I feel like this is my Gemini Ascendant manifested.. Or maybe it's all my air?

Examples of hypocrisy: someone claiming to be a vegan and promoting it as an obligatory ethical lifestyle who eats whoppers in private because they're so damn good, a politicians saying homosexuality is immoral that will bring God's wrath on this nation yet looks for gay sex on craigslist, a girl who has butt sex with a guy she barely knows on a regular basis who calls other girls ****** for having sex with someone after an enduring relationship that takes it to the next level (there was a woman who admitted she did this as a teen girl), a serial cheater who promotes monogamy as the only acceptable paradigm, a dysfunctional alcoholic who believes "drug addicts" (not including alcoholics, despite that the reason he gives could easily be applied to his exception/alcohol) should be executed, or a "nature lover" who promotes protection of the natural world while tossing lit cigarettes from his Land Rover as he drives through the woods, and so on.

What I DON'T consider a hypocrite is someone who doesn't express all his/her views because they know it would create pointless conflict and drama, or by being diplomatic--if one wants to state their thoughts or otherwise not be diplomatic but they restrain those urges because it's inappropriate, then that is inner conflict and impulse control, but not hypocrisy. To become hypocrisy, one must state that everyone should speak their mind at all times, to hell with the consequences (which strikes me as a stupid thing to promote, and most would consider that rude at best). And even in the case of say a vegan who eats meat because s/he is scared of offending the company they're with, that's still not hypocrisy (assuming this is rare and fills the person with guilt, but this can easily enter into gray territory), but rather spinelessness.

- Someone claiming to be religious and kind to everyone (something like the Second Coming)... while actually being an abuser and rapist. (Neptune ALL over!)

- Someone claiming to be extremely honest and harping on and on about the philosophical importance of complete and utter honesty - whilst persistently lying to people about any number of things (Again Pisces/Neptune! Tell me you haven't met one!)

I consider hypocrisy to be lower on the morality scale than lying - the liar knows what he is doing and he has a clear purpose, but the hypocrite doesn't see that he is really lying to himself.

So yes - from my POV... the negativity that comes with hypocrisy falls under Pisces/Neptune 100%...
I honestly can't imagine any other sign being hypocritical to that extent.

I don't know enough Pisces (or like enough of them, oddly) to decipher whether the Sun sign in itself is hypocritical.

In my opinion, everyone can be hypocritical, just as everyone can be subjective based on their perceptions of the world, etc.

I know that I often don't practice what I preach (not deliberately), and when I realize as much, I apologize and acknowledge it.

But then, I have NN in Sag.

My aunt is an Aries, and she is one of the most sanctimonious, hypocritical people I've ever met.

A Capricorn lectured me on manners, whilst not treating me with even the basic respect that any human being deserves. I was physically attacked, as well.

I personally believe that everyone is hypocritical, in their own ways. Because until your perspective is broadened, you may not realize that you've been a hypocrite.

I agree with you, and was going to add that to my post.

I tend to associate this more with how we choose to conduct ourselves as human beings, rather than our Sun signs.

I have heavy Neptune in my chart, but I also have Saturn trine Sun in natal, among other placements.

I can't generalize in this sense, as far as Sun/Moon placements, because there are always exceptions to the rule, in both directions.

I would say Gemini Moons, but then I've been around some really upfront Gemini Moons who are able to acknowledge their own part in things.

So...people can always surpass expectations, or lag behind.

Well, that's weird. What is her sign/placements, if you don't mind my asking?

For instance, lying is very commonplace... and we all lie, in some shape or form.

I guess so...

My brain is wired all funny, so I do start criticizing certain things or laughing about them, without noticing or caring that I am guilty of the same thing. Because if I think of myself doing it, it's not funny anymore, it's either sad or a realization that people are all similar.

I have conflicting desires from all the squares in my chart. Along with a Pisces moon square Neptune. I don't consider myself as cohesively representing one ideology or one set of principles, I just kinda make stuff up as I go along and hope it flies.

Meh. I don't have an exact definition. But I dislike it in its manifestations. I recoil from it in myself and in others, and always have.
