others when you expect nothing in return. Beware of a tendency to want always to work behind the scenes or to become overly deceptive by doing things behind others’ backs.
Jupiter is in 22 Degrees Capricorn.
You tend to feel that the only results that are worthwhile are the results that are concrete and demonstrable. You distrust abstract solutions and appreciate measurable achievements. An excellent organizer and planner, you are optimistic as well as practical and realistic about what can and what cannot happen. Very responsible, you consider it a personal weakness to be wrong about anything. This makes you appropriately cautious. You are very efficient but you tend to be cool and detached.
Saturn is in 25 Degrees Scorpio.
You tend to release emotional energies only very reluctantly. This is partly due to your fear of what horrible calamity might occur should they be released — your emotions are terribly complicated and intense. Try not to repress these energies entirely, however, or you will succumb to negative and destructive forms of compulsive behavior. Give yourself the freedom to look awkward or silly once in a while. The relief you feel will be quite therapeutic and the embarrassment (whether it is real or imagined) will pass quickly.
Uranus is in 15 Degrees Sagittarius.
You, and most of your peers, have the tendency to think that all ideas, customs and traditions from the past are outmoded and irrelevant. You are attracted to radically new ideas, philosophies and religions that will, hopefully, cause sweeping changes throughout the world.
Neptune is in 01 Degrees Capricorn.
You, and your entire generation, will idealize work, practicality and the ability to attain reasonable goals. But, because you will also stress the need to be selfless and giving, you may find it difficult to attain your goals unless you have lowered your expectations on all fronts.
Pluto is in 04 Degrees Scorpio.
For your entire generation, this is a period of intense research and discovery in areas that were heretofore considered mysterious, remote or taboo. The root causes for many complex occurrences will be unearthed due to the intensity and thoroughness of the search.
N. Node is in 26 Degrees Taurus.
It’s not in your nature to seek out many casual acquaintances in your daily round of activities. You feel much more comfortable with a small, close-knit group of people — those with whom you can relax and work toward known and clearly defined goals. Your loyalty to a person or group, once given, is forever — you’ll expend all of your quite considerable energy in seeing that the group stays together and prospers. You choose your partners and relationships so carefully that you’re bound to gain certain advantages from them, including those of a material nature. Be careful though not to let mere self-service be your motivation in establishing your connections — make sure that there’s an even give-and-take!
AHH! I’m nerdy too! I was so excited to see this! I did it
. I also looked up my fiance’s and daughters! The comment-er is not letting me highlight what is mostly me so I copied sections that were most discriptive.
Rising Sign is in 11 Degrees Sagittarius
You are known for being open, frank, outgoing and honest. At times, though, you are also blunt and quite indiscreet. Others have to learn not to take everything you say personally, because you usually do not mean any harm. You appreciate living your life in a straightforward and simple manner — you dislike social niceties and consider them to be hindrances to real communication. You have lots and lots of energy and tend to become quite restless if you feel confined. You demand the freedom to do as you choose — you must be self- directed or you feel trapped and anxious. With your abundant energy, you enjoy being outdoors, and you should be attracted to physical exercise or to those forms of sport which can help you burn off some of that excess energy.
Sun is in 24 Degrees Capricorn.
Extremely serious and mature, you are capable of accepting responsibilities and do so willingly. Others expect you to be dutiful as a matter of course. You tend to get angry when people get rewards after not having worked anywhere near as hard as you. You are goal-oriented and an achiever by nature — you’re a hard worker and are justifiably proud of the tangible results of your efforts. You tend to have “tunnel-vision” — this allows you to block out extraneous matters that might distract others and to concentrate totally on the matter at hand. As such, you are the ideal one to manage or administrate any ongoing project and to be practical and efficient at it
Moon is in 15 Degrees Pisces.
You have strong feelings and are extremely sensitive. It would help if you had a thicker skin — you tend to react emotionally to every situation you come across. Kind, gentle and considerate of the feelings of others, you are good at taking care of the sick, wounded and helpless. But you tend to absorb the energy of others — so avoid those who are always negative. You have a rich, creative and lively imagination
Mars is in 18 Degrees Scorpio.
Your likes and dislikes are strong and intense, never casual or superficial. You are known for your persistence and willful obsession. Once you have decided on a course of action, you are unstoppable. Your emotional actions tend to be extreme, although you try to keep them muted. You are not quick to anger, you do slow burns. And you tend to release your anger as sarcasm or irony.
Jupiter is in 21 Degrees Aquarius.
Your personal growth occurs when you have the freedom to do things in new and interesting ways — this brings out your natural inventiveness. You are an individualist, but you are also attracted to mass movements that emphasize social betterment and you will devote much time and energy to their efforts. Very fair- minded and objective, you have extraordinary skills at organization and administration.
Uranus is in 20 Degrees Sagittarius.
You, and most of your peers, have the tendency to think that all ideas, customs and traditions from the past are outmoded and irrelevant. You are attracted to radically new ideas, philosophies and religions that will, hopefully, cause sweeping changes throughout the world.
N. Node is in 05 Degrees Taurus.
It’s not in your nature to seek out many casual acquaintances in your daily round of activities. You feel much more comfortable with a small, close-knit group of people — those with whom you can relax and work toward known and clearly defined goals. Your loyalty to a person or group, once given, is forever — you’ll expend all of your quite considerable energy in seeing that the group stays together and prospers.
THANK YOUUUUU this is so cool! I love this part:
“Your personal growth occurs when you have the freedom to do things in new and interesting ways — this brings out your natural inventiveness. You are an individualist, but you are also attracted to mass movements that emphasize social betterment and you will devote much time and energy to their efforts. Very fair- minded and objective, you have extraordinary skills at organization and administration.”
I’m only doing this because I don’t want you to be sad
I will post the whole thing but since apparently you can’t bold things here I will put the “accurate” parts in all caps – the rest is really inaccurate or only half true, or not really true of me most of the time.
Rising Sign is in 06 Degrees Virgo
YOU TEND TO BE VERY SHY and not very self-assertive. YOU ARE SUPER CRITICAL ABOUT HOW YOU APPEAR TO OTHERS. EVEN THOUGH YOU MAY THINK YOU ARE UNINTERESTING AND DULL, YOU ARE ACTUALLY QUITE SOFT SPOKEN, ORDERLY, NEAT AND VERY LIKEABLE. You are a perfectionist with high standards, and at times you can be quite tactless in pointing out the faults of others. Very practical, efficient and purposeful your appearance and bearing reflect your need to appear graceful, sensible and reserved. You have a crisp, no-nonsense approach to dealing with others. Never lazy or self-indulgent, YOU TEND TO BE DEDICATED TO THE WORK ETHIC.
Sun is in 16 Degrees Gemini.
YOU HAVE A QUICK, BRIGHT & AGILE MIND, but an extremely short attention span. YOU LOVE THE EXTERNAL, KALEIDOSCOPE ASPECTS OF LIFE, but you tend to avoid (and even fear) deep, close emotional involvements. As such, you seem to enjoy travel and sightseeing and generally being “on-the-go.” You get quite listless when things around you become static and dull, but your excitement returns whenever you are stimulated by a new idea. CHATTY, INQUISITIVE & QUITE PLAYFUL YOU ENJOY PRACTICAL JOKES AND GAMES IN GENERAL Your moods change quickly and often — you are very restless and constantly in motion. You are known for your versatility and adaptability. YOUR VIVACIOUSNESS ENLIVENS ANY SOCIAL GATHERING.
Moon is in 28 Degrees Sagittarius.
AN IDEALIST, YOU PREFER THE GRAND, THE BEAUTIFUL THE GOOD AND THE NOBLE. You get very disappointed when your high expectations in life are not met. VERY CURIOUS BY NATURE, YOU ENJOY TRAVELING AND LEARNING ABOUT OTHER PEOPLES AND CULTURES. Try to avoid your tendency to ignore the small but important details of living. YOU ARE INDEPENDENT AND FREE AND YOU WANT OTHERS TO BE THAT WAY TOO. OPTIMISTIC, BUOYANT AND CHEERFUL, OTHERS LIKE TO HAVE YOU AROUND. You have an incessant desire to learn as much as possible about metaphysics, religion, philosophy and any other broad, deep subject. Your life tends to be punctuated by bursts of energy and frenetic activity.
Mercury is in 07 Degrees Gemini.
YOUR MIND IS ACTIVE, QUICK & AGILE. You are very restless and you get bored easily. Unless you receive constant mental stimulation, you become extremely nervous and begin to act in an unstable manner. You are probably a good student because of your natural inquisitiveness. You also love to travel. Your learning tends to be superficial, though, because you have a relatively short attention span. Try to develop the mental discipline to finish what you start. Also, you tend to talk on at times seemingly just to fill space — make sure that your conversation has some substance to it or others will start avoiding you.
Venus is in 09 Degrees Taurus.
YOU ARE KNOWN TO BE A WARM AND AFFECTIONATE PERSON, AND YOU TEND TO FORM LONG LASTING ATTACHMENTS. The reverse of this is that you can also be quite possessive once you have made a commitment. The beauty, luxury and comfort of your surroundings are important to you and you will devote much time and energy to making your home just right. BEWARE OF YOUR TENDENCY TOWARD SELF INDULGENCE, ESPECIALLY WITH RESPECT TO EATING INCORRECTLY. You also need outside stimuli to get you in gear. When things come too easily for you, you can be lazy and indolent.
Mars is in 04 Degrees Libra.
YOU ARE VERY AWARE OF THE NEED TO COOPERATE WITH OTHERS IN ORDER TO FURTHER ANY EFFORT. YOU ARE USUALLY WILLING TO COMPROMISE WITH OTHERS, ALTHOUGH YOU CAN BE QUITE COMPETITIVE IN A FRIENDLY WAY. VERY FAIR MINDED AND IMPARTIAL, YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO SENSE INJUSTICE AND THE DESIRE TO TAKE CORRECTIVE ACTIONS TO MAKE PROPER COMPENSATIONS. YOU SEE BOTH SIDES OF ISSUES AND QUESTIONS, BUT YOU TEND TO BE UNDECIDED OR WAVERING WHEN FORCED TO MAKE CHOICES THAT MIGHT MAKE YOU VULNERABLE OR UNPOPULAR.
Jupiter is in 01 Degrees Scorpio.
YOU LOVE TO DIG DEEP BENEATH SURFACE APPEARANCES TO FIND OUT WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENING. A PERSISTENT RESEARCHER, YOU ARE VERY INTERESTED IN THE PSYCHOLOGY OF ANY SITUATION. You tend to become overwhelmed by the complexity of what you uncover, however, and that makes you a bit gun-shy about explaining things to others. But you must learn to try to communicate as best you can because what you know is really very valuable to others.
Saturn is in 15 Degrees Libra.
ALTHOUGH YOU TAKE QUITE A WHILE TO MAKE DECISIONS, YOU USUALLY CONSIDER ALL SIDES TO A QUESTION, ALL THE PROS AND CONS, AND THE SOLUTION YOU COME UP WITH IS VERY OFTEN THE CORRECT ONE (this is funny because who’s to say what is right/wrong/correct/etc?). YOU TEND TO BE VERY RESERVED AND SHY BUT ONCE YOU MAKE A COMMITMENT TO SOMEONE (in either a business or personal relationship), THE PARTNERSHIP IS FOREVER. YOU HAVE A STRONG SENSE OF JUSTICE AND FAIR PLAY and greatly respect the laws and institutions by which you are governed. As such, you are outraged when others break laws or show contempt for authority.
Uranus is in 02 Degrees Sagittarius.
You, and most of your peers, have the tendency to think that all ideas, customs and traditions from the past are outmoded and irrelevant. YOU ARE ATTRACTED TO RADICALLY NEW IDEAS, PHILOSOPHIES, and religions, THAT WILL, HOPEFULLY, CAUSE SWEEPING CHANGES THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.
Neptune is in 25 Degrees Sagittarius. I CONSIDER THIS ALL TO BE TRUE, OR AT LEAST IT IS BECOMING MORE TRUE, THOUGH IT’S TALKING ABOUT MY GENERATION AND NOT JUST ME:
You, and your entire generation, are heavily involved in investigating and idealizing foreign and exotic intellectual systems and religious philosophies. The most extreme ideals will be pursued with gusto. You will be at the forefront of humanitarian attempts to improve the lot of those who are in need of assistance. You will be comfortable with the concept of the “global village.”
Pluto is in 24 Degrees Libra. ANOTHER ONE NOT JUST ABOUT ME. I AM NOT SURE I THINK THIS IS TRUE (YET), BUT IT IS AN INTERESTING IDEA. I WOULD LIKE TO BELIEVE IT IS TRUE OR AT LEAST COULD BE TRUE.
For your entire generation, this is a time of radical changes in society’s attitude toward marriage and interpersonal relationships. There is a general fear and awe at the power inherent in making emotional or contractual commitments — they will not be entered into lightly.
N. Node is in 13 Degrees Cancer.
. YOU FORM THE CLOSEST TIES, HOWEVER, WITH MEMBERS OF YOUR IMMEDIATE FAMILY especially your parents and children. YOU’RE AT YOUR BEST ATTENDING or organizing FAMILY REUNIONS!
YOU GENUINELY ENJOY MEETING OTHER PEOPLE, but you’re at your best if you can do so from the comfort of your own home. You prefer others to come to you and tend to feel uncomfortable about leaving your home or neighborhood for any extended period of time. Those who do come in contact with you are struck by your caring and obliging nature — you really make them feel at home (I WANT THIS TO BE TRUE OF ME AND I THINK THAT IT IS BUT I DON’T TRUST MYSELF TO KNOW IT FOR SURE-I KNOW MY CLOSEST FRIENDS WOULD SAY IT IS TRUE BUT I THINK THEY ARE JUST BIASED
YAY BIG GIGANTIC SMILES!
ANDoooh “YOU LOVE THE EXTERNAL, KALEIDOSCOPE ASPECTS OF LIFE”
I love the way that is phrased!
I am a HUGE astrology nerd. I actually know wayyyyyyy more about it than the average person, and the more I know about it the more I am convinced there is merit. It seems silly to me, especially knowing what an effect the moon’s gravitational pull has on the earth and on people, to assume that the planets/universe/whatever has NO INFLUENCE on who we are as people. Its not like I believe who we are is DETERMINED by astrology; but we are not blank slates when we are born. I feel this very strongly.
The reason for my strong opinions will become clear shortly after I post my chart, LOL.

Rising Sign is in 18 Degrees Aries
You are a free spirit and you must be first at everything you do. Very energetic, self-assertive and active, things must be done your way. Even though you may feel calm and serene on the inside, you certainly do not act that way. You want to do everything full-tilt, 100 miles per hour! A great competitor, but a poor cooperator — you must learn how to lose more gracefully. Very self-confident, ambitious and passionate, you radiate positive energy. You are blunt and direct, but at times unfeeling and tactless, especially if anyone offers you any resistance. You fight for your beliefs, but your tendency to act first and think later often causes you much grief.

Moon is in 28 Degrees Aries.
High-spirited and courageous, you are a fighter when your emotions are aroused. The degree of force and drive that you can bring to any effort sometimes surprises others. You have hair-trigger reactions to specific stimuli and tend to “let it all hang out.” You sometimes act before you think and do things on the spur of the moment, and that sometimes gets you into trouble. Your moods change quickly — you have quite a temper, but you don’t hold grudges. Very independent, with an extremely strong and forceful personality, you are known for being impulsive, careless, reckless, foolhardy, rash and daring.

Although you take quite a while to make decisions, you usually consider all sides to a question, all the pros and cons, and the solution you come up with is very often the correct one.
