Wow, are there many of us out there? My birthday is next week!! I'm definitely a Lergo (LEO+Virgo=Lergo, it's like a Liger, but better!) w/Pisces moon. Yes, I'm often confused...but very driven when I have a goal in mind! I don't really consider myself very complex...but I do have a curious combination of Leo/Virgo characteristics...I always say I have only the good traits of each sign and none of the bad traits (I guess that's the Leo in me!). I'm usually introverted, but sometimes I'm extroverted.

I read somewhere recently (on this tribe I think) that someone didn't believe that cuspers actually exist...well that's just hogwash. I'm actually a Leo (born on 8/22), but I tend to lean towards Virgo traits more. I'm very analytical, I plan everything out, I am a compulsive cleaner, I need order in my life. But I'm also a sun worshiper, I'm very loyal, I like to look good and I love to have lots of fun! However, I don't think I really need to be the center of attention like some Leos.

Typically, I love most other LEOs, but there have been a few Leo men whom I absolutely couldn't stand to be around. I'm definitely attracted to Gemini men, which has never worked out for me. Most of my good friends are Aries, Taurus, & Scorpios.

As for the Pisces moon, I don't even know what that does to my personality...I've always been more mature and responsible than most people my age...but other than that, I don't know much about the sign. I'd really like to know more about how this might affect my personality.

First off.. oops on the mis spelling of Pisces.. Can ya tell I'm new round these parts?! : )

My husband (and first real boyfriend) was an Aries. After I was divorced the first man I was attracted to who is also my boyfriend of 3 years now, is a Taurus.. So I found it funny when I saw that correlation between other signs that you resonate well with too : )

I too read that post and I am a living testament of what a Leo / Virgo Cusp is. I think they can balance eachother out beautifully but they can also be very destructive together, maybe depending on the rest of the chart and major life influences. I'm the 23rd of August @ 2:31pm. Smack dab in the middle. I feel such a pull from both. The need to feel special fits me to a T.. I'll put off cleaning but then freak out on my house because the clutter makes me crazy.. at that point you'll find me labelling my life. But then, I won't keep up with it. lol I get so frustrated.. Some I know is how I was brought up however. I had NO decent influences, the only ones that were positive were some of my teachers who would occasionally bring a lunch for me because my Dad never did & my Grandmother whom I lived with for a a couple years while I was little because my Mom & Dad were "out there" looking for theirselves.

The Pisces Moon aspect is really really intersting to me probably because the tendencies fit me to a T. I feel as though my Moon sigh is stronger and the Me of Me than any other part of my chart.

I'll write you the Karmic point of view of Pisces Moon
Judy Hall writes

"This Moon remembers at a Soul level what it was to have soul and Self joined with the Divine. In the past, however, the Soul sought this Union through another person. The desire to be united may be so strong that any union, no matter how imperfect, is clung to-and hence relationships can be far from perfect. It is prone to illusions, delusions, and deceptions, the greatest of which is Self deception. As relationships rarely end at the emotional level, ties are brought forward from many lives. (this part I resonate with so deeply as I am with a man from many many lifetimes)
Another Pisces Moon ideal is that of Self-Sacrifice and Self-Immolation. Pisces immerses itself in pain and suffering. The urge is to take on suffering for others, the reality is to become a victim.

VICTIM-MARTYR-SAVIOR
Archetypes of savio, victim, martyr, rescuer, & persecuter are deeply etched within the psyche. So known and familiar are they that the soul feels completely comfortable falling back into these roles. (also resonated with this deeply) Lacking boundaries, the soul feel the pain of other acutely. Rather than having empathy, the Pisces Moon falls into sympathetic wallowing pity.

EMOTIONAL NEEDS
There are overwhelming emotional needs. Pisces flows this way and that, helplessly reacting to each and every emotional stimulus. This souls sees itself reflected through other people. It has great difficulty in being separate. Its urge is to merge with another. It lives through emotion and symbiosis. Emotional demands on other people are high, and the soul resorts to emotional blackmail to keep a relationship-without which it fears it will die. Separation is an ENORMOUS trauma for this Moon. The soul feel as if part of itself has been torn away. The need is to remain in the relationship no matter how bad. A pisces Moon rarely lets go of the past, especially it's partners.
A great part of this soul's neediness is expressed through the victim-martyr-savior syndrome. Wanting to save someone is an emoitonal desire. Becoming pulled into victimhood or martydom can be such an ingrained emotional pattern that the souls recieved emotional satisfaction only when immersed in these roles. It confuses pity with love, sympathy with relationship. The souls needs to be needed. If the needs are not met then the soul seeks escape or solace in a bottle-alcohol-pills, etc. - or in a beautiful fantasy.

The dominant emotion is guilt, both personal and existential. This soul wants to atone, when it should be seeking at-one-ment with the Divine."


That's the basics and at my core.. This is me. I figured all this out without the book fortunately.. but when I read this a few days ago I broke down in tears. I do not need the things that it mentions anymore because the last two years have been intense growth years for me however I hurt so deeply and in so many ways because of the tendencies mentioned. Especially the guilt part. I'm so prone to feeling it and inflicting it of myself more than anyone or anything. I used to inflict it upon others until I realized what I was doing.

Anywhoo, I think this is quite enough to keep you interested for now, let me know if you resonate with any of it : )

Oh wow!

I haven't been on this site in months but this topic is so timely for me.

I work with a guy who has this placement. He is such an interesting person. He is very much himself at all times with is unusual in the corporate world and makes everyone comfortable enough to take off their work mask, too...and it is hard to get me a Capricorn with Virgo Asc to do)

He's also an interesting mix of masuline and feminine. He was an intimidating looking guy who sobs at touching movies, truely loves women and quite arty - all this adds to the chick magnet factor.

I just find dude fasinating and wonder what mood he'll be reflexing one day to the next.

Here's the kicker: We are both Pisces Moon with Mars in Leo..

If we were not both in relationships I'd probably be all over him, but thank god the situation has allowed me to observe the fact that the attraction woud be one-sided.

Yep, I can say that the description of Pisces Moon describes me to a T....my work-buddy, too.

I think a difficult childhood is the norm for Pisces Moons tho and the Leo Sun placement helps with the unstoppability.

i am a leo/virgo cusp (born 22nd) with pisces rising and moon in taurus...so i can relate to this post...i definitely feel that i am complicated, confused at times and often misunderstood...i alter between being this vibrant outgoing person to being too responsible at times and a stick in the mud to wanting to escape from it all and swim in my own fantasy worlds...yep, this combination has its challenges. the older i get the more closer i seem to be moving toward my life's purpose and things are becoing easier and more clear but its taken awhile to get here...
