It's said that dolphins spend much of their lives, touching and caressing and maintain emotional bonds for life.

however, there is an evil side to dolphins, sometimes they kill weaker ones for no reason.

Is there a connection?
people pleaser turned angry?

somehow I get the feeling that dolphins are scorpios,

does anyone get the feeling that Venus ruled people are destined to be in non romantic, relationships because they are nurturers and take care of those weaker than themselves?
I can't see myself fighting off weaker dolphins and maintaining bonds over the years.
(just broke up with an Aquarius)

"Evil" is exclusively a human moral designation and phenomenon, and this refers specifically to extreme cases of humans acting contrary to what we accept as our human nature. Therefore it is not appropriate to assign this moral distinction to the behavior of non-humans. We have no evidence these kinds of behaviors of dolphins, and also chimps, elephants and many other animals we esteem as having exceptional and near-human intelligence, are genuinely contrary to *their* nature, even if we as humans find it discomforting. Every animal has inherent dignity and mystery according their specific nature, and we need to recognize that and accept that. It is simply not for us to assign our moral values to their behaviors.

Likewise it's not appropriate to athropomorphize other more "appealing" behaviors, and assign human values to them as well. What we observe as caressing or affectionate behavior may have very different meaning and dimensions to the animal than it would for us. Again every animal has its own speciifc inherent dignity and mystery - their dignity and mystery are not merely shadows or lesser parallels of human dignity and mystery. We should accept it as wholly unique and specific to that animal and thus endows each animal with their own beauty. We may never be able to fully understand these dimensions of an animal's experience, but at least we can begin to understand by first acknowledging that what is of dolphins is of dolphins and not of humans, and so too of any and all other animals.

Having said that, I personally associate dolphins with Aquarius, the paradoxical water-bearer whose element is not water but air.

Hehe, I got to swim with wild dolfins in New Zealand........omg was soooooo awesome. I kept sucking water into my snorkel from laughing.

There was also this HUGE german guy (heavy accent) out there saying "Here kitty kitty kitty!"

They are very playful but won't let you touch them....don't really know why.

Anyways, just trying to make ya'll envy me!!!! Lol /tease.

Hi, GN, I can very well say Dolphins have an evil side, if no other word comes to mind because my communicative powers are limited,
and because we both know dolphins only exist in my mind, these aren't real dolphins I am talking about, only my inner longings, and fears.

My feelings are not just limited,
I am limited by my feelings if you know what I mean. If I can't imagine it I can't do it, and the dolphin appears to me because I need guidance.

I probably will never see a dolphin, I may paint a few, but not from life, and the ones I seee are not based on reality, only on pure feeling, instincts.

And if this is not rational it's still useful because I don't think Dolphins could be Aquarius ruled. As a Taurus I have to imagine harmony and team work.

Dolphins work together, eat together and play together as a team. To me aquarians are like hungry sea lions who swim by and eat up the dolphins meal.

I respect your opinon, but do you really see dolphins as ruled by Aquarius when Aquarians are so contrary?

I would like to know because my dreams may have a deeper meaning, they usually do.
(Cancer/8th house Moon)

a few months ago I dreamt of foxes, hiding, in packs, sleeping, swimming, protecting. Now I am dreaming of dolphins, Maybe I am getting stronger, still I wish I was a lion or a bear. 9 months ago I was ready to give up on life all together, I felt like an anchovy in a pool of sharks.

Next month I am going to NYC again, in that city I will need to draw on imagination and inner strength for guidance. That imagination doesn't come from just me, I know it comes from some other place, it's pretty powerful, scary.
