Do astrological personalities change over time?

Question

Hey,

This is a pretty philosophical question, but I was wondering what western astrology thinks of personalities over time. I know that your sign can tell you your personality, but does astrology assume that your personality remains fixed? does that mean that my predominant personality traits of an Arian will never change?

I'm also wondering what my sign really means. I was born March 26th (Aries), but Pisces traits describe me much better. When I read Arian traits, I feel like I've never felt like that before. What does Aries mean then? does that mean that I'll be changing into Aries during my lifetime? Because right now Aries doesn't describe me well at all...

Answer 1

well if you have a pisces moon ior ascendant maybe they wil come on at different times. I am a taurus, but when I was younger, I behaved more like an Aries (my moon). They say at certain times in your life, you're more likley to act more like your sun, or moon. If you go to www.cafeastrology.com you can find out other chart influences. And I have when people leave stupid answers like the first p**p pile did. Who cares about your opinions. If you don't know, leave the question ALONE! Sorry, it's my moon sign again! :) Great question by the way! Also take into account maturity levels, and experiences you go through. Here, you can modify your Arian traits, or hone them, depending on your life. (Ie if you have a bad temper, you can learn to calm it down bc it's gotten you into trouble) which would be a subconscious change on your part.

Cloudnines reasoning is quite understandable considering his ignorance.Than again maybe not.Even as young as 11 I knew that their was more to this than just your sun sign,but it was only a couple of years ago that I started looking at it more closely.Their is more to astrology than just your sun sign.The rest of the planets and hundreds of other different factors which result in over thousands of different combinations describe the complex personality of the individual.Suffice to say you are more than just an aries.

Moving on."do personalties change"? yes and no.Psychologists say that some of our personality is based on environment and can be changed to a certain extent yes.But a large part of our personality we are born with and will always have.We can act a different way but we have to act harder to act them out because it doesnt conform to who we really are.Personalties dont change but we do always learn new lessons as we advance thourgh life.Its more that our out looks of life change.What we once thought of something we now look at it in a new light be it positive or negative.And that can affect the way we ACT but not the way we HANDLE IT.(personality).When do these lessons come to fruitation?When the planet progresse into the next sign which I will leave a definition on right about now.

That is because astrology is a bunch of made up stuff with no scientific backup whatsoever.  To believe in it is to believe that of the billions of people on earth, we have 12 personalities with predominant traits.  Pretend you don't know your sign, and you can find yourself in any horoscope.

First the general answer... of course you change through time. I know when I do n astrology reading for someone who's 50, it is often very different than a reading for a 25 year old.

There is a technique called "Secondary Progressions" in astrology. To use it, you advance your chart one day for every year you have lived. So if you are 37 years old, you add 37 days to your birthday and set up a chart for that day. Astrologers use this to look at the subtle inner shifts a person goes through in life.

There are also things called transits. Transits are where the planets are now. They kept moving after you were born, and now and then they "set off" certain areas of your chart, challenging you, so to speak. Ideally, you rise to the challenge, learn some new things and are a more evolved and mature person.

Yes, you are always a Capricorn or a Virgo or whatever, but as you age and grow, you learn to handle it better and use it all more smoothly and efficiently... well, ideally, anyway.

As for you personally... you may have a strong influence of other planets in other signs. You could be Pisces Rising, putting your Aries Sun in the 12th house of the unconscious, somewhat suppressing your Aries tendencies... or you could have a Pisces Moon... or.. or... or...

You need to look at your whole chart, not just your sun sign.
