hmm…nope. no clique here. i’m a loner first (neptune). and then i like deep one on one interaction (scorpio). and most importantly i like the freedom to move between different folks at different times (aquarius)

I avoid. 11th House Uranus conjunct MC, opposed Sun. I’ve left several groups over the years because I tend to feel trapped. I aspire to be both humanitarian and egalitarian…

I also come from a large family; we can be pretty tribal in our way of thinking and I try to escape that too (obviously–I left home at 16). Uranus/Moon.

I would prefer to be alone. I do very well with groups of people I DON’T know, but large groups of people I do know inevitably put me on edge and I have to take leave.

I belong to a group, but it’s a very open group and people drift in and out as it suits them.

Mercury chart ruler, Gemini rising, Sagittarius moon, I’m not going to be stuck anywhere for any amount of time.

But I have Cancer planets – and they like having an inner circle.

If I were to chose between these two options I’d probably pick sitting at the fixed table. When I’m in a group I usually make friends with a few people and hang out with them. I’m open to talking with anyone and I won’t shy away from a conversation, so really anyone can join “the clique”. I simply feel safer in this small circle I made and I’m not so extroverted to try and meet everyone. But those who I do hang with, them I usually know very well.

Although, sometimes this all fails and I just let my Gemini Moon loose. Depends on the vibe the whole group has. If I feel it’s unsafe, slightly hostile or distanced… I just mimick that or do as I said above.Or leave.

It’s super interesting to watch group dynamics. I am a cross-pollinator, lol. I do have people in the group who I particularly enjoy but I’m still want to mix!

This past summer, I started dipping my toes again with a clique I haven’t seen in several years. 12H Pluto in Libra secretly wants to belong, but 1H Sadge Sun, 1H Uranus, and 5H Aries Moon wants to go her own way.

So, I like belonging in groups, as long as I feel like I can come and go as I please, no fences.

I’d definitely be a flutterer at those meetings, Elsa.

I’m the person who finds a spot & stays there. I welcome (almost) anyone to sit around me & will have a great time chatting with new friends or old. But I don’t move. Capricorn Sun trine Taurus Moon, but Jupiter on Aries Asc?

I’ve always liked clubs, bars, cafes etc where I know people, often over very many years – and there are always distinct groups within them. I’ve often been on the fringes of most of these – I get invited to people’s dinners and parties etc – but within those groups I’m never ‘core’ and like Chelley I tend more to stay separate (quite often at the end of the bar!) and let who will, come to me.

It’s a quite complex dynamic in fact: I’m a kind of gregarious loner. I have Libra, and Cancer in H11, so I’m a social being… but I hate feeling trapped or pigeonholed: Uranus in Gem conjunct MC
I used to get mad when anyone referred to one group I hung out with quite a bit as ‘my gang’ – No!

No. I’m not into the rules that cliques lay down; I do my own thing, and others are welcome on my trip, if they like the path I’m taking.

11H ruled by Aquarius; Venus conjunct Uranus and Pluto; Aries rising.

Thank you Elsa ~ x

I don’t fit into cliques…never have. In the past when I’ve worked hard to ingratiate myself with groups, like the Liberal Democrat Party, they only let me in so far.

I can relate to Tom Cruise’s character in Eyes Wide Shut; they let you into their world, but you will never be one of them + they will never accept you.

I’m not bothered. I love my individuality.

I too have mercury/jupiter I prefer to circulate. Plus my chiron is in h11 ruled by saturn using traditional rulerships. Mostly I just don’t fit in, uranus is in leo in house 5.

Hi, I’m hermie and I want to be a dentist, not exactly what a toy maker is suppose to be.

I can’t see myself joining a group, as in a community type of thing. But I’ve been in group settings like bowling leagues and such.
Anything too regular starts to freak me out and begins to feel like work (Uranus H6)?
Having said that, within the confines of my life, I do stick to my tribe and I rarely go any place without someone else, or without the knowledge that someone is meeting me there. My dogs even come into the bathroom with me, and wait while I shower. I think of this as Libra Moon.

During times of particularly low self-esteem I’ve found myself getting sucked into cliques. It sounds weird but that’s exactly how it felt. I felt trapped and miserable being in a clique, like I couldn’t talk to other cool, interesting people because I would get ‘judged’ because the clique didn’t think they were up to par. Like being in prison/hell on earth.

saturn in the 11th…

Cliques are not my scene–I’m too Uranusy. Aquarius rising, Uranus in 5th conjunct Venus, can’t breathe if just ‘fitting in’. I tend to be a trendsetting Moon in Leo, but inconsistent. Pioneering, adventurous, Aries Sun in restless 3rd house, explores new paths and welcomes others along, but then suddenly I need a new track and disappear for awhile to reappear reinvented. Jupiter squares the restless sun, Neptune trines Venus so prefer past life cronies, Pluto squares mercury exact so don’t lay ANY trips on me. ‘Don’t fence me in’ people aren’t clique material.

Cliques are the story of my life! I’ ve been encountering them all over in Athens, Greece (where I live) – on both my professional and social life. The professional cliques are composed of rather mediocre (or even untalented) people who know they cannot make it otherwise in their profession unless they become part of a clique and indirectly “rise” through it, achieve high posts and wages through it etc. The professional cliques act immoraly, they step over and “trample” people, they violently marginilize the worthy ones etc. The social cliques are mostly composed of narrow-minded, insecure people who want to exert control over their social environment and avoid any new – threatening to them – experience!
