In my ever-evolving quest to understand myself, I've learned a lot of things that may offer explanations into my enigmatic personality. Be it metaphysical, conventional, spiritual, philosophical, astrological or psychological, there is no realm I would NOT explore if it could possibly offer some insight into my quirky mindset.
I sometimes lean toward astrological insight because those answers seem to be more "tangibly" here & now, for ME personally. 😉 Throughout my research, there are things I've discovered (and rediscovered) about myself that are true, reassuring and even a little disturbing at times. But then again, I'm a pretty complex chick, so complex responses shouldn't be much of a surprise. 
Anyway, for this latest exercise in understanding my unique inter-workings, I've decided to go the astrological route to seek answers. The planet placement in my chart (astrology jargon), reveal not only enlightening answers about myself, but how others may see me. 🤔 The vastly edited details of my chart indicate that I'm a Cancer Sun, Libra Moon, Gemini Venus, Mars in Aquarius & Scorpio Rising. (Talk about a mixed bag of "Huh?!" 
) Getting Started (Understanding The Features)
Cancer Sun, Libra Moon [The Sun represents our conscious mind. The Moon represents our deepest personal needs, basic habits, reactions and our unconscious.] The combination Cancer Sun and Libra Moon creates a curious blending of independence and dependence, an entwined network of contradictions. The Cancer side wants to withdraw and become emotional; the Libra reaches and can remain detached and analytical. There is a constant pull between sheer objectivity and intense emotionalism. (Confusingly true.) This combination wants, and in fact needs, companionship. Nonetheless, it's hard for them to give much of themselves, being sensitive and a trifle introverted. (Perhaps true.) They seem to absorb other people with a charm that makes them readily respond to anyone. (Charismatically true.) Socially, they are winners, but more so in large gatherings than in twosomes or small groups. In many ways, they are romantics. However, there is a strong self-protective mechanism between them and others. They seem to keep everyone at arm’s length with a certain suspicion and analytical cleverness. (Questionably true.) They have an innate ability to see all the strengths and flaws in those around them, and unless they find few or no weaknesses in a person, it will be very difficult for anyone to penetrate their barrier and get very close to them. (Impenetrably true.)
Venus in Gemini, Mars in Aquarius [The Venus-Mars combination reveal a lot about a person's romantic style. (I should probably leave this one out...oh, WTH…)] In love, they are youthful, intelligent, spirited, mostly cool-headed and are drawn to partners with these same qualities. They need a certain amount of space-freedom of movement, both physically and mentally in any relationship. Restrictive or possessive partners turn them off. (Suffocatingly true.) Their mind needs to be stimulated in order for their passions to engage. They are really quite rational when it comes to expressing themselves emotionally. They offer their partners a certain level of freedom to be who they are, and they appreciate the same in return. (Reciprocatingly true.) They consider communication to be a key "ingredient" in relationships. (Unquestionably true.) They respond most lovingly to verbal expressions of interest and affection. They are turned off by partners (or potential partners) who are uncommunicative. As long as there is what they consider to be an open and flowing communication between themselves and their partner, they feel loved and appreciated. (Unmistakably true!) There is a transient quality to them that keeps others guessing, and perhaps not always trusting that they will stick around. (Possibly true.)
Scorpio Rising [The Rising sign (or Ascendant) refers to an individual's natural reaction to new people/ situations and how others view them.] Scorpio Ascendant people have a lot of presence. (Absolutely True.) There is something about them that tells the world that they are not to be pushed around. Their manner commands respect, and in some cases, fear. In fact, some of them are confused when faced with the fact that they get such strong reactions from others. (Sadly, true.) Scorpio rising natives have a piercing stare. They seem to look right through people, seeing through superficiality. This can be quite intimidating to some, and intriguing to others. The Scorpio rising female is a mystery, to herself and to others. (Undeniably true.) Passion is something a relationship with a Scorpio rising will never lack--be it as a screaming match or an all night party for two. The Scorpio rising aspect can give way to a short temper, so when they are pissed off, people know it because their words hurt. (Razor-tonguely true.) They will use anything that they know or think of the person they are mad at, to hurt them. This all happens so fast because it's their Scorpio temper talking, and although they mean it in terms of how mad they are; they don't mean it. They sometimes feel sorry after they've reviewed all the things that they have said and eventually apologize but not for their feelings. (Unapologetically true.)
Troubleshooting
I realize this kind of "information" isn't for everyone and I completely understand and respect that. I just don't care much. 😒 Frankly, I feel the fewer people that believe this stuff, the more of an advantage I believe myself to have. I mean really, who couldn't use an advantage every now and then?
Besides, I've always been a strong proponent of gathering all the information you can, from every conceivable source, edit out what doesn't apply and draw your own conclusions. 
There's a grain of truth in almost everything, you just have to decide what your truth is. 😌 All that I've shared with you here is a teeny-tiny bit of MY truth, a mere blip on the screen of my life. 🤏🏾 And for the record, I'm not boastfully touting that anyone should/ would necessarily care about my truth, my beliefs or how I personally "tick" 🧠 but this literary purging of personal astrological insight helps ME to understand MYSELF better. Let's face it, a chick like me can use all the help she can get, 😁 no matter the source.
