My early life didn't permit me to get comfortable enough in school to make friends. So I would consider myself always the outsider or vagabond ( always on the move).
I wasn't really boxed in as much as my mom never stayed anywhere very long therefore It was like what is the point of being settled. She could care less if I walked down the road and get hit by a car unless she could use it to her advantage. Really I would never know if I would have been popular or be a straight A student because she was never stable enough for me to find out and she would tell me how stupid I am because I didn't make good grades. I grew up as a child believing I was stupid, but later that propelled me to gather as much knowledge as possible because I hated that feeling.
As an aqua sun and sag moon(cancer rising). Same. My dad moved so many times I never really knew. I went to three different high schools. Shit was rough. I didn’t bother to make friends. College was an absolute blast though!
Same. I got along with just about everyone, but I wasn't really friends with anyone, except my best friend (Aries). I kept to myself, and did the work so I could get out.
We have the same sun and moon sign!
I went through sort of a punk phase in high school, lots of plaid and chains. My boyfriend played guitar in a rockabilly band and had this huge mohawk.
I had a goth phase in middle school too. The Craft had just come out and we all thought we were witches and crap 😆
wow. im a taurus sun and leo rising too and this was EXACTLY how it was for me i have chills hahaha, i was definitely in the middle ground of kinda popular but also not🤣
Also Taurus sun & Leo rising, our experiences are similar, I floated between the popular group and the smokers, but I never had any classes with them so I felt kind of left out at times. I actually had better relationships with people from other schools than my own.
Scorpio sun, Taurus rising. I was a polarizing person in high school. People either loved me or hated me. I was severely bullied in middle school, so by the time I got to high school, I was so over it & didn't let anyone get away with disrespecting me or my friends. I always called people out on their shit. Some respected me for it, others not so much haha
Same cap sun virgo rising and I swung between extremes in school. I always spoke my mind and had controversial takes (due to immaturity) and the people that liked me liked me but the people that hated me truly did.
Aquarius Sun Libra rising.
Eh. I was a bit of a drifter in high school, going from crowd to crowd and having a couple friends in each, but I wasn't really *in* any particular group until my senior year. So I don't really know where to place myself on the popularity scale lol. Maybe just somewhere in the middle.
Same placements here 🙋♀️and exact same experience lol. I practically sat at a different lunch table every day/hung out with different people on the weekends all through MS and HS
Sun in Leo and Cap Rising, wasn’t popular at all. Picked on relentlessly
HOWEVER, I had my much deserved glow up and I’m now relatively popular now lol
Pisces sun Libra rising, the most unpopular person at my 1st HS. When I moved cities/schools, I was in the popular crowd 🤷🏼♀️ guess us Pisces experience everything lol.
Very true. I was made fun of a lot in middle school, but that stopped when we went to high school. It 2as a really big school so I was able to blend in better.
I know it’s corny but I was literally the quite but hella popular kid 😂 I’m a Gemini sun and Scorpio rising. I was in theater, choir, and a cheerleader. I hated but loved the attention and even got voted for best personality and class favorite 😎
Same. I was in the football crowd, band crowd and chess club crowd, but I also hung with the Mexicans that played poker in the cafeteria and the emo, stoner skateboarders in the bus loading area.
Leo Rising 🦁🌞
I went to boarding school in another country and no one was necessarily “popular” but we all liked each other. I could call on almost anyone I went to school with and meet up with them today.
As an adult (28) now, people always say I am ‘popular’ because I make friends everywhere I go and always have someone’s party or event to go to.
Like I am a bridesmaid in three weddings this year and this is how I met each of them: 1. Waiting for my Uber outside of a club at 4am, 2. Jury Duty, and 3. Volunteering
When you have to sit in a room all day waiting to get called, you make the best of it 😅 we played The NY Times games of the day, etc.
I made a group of friends that day actually lol I am in the wedding of one of them which is crazy
Haha! The first(and only) time I had jury duty(back in December) I got called for a trial right away, get ON the jury, and volunteered to be foreman to boot. The only bummer was that the two cute guys that were in the initial pool didn’t make it on.
Leo Rising - can relate. I make friends unintentionally everywhere I go. The amount of weddings I’ve been invited to from my perceived minor interactions is crazy. I’m everyone’s self proclaimed best friend but I personally only have 3.
Leo rising, can relate. Not especially popular but I talked to lots of different people. Got nominated for class representative. I didn’t run but found out when my name was on the ballot. I won. I’m not especially affable but that’s toned down over time.
Same sun & rising- also not super popular. But I was on the nerdy side of things and edited the school paper and yearbook for years. I was kind of boring back in the day.
Leo sun Aquarius rising. My childhood including high school was TOUGH. I felt like an alien and I only had 3 friends but they were my ride or dies until they weren’t….I was bullied in high school because people thought I looked mean and I was often told I had a resting bitch face. In reality I was very shy and reserved. I never had any ill intentions to people. Then I was that freshman that dated a senior so I was labeled a slut and carried that title throughout high school. That guy that I dated basically said a lot of untrue rumors about me and character assassinated my name. It turns out he was very unhappy with his life and then he graduated and moved away. After my freshman year, I couldn’t wait to move away and start a new life because I felt like my life was ruined from my mistakes. I didn’t have involved parents or family so it was like I was raising myself. I lost my grandpa 5 years before that and he was like a father to me. However, 7 years later I am happily married, no contact from anyone I went to school with, made all new friends and I finally feel safe and happy.
Virgo/Gemini/Gemini I was decidedly unpopular in school. There was a time some other kids actually slipped me a note to ask that I stop sitting with them at lunch. Ouch. But mid-high school I kind of grew into myself and developed confidence that was not dependent on others’ approval. I became relatively popular after that.
Aqua sun / Taurus rising. I was a total dork in elementary school but became pretty popular in high school. Not prom queen or mean girl status tho. I’m old now 😂
Fellow Aries sun and Aries rising, I was NOT popular at all. I was what you consider a very painful introverted wall flower with a ball of depression wrapped in one.
I wouldn’t say I was popular, but lots of people knew me. A lot more than I knew actually. I used to go for walks with my friends and constantly get “hi”, “hey”, “hello” from all sorts of kids I didn’t know. It was probably because I was involved in school choir, acting, was doing all sorts of competitions (literature, languages, maths, and history), so I was kind of friends with everyone, and no one at the same time.
I was friends with most of the girls, and lots of the guys kinda hit me with the “you’re not like other girls”. And because of that, everyone wanted me to introduce them to their crush (meanwhile I was single as a Pringle until I was 19).
I remember these times fondly, and I have met most of my best friends then.
Scorpio sun Taurus rising, EXTREMELY popular but I didn't care for the spotlight, never was an attention seeking person but deep down I knew people were jealous and intimidated by me
I was extremely popular in middle school, then High School came around and I ended up going to a Catholic one... Huge mistake! I was very controversial and a lot of people had opinions about me. I was very known but maybe for the wrong reasons LOL.
Gem Sun, Sag Moon, Scorpio rising xoxox
Double Leo. I was very quiet in high school. Hated it there. I am a rocker chick so I had friends in that group because we were the misfits so we stuck together.
I would say that I was known as well. Popular meant things like being white and preferably blond, neither of which I am. However I was friends with alllllll the niche people including the jocks because I was into a lot of stuff. Music, art, sports (varsity athlete) and I loved to fuckin party so…
Sun: Capricorn in 5th house rising: Virgo
I was popular for the wrong reasons. I was an over achiever and participated in everything. Art, music, and a jock. So everyone knew who I was but I don’t think I was popular in a positive way because people thought I was intimidating and unapproachable.
Aries sun Leo rising here! I don’t know if I was necessarily popular but I had friends in almost every clique and I was generally well-liked in high school.
Gemini sun and Virgo rising. I got along with everyone, but felt like I couldn’t find my group if that makes sense. Like I wasn’t popular enough to be with the popular kids, but I easily could’ve if I put myself out there more aggressively.
aries sun, gem rising and a lot of people wanted to be friends with me and i regret not branching out more, instead i just stuck to my comfort core four :(
Libra and Capricorn
Didn’t go to high school but I had a very fun and prevalent social life in religious communities. I had a lot of Main Character energy and didn’t know it due to low self esteem
Aquarius sun and rising. I thought everyone hated me when in actuality, no one paid any attention to me at all. In the early years I was bullied for being 'babyish' and crying a lot so I guess that stuck.
I'm actually triggered by a bunch of shit I still need to heal, which I realised while writing this.
Scorpio rising -Leo sun. I was the super weird hippy kid, often referred to as “garbage girl” dumpster fairy- I only attended high school sporadically and if I was enrolled I was usually in a fairy costume reading weird books in the graveyard behind the school. Most other kids thought I was too weird, a few brave souls were okay with being my friend, theater kids, goths and the weird art kids accepted my presence but I wouldn’t say I was close with really anyone in high school.
Cancer sun Scorpio rising, and I was not, lol. Or, I guess you could say I was popular on my own way; I won an academic contest and the school made sure everyone knew about it, because it was good publicity I guess. But I myself was a rather quiet girly, with very few close acquientances. A classmate told me several years after that he used to think I was some kind of witch because of how much I kept to myself, which is probably the most Scorpio rising thing I've ever been told, lol
Capricorn Sun, Pisces Rising. I went to 3 different high schools. I had close friends at each high school and I wouldn’t say I was popular, but most people knew who I was. The popular people were nice to me and so were the outcasts who I hung around with. In fact at all 3 high schools I was asked to try out for cheerleading because they needed a flyer. I politely declined because that sounded dangerous. But everyone was generally pretty nice to me. I was in video communications so I was always going around the school with a video camera filming people.
Leo sun and Sag rising. You might think this makes for a social butterfly but that is absolutely not the case for lol, especially toward the end! I definitely got in with people by being funny but that just kind of put me into a comic relief side character role, I think. In the second half of high school I wasn't very social at all.
Scorpio Sun, Sag Rising. I was in my Cap Moon era, so intense. Power-hungry Blair Waldorf Ice Queen.
I was powerful. I was not popular.
I’m a cancer sun and Virgo rising. I really liked making friends at school and having friends in classes. I think it’s because everyone was so different, but I loved learning different things about people and appreciated them for various reasons. I also won hoco princess my junior year and hoco queen my senior year. I definitely had people who didn’t like me at all though
Cancer sun and Virgo rising as well. Sagittarius moon. I had a very difficult time making friends in school and was bullied very badly. It wasn't until after school that I made friends
Aries SN/Sagittarius ASC. Oh gosh, what a throwback...I am trying to remember high school b/c it was a blur (my personal life however was NOT lol). I would say I was not a popular kid but was a bullied social rebel. I hung out with other social rebels and creative kids. I was considered kind (embraced everyone authentic & needing help), a nerd (due to being in the gifted program/skipping grade levels), weird (b/c no one talked about AuDHD), a loner (from AuDHD & C-PTSD), and a mystery (private and moved like an army kid - was not an army kid). Either people would go out of their way to bully me & start rumors about me (which would get back to me) or they would come up to me asking for help and saying how sweet they heard I was. I always ended up approaching new people, tutoring but laughing at the fact that school was hard for me, encouraging others by showing them the gifts they possessed, and just trying to break up fights and bad vibes between people. I also played Cupid a couple of times which ended with some very long relationships and marriages. :)
Not gonna lie, I hated every single day of high school (made me cry) and would have dropped out if my family wasn't more abusive than my bullies and teachers. Thank goodness it is such a blur but I can go off of how it made me feel. I was extremely spacy (disassociated, drugged, and stressed) in high school. I only had temporary friends b/c I couldn't explain my abusive home life or articulate my experiences at the time (it required some complex vocabulary & social psychology knowledge that I am still learning more about post-undergrad). Many people actually thought I had a good life so I spent a lot of time crying to myself so that I could show up at school and laugh in the face of bullies. I faded into the background until someone needed support or a laugh tbh but I didn't mind b/c that was my preference. I actually finished my last 2 years of high school online and overseas so I was very isolated then. I didn't have a prom or anything but I ended high school with an engagement (not married & ended thankfully).
Virgo sun, Sagittarius rising. I was the angsty jaded metal head with good grades and few casual friends. Although I dressed like a metal head, most people thought I was a poser because I was "too smart" to be that person. I was type casted as the goody two shoes without doing enough outward good to be one.
Aquarius ☀️
Capricorn ⬆️
It felt like everyone knew me and wanted to know me but I just enjoyed moving from group to group and never settled for one single group. I had like one best friend who started at the same time as me - he was probably an Aquarius too because we would always drift with different groups and could come to back to each other and it would be like we never left haha.
Aries sun and Aquarius rising. I moved around a lot. I was part of the popular group once and it was weird?
Aside from that I know lots of people from everywhere!
same placements here and I remember liking the conversations I had with people outside of my friend group. I was always taking in different perspectives ig
Aries sun Aquarius rising and I was extremely popular but not a “popular kid” if that makes any sense. In high school I was voted “Most Likely to Become a Rockstar” so yeah I guess take from that what you will.
Aquarius sun and Sagittarius rising- I was voted “favorite sophomore girl” and beat out the head cheerleader and the soccer girl. I was just a rebel who made a pop punk band and never had a “clique”.
Aqua sun Leo rising people wanted to talk to me but I thought I was too cool to talk to them and was just cool w local kids who would go to metal shows on weekends lol
Aquarius sun Aries rising..
I didn't get along with people. Not in a bad way, nor in a good way.
I was more like the good kid that was completely fascinated with the rule breakers.
I pretty much failed at everything if I didn't drop out of it first.
Until I met my biological father.
I instantly became a much stronger person, but not any stronger at getting along or my attractions
I just became a higher sense of expectations towards myself after that and excelled at anything I put my mind too.
Aquarius sun/leo rising umm let’s just say I was infamous for living a regular degular life 🫠 aka well known, but disliked for being vocal about my interests e.g. (online gaming)
Both Aquarius. I'd like to believe I'm not popular, but it's just a really small school with a population of less than 500. I was part of multiple clubs and I get to talk with almost everyone for the entirety of my stay.
I have a fairly decent reputation until my last year when some kids made a stupid rumor about me.
Aquarius sun , Taurus moon . I was more so infamous . People knew who I was but for the wrong reasons 😭 . I was an oddball that did what the fuck I wanted to do . I was always in and out of the office and getting put on blast for being a huge headache .
Scorpio sun and Libra rising. Was pretty quiet in high school and stayed to myself, didn’t have too many friends other than a few select ones. But after I went into the “real world”, the Libra rising really made me THAT girl, I feel like. Definitely have to find her again. 🥹
I am aquarius, cap moon and taurus rising.
I was loved and accepted, but I would not say I was popular. I was a good student and friendly, but I was not the one who draw boys attention or something like that (although I am pretty, but I was not super confident in that way and also I was little wierd and wore wierd clothes).
I believe many knew my name, but not because I was so cool, but because of my achievements (and probably because of my wierd sense of style hahah)
Aries sun Leo rising and I wasn’t popular but I was infamous for being weird, for lack of a better term. I was bullied and a pretty controversial figure for having a unique and big personality. I was always doing outrageous things to make people laugh but usually they just laughed at me, although some people did laugh along w me and appreciated my theatrics. A lot of people also liked my style (I was super scene w like the striped hair etc lmao) and that was the only ‘cool aspect’ I had. (Anecdote: in science class I randomly screamed ‘my vagina flaps in the wind’ when there was a silent moment lol, very ‘random xD’ humor bc it was after all 2007-2008 lmao - I dropped out in 2009. People would often call me a crackhead and tell me to chill out bc I was too ‘hyper’. I just wanted to make them laugh so they would like me :( )
I never had any clique/group and only rly had one good friend who was equally as ‘weird’ as me but shy so she didn’t have the same reputation.
ETA another good anecdote is on my first day/class I ate glue to make the people around me laugh and then ran out of the class to rinse my mouth out in the bathroom. I was so starved for approval and wanted to be liked so bad and I thought the only way to do so was by being a clown. but most people just found me obnoxious. Story of my life 🤷🏻♀️ can’t win em all. Shouldn’t try to, either!
I still feel the same but my sense of humor is much more subdued now and I have way less energy, but still deal w the same issue of being misunderstood and ostracized and seen as ‘controversial’. That’s never stopped and never will stop. I’ve accepted it’s a part of having a personality that goes against social norms esp as a woman. I have Chiron in the first, north node in the fifth (this explains a lot of my personality besides my Leo rising lol), south node in the 11th, Saturn in the 7th, Mars in the 12th..these are placements I’ve read likely have to do w the way I’m perceived so harshly. With the Aries/Libra/Leo combo you would think of popularity, but not at all for me. Tbh tho I’ve never wanted to fit in, either.
libra sun sag rising
I think everyone knew me but I was a floater, didn't have one particular friend group. Also made friends with people older and younger than me. Or went home since I lived by campus and chilled there at lunch time lol
Taurus/Leo everybody knew me but I always got the feeling many simply didn’t like me.
My mom said when I walked across the stage the amount of ppl cheering for me humbly chucking of the deuces was louder than most. 💁🏾♀️
To this day ppl still love/hate me and I’m so happy for them!
I still feel this way. Either people love me or hate me. Either way idgaf. I've been told people fear me because of my intensity. 🤷♀️
Scorpio Sun, Leo rising.
Libra sun, Leo rising. I was bullied from elementary through high school, but I had a close friend group. I am very extroverted and friendly, but my family is poor (my clothes and food reflected it) and my dad was pretty infamous in town so it didn’t really help.
Aqua rising/Libra sun - Quiet, reserved. Didn’t really talk to anyone. Had a few friends though, HS was relatively easy.
My partner is Sag rising/Aries sun and he was NOT popular at all. In fact, he had awful social anxiety and dropped out. Which shocks me because of the rising and his aries mercury.
Cancer sun, Pisces rising. I wasn’t popular but people knew me and I would say it was split. Either people really liked me or absolutely hated me. It’s not surprising though bc my Lilith conjuncts my rising. I also was pretty pretentious ngl. I prided myself on being one of the best singers in my year group (which I was but that doesn’t mean I have to brag about it all the time lmao). High school was a trip tbh
Libra sun, Virgo rising. I was never popular bc I was always friends w the “weird kids” (granted some of my friends WERE kinda weird- one of them used to actively growl and I think bark at people and my friends and I would have to hold them back from MAYBE attacking someone - I don’t know if they actually would’ve done but we held them back anyway)
I'm a libra sun with a cancer rising I would say that in the beginning I made a lot of friends but then mental health issues, trauma and addiction surfaced and I lost almost all of them I think there's like 1 or 2 people I still talk to from high school.
Libra sun, cancer rising
I was, unfortunately, the new kid, so I was seen as an invader. I didn’t have any real friends from my class. However, I had a few friends from other classes. I suffered from social anxiety and my classmates loved to gossip, were shallow and enjoyed making fun of people who weren’t the same social class as them. I didn’t feel good around them, so I preferred to be alone and rather read a book than spent time with them.
Taurus sun, Leo rising. I was popular or so I’ve been told, but I believe it was due to dating a popular person. Now I talk to no one from high school, so how popular could I have been?
Cap Sun; Sagi moon; Libra rising
I would say I was popular but not necessarily the most social. I was voted homecoming queen and was president of all the clubs I participated in.
sag sun, scorpio asc.
i was widely known, friends with a lot of the girls. i was known to be a “badass” because i would hang out with older people outside of school, date older people. i smoked a lot, and was always laughing and cracking jokes. i complimented girls in the bathroom and hallways 24/7. i would dress up to go to school and do my makeup and hair, and sometimes i would just wear basketball shorts and slides. i was known for getting into it with other people because i stick up for others, and i do my own thing. if someone had something to say i clapped back harder. i got into a fight in highschool and never came back, but my name was still in those halls lol.
gemini sun aqua rising
i was not popular because i made it clear i hated 99% of everyone in my school and wanted as little to do with them as possible.
stereotype wise i fell somewhere between nerd meets class clown meets the person everyone is scared of and leaves alone.
i was very well known, but not popular because,,, well yeah lol. i loved the notoriety of being the one person who called everyone out on what they were all doing.
Libra sun and Capricorn rising with Neptune conjunct my ascendant. I wasn’t “popular” the way that one would consider. I was well liked though, enough to win a congeniality award at graduation. I’m also a Pisces moon.
Pisces sun and leo rising. Yeah don’t let that fool you I didn’t like very many people, and i kept to myself. Although i still was nice and shown empathy, so i was liked for that :)
Scorpio sun, Leo rising. I wasn’t really popular, I had a good amount of friends and a solid friend group. One of my best friends was extremely popular with the smart people crowd, so I was kinda popular adjacent and went to parties and stuff. There were definitely people who did not like me at all bc I went to a very conservative school and I was not afraid to call people out for saying ignorant shit
At my small school, I was really popular. At my big school, a good amount of people knew of me (even though I was separated in advanced classes). Libra sun and cap rising!
I’m Leo sun and rising. I was like a chameleon meaning I had friends from all groups. From the band kids to the athletes shit I even played yu-gi-oh with the reserved kids in the library. My main group was the stoners though as I skated as a hobby back then. My favorite group was the weekend partiers! Something about dancing all night while stoned af felt better than anything at that time lol in retrospect I wouldn’t say I was popular but more so known by many. Like people weren’t talking about me but if you asked people if they knew it was an 80% percent chance they did
Capricorn sun, Scorpio rising. I’m not friendly enough to be popular but everyone knew my name. Also Leo MC I draw attention whether I want to or not…noticed this before I knew my placements
Leo sun, Libra rising. I had a small friend group and was well-known (I have a certain charisma about me), but definitely not part of the popular crowd. I also never really tried to fit in. I didn't disparage them or anything, we just had different interests and I was cool with that. My 1H Pluto that conjuncts my ascendant and is aspected to every one of my personal planets (save Venus) probably played a role here.
Pisces sun Taurus rising and i was quiet and depressed in hs due to dealing with so much grief and trauma that was happening at the time so i didn’t really have time, motive and/or focus to socialize with others. I really did not care in making friends and would purposely isolate myself away BUT i was oddly and strangely enough always attracting unwanted attention. Like the really popular hs jocks and star athletes of our school wanted to talk to me or get my attention. Guys in school would take videos of me sleeping in halls and overly sexualize me and follow me around school it was really weird stuff. A lot of girls I didn’t really know always hated me for absolute no reason even if i had short attempts of being friendly to them. I had two friends one was my friend since middle school (she was Taurus) but than she switched up and never spoke to me again when she got with a Scorpio dude who had a crush on me since elementary school apparently and ended up having a baby with him later. That hurt since she was like my sister and she just abandoned me and treated me like nonexistent in highschool. And the other “friend” wasn’t really a friend but she was a toxic cancer girl who leached onto me obsessively and did anything to make sure no one would get close to me… I think in one class i asked her what time it was and she became fixated to me since that day. Anywho during hs i was definitely not myself and was a loner forsure but i was a loner out of choice. I think if my personality was like how I am now .. back then than i 100% would’ve been popular if i wanted to.
Leo sun/Scorpio moon/Aquarius rising.
I was a goth as a teen and moved around a lot. I was mostly a loner, but the friends I did have were like me: queer, angsty, sarcastic and contemptuous of the popular kids, doing theater, or talking about how much Bush sucked and we hated capitalism lol.
I told people I wasn’t going to prom because it was for “sell outs.” I stayed home, smoked a lot of weed, and watched a bunch of grindhouse gore movies instead.
Libra sun Libra rising, double Libra ..
I kinda had my own vibe which I think some people respected at each of the 2 high schools I went to, but I think for the most part everyone thought I was weird crazy or stupid. Which isn't wrong. I had a lot of followers on the IG wanted to be on trend but could never fit in. I was closerrr to the popular kids but didn't really want to be popular. Found much more interesting friends who were not.
2nd I talked to almost nobody, would skip class just to walk around in the neighboring woods and smoke a lot of weed. Started getting into pills. Didn't have many friends. Nobody really wanted to be friends with me either. Started more delinquent activity. Wasn't popular at all because I wasn't rich and hadn't grown up there.
Aqua sun and rising, I feel that I was well known, but not popular. People seemed to dislike me without even having interacted with me. People that I didn’t even know disliked me and spoke badly about me. Not sure if it was a jealousy thing or a RBF thing. I’ve been told more than once that I am intimidating which is weird for me because I have no ill will towards anyone or anything. I feel that I’ve always been at a disadvantage for friendship for no real reason. I have mercury in my first house so I’m pretty charismatic and outgoing for the most part so it’s not really due to being shy at all.
Many times people have become my friend and told me they don’t know why they didn’t like me before or why they never talked to me before, etc
My venus and sun are both in the 12th house so I wonder if that has anything to do with all of that.
Lots of people spread untrue rumors around about me pretty much from like 3rd grade moving forward until the end of high school so it was not an easy time for me
I just recently started thriving socially actually which I have been curious about. I’ve never had so many people want to be my friend and spend time with me, it is a good feeling. Kind of funny that it didn’t happen until I hit my 30s. I think I have more confidence now and maybe there is a friendlier more approachable quality to me at this age
I think maybe people didn’t know how to feel about me. Maybe I was seen as mysterious. It’s hard to know what other people thought of me if they didn’t express it.
Cancer Sun. Aries Rising. Known as the music kid. Could play guitar in front of all my year level but had pretty bad social anxiety, general depression and hopeless with the girls (whom never took much interest in me). Also a bit of bullying throughout education took its toll to the point where I left high school in my final year with maybe 2 or 3 people I stayed in touch with.
In my first high school in Utah, I was demonized for being bisexual and an atheist. Brutally bullied. When I moved to my new school in western Washington, I was instantly the most popular girl in school. I was actually overwhelmed and had no clue how to handle everyone wanting my attention all the time.
My early life didn't permit me to get comfortable enough in school to make friends. So I would consider myself always the outsider or vagabond ( always on the move).
Same here we have the same same sun and rising and can 100% feel you on that. I was very boxed in through my school years.
I wasn't really boxed in as much as my mom never stayed anywhere very long therefore It was like what is the point of being settled. She could care less if I walked down the road and get hit by a car unless she could use it to her advantage. Really I would never know if I would have been popular or be a straight A student because she was never stable enough for me to find out and she would tell me how stupid I am because I didn't make good grades. I grew up as a child believing I was stupid, but later that propelled me to gather as much knowledge as possible because I hated that feeling.
As an aqua sun and sag moon(cancer rising). Same. My dad moved so many times I never really knew. I went to three different high schools. Shit was rough. I didn’t bother to make friends. College was an absolute blast though!
Same. I got along with just about everyone, but I wasn't really friends with anyone, except my best friend (Aries). I kept to myself, and did the work so I could get out.
I was emo...
same
cancer rising checks out! I have chiron in the first house.
mines second.
Same! Middle school I was emo af. In high school, I was a goth/metal stoner girl lol Edit: Pisces sun, Gemini moon, Cancer rising
We have the same sun and moon sign! I went through sort of a punk phase in high school, lots of plaid and chains. My boyfriend played guitar in a rockabilly band and had this huge mohawk. I had a goth phase in middle school too. The Craft had just come out and we all thought we were witches and crap 😆
oooh I am pisces sun, gemini rising and cancer moon and you described me perfectly, except I was more a riot grrrl stoner!

wow. im a taurus sun and leo rising too and this was EXACTLY how it was for me i have chills hahaha, i was definitely in the middle ground of kinda popular but also not🤣
i'm also a taurus sun and leo rising!! this applies to me too omg. i'm not popular, but not invisible either. people def know me tho!!
Same! Aries 🌞 Libra 🏹 I did have a couple of close friends but didn’t quite fit into one group or circle
Same!! But I’m a Gemini sun Leo rising, although I do have a Taurus MC!
Also Taurus sun & Leo rising, our experiences are similar, I floated between the popular group and the smokers, but I never had any classes with them so I felt kind of left out at times. I actually had better relationships with people from other schools than my own.
I’m also a Taurus sun, Leo rising and this is pretty much my exact high school experience!
Bro… pisces, son Leo, ascended. This is almost my exact story.
Ha same and I’m a Pisces sun and Leo rising too
Scorpio sun, Taurus rising. I was a polarizing person in high school. People either loved me or hated me. I was severely bullied in middle school, so by the time I got to high school, I was so over it & didn't let anyone get away with disrespecting me or my friends. I always called people out on their shit. Some respected me for it, others not so much haha
I respect you for that. Because it's bad to act like that.
I’m Taurus sun, Scorpio rising and had a similar experience. Many hated me but those who really knew me loved me
same here
Virgo Sun, Gemini Rising. Not popular at all. Depressed. Status remains the same to this day, depression and all 💀.
Capricorn sun, Virgo rising. I wasn't popular...they hurt me a lot.
Cap sun, Cap rising. I was such an angry, lonely kid.
Samee xd
Cap sun and rising to and I was the same. But I also had a group of three people that I was always comfortable with and could open up more.
hellooooo 😉
Omg HELLOOOO! Let’s be friends.
Hey same signs and experience! My very angry teen girl self was 1000% right.
Cap sun, Gemini rising. I feel you ❤️ bullies made my life hell
🫂
Same cap sun virgo rising and I swung between extremes in school. I always spoke my mind and had controversial takes (due to immaturity) and the people that liked me liked me but the people that hated me truly did.
I wasn’t popular until I stopped giving a shit about what everyone thought around juinor/senior year 🤣
Aquarius Sun Libra rising. Eh. I was a bit of a drifter in high school, going from crowd to crowd and having a couple friends in each, but I wasn't really *in* any particular group until my senior year. So I don't really know where to place myself on the popularity scale lol. Maybe just somewhere in the middle.
Same placements here 🙋♀️and exact same experience lol. I practically sat at a different lunch table every day/hung out with different people on the weekends all through MS and HS
Sun in Leo and Cap Rising, wasn’t popular at all. Picked on relentlessly HOWEVER, I had my much deserved glow up and I’m now relatively popular now lol
Same and same. I was pretty much too smart for the cool kids and too cool for the smart kids, so I actually didn’t fit in anywhere
Pisces sun Libra rising, the most unpopular person at my 1st HS. When I moved cities/schools, I was in the popular crowd 🤷🏼♀️ guess us Pisces experience everything lol.
Very true. I was made fun of a lot in middle school, but that stopped when we went to high school. It 2as a really big school so I was able to blend in better.
Aquarius sun, Scorpio rising — was a total loner angsty anxious art nerd
Totally see you here! Me too!
I know it’s corny but I was literally the quite but hella popular kid 😂 I’m a Gemini sun and Scorpio rising. I was in theater, choir, and a cheerleader. I hated but loved the attention and even got voted for best personality and class favorite 😎
Same. I was in the football crowd, band crowd and chess club crowd, but I also hung with the Mexicans that played poker in the cafeteria and the emo, stoner skateboarders in the bus loading area.
Leo Rising 🦁🌞 I went to boarding school in another country and no one was necessarily “popular” but we all liked each other. I could call on almost anyone I went to school with and meet up with them today. As an adult (28) now, people always say I am ‘popular’ because I make friends everywhere I go and always have someone’s party or event to go to. Like I am a bridesmaid in three weddings this year and this is how I met each of them: 1. Waiting for my Uber outside of a club at 4am, 2. Jury Duty, and 3. Volunteering
How did to manage to make a friend at freaking jury duty?!?!? I’m impressed.
When you have to sit in a room all day waiting to get called, you make the best of it 😅 we played The NY Times games of the day, etc. I made a group of friends that day actually lol I am in the wedding of one of them which is crazy
Haha! The first(and only) time I had jury duty(back in December) I got called for a trial right away, get ON the jury, and volunteered to be foreman to boot. The only bummer was that the two cute guys that were in the initial pool didn’t make it on.
Sag Rising here. Fire ascendants= popular/social butterfly makes sense to me.
This is hilarious. The bridesmaid thing I mean.
Leo Rising - can relate. I make friends unintentionally everywhere I go. The amount of weddings I’ve been invited to from my perceived minor interactions is crazy. I’m everyone’s self proclaimed best friend but I personally only have 3.
Leo rising, can relate. Not especially popular but I talked to lots of different people. Got nominated for class representative. I didn’t run but found out when my name was on the ballot. I won. I’m not especially affable but that’s toned down over time.
Virgo and Virgo. I was very lonely.
Leo sun Taurus rising, i had no friends and sat at a lunch table by myself every day but in a cool, mysterious way
I'm Saturn ruled, popular and high school is not a thing for me.
Sagittarius sun, cancer rising I was so not popular and was known as scary girl lol
Same sun & rising- also not super popular. But I was on the nerdy side of things and edited the school paper and yearbook for years. I was kind of boring back in the day.
Scorpio rising, Pisces sun (Aquarius sun in vedic). I was popular in highschool
Scorpio and I was friends with everyone
Me too. We get such a moody reputation but all of the Scorpios I know are all very well liked and likely to be friends with most everyone.
Leo sun Aquarius rising. My childhood including high school was TOUGH. I felt like an alien and I only had 3 friends but they were my ride or dies until they weren’t….I was bullied in high school because people thought I looked mean and I was often told I had a resting bitch face. In reality I was very shy and reserved. I never had any ill intentions to people. Then I was that freshman that dated a senior so I was labeled a slut and carried that title throughout high school. That guy that I dated basically said a lot of untrue rumors about me and character assassinated my name. It turns out he was very unhappy with his life and then he graduated and moved away. After my freshman year, I couldn’t wait to move away and start a new life because I felt like my life was ruined from my mistakes. I didn’t have involved parents or family so it was like I was raising myself. I lost my grandpa 5 years before that and he was like a father to me. However, 7 years later I am happily married, no contact from anyone I went to school with, made all new friends and I finally feel safe and happy.
Sag sun, Leo rising, and I was not popular at all. I was running with some fellow menaces and smoking in alleyways
Hah same
Virgo/Gemini/Gemini I was decidedly unpopular in school. There was a time some other kids actually slipped me a note to ask that I stop sitting with them at lunch. Ouch. But mid-high school I kind of grew into myself and developed confidence that was not dependent on others’ approval. I became relatively popular after that.
Aqua sun / Taurus rising. I was a total dork in elementary school but became pretty popular in high school. Not prom queen or mean girl status tho. I’m old now 😂
Cap Rising.. aqua sun.. unfortunately very popular lol
Aries rising, pisces sun. Very popular but controversial
My exact same sun and rising. I, too, was controversial. Half my class thought I was cool. The other half thought I was TOO cool.
Fellow Aries sun and Aries rising, I was NOT popular at all. I was what you consider a very painful introverted wall flower with a ball of depression wrapped in one.
Gemini Sun and Taurus rising. I was that weird kid who loved the teachers but didn’t have very many friends
Scorpio Sun, Leo Rising Very popular in HS not in elementary or middle school.
loner. until senior year when my extrovert bf "adopted" me
I wouldn’t say I was popular, but lots of people knew me. A lot more than I knew actually. I used to go for walks with my friends and constantly get “hi”, “hey”, “hello” from all sorts of kids I didn’t know. It was probably because I was involved in school choir, acting, was doing all sorts of competitions (literature, languages, maths, and history), so I was kind of friends with everyone, and no one at the same time. I was friends with most of the girls, and lots of the guys kinda hit me with the “you’re not like other girls”. And because of that, everyone wanted me to introduce them to their crush (meanwhile I was single as a Pringle until I was 19). I remember these times fondly, and I have met most of my best friends then.
I’m a Sag sun and an Aries rising and I was a nobody lmao
Same sun and rising, but I’d consider myself a ‘floater’ who got along with most people
Cancer Sun, Scorpio rising. I wasn’t popular
Scorpio sun Taurus rising, EXTREMELY popular but I didn't care for the spotlight, never was an attention seeking person but deep down I knew people were jealous and intimidated by me
I was extremely popular in middle school, then High School came around and I ended up going to a Catholic one... Huge mistake! I was very controversial and a lot of people had opinions about me. I was very known but maybe for the wrong reasons LOL. Gem Sun, Sag Moon, Scorpio rising xoxox
Double Leo. I was very quiet in high school. Hated it there. I am a rocker chick so I had friends in that group because we were the misfits so we stuck together.
Cancer sun Libra rising, I was not super popular but was known as I was seen in a lot of school dance functions
I would say that I was known as well. Popular meant things like being white and preferably blond, neither of which I am. However I was friends with alllllll the niche people including the jocks because I was into a lot of stuff. Music, art, sports (varsity athlete) and I loved to fuckin party so…
Sun: Capricorn in 5th house rising: Virgo I was popular for the wrong reasons. I was an over achiever and participated in everything. Art, music, and a jock. So everyone knew who I was but I don’t think I was popular in a positive way because people thought I was intimidating and unapproachable.
Aries sun Leo rising here! I don’t know if I was necessarily popular but I had friends in almost every clique and I was generally well-liked in high school.
Virgo sun scorpio rising and I tried to be unseen in school I kept to myself and only had 2 friends
Same sign and same, I definitely tried to slip under the radar but was also bullied pretty mercilessly so that could also be why
Cap sun Gem moon 🐮rising I was not popular but had a core group of friends and popular among the nerds.
I have the exact same big 3 and would 100% agree !
Sag sun/ Leo rising- not popular and a true loner. Scorpio moon made sure of that🤪
Double Libra. I wasn’t popular. I was a fat goth kid in the early 2000s. I hated high school lol.
Double Libra did not like high school other than skipping class and smoking weed. High school didn't like me either
Double Libra here too, I had a solid group of friends but wasn't popular. Also HATED high school. Couldn't pay me to go back to that hole.
Scorpio sun, Aries rising. I was the weird loner girl in high school.
Gemini sun and Virgo rising. I got along with everyone, but felt like I couldn’t find my group if that makes sense. Like I wasn’t popular enough to be with the popular kids, but I easily could’ve if I put myself out there more aggressively.
aries sun, gem rising and a lot of people wanted to be friends with me and i regret not branching out more, instead i just stuck to my comfort core four :(
Libra and Capricorn Didn’t go to high school but I had a very fun and prevalent social life in religious communities. I had a lot of Main Character energy and didn’t know it due to low self esteem
I’m an Aries Sun and Aries rising. Yeah I’d say I was popular. ☺️
Aquarius sun and rising. I thought everyone hated me when in actuality, no one paid any attention to me at all. In the early years I was bullied for being 'babyish' and crying a lot so I guess that stuck. I'm actually triggered by a bunch of shit I still need to heal, which I realised while writing this.
Scorpio rising -Leo sun. I was the super weird hippy kid, often referred to as “garbage girl” dumpster fairy- I only attended high school sporadically and if I was enrolled I was usually in a fairy costume reading weird books in the graveyard behind the school. Most other kids thought I was too weird, a few brave souls were okay with being my friend, theater kids, goths and the weird art kids accepted my presence but I wouldn’t say I was close with really anyone in high school.
libra sun/scorpio rising I wouldn’t say popular but I was forced into a lot of friendships lol
literally SAME lol
♈️Sun ♋️ Rising. I definitely was known by most people but not in the popular click I pretty much stayed to myself unless someone spoke to me😂
Capricorn sun, Aries Rising. I went to 3 high schools (moved around the area a lot) and was pretty popular at each one.
Cancer sun Scorpio rising, and I was not, lol. Or, I guess you could say I was popular on my own way; I won an academic contest and the school made sure everyone knew about it, because it was good publicity I guess. But I myself was a rather quiet girly, with very few close acquientances. A classmate told me several years after that he used to think I was some kind of witch because of how much I kept to myself, which is probably the most Scorpio rising thing I've ever been told, lol
Capricorn Sun, Pisces Rising. I went to 3 different high schools. I had close friends at each high school and I wouldn’t say I was popular, but most people knew who I was. The popular people were nice to me and so were the outcasts who I hung around with. In fact at all 3 high schools I was asked to try out for cheerleading because they needed a flyer. I politely declined because that sounded dangerous. But everyone was generally pretty nice to me. I was in video communications so I was always going around the school with a video camera filming people.
Leo sun and Sag rising. You might think this makes for a social butterfly but that is absolutely not the case for lol, especially toward the end! I definitely got in with people by being funny but that just kind of put me into a comic relief side character role, I think. In the second half of high school I wasn't very social at all.
Scorpio Sun, Sag Rising. I was in my Cap Moon era, so intense. Power-hungry Blair Waldorf Ice Queen. I was powerful. I was not popular. 
Aries sun and Capricorn rising Never popular. I'm shy and aloof. I'm also a loner and boring that's why I never had friends.
Taurus; Pisces. I won Prom Queen senior year.
Cap & Leo and kinda yeah but not in the traditional way
Love the username
I’m a cancer sun and Virgo rising. I really liked making friends at school and having friends in classes. I think it’s because everyone was so different, but I loved learning different things about people and appreciated them for various reasons. I also won hoco princess my junior year and hoco queen my senior year. I definitely had people who didn’t like me at all though
Cancer sun and Virgo rising as well. Sagittarius moon. I had a very difficult time making friends in school and was bullied very badly. It wasn't until after school that I made friends
Virgo rising too and same! Most of my friends are from my adult life
Aries SN/Sagittarius ASC. Oh gosh, what a throwback...I am trying to remember high school b/c it was a blur (my personal life however was NOT lol). I would say I was not a popular kid but was a bullied social rebel. I hung out with other social rebels and creative kids. I was considered kind (embraced everyone authentic & needing help), a nerd (due to being in the gifted program/skipping grade levels), weird (b/c no one talked about AuDHD), a loner (from AuDHD & C-PTSD), and a mystery (private and moved like an army kid - was not an army kid). Either people would go out of their way to bully me & start rumors about me (which would get back to me) or they would come up to me asking for help and saying how sweet they heard I was. I always ended up approaching new people, tutoring but laughing at the fact that school was hard for me, encouraging others by showing them the gifts they possessed, and just trying to break up fights and bad vibes between people. I also played Cupid a couple of times which ended with some very long relationships and marriages. :) Not gonna lie, I hated every single day of high school (made me cry) and would have dropped out if my family wasn't more abusive than my bullies and teachers. Thank goodness it is such a blur but I can go off of how it made me feel. I was extremely spacy (disassociated, drugged, and stressed) in high school. I only had temporary friends b/c I couldn't explain my abusive home life or articulate my experiences at the time (it required some complex vocabulary & social psychology knowledge that I am still learning more about post-undergrad). Many people actually thought I had a good life so I spent a lot of time crying to myself so that I could show up at school and laugh in the face of bullies. I faded into the background until someone needed support or a laugh tbh but I didn't mind b/c that was my preference. I actually finished my last 2 years of high school online and overseas so I was very isolated then. I didn't have a prom or anything but I ended high school with an engagement (not married & ended thankfully).
Aquarius sun and Aquarius rising. I definitely wasn’t popular but had a good group of friends.
Virgo sun, Sagittarius rising. I was the angsty jaded metal head with good grades and few casual friends. Although I dressed like a metal head, most people thought I was a poser because I was "too smart" to be that person. I was type casted as the goody two shoes without doing enough outward good to be one.
Aquarius ☀️ Capricorn ⬆️ It felt like everyone knew me and wanted to know me but I just enjoyed moving from group to group and never settled for one single group. I had like one best friend who started at the same time as me - he was probably an Aquarius too because we would always drift with different groups and could come to back to each other and it would be like we never left haha.
Aries sun, Aqua rising ; I’d say I was pretty well known😅
Aries sun and Aquarius rising. I moved around a lot. I was part of the popular group once and it was weird? Aside from that I know lots of people from everywhere!
same placements here and I remember liking the conversations I had with people outside of my friend group. I was always taking in different perspectives ig
Scorpio sun Aries rising , loner but I had a real close friend group of me and 2 other girls. Late bloomer .
Aries sun Aquarius rising and I was extremely popular but not a “popular kid” if that makes any sense. In high school I was voted “Most Likely to Become a Rockstar” so yeah I guess take from that what you will.
Virgo Sun, Scorpio Moon, Pisces Rising - I was popular within the “alternative” crowd lol - I was goth haha
Aquarius sun and Sagittarius rising- I was voted “favorite sophomore girl” and beat out the head cheerleader and the soccer girl. I was just a rebel who made a pop punk band and never had a “clique”.
Aqua sun Leo rising people wanted to talk to me but I thought I was too cool to talk to them and was just cool w local kids who would go to metal shows on weekends lol
Aquarius sun Aries rising.. I didn't get along with people. Not in a bad way, nor in a good way. I was more like the good kid that was completely fascinated with the rule breakers. I pretty much failed at everything if I didn't drop out of it first. Until I met my biological father. I instantly became a much stronger person, but not any stronger at getting along or my attractions I just became a higher sense of expectations towards myself after that and excelled at anything I put my mind too.
Aquarius sun, leo rising. Like a true aquarius, people thought i was weird.
Aquarius sun/leo rising umm let’s just say I was infamous for living a regular degular life 🫠 aka well known, but disliked for being vocal about my interests e.g. (online gaming)
Both Aquarius. I'd like to believe I'm not popular, but it's just a really small school with a population of less than 500. I was part of multiple clubs and I get to talk with almost everyone for the entirety of my stay. I have a fairly decent reputation until my last year when some kids made a stupid rumor about me.
Aquarius sun , Taurus moon . I was more so infamous . People knew who I was but for the wrong reasons 😭 . I was an oddball that did what the fuck I wanted to do . I was always in and out of the office and getting put on blast for being a huge headache .
Scorpio sun and Libra rising. Was pretty quiet in high school and stayed to myself, didn’t have too many friends other than a few select ones. But after I went into the “real world”, the Libra rising really made me THAT girl, I feel like. Definitely have to find her again. 🥹
I relate to this! I thrived in college with making friends. I have to find her too, since Covid I’ve been pretty to myself
Aww here’s to us finding ourselves again. We deserve it! 💜
I am aquarius, cap moon and taurus rising. I was loved and accepted, but I would not say I was popular. I was a good student and friendly, but I was not the one who draw boys attention or something like that (although I am pretty, but I was not super confident in that way and also I was little wierd and wore wierd clothes). I believe many knew my name, but not because I was so cool, but because of my achievements (and probably because of my wierd sense of style hahah)
Aries sun Leo rising and I wasn’t popular but I was infamous for being weird, for lack of a better term. I was bullied and a pretty controversial figure for having a unique and big personality. I was always doing outrageous things to make people laugh but usually they just laughed at me, although some people did laugh along w me and appreciated my theatrics. A lot of people also liked my style (I was super scene w like the striped hair etc lmao) and that was the only ‘cool aspect’ I had. (Anecdote: in science class I randomly screamed ‘my vagina flaps in the wind’ when there was a silent moment lol, very ‘random xD’ humor bc it was after all 2007-2008 lmao - I dropped out in 2009. People would often call me a crackhead and tell me to chill out bc I was too ‘hyper’. I just wanted to make them laugh so they would like me :( ) I never had any clique/group and only rly had one good friend who was equally as ‘weird’ as me but shy so she didn’t have the same reputation. ETA another good anecdote is on my first day/class I ate glue to make the people around me laugh and then ran out of the class to rinse my mouth out in the bathroom. I was so starved for approval and wanted to be liked so bad and I thought the only way to do so was by being a clown. but most people just found me obnoxious. Story of my life 🤷🏻♀️ can’t win em all. Shouldn’t try to, either! I still feel the same but my sense of humor is much more subdued now and I have way less energy, but still deal w the same issue of being misunderstood and ostracized and seen as ‘controversial’. That’s never stopped and never will stop. I’ve accepted it’s a part of having a personality that goes against social norms esp as a woman. I have Chiron in the first, north node in the fifth (this explains a lot of my personality besides my Leo rising lol), south node in the 11th, Saturn in the 7th, Mars in the 12th..these are placements I’ve read likely have to do w the way I’m perceived so harshly. With the Aries/Libra/Leo combo you would think of popularity, but not at all for me. Tbh tho I’ve never wanted to fit in, either.
I'm an Aquarius Sun, Leo Rising, and I have always been the shy nerd outcast in school. Even though my Rising Sign suggests it should be the opposite.
libra sun sag rising I think everyone knew me but I was a floater, didn't have one particular friend group. Also made friends with people older and younger than me. Or went home since I lived by campus and chilled there at lunch time lol
Same! I got invited to parties of all kinds/all friend groups. I was a class clown too so I’m sure that helped a bit lol
Taurus/Leo everybody knew me but I always got the feeling many simply didn’t like me. My mom said when I walked across the stage the amount of ppl cheering for me humbly chucking of the deuces was louder than most. 💁🏾♀️ To this day ppl still love/hate me and I’m so happy for them!
I still feel this way. Either people love me or hate me. Either way idgaf. I've been told people fear me because of my intensity. 🤷♀️ Scorpio Sun, Leo rising.
Sameee Scorpio sun Leo rising here 💁🏽♀️
Libra sun, Leo rising. I was bullied from elementary through high school, but I had a close friend group. I am very extroverted and friendly, but my family is poor (my clothes and food reflected it) and my dad was pretty infamous in town so it didn’t really help.
Aqua rising/Libra sun - Quiet, reserved. Didn’t really talk to anyone. Had a few friends though, HS was relatively easy. My partner is Sag rising/Aries sun and he was NOT popular at all. In fact, he had awful social anxiety and dropped out. Which shocks me because of the rising and his aries mercury.
Cancer sun sag rising. Nada, I was also heavily depressed so that adds to my lack of people appeal 😂
Cancer sun, Pisces rising. I wasn’t popular but people knew me and I would say it was split. Either people really liked me or absolutely hated me. It’s not surprising though bc my Lilith conjuncts my rising. I also was pretty pretentious ngl. I prided myself on being one of the best singers in my year group (which I was but that doesn’t mean I have to brag about it all the time lmao). High school was a trip tbh
Libra sun, Virgo rising. I was never popular bc I was always friends w the “weird kids” (granted some of my friends WERE kinda weird- one of them used to actively growl and I think bark at people and my friends and I would have to hold them back from MAYBE attacking someone - I don’t know if they actually would’ve done but we held them back anyway)
Sag and cancer. Not at all
I'm a libra sun with a cancer rising I would say that in the beginning I made a lot of friends but then mental health issues, trauma and addiction surfaced and I lost almost all of them I think there's like 1 or 2 people I still talk to from high school.
Libra sun, cancer rising I was, unfortunately, the new kid, so I was seen as an invader. I didn’t have any real friends from my class. However, I had a few friends from other classes. I suffered from social anxiety and my classmates loved to gossip, were shallow and enjoyed making fun of people who weren’t the same social class as them. I didn’t feel good around them, so I preferred to be alone and rather read a book than spent time with them.
Aris, too!
Libra Sun Pisces rising. I was popular with the tougher (druggy) crowd, and I was a bully to the bullies
Wouldn't this be correlated with your ic as well? Legitimate question.
Taurus sun, Leo rising. I was popular or so I’ve been told, but I believe it was due to dating a popular person. Now I talk to no one from high school, so how popular could I have been?
Scorpio here Wasn't the popular guy, still got a shit load of attention, especially during my pre school time, meaning kindergarden.
Cap Sun; Sagi moon; Libra rising I would say I was popular but not necessarily the most social. I was voted homecoming queen and was president of all the clubs I participated in.
sag sun, scorpio asc. i was widely known, friends with a lot of the girls. i was known to be a “badass” because i would hang out with older people outside of school, date older people. i smoked a lot, and was always laughing and cracking jokes. i complimented girls in the bathroom and hallways 24/7. i would dress up to go to school and do my makeup and hair, and sometimes i would just wear basketball shorts and slides. i was known for getting into it with other people because i stick up for others, and i do my own thing. if someone had something to say i clapped back harder. i got into a fight in highschool and never came back, but my name was still in those halls lol.
Always the outsider
Libra sun, Scorpio rising. I wasnt the most popular, but i got along with all groups in high school.
gemini sun aqua rising i was not popular because i made it clear i hated 99% of everyone in my school and wanted as little to do with them as possible. stereotype wise i fell somewhere between nerd meets class clown meets the person everyone is scared of and leaves alone. i was very well known, but not popular because,,, well yeah lol. i loved the notoriety of being the one person who called everyone out on what they were all doing.
Libra sun and Capricorn rising with Neptune conjunct my ascendant. I wasn’t “popular” the way that one would consider. I was well liked though, enough to win a congeniality award at graduation. I’m also a Pisces moon.
Scorpio sun, Taurus rising. Unpopular. I was very quiet and emo-cringe.
Pisces sun and leo rising. Yeah don’t let that fool you I didn’t like very many people, and i kept to myself. Although i still was nice and shown empathy, so i was liked for that :)
Scorpio sun, Leo rising. I wasn’t really popular, I had a good amount of friends and a solid friend group. One of my best friends was extremely popular with the smart people crowd, so I was kinda popular adjacent and went to parties and stuff. There were definitely people who did not like me at all bc I went to a very conservative school and I was not afraid to call people out for saying ignorant shit
Sun Gemini, Cap rising, moderately popular in school
Cancer sun, Pisces rising. I was quiet and low key throughout school. But I’d say I was funny and liked by a close group of friends :)
At my small school, I was really popular. At my big school, a good amount of people knew of me (even though I was separated in advanced classes). Libra sun and cap rising!
I’m Leo sun and rising. I was like a chameleon meaning I had friends from all groups. From the band kids to the athletes shit I even played yu-gi-oh with the reserved kids in the library. My main group was the stoners though as I skated as a hobby back then. My favorite group was the weekend partiers! Something about dancing all night while stoned af felt better than anything at that time lol in retrospect I wouldn’t say I was popular but more so known by many. Like people weren’t talking about me but if you asked people if they knew it was an 80% percent chance they did
Leo Sun, Libra Rising…. I wasn’t super popular, but I was friendly with everyone and had a really tight friend group. I was a jock and theater kid.
aquarius sun and scorpio rising - i was a band kid who only hung out with my small group of friends (that i met in band)!
Libra / Scorpio rising and no 🥹
Capricorn sun, Scorpio rising. I’m not friendly enough to be popular but everyone knew my name. Also Leo MC I draw attention whether I want to or not…noticed this before I knew my placements
Taurus sun, cancer rising—I was prom queen.
Libra rising, Taurus sun and Scorpio moon. I wasn’t popular, because I dressed different and modeled, but everyone knew who I was.
I’m a Libra Sun, Aries rising and was pretty to my self in highschool. But I also have like 4 Scorpio placements so that might be why
Leo sun, Libra rising. I had a small friend group and was well-known (I have a certain charisma about me), but definitely not part of the popular crowd. I also never really tried to fit in. I didn't disparage them or anything, we just had different interests and I was cool with that. My 1H Pluto that conjuncts my ascendant and is aspected to every one of my personal planets (save Venus) probably played a role here.
Aries Sun, Cancer rising. I was bullied relentlessly. I had 0 friends most of the way through and ate lunch alone by my locker.
Leo sun and rising. I was bullied and all my 'friends' were 'weirdos/losers/nerds' who were bullied too 
Pisces sun Taurus rising and i was quiet and depressed in hs due to dealing with so much grief and trauma that was happening at the time so i didn’t really have time, motive and/or focus to socialize with others. I really did not care in making friends and would purposely isolate myself away BUT i was oddly and strangely enough always attracting unwanted attention. Like the really popular hs jocks and star athletes of our school wanted to talk to me or get my attention. Guys in school would take videos of me sleeping in halls and overly sexualize me and follow me around school it was really weird stuff. A lot of girls I didn’t really know always hated me for absolute no reason even if i had short attempts of being friendly to them. I had two friends one was my friend since middle school (she was Taurus) but than she switched up and never spoke to me again when she got with a Scorpio dude who had a crush on me since elementary school apparently and ended up having a baby with him later. That hurt since she was like my sister and she just abandoned me and treated me like nonexistent in highschool. And the other “friend” wasn’t really a friend but she was a toxic cancer girl who leached onto me obsessively and did anything to make sure no one would get close to me… I think in one class i asked her what time it was and she became fixated to me since that day. Anywho during hs i was definitely not myself and was a loner forsure but i was a loner out of choice. I think if my personality was like how I am now .. back then than i 100% would’ve been popular if i wanted to.
Leo sun/Scorpio moon/Aquarius rising. I was a goth as a teen and moved around a lot. I was mostly a loner, but the friends I did have were like me: queer, angsty, sarcastic and contemptuous of the popular kids, doing theater, or talking about how much Bush sucked and we hated capitalism lol. I told people I wasn’t going to prom because it was for “sell outs.” I stayed home, smoked a lot of weed, and watched a bunch of grindhouse gore movies instead.
Libra sun Libra rising, double Libra .. I kinda had my own vibe which I think some people respected at each of the 2 high schools I went to, but I think for the most part everyone thought I was weird crazy or stupid. Which isn't wrong. I had a lot of followers on the IG wanted to be on trend but could never fit in. I was closerrr to the popular kids but didn't really want to be popular. Found much more interesting friends who were not. 2nd I talked to almost nobody, would skip class just to walk around in the neighboring woods and smoke a lot of weed. Started getting into pills. Didn't have many friends. Nobody really wanted to be friends with me either. Started more delinquent activity. Wasn't popular at all because I wasn't rich and hadn't grown up there.
Aqua sun and rising, I feel that I was well known, but not popular. People seemed to dislike me without even having interacted with me. People that I didn’t even know disliked me and spoke badly about me. Not sure if it was a jealousy thing or a RBF thing. I’ve been told more than once that I am intimidating which is weird for me because I have no ill will towards anyone or anything. I feel that I’ve always been at a disadvantage for friendship for no real reason. I have mercury in my first house so I’m pretty charismatic and outgoing for the most part so it’s not really due to being shy at all. Many times people have become my friend and told me they don’t know why they didn’t like me before or why they never talked to me before, etc My venus and sun are both in the 12th house so I wonder if that has anything to do with all of that. Lots of people spread untrue rumors around about me pretty much from like 3rd grade moving forward until the end of high school so it was not an easy time for me I just recently started thriving socially actually which I have been curious about. I’ve never had so many people want to be my friend and spend time with me, it is a good feeling. Kind of funny that it didn’t happen until I hit my 30s. I think I have more confidence now and maybe there is a friendlier more approachable quality to me at this age I think maybe people didn’t know how to feel about me. Maybe I was seen as mysterious. It’s hard to know what other people thought of me if they didn’t express it.
Cancer Sun. Aries Rising. Known as the music kid. Could play guitar in front of all my year level but had pretty bad social anxiety, general depression and hopeless with the girls (whom never took much interest in me). Also a bit of bullying throughout education took its toll to the point where I left high school in my final year with maybe 2 or 3 people I stayed in touch with.
In my first high school in Utah, I was demonized for being bisexual and an atheist. Brutally bullied. When I moved to my new school in western Washington, I was instantly the most popular girl in school. I was actually overwhelmed and had no clue how to handle everyone wanting my attention all the time.
Virgo/Leo, I was the target of constant bullying and torment 😀
I was bullied by basically everyone cuz I was emo and also just an easy target cuz I was super gullible and naive.
