Hi WriteSomething,Aqua likes to maintain friends, and Scorpio (Pluto) can mean death of the old and rebirth of the new, which could certainly mean the burning of bridges along the way...so if choosing between the two, I'd say Scorpio.  8th IP: Logged |

That's a good point 8th Moon but Aqua and Scorpio are both fixed signs which can also mean they are stubborn and hate to part with or give up on anything.
(stubborn will resist change, kind of an oxymoron for Uranus which is home in Aqua and is exalted in Scorpio)If either of these signs burnt their bridges it would be because they have thought it through and are finished with the relationship/friendship. IP: Logged |

My experience with Scorps is that they NEVER let go. Even when you're "on a break", their energy still sneakily grasps on to you and pulls you in. I know all the theories about them burning their bridges in a fit of Scorpionic rage, but I've never been witness to such a thing, let alone the recipient. And I know a LOT of Scorpios.Ironically, I've been a bridge burner with only 3 people in my whole life, and every one of them has been a Scorpio.

I looked at the question posted as if you had to choose between the two, so I'm not trying to stereotype anyone.With the Aquas/Scorps that I know personally, the Aquas will do their own thing, but they'd be sad that they lost a friend if it came to that. My Scorpio family/friends would only hang onto something if they wanted it desperately...and found it worthy. If not, they wouldn't hang on to something or someone that wasn't for their good. I don't think they go around saying "gee, lets burn some bridges today," but they don't see a point in maintaining relationships with someone if it isn't working according to their plan, whereas an Aqua would ask "can we still be friends?" Hope that clarifies. 8th IP: Logged |

Burning bridges is a black and white mode of thinking which to me does not limit itself to Scorpios alone. People who adopt this frame of mind have a lot of FIXED signs. Taurus, Leos, Scorpios and Aquas in their own right. Watch for Leos with stelliums in their own sign, even an air sign with a FIXED stellium will burn bridges. My guess is that Aqua (Fixed) with Scorpio (Fixed) elements will be emphatically inclined to burn bridges.

I have been told that I am burning lot of bridges lately but as I was mentioning in another post that I relate that to Progressed Aqua moon...Recently I will not be associated to wrong people or some people to curb my progress ...It is matter of freedom...and having right friends...I think it is a Scorpio trait where they give all or nothing...They are extreme...but then in the past as a Scorpio Sun I have tolerated people who annoy me or are not the people whom I would be associated too...Grey chrachters....

There can be several other aspects in my chart...I am not sure but I have never felt so detatched to people and their emotions and I have been able to see ulterior motives of people so clearly that it has been very difficult to forgive them....I hope this is just passing phase...with Uranian influence...one gets vision of future and mind gets open to ideas which you have never come across...IP: Logged |

Scorp Sun/Mercury/NeptuneI absolutely hate to burn a bridge and I can remember on one hand the times I had to just shut someone out of my life, and in those situations the persons at fault had on more than one occasion created a situation that tested loyalty and trust, I am HUGE into loyalty in any type of relationship. I will always try and work out a tenuous situation and find a middle ground (that’s the Libra rising and cap moon) but sometimes for the sake of all involved and the seriousness of the infraction I must cut off all contact. I’m not talking about freezing someone out; I have had to do that from time to time with certain people. I’m talking about loose my number, email address and I don’t ever want to see you again!

Burning bridges? Well, I've done that a lot! I don't necessarily think it is because I have so many fixed signs (Moon, Mercury, Venus and Uranus in Scorpio, Mars in Leo, and Chiron in Taurus) as I have an awfully difficult time letting go of anything in my life, even when I know that it is good for me.Instead, I think the reason why I burn so many bridges in so many relationships is a function of having Pluto on the ascendant and conjunct my Sun. It truly is a case of a continual death and rebirth on my part. IP: Logged |

I have an Aqua Sun and Moon. I have a tendency to want to maintain friends.. especially if im close to them. even if they part, ill fight to maintain a relationship... as for a scorpionic rage, i havent seen one either. but ive seen my scorpion dad waiting to "sting" someone who wronged him. as an aqua, i dont wanna sting anyone. i just dont wanna be wrong. lol IP: Logged |

Neptune's Muse - what you wrote is very interesting - makes a lot of sense to me - I've got 7 fixed planets so I think your theory is a very good one. Had never really thought of it this way before - thanks for contributing...IP: Logged |

Anyone with a temper can burn bridges. So, fire signs or anyone with something explosive in their charts. But they might not mean it afterwards.Also as some people have mentioned above, anyone who believes themselves to be emphatically RIGHT has a tendency to behave in such ways - so fixed signs plus Aries.

One person I burned a bridge with. She is someone I began a 'friendship' with but over time saw it was for her convenience primarily. I promised myself never again. The relationship, no matter what kind, relative, friend, lover has to serve me. Period. I am not a selfish person and am all about being a friend and nurturing them. I am not a care-giver though and have my limits. But this person never ever thought that maybe she had to do some giving herself. I ended it and told her why. This was about 18 or so months ago. Crazy thing, is in my spam folder this morning was an email from her. I am a Sag Sun with Sag rising and Mars, but am patient and it takes a lot to get me to that point where I say see ya.

this a a very close to home thread for me.
I do this all the timem not intentionally thou.I feel i put up with a lot and by the time i question people how they treat me im ready for them and they cant win the argument as its all true, to my knowledge as i am happy to admit my faults so i can learn from them. but the other thing is us aquarians seem to attract people in our lives which are not in our best interests. I have aquarian sun merc and venus all the the 4th H
I have a scorpio asc and neptune in scorpio placed right on the asc beggings cusp is it.
asc is 18 sco nept is 19 sco.. the scorpio nature is so deeply loyal that when people so called friends turn out to be fake and nasty we bit back hard. maybe its a aqu and scor thing to burn bridges. but definatly its the scorpio not aquarius we tend to be easy going and put up with a lot, we have this ideal that all people have good and bad and even the bad is something else its not bad its just different... lol scoropi dont agree lol IP: Logged |

I think it's a Pluto/Uranus thing...not a "Scorpio" or "Aquarius" thing.Pluto is the destroyer, but also from destruction comes rebirth Uranus doesn't like things to sit for too long, when things are stable, Uranus turns the tables on everyone and everything.
I have a serious problem with this. I hold people to very high standards, especially my friends, and the moment they are no longer needed, I terminate the friendship entirely. I am CONSTANTLY recycling friends (probably due to the quality of people I attract). As I meet people over and over, the valuable ones stick around but mostly, they're gone as soon as they came. If I have nothing else to benefit from you, then I cut my losses. No use carrying extra weight around...
Scorpio is on my 11th house cusp, and Pluto sits in my 11th house. Uranus conjuncts my AC (make me someone who likes to meet new people, but doesn't want to get close) opposite Chiron in the 7th (wounding through relationships).
For me, I think it's a few aspects.
-Uranus opposite Chiron
-Pluto square Moon and Mars (I say Mars because I have Mars in Aquarius. I am extreme about not being held down by unnecessary and excessive emotional drama (Leo Moon) and baggage. At the first sight of it, I'm gone..immediately)
I'll add more later when I have time!

Hmmmm....
Burning Bridges is most DEFINITELY a Scorpio trait---I have Venus in Scorpio...after a relationship has ended 4 me, an "environmental impact report" is in order...whether it is a friendship or a romantic relationship, when it's over, I'm done!---It's as if the other person doesn't (and never did) exist!
Aquas can burn bridges also, but unintentionally and 4 different reasons....not out of malice, but more for existential reasons--they simply live "in the moment" in a Zen kinda way that may result in losing contact, physically and emotionally, with people...the other person may FEEL as though the bridge has been burned.I am not a callous person---I give my all & I am very patient AND I simply don't hold on when it is over, period.

Sun conjunct moon in Scorpio here. Technically, I do not have a problem burning bridges. But now that I'm older (and hopefully a bit wiser and more evolved)I'm trying to preserve bridges. IP: Logged |
