The Zodiac and Trust

Disclaimer: with astrology, it is possible to decipher our behaviour or to get a glimpse of the future. This is a theory which cannot be systematically tested. On the other hand, one may wish to follow an easier path, which puts into practice the principles listed in astrology textbooks. In a way, this is precisely the type of practical exercises that we suggest in this Lifestyle column.

We recommend that you follow our advice with both a light and observing mind. Beyond Gourmet, the aim is to understand how each of us behaves in various fields; thus, we can better define and fathom, by deduction, how we have developed our natal predispositions. In addition, why wouldn't we be able to guess the talent(s) which we could harness in the future, according to our astrological profile.

The following information is given for signs in their purest form. Depending on the case, it is advisable that you check your planetary dominant or the sign of your Ascendant, the position, quality and aspects of the significators of the area involved, and if applicable, the position of the planets associated with it. For instance, for family affairs, examine the 4th House and its ruler, as well the Moon; for romance, examine the 5th House and its ruler, as well as Venus, etc.

The large number of books we have read, and more particularly, the experience we have drawn from the study of thousands of charts, urge us to be cautious. However, we thought that it may be interesting to provide a few concrete indications, which will turn out to be accurate, quite often.

Aries and Trust

You trust people on first impressions. You like them, or you rebuff them, and that's all. Besides, nothing stimulates you more than a rivalry or a challenge. You gladly go for it. You do not need to strengthen your self-confidence with New Age development techniques. Instead, it would be better to encourage you not to fall into the trap of naivety.

You are good-hearted, and you may become infatuated, but sometimes you should examine more attentively every detail before drawing a conclusion. Making a quick judgment may prove costly or may deprive you of nice things. The other trap is that you may rapidly lose interest in what you have taken for granted.

The former are sorted in popularity order, whereas the latter are sorted according to the strongest dominant. Since each planet also rules a House – sometimes two houses – you may want to also look at charts having a strong 1st House.

Taurus and Trust

One should not rely on your apparent Venusian kindness. Indeed, it takes you some time to grant your trust. In this regard, you are representative of Earth signs which require proofs and tangible facts before committing themselves because they fear to be disappointed. This applies to emotional as well as to financial and business matters or to your commitments.

The reason of your behavior is not that you distrust people, and even less that you despise them. It is just that you know yourself well. Your long-time investing capacity is such that you need to know beforehand if it is worth it.

Gemini and Trust

With you, granting your trust is an attitude. Some sort of theatre performance. Clever and quick, you seem detached, you wriggle out of embarrassing situations, or you respond tit for tat, which suggests that you get along well with your interlocutor, and that's it, you are done.

Actually, it must be said that this talent has often helped you to get out of a tight spot and enabled you to start over as you like. Your constant golden excuse is that there has been a misunderstanding, or that the situation has changed. The nerve of it!

Cancer and Trust

In general, to earn your trust, one must be a member of your inner circle. This includes your family, especially parents and older people, but also very close friends. In any case, they must know you well before you decide to open your heart or your mind.

In addition, the type of dance you practice is one step forward and three steps back, meaning that you go back to your protective shell that you have difficulty leaving. In this regard, perhaps you should be more flexible. However, do not make the opposite mistake, and do not believe those who do not deserve it, or those who promise the moon to you.

Leo and Trust

Trusting someone is a special privilege you grant, and you expect the beneficiary to be fully aware of it. You are convinced that you are a bar of gold; in the worst case, if the true value of your talents is not recognized, you think that only idiots or ungrateful people are responsible for this.

Moreover, you move forward holding your head high as if you had more important issues to settle than to check people's actions. In reality, you want to avoid losing face by revealing that you made a mistake, if that was the case. Because, yes, you are not flawless; it does not matter, and those who understand this are probably able to better interact with you.

Virgo and Trust

It is quite simple for you to trust people. You get rid of all subjectivity or emotions, and you take the time to ponder. It comes down to drawing two columns, the positives and the negatives. One can rest assured that the result of your assessment will be unbiased and exhaustive.

Nevertheless, your refined analysis may play tricks on you. You may be able to stop everything if you notice a problematic clause in a contract, or a little detail stirring up suspicion. Your perfectionism is such that you may never find enough reasons to rely on people, refusing to give up the darn need for control dear to you. It might be wise to be a little bit naive.

Libra and Trust

Relationships are of the utmost importance to you and often imply a principle of trust. You need to love and to be loved to such an extent that this step may become an issue. Since you listen only to your heart and not to your reason, you may experience regrettable consequences. There is a real danger that you are taken advantage of, and that you do not enjoy the reciprocity you crave for. Truth or love: a Cornelian dilemma.

In addition, you happen to ask yourself too many questions; you hesitate endlessly, wondering whether you should go for it or not. This is how you may miss a nice opportunity. It is all about dosage.

Scorpio and Trust

It is certainly difficult to earn your trust. You almost always think that you are playing a game of chess, and you constantly wonder what your partner has in mind. You deal with business as well as with love matters in terms of tactic and power.

It also resembles some sort of liar's poker. You happen to bluff to drive your partner into a corner. This is how you finally get the impression that you have tested him enough. In short, it is very unlikely that you are easily taken for a ride, because your mistrust and your harsh judgment about human beings shelter you from being deceived. You should sometimes put water in your wine, because excesses are never good.

The former are sorted in popularity order, whereas the latter are sorted according to the strongest dominant.

Sagittarius and Trust

Trust is one of the major concerns of your life. On the one hand, you are brimming over with so much assurance that you could spare some. On the other hand, you profusely grant a favour. Full of self-confidence and generosity, indeed, your profile is almost that of a dupe about to be fleeced. Yet, finally, it does not really matter, given the natural assets of your personality.

You know that usually, people follow you, and if accidentally, you bump into cynical persons willing to trick you, never mind. Like Don Quixote, you face them, and they will kick themselves for that… unless you have already left for new territories.

Some Sagittarius Examples

You will find on Astrotheme thousands of natal charts of celebrities who have the Sun in Sagittarius, Sagittarius rising, or Jupiter dominant.

Capricorn and Trust

When they observe you, people may think that the fact that you grant your trust costs you a great deal. Firstly, your well-known caution can be explained by the fact that solitude is not a burden. You feel that your interlocutors are a source of problems distracting your attention from what is essential, or request that you share with them what is on your chest. But what a strange idea...

In the emotional area, it takes time – your cardinal virtue, and that is fine – to get near you and to encourage you to go along with the crowd. You belong to the austere type, but once you open your door, you remain reliable and loyal till the end.

You will find on Astrotheme thousands of natal charts of celebrities who have the Sun in Capricorn, Capricorn rising, or Saturn dominant.

Aquarius and Trust

You trust people indiscriminately. You have an unwavering faith in human beings, and you are always willing to give a chance to whoever comes to you to request a favor. With no distrust whatsoever, you open your door, you share your research or your values. You are not driven by the need to protect material things and even your ideas, which is rare.

The more you are open and without armor, the stronger is your feeling that everyone gets what he wants. If you are taken advantage of, more often than not, you have already moved on, without being aware of it.

Some Aquarius Examples

Pisces and Trust

Although you consider that trust is an important value, by no means it can be advocated. You probably guess that you get along well just looking into your partner's eyes, and you do not need words to understand each other. If you feel comfortable, you lower your guard. You give everything, including your slightest breath, because you appreciate almost spiritually the symbiosis with other people which is so fulfilling.

However, you should be careful about your extreme receptivity which brings about potential abandonment. Although you have intuition to spare, sometimes there are cynical people who want above all to obtain advantages to your detriment. Be a little bit more cautious, and everything will be fine.
