He asked me what I was doing tonight and invited me to go out to see his friends band play. I said sure, sounds super fun...then, he asked why I was being so sarcastic. I didn't mean to sound that way, but I tend to do that when I'm unsure of people. I hope I didn't mess up because I'd really love to get to know him more and be his friend! I am so protective of myself and skeptical of people. He probably thinks I'm ridiculous! sigh. sorry for the rant, lol

Sounds just like the beginning of the games my ex Aqua played. He'd appear to pretend that I was the one that was "mean" or "sarcastic" to him. He'd turn it all around, almost to the point where I believed it was my fault! Then he wouldn't talk to me unless I apologized!

This sounds too familiar. I'd be VERY cautious if I were you. Perhaps he's testing you...

uh oh. thanks for the input, LC. that doesn't sound good...I never know with Aquarius. either they are totally smitten with me or they keep me guessing. but I've always got on well with them. I feel this tension between us. maybe it's indifference, maybe it's mixed signals. maybe it's my Mars Scorpio energy attacking his Scorpio Moon, lol. our exchanges are friendly and informative, but awkward. does that make sense? I have just met him though, so it may take a while to warm up to each other. maybe it's because his Moon is opposite mine in Taurus. maybe it's because his Venus in Cap opposes my Venus in Cancer. I don't know what to think. He is very welcoming and we are drawn to each other, but there is something odd I can't put my finger on. A strange magnetism. Anyone else ever dealt with Aquas? Any fellow Leos? is this normal? thanks for any feedback!

No shortages of Aqua experiences on this board! lol Actually, with an Aqua, the more challenging a person is, more he will try to figure you out girl! So consider that a plus for you. Leos and Aquas being opposites, there will be a natural polarity, each curious and intrigued about the other.

Have fun!

oh man lionness, sorry to hear that. all it really means is that your Aqua is really guarded. if he distrusts the you actually meant what you actually meant then he's insecure about where he stands and is probably trying to carry that over to you.

with a Scorpio Moon, he probably acting defensive and gauging if he can trust you.. whatever you said made him feel like you were being insincere and thats a big No-no for Scorpio

but not to worry - he'll detect your Scorpio Mars fast enough and realize you have a very real edge to you too.

>> lol. our exchanges are friendly and informative, but awkward.

yep sounds like an Aqua

there are a LOT of oppositions going on in your charts but considering his chart is a difficult one, he will be very magnetically attracted to your opposite qualities - in an attempt to help balance his own

you'll need to do a little compromising of some of your traits in order to make the relationship understandable to him at first, but be proud of them (Leo sun, no problem) and he'll notice the uniqueness of your very different chart in some time

he doesn't believe you will actually accept him for who he is - but accept him. things will work out ok, don't push it too hard no matter what direction it seems to be turning - he will want space (Aqua) but want intimacy (Scorpio) - so he will act very unpredictable and conflicting - but you'll figure it out

thanks for the input, Blue. I should check other threads on Aquarius to get more insight.

starrym, you are absolutely right about not pushing too hard. the tension is too great and I find myself constantly trying to figure out the reason behind it. last time I saw him, I was really anxious and I think I projected the nervous energy right on to him.

still he was very friendly and I asked him about his art (we're both in art school that's how we met) and we joked to try and ease the tension. I gave him eye contact, so he knew I was paying attention, but I didn't want to be too intense. I was worried he'd see right through me. I want to find out what he's all about, but you can't force real, one-on-one coversations. I don't want to seem to eager.

what is it about Scorpio Moons? how do they do it? and venus in Capricorn? he's so light, funny, and cheery w/everything it's hard to imagine him any other way, lol! is there any particular aspect that brings on this tension? it is so odd and uncomfortable at times!

thanks for anymore advice, I'm hoping I didn't screw up! lol

i'm friends with an aquarius with scorpio moon. he is one weird guy; but creatively, a genius. he's a writer and an english teacher and darn darn strange. he has the scorpio moon INTENSE stare (he scares most people), coupled with the zany brilliance of aquarius and people tend not to know what to make of him. i can see how that combo would make you nervous! i think he (my friend) is nervous all the time too. i'm an aquarius with a (somewhat) grounded taurus moon, and i'm nervous enough as it is, so i can only imagine. i'd say, don't worry and just try to project calm and kindness; give him an opening.

thank you heart cakes! that gives me a glimmer of hope that it wasn't just me, hehe! I have a question though, and it may sound strange so bare w/me, lol...but it is a bad sign if an Aquarius wants to invite you places, gets really happy to see you, and is disappointed when you don't show up somewhere?!

The Aqua I'm befriending seems to be letting his guard down all of a sudden. maybe something clicked. He was really bummed I didn't see his friends band play. I thought it was sweet he wanted me around, but I am skeptical. Aquarius are everyone's friend so I don't want my Leo ego to get in the way and think I'm something special. I don't want him to think he has me all figured out either. I'm kinda freaked out because I feel like he knows so much about everything! VERY intimidating! I think I am making progess though, I could really learn from him. I'm excited.

well, i can only imagine with that combo he's gonna be *strongly* compelled to understand you!

i think his wanting to spend lots of time with you is a great thing! he probably fears your rejection, so i would try not to be too aloof. but, you should do what feels right of course. i just know that for my friend, he's very intense and very thorough, and he probably wouldn't waste his time with someone he wasn't very interested in. aquarians like all people and are curious of all people, generally, but i think scorpio moon is much more interested in intimacy and true, deep connection, even though they may be quite guarded. and generally, aquariuses only move toward what they are interested in deeply, as well. what i mean is, we respond in a friendly manner to everyone, but unless there is something that pulls at us about a person in a significant way, we'd rather just spend our time doing our own thing, and seeing friends and aquaintances more casually. so if he's seeking you out, i'd think it is a very good sign that he is interested in you!

I will starrym! I've loved getting all the help from you, it's going well so far.

thanks again heart cakes! I appreciate
your perspective and advice. who would know better than another Aquarius?

I hope I can be more at ease with the Aqua now. I can tell he is warming up to me. I'm glad he is starting to feel comfy, it makes the tension go away. I just don't want to overwhelm him with my nervous energy or feel like a fool for getting so excited, lol.

it is really hard for me to imagine this Aqua stepping outside of this friendly flowing, chatty disposition--but the fact that he has a Scorpio Moon in the 6th house and Venus in Capricorn in the 9th is quite intriguing! I guess you would have to be very close to know that side, otherwise it's behind closed doors. I find it interesting that his Libra Mars is in the 5th house as well.

I just had a question, is it bad that the Aqua has his Moon in Scorpio and I have my Mars in Scorpio? I'm kinda worried that he has the Moon and I have Mars. the masculine and femanine energy reversed...maybe it doesn't matter as much since both signs are equally intense?? any thoughts?! thanks.

Uhhh... don't read too much into it. Being an Aqua Sun, myself, my advice is to just clear the air. Aquas are very matter of fact and don't like to play games (despite what books might tell you... I think it's because everyone is so used to people playing "games" that when an Aqua doesn't do it it's "weird"). Or at least I don't.

Or he's teasing you.

Was this over text message?

Hi LovelyLioness. Hmmm Aquas....dealt with them myself. I can't deal with them unless they've got some water in their chart. How do you feel about them? Just curious since you're a Leo as well.

You'll both be very stubborn for sure.

amowls, thanks for the advice....and no actually, it was in person not through a txt message. maybe it would have been even more confusing that way, lol.

hi LC, nice to see another leo with some input! I have to say, I have always gotten on well with the Aquas I have met. stimulating conversations and a very friendly vibe. but any fixed signs together is always a challenge to say the least!

what were your bad experiences w/Aquas like? did any of them have a water sign Moon?

I didn't appreciate their aloof/detached manner. I'm too old for all this "lets pretend we have no feelings for each other" nonsense. I need physical/emotional intensity and affection in my relationships. I think aquas are excited by our spunk and our extroverted-ness (what do you think??)

This whole them being a challenge thing just irritates me and nothing more. I found out I can't date a person not in touch with their feelings as I seem to be driven by mine.

I've never dated an aqua water moon though.....his moon was in the 12th if you consider that "pisces."

I sure was crazy about him though it didn't last too long. Ohhh....sigh....

Tell me, how have your aqua relationships been treating you? You like that aloof business of theirs? I need to stay away from air signs.

LC, I totally agree w/Aquas being excited by our spunk! it's a magnetic thing, very interesting to me. I completely understand about the detached behavior as well. I can't stand it sometimes. I am hoping that because the Aqua I know has a Scorpio Moon and Venus in Capricorn he won't be so scattered. it all depends on so many things! (astrology aside) I have found that any air sign I get along with really well tends to have a lot more earth or water influence.

What signs do you tend to get along with better? Do you have a lot of water in your chart? I have Mercury/ASC in Virgo, Taurus Moon, Cancer Venus, with Scorpio Mars! I can't deal with TOO much air or else I tend to feel neglected. What ended it w/your Aqua??

alright. i'll let you in on an insider's secret. aquarians ARE in touch with their feelings.. the aloof thing is just a layer of perceptivity. it's like.. you know when you smoke pot (if you do), or whatever, and the world is slightly altered and fascinating and you just sit back and watch and it gets your mind a'thinkin'? it's kinda like that. we have feelings; we're just also very fascinated with the world and there is that extra level of perception we feel simultaneously. i know i can't speak for all aquarians, and there is a bit of difficulty expressing feelings at times, but we feel just as much as anyone.

i always find it funny how we're either percieved as robots or aliens. i get it though. we are weird. and maybe we need a little help opening up. everyone has their own particular filtration system and aquarians' are just a little bit wackier than others'..

in my experience Aquarians are really in touch with their feelings as well.. if you are close to them, they will glady reveal how they feel verbally, esp if they have a earth or water moon. they will rarely ever show it in the way the emotional signs do - they dont play power games, they dont get moody, they dont get overly sentimental.. rather they will vocalize it in a very straightforward way- so much that it comes off as detached... you think "if you really feel that way, how can you say that so objectively and coldly and not be internally drowning in emotions?"

another reason that Aquarius is not thought of as an emotional sign is because they dont like to put themselves in super close tight relationships, and deeply emotive experiences, or transformative partnerships.. and side step the whole mess the water signs get into. Aquarians are really in touch with verbalizing how they feel and they are very open about it too.

I love air signs! I love how the feel intensely, but don't get carried away in emotion ect. I suppose it's because I have a very logical, detached, rational side to myself as well. but at times I wished they understood how I felt when I seem to feel burdened with emotion....but maybe they do and I'm just not seeing it. I wish I had more air in my chart...I learn so much from them and they are so wonderful to be around. I seem to attract Gemini and Aquarius VERY frequently!!!

I saw the Aquarius today and felt like an idiot!!! We chatted for a bit and there was still that awkward energy. sigh. I want to move on from feeling awkward! I want to just talk and talk and talk to him as a friend without feeling anxious. why am I so impatient? LOL I want to feel I can be open and get to know him, but the timing always seems off. He is SO BUSY! talking to everyone, going from one place to another...I need to relax and stop overthinking!!! hopefully it will get better. sorry for rambling.

okay for now...

lol lovely lioness, your Aqua is not really all that airy with the Scorpio Moon- thats a powerful position which often dominates the chart. Scorpio moons feel sensitively and won't let anyone get close to them easily. it takes a long time to build up trust- esp with his Venus in Cap ( I have a mars/asc in Cap, and I go sloow in relationships).

if you want things to move forward you're going to have to take the initiative. he's probably testing the waters but chances are he'll admire someone who will be very frank about their interest in him. Aqua is also a pretty shy sign on the whole. unless they feel like you are above them on the social ladder, they wait until you come to them. that's just how Aqua works.

with a moon in Taurus you are a lot more open and candid than him - crack some jokes and tickle him with it to show him that you like him. Scorpios are not associated with having a shell but they definitely have a whole army of defenses- the reason they have this, is that when a Scorpio gets hurt, its hell and they can't brush it off easily. when they fall in love, they find it impossible to detach themselves. they are incredibly loyal and devoted- but to become this powerful person in their lives, you have to earn it. that's basically how i see it.

lol, heart cakes--I totally understand what you are saying, and appreicate the explanation! I hope the Aqua feels ok about opening up to me. I want to engage in friendly conversation. exchange ideas. lets him know I am trying to be a friend, that I want to know more...but not so much more to get TOO personal right away. the irony of that is he seems to talk about stories of himself/his friends/family quite openly w/anyone. maybe it's just me, but he seems more reserved certain times we talk, other times he seems care free.

starrym, first of all I'd like to say thank you for all your wonderful feedback and for putting up with my endless jabber! LOL...I am so sorry! I tend to get really carried away in what I'm writing bcause I'm having so many thoughts all at once! I want to understand and know whywhywhy...I am constantly curious and want to figure everything out. the Aqua is intriguing to me, but I am very perplexed. we joke with each other all the time, but there is the awkwardness underneath it all. I don't know if he likes me or what. He seems very contradictory. one day he wants to hang out and chat. the next day, he's still friendly, but cautious....but I am being cautious too. I don't want to come off too aggressive and rub him the wrong way. it's like I know he's picking up on my anxiety, but I don't want him to know bacause then I would be slightly vulnerable. I'm not doing anything out of the ordinary, just light, funny conversation. I guess I shouldn't worry so much and whatever happens, happens. if he's my friend, great. if not that's ok too. I should make it clear that I JUST want to be his friend, maybe the awkwardness would disappear. and he will know I don't have any hidden motives. I would guess he probably has major trust issues. hopefully the next time I post something, I won't feel so bewildred. *sigh*

I have figured out that the Aqua does want to get to know me, but he must REALLY be making sure that I'm cool before he can start to get comfy. I totally understand now! he surprises me. we had a good talk today, he was asking all kinds of questions, making jokes, wanting to know what I'm about ect. I'm fascinated by him for sure, never met anyone like him before! I hope he doesn't think I'm boring. I should ask him what he thinks about astrology.
