It's so long since I thought about this (post is from 2007) but I guess we each see the characters differently according to our own astrological makeup.<br />Also, even if Scarlett had Sun in Aries, she could easily have had Mercury and/or Venus in Taurus, or if her Sun was in Taurus, she could have had Mercury and/or Venus in Aries. There's the matter of natal Moon and rising sign too to consider. Sun sign alone can be misleading, even though it's a common "shorthand" method of sizing someone up. :)Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-33367949452551436762018-02-28T15:39:24.375-06:002018-02-28T15:39:24.375-06:00I thought Scarlett was a Taurus...I thought Scarlett was a Taurus...Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03866472655164845257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-74553667303699822482012-08-21T09:55:36.110-05:002012-08-21T09:55:36.110-05:00Anonymous ~~ Hi again!

This would explain the strong Aries (Scarlet) to Ashley (Aries) connection?: <br />This is a strong position for Venus, for it adds charm to your personality and gives you an amiable and pleasant disposition.<br />You concentrate a great deal on your appearance and even if you are not especially beautiful or handsome, you have a quality of softness and friendliness, which endears you to many.<br />You like to keep beauty and grace around you as much as possible. You have a strong affinity with nature and prefer the quiet life of the country to the plastic constructions of city life.<br />It is likely that you grew up in an atmosphere of warmth and congeniality. Now it is easy for you to project these same feelings to family and friends, and others often count on you to restore peace in difficult situations.<br />You have strong inclinations toward music, art and drama and you may wish to cultivate a form of artistic expression.<br />You work very hard to get along with others, and you usually try to win arguments with diplomacy rather than force. You must learn to be self-assertive when necessary and to stand up for your own rights, forcefully if need be. Otherwise, people will not have much respect for you.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-11480987331643233992012-08-20T07:53:25.327-05:002012-08-20T07:53:25.327-05:00Anonymous ~~~ hi there!

Thanks for stopping by and commenting.<br /><br />Ashley, if born 14 or 15 April would have definitely had Sun in Aries, though Mercury and Venus, maybe other planets could easily have been in Taurus lending a different "feel" to his nature.<br />He maybe had Pisces rising or Moon in Pisces. No person fully embodies their Sun sign, we're an amalgam of stuff from all planetary positions and aspects.<br /><br />:-) <br /><br />Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-86212814802314282162012-08-19T20:10:05.506-05:002012-08-19T20:10:05.506-05:00I would think Ashley was a Pices too, but the book...I would think Ashley was a Pices too, but the book says otherwise.

I think Rhett Butler is a Scorpio.<br /><br />I also think that Ashley is too idealistic and dreamy...I think he's more of a Pisces. It would also make more sense when he says that he and Melanie are so much alike since Pisces and Cancer are both water signs.<br /><br />I don't think anyone can disagree that Scarlett is an Aries, although when I first saw it, I thought she was a Scorpio.

He is too introspective to be a Leo (no offense-married to one), he had too much insight into the psychological aspects of human behavior/motivations of the people around him and he was in touch with the darkside (sinner or saint) he was a sinner, unpopular and most of all could read between the lines of the darker side of life. Not idealistic. Usually scorpio men are very intelligent...sorry he is Scorpio. Ashley is in fairly land (idealist-Aquarius)and absolutely NOT scorpio not even a grey lizard. Most of all Rhett was a devoted, protective father and could care less about anyone who didn't like him other than the ones he loved. If you know scorpio men, fidelity is a big deal breaker. In the second movie, Scarlett, he could never sever his bond of love for her and realizes its hopeless. He will always love her and rushes to her aid in Ireland to save her. In the end he rises like an eagle to forgive her and win his love back.
