Totally makes sense! Years ago, an astrologer told me that women grow into their sun signs, that we're more like our moon signs in childhood through our 30s, but are more like our sun signs after 40. I don't know if it happened exactly at 40, but it did take decades for me to grow into my sun sign (Cancer). Now I'm the biggest Hermit Crab there ever was.

I wrote an astrology column for a weekly newspaper for 7 years, and do charts and forecasts... and yet when someone asks me to guess their (sun) sign, it usually takes 12 tries. The public self that we present to others is usually our rising sign, so maybe that's the sign I'm actually guessing. Or maybe I'm just a crappy astrologer
