All right heres the situation theres an aqua that’s a lot older then me but I always ask her for her insight on things, speaking of which she’s got a good insight on things.Right now she having problems with one of her daughters one has ran away with the wrong guy who is into drugs, and the concern is she feels she won’t be able to get her daughter back and the same way before. The other problem is she reads tarot cards and someone reported her to a local church. She’s told me the situation and has been direct about it to me, I’ve always found that aquas have always made me smile when I’m a grouchy gem, so I feel obligated to help out how ever possible.

Objective and rational advice seems to cheer up troubled Aquas. But I'd only venture my two penn'orth (two cents) if they asked my opinion. IP: Logged |

Pick her up one day out of nowhere and take her out for a couple of hours. Go somewhere you guys have never been before. Tell her to forget about her problems for the day. When you get to the new place, go to places and stores that are new to you both; same with the restaurants, eat at new places.Even though its only a temporary reprieve from her issues, she will definitely appreciate what you are trying to do. Oh yeah, about the church thing, tell her to tell them to mind their own business. The only person she has to answer to is her creator. ------------------ Virgo Asc & Mars Gemini Sun Libra Moon (conjunct Pluto 0º in 2nd house) Gemini Mercury Cancer Venus IP: Logged |

yes. my philosophy is more about taking her mind off it (aquarians can obsess themselves into holes of depression; we need that uranian zing to excite us to new thinking patterns, thus, ways of dealing), and cheering her up with weirdness. weirdness is totally grand to us!IP: Logged |

Don't pry, let her do all the talking, listen when she needs it.I agree with taking her out (kind of like a kidnap in her jammies and begin with breakfast), maybe it can be a group effort...make sure you find out ahead of time if she has a day free and no appointments. Then think up a zany joke after she's vented...she may laugh and be able to get her mind off. IP: Logged |

cool 3rd..thing is with us aquas, you NEVER KNOW. we never know either. that's the funny thing. i would totally laugh my ass off if anyone dressed up in drag and sang me better midler songs, but if i was not even to the point of dealing with and passing through my emotions yet, it would still cheer me up, but wouldn't actually help me all that much, necessarily. aquarians process emotions oddly. everyone has their own unique ways of dealing with trauma but we tend to dissociate (or tend to rationalize, or are confused because we want the "ideal" rather than the reality) more i think and go inside. it usually takes a while to actually deal with the feelings full on, i've found. i think just knowing you care about her and are there for her and letting her talk if she wants to, offering to take her out or make her dinner, whatever, would probably help her feel less alone or alienated (we sometimes feel more alone and confused when dealing with intense emotions). she might be ready to open up, or maybe just the comfort of having some good company will be all she needs. i'm sure she'd appreciate just having someone who cares for her, and would help her feel less burened. and wearing some nice colourful earings and a bit of bright pink (or better yet, old lady orange) lipstick while doing so couldn't hurt, either. is all i'm saying. oh and spontaneous dancing. we LOVE spontaneous dancing.

Well, I just thought of something..Its not the norm and it might do the trick.I rally appreacte your thoughts heart cakes. Well I gave her some time to herself, the whole aquas need time to themselves thing, I kinda figured that the air sign emotion thing whould almost be the same. IP: Logged |

I find my Aquarian pals have a richly ironic side to their natures. They have quite a black sense of humour and enjoy a good old belly laugh when things go wrong. Straight forward factual pragmatic approach always works but try to add a bit of irony and humour to the situation if you think your friend would respond well to it. IP: Logged |
