Astro-Observation - Leadership vs. Confidence
If I read “you’re a born leader” with Leo/Capricorn/Aries/Sagittarius placements one more goddamn time I swear…
Having natural confidence isn’t mutually exclusive with wanting to lead people. Sometimes these placements come off as leaders because they attract attention, which they may or may not like. I’m sorry, but unless there are placements that are more on the humanitarian side of the zodiac in someone’s chart, the Leo/Cap/Aries/Sag people more often than not are relishing in the benefits and power of status and popularity than anything else. That doesn’t make them heartless, they’re just real about it. Having public recognition is thrilling for these placements and there’s nothing wrong with that! Don’t sugarcoat it by calling them “leaders”. How many Instagram influencers would you call “leaders”? They’re entrepreneurs and personalities.
Leadership comes with a cause. Confidence comes with power.
I get that “born leader” shit because of my Leo ASC vibes, but I wouldn’t even have a modicum of patience for people if I didn’t have my wonderful Cancer dom mother (with an Aqua moon) raising me and teaching me the value of caregiving and not abusing your power while doing so, which I think reflects my Mars in Cancer and Aqua stellium (Sun, Merc, and Sat). BUT do I genuinely enjoy leading and taking care of people? My Aries in Venus says fuck to the no with my Leo ASC and Sag NN. My Gemini moon shows how I can switch from one to the other too depending on the social situation, but trust me, I’d rather focus on me. I know how to be a caretaker and a leader. That doesn’t mean I actually AM one, let alone like it lol. People are interesting, but I don’t want to babysit them everyday of my life. The people I care about most are those who have earned my trust and are capable of taking care of themselves, and I’ll know that when they ask for help, it’s fucking serious. But other than that, my Nep/Ura in Cap in my 6th house said I got shit to do.
The placements that have the highest potential to be productive leaders, if you ask me, are Cancers, Virgos, Aquariuses, Libras, and Scorpios. Y’all keep calling this group a bunch of overthinking crybabies, but at least they’re thinking about other people with empathy and a sense of justice lmao.
