Do you REALLY want to be closer to people? Would it really suit you? Would you be able to handle the responsibility of being more attached?

HD - attachment is vastly over-rated believe me.

It's like a big pink cake that you salivate over and then when you bite in has toothpaste for icing!

when it's time for you to feel attached..and
to the right things and people..you will just
do it, Naturally. ...

Do their thoughts reflect your own or influence your own?

Maybe you should EMBRACE your detachedness and consider it a gift.

I think by the way you help others here you are attached myself, maybe that distance aligned with that gives you an edge?

Are these people intimidated by you? Sounds like it.

Anyway, ask any Water sign, reality and this world are no match for downright fantasy...

I think it's living in two worlds..
this material one and Our OverSoul
One...

this is the world of Illusion..
and we are living the reality
of it...

what you describe..describe's
how I feel..as if I am not
understood, by my brothers and
sisters. ...

hmmmm, my Mercury in Aries
doesn't help, LOL
oh, and Venus is there too!

* Offer more eye contact
* Sit or stand in better proximity
* Lean forward when listening
* Not cross legs or arms
* Repeat back to people what they are saying, so they know for certain you're a part of the conversation

(This post has been a long time coming ) “Too much Air”?? – pish and likewise tosh!! (perhaps I’m biased ;-D )

The definition of “detach” is to disconnect. To be able to disconnect implies that connections can be re-attached/re-established. Perhaps a key to overcoming detachment lies in the direction of “allowing” – which may be difficult (but certainly not impossible!!) given the security requirements of a Taurus Sun. By “allowing” I mean letting whatever engages your feelings have free rein without the Airy Thinking side of you taking over the controls….. and you do this daily with a certain piece or two of wood and wires With your Gem Moon trining your Saturn rx in III, these two help each other. And your Moon lies in a Watery (the deepest) house – you ARE connected-in.

What is preventing the re-connections?? Is there dust between the wires?? Is the solder/flux-whatever not conducting properly?? Is there an invisible force field?? At a guess I’d say Fear comes into play more than astro observations – the lesson of the burned hand and hot stove…..

I have a similar problem with detachment – but it’s the other side of the coin for me: How do I DIS-engage?? I feel *too much* -- get *too connected* to others – and I wish for the Airy Sun to come blow the controls away from my Moon and take over with some rational logic. Am getting better as the years pass, and I look on your ability to be detached as a boon…..

As for what others think?? F*** ‘em – Uranian Eccentrics are more interesting people (Sun sq Uranus here) Methinks it’s mainly your Pluto Presence that lends that aura that people pick up…..

i have myself just cultivated it in myself. i have pluto as well as uranus aspecting my ascendant. so i can swing either way....very involved, to the point of being obsessive, to very detached....earlier it was always Pluto that ruled. only recently hv i finally been able to integrate my airy plcmts and find them a huge blessing, to tell the truth.

I somewhat feel your "detachment pain!" (Sun in the 11th house, Aquarius moon in the 6th house - I'll over-analyse myelf to death one day!!!)

I know that this has already been mentioned, but having your moon in the 12th house should make you able to emote on a very deep level!!! I'd imagine your moon trine neptune would allow you to flow quite freely between heart and head also. I'm sorry I can't offer more practical advice - I'm still learning and so therefore, still a bit rubbish!!!

I have the same problem as you with the way I come across to others! Only my nearest and dearest get to see me in a a mess!!! I come across as happy enough, but detached to anyone else (aqua moon, leo asc) Can I be controversial and suggest that it may well be trust issues that make it seem like you keep others at arms length?! I hope I haven't offended you by saying that - it's just me waffaling really!!!
