I have a friend who is an Aquarius but I am starting to think he is a workaholic. Let me tell you why I think so.

I wanted to go for coffee with him sometime soon to catch up on old times but he can't meet me anytime soon as he has a heck of a lot of work to do (or so he claims).
I can understand his reasoning but the thing is that he has done this in the past but this time I am abit p**d off and upset about it. He is not one to lie so I do believe him but surely he can make time to meet his friends and to chat?

So I am beginning to think is he a workaholic(he works 7 days a week), or am I being irrational?
All I know about his astrological signs is he is an Aquarius.

I don't know Aquarians who are workaholics. But there is Always an exception to the rule...
Why don't you offer him to go out for a film or playing Strike, or exhibition or...riding. All these thinks will be interesting for him.Drinking coffee is too ordinary for Aquarius...
Hope it'll work.good luck!

Hey Yang!!
Not sure about Aqua suns being workaholic, but I know Capricorns and Scorpios can sometimes be very single minded in working and not playing lol! Although Aqua is a fixed sign so once it gets started on something it wont stop till its done.
For example my brother is a Aqua/Cappy Scorp rising and when he puts his head down to work he dosnt stop for anything!!! Really!!!
Im sure he is working hard and not just making exuses! How about just trying for the weekend? He should probably have more free time around then?
Hey!! So what happened with that lovely girl you met at a party a while ago!! (I think she was a Capricorn?!)

So.. in my friends and relations, My one friend who is aquarius works hard and full when he works, but he knows how to spend his leisure time.
My father in law works more now that he is retired than when he had his regular job.
He works all the time and is never afraid of committing himself to a project.
I don't know if he is a product of his generation. His workaholic tendancies have rubbed off on his only child, my husband...... but then again, he is an Aries Sun, Capricorn Moon. He has maybe one day off a week, but if they call him in, he's there.
I appreciate it come bill-time.. plus, I adore alone time. It keeps me loving and missing him, when I am super busy and he is super busy, you just want to spend time together when you can carve it out.

One thing I can say for most Aqua guys I've met, they have a unique translation as to what the word "work" means.

My husband's a workaholic-y Aqua, but with these caveats:

* He grew up the son of a Cancer Sun, Cappie Moon, Virgo Asc Army Colonel.

* His Moon's in Taurus in the 6th and he has a Scorp Asc.

* His NN's in Cancer in the 8th...making his SN in Cappie in the 2nd.

* He has 10 million Saturn, Pluto, and Mars contacts in his chart
(no, really...ok, maybe not quite that many...
Saturn Conjunct Pluto
Moon Opposition Pluto
Sun Square Pluto
Venus Trine Pluto
Mars Trine Pluto
Neptune Sextile Pluto
Pluto Sextile Midheaven
Moon Opposition Saturn
Sun Square Saturn
Mars Trine Saturn
Saturn Sextile Midheaven
Mars Square Ascendant
Mars Square Uranus
Mars Square Jupiter
Moon Sextile Mars
Mars Sextile Neptune)
and a bunch of Taurus Moon contacts as well (some of them already being listed).

So, eh...I guess the answer to your question is that it depends on the Aqua.
This may or may not hold true for all Waterbearers, but the ones that I've known will really, really get into whatever they're "into" - and if that's work/their job or whatever gain they garner from that, then they may be considered workaholics.

Hello Yang,

With Aquarius' I don't think it's a matter of them being workaholics per se but more like that they have their time fixed. Aquarius is a fixed sign and they are organizers so they can sometimes be creatures of habit having a set routine from day to day. But Aquarius' also are open to fun. Like windy said, maybe you should invite your Aqua friend out to a concert or maybe instead of coffee, go to a really nice restaurant that's a bit intimate so you both can spend some quality time together and can catch up on each other's lives.
Being that this Aquarius works seven days a week, I'm sure by the end of the week they're completely tuckered out both mentally and physically so when and if you can make plans with him/her don't pressure them in any way just wait it out, your moment will come!

They are fixed ppl. Once they decide to put
their all into something they basically swing that way. The ones that I know do work alot. With some of them once they decide to kick back and get into a relationship they kind of chill back and balance it all. They atleast try. Some of them can't do both..

Thanks guys for your reply.

Whether I ask him out to a movie or concert or whatever, it will be the same. Meaning, he won't be able to go.
But I have come to realise I have to be patient with him as the time will come to be together as this cannot go on forever, if you know what I mean.

So I look forward to when we will meet somewhere and discuss about our lives.

OH MAN! His Natal MOON is in the 6th with his Chiron? (I think I stumbled across something my dear ...)

Moon in the 6th -

"KEYWORDS: Work security.

Means that, as a very helpful person you like to make yourself indispensable through being of service. You are excellent at tuning in to the physical needs of others, and generally happy take on a lot of tasks - both in your career and around the house. If you are not careful however, other people will take advantage of you. You may be reluctant to say no because of your dependence on the goodwill of others. You may also waste too much energy on menial tasks, thus getting distracted from the broader visions in your life. As you are very sensitive to your working environment, you tend to worry too much about how other people are feeling. Learn to tune in to your own needs, so that you can set limits in relation to the imagined demands of others."

"Chiron in the 6th -

You can always help (or teach) co-workers do the job better than you can do it. Perhaps you are a whiz at helping everyone else get healthy (the 6th house rules health) while you still smoke and eat junk food. Learn to take care of yourself every now and then. Sometimes it works out in the opposite fashion. Someone with a 6th house Chiron might demand that everyone else serve them, and they are usually never satisfied. Of course, obviously, this causes problems too. And oh yes, let us not forget the tendency toward eating disorders. This can also manifest as strange likes and dislikes in the food department."


AND

"Here, there is usually a deep need for healing and integration of the self due to a nagging sense of lack of wholeness. You may feel as though things are wrong with you that can never be fixed, never healed...that you are somehow imperfectly made. The link between emotions and physical health is unusually strong. Control and an inability to feel secure in delegation of responsibility is another issue to be dealt with. Exercise and dietary regimes may be rigidly ordered and adhered to, but no matter what seems to get fixed, you are not satisfied. Health and healing will be important matters, and in your search for self-healing you will be drawn to help others, and teach them to help themselves with what you have learned.

By honestly and sincerely listing the areas of yourself and your life in which you feel you are whole, healed, and integrated, and then listing the things that you think are not right with you, then, for each item on the list, note the ways in which it is helping you to evolve, grow and heal, you will come to realise a profound connection with all life.

Chiron's gift to you here lies in a deep understanding of healing. The acknowledgement of a Universal plan that goes beyond the limited earthly view - the unveiling of the perfection of existence that all things serve the divine plan."

Hey ya'll,

My Aqua has his sun, mercury and venus in his 10th house. Mars, jupiter, saturn and pluto in his 6th. He's going to be commissioned into the Marines this July. That is, after he graduates with his two majors and minor (Aerospace Engineering and Astro Physics, minor in Philosophy). So yeah, this one can be very into what he's doing

aj - You certainly did indeed stumble across something

Three examples (of many) from his life and personality which ring true to what you've found:

- He's currently on "funeral detail" for the US Army (he's one of the soldiers graveside at a military funeral firing a rifle, folding the flag, and handing it to the wife/mother/etc of the deceased...he's actually on one right now). It's a hard, demanding job - I'd say that he's gone five out of every seven nights, finding his way to places flung across Alabama, the Panhandle of Florida, and into Mississippi - but it's one that he could get out of if he really wanted. The alternative, however, would be sitting around the company area, taking calls and being a general gopher for higher ranking officers. Though it's hard on him in many ways, he likes performing his current service - he feels like he's needed and that he's undertaking an indispensable and valued task. He feels like he's making a difference to the people he sees each day, and that truly makes him happy.

- He doesn't like the *texture* of onions, garlic, and peppers. The tastes're fine, in moderation, anyhow. The *textures* get to him...to the point where he won't eat a dish if he can see those ingredients in it.
Tomatoes, too (but ketchup's fine).
That's so odd to me.
So, so odd - especially since I was raised on flavorful, tomato-filled pastas and big pieces of garlic-smothered, crusty bread.
Makes cooking dinner fun, too.
Let's just say that I've stocked up on powders...and've learned that if you puree 'em enough, he has no idea

- His stomach is super-easily upset, has been since childhood. The tiniest little stressor'll send him racing for the Pepto (or the toilet ).

Thanks for digging those up

im an aquarian and i understand this so well because i do it myself quite often. i often say i cant come for coffee because im 'studying' or im 'busy'.. whwn the thing is that i just want some alone time.basically im very moody like all aquarians and we need to really raelly really like the person to the extent of leaving everything..if my best friend asked me for coffee i would definitely go but if my other friends would,i would or wouldnt deoending on my state of mind.. aquarians like haning out 24/7 with ppl who arent too formal and dont have to 'be' someone else with.once u reach that comfort level im sure he'll meet u every day

Pink Angel- Thank you for coming out forthright!
The thing is I don't think he wants to be alone as I know what work he does and it requires all his attention.If he does want to be alone it is most likely to concentrate on his work.

However, if he sent almost everyday with me, that will be the greatest honour I have ever recieved!
