Lovers all use the same script
when they play their final scene

"Well we almost made it, didn't we?
It's really better this way
I'll call you someday"
after a love affair ends
and they know it's time they parted

With you, it was
"Can't we be friends?"

"Friends?"

That's how the whole thing started!

old chum, old pal, old Water Bearer buddy of mine
my comical, blundering, lost and lonely Valentine

BTW, it's from her book, "Venus Trines at Midnight", a worthy purchase for your collection.

Thanks for that. God, that poem IS fitting. I have that book btw. Aqua #1 and I can never be friends. I liken the ending of our tumultous four year affair to giving up a drug or alcohol addiction. I can't have any contact with him. One phone call from him always ends up with us in bed. I'm OVER it. I'm at a place in my life where I want stability in love. I want consistency.

And here I've gone and flipped for another Aquarian. It must be my venus, mars, and mercury in the eleventh house. I can't get enough of them. They are so WEIRD, which completely FASCINATES my curious Gemini mind. I LOVE their intelligence. It all about the size of a man's brain for me.

It amazes though the similarities between my first Aqua and my second Aqua. They both have Libra rising, Venus in Capricorn and Mercury in Aquarius, they also both have Mars in fire signs. They even have the same LOOK.

The huge difference is #2 is very commited and makes me the center of his universe. #1 loved me, but loved his job and family (mother, sisters) more. He only made time for me about twice a month.

#2 supports me, nutures me and is there EVERY step of the way. He is my foundation and makes me feel safe in the world. #1 had his moon in Libra...#2 has his moon in Capricorn. I have Capricorn on the Seventh house cusp...

I'm busily packing for my move to San Juan as I write this...I'm chomping at the bit to get there...he wanted me to come earlier...but with this retrograde...I told him we have to hold off until our original date of May 1.

Ahhhhh.

And I like a man's brain, but somehow I don't think my brain is what causes me to get tangled up over an Aquarius every once in a while. They can be awfully charming and sexy without trying.

I love that poem. Love Linda's humor so much.

MercurialMisfit -

That is so cool about those two Aqua's being so similar!! I've have a few of those similar energies in my life too, and they DO tend to have the same looks, or demeanor/inflections. It's so cool. Sometimes I think that as far as love, I'm on a mission to narrow it down from all these like energies. Are you moving to San Juan Puero Rico?

Natasha -

My 11th is empty, with Pisces there > Neptune's in Scorpio in the 6th. Libra guy DOES have some Scorpio overtones about him, and he's very meticulous.

Libra guy has 11th empty, with Scorpio there > his Pluto's in Libra in the 9th. I'm Libra. Sometimes I think a girl with some Sag in her would top me, but it's also true I have some Sag overtones. I've also been told I'm going through a Sagitarrius phase in my life.

I can't remember this second exacty where that came from, but something to do with astrology. Regardless, I'm always up for traveling and high learning. ALWAYS. Maybe due to my Jupiter & Saturn in Capricorn in the 9th.

Yep Astro Junkie- I'm moving to San Juan, Puerto Rico. It's going to be quite an adventure. I don't speak Spanish, I don't have a job lined up... but somehow I think it will all work out. I am going to there to learn about life and love, more than I am to work. I've always avoided intimacy...and here I am at the drop of a hat running off with my dashing Aqua man. It's like Natasha said in another thread- we are meant to learn something together. Everyday he is teaching me that I can be loved as I am. I have always felt I had to be 'perfect' to be loved. This was reinforced by Aqua #1. It I wasn't in a knockout dress, with hair and makeup perfect- he wouldn 't give me the time of day. Aqua #2 is the opposite. He's teaching me everyday that I am FINE. He's healing me...and helping me heal me.

I noticed I have Uranus Trine my Ascendant...maybe yet another signifier of my attraction to Aquas.
