I too need to know more about Moon in Aquarius. My "friend" is Taurus with Merc in Gemini and Venus in Aries. There is a cute little Pisces Sun, Mercury & Venus girl, with Moon in Cancer, who's trying to "claim" him. Will all his air and fire eventually gulp for air?

He's Leo Asc 28.14 and she's Cap Asc.

What about the curious question I posed about my Aquarius Moon friend? You might understand because he's Leo Rising. Check out that question right before your post. Pleeeez...

Thank you...

If someone has a strong Aquarius, Gemini and Aries influence, would they feel "drowned out" by someone with Pisces Sun, Merc & Venus with Cancer Moon?

Since we were talking about Aquarius Moon and how they deal with emotional people.

Did it make sense this time?

You are a very independent woman and you are not the right stuff for him I think, are you ready to play the domesticated animal? Do you know what domesticated is? It's when the fear is stilled. Are you honestly that domesticated by him? If you are then he will want you, but a Taurus has to know the collar is on, or he will look elsewhere, the moon is not as important as the Sun, because ultimately he is a Taurus first. He is looking for his domestic goddess.

If you can do it your way, great, but if you have to do it his way you may not like it, or you may not want to be that sweet. Pisces moons are very understated, and fragile. You know Taurus suns love anything fragile and delicate and valuable to protect and care for. Invent a limp or something, Gloria, you would have to act helpless.

With your Cancer moon correct? You can do that, but you may feel it's dishonest, love is honesty but do you even know yet? It's not a game if it's serious to you.

Tell me if your take still stands.

But I really see what you are saying. It's good to get real people's opinions. It may sound weird, but I've ALWAYS had this incredible struggle with understanding why men would want to be married.

On the one hand they are "dawgs", on the other they want committment and stability. I'm getting a lot of mixed signals perhaps from society in general.

Watching my mom be a doormat for my dad created a whole lot of resentment inside of me. They were never friends. They were in some romantic fog, until it FINALLY fell apart. So I'm utterly confused as to the roles. Especially since I'm all too willing to be the caretaker, and I've been taken advantage of. So it still remains a black and white thing with me.

But right this moment, I'm getting a glimpse, you know, of what guys say on the one hand, and want they may really want on the other in terms of WANTING to be married.

The other issue I have is if I take the plunge and the marriage fails or he cheats, etc. It will destroy me, literally. I won't be able to walk again. So I met this Aq Moon guy and at first he came across like he was so openminded about everything, which HE IS! He seemed to match the balance of the traditional and the modern which I seek.

Everything started out very lighthearted and then we BOTH started going, "Oh, Oh... what's happening? I'm having these REALLY strong feelings for you." And then he started to test me to see if I was capable of doing the loyal wife thing.

In the meantime, I was starting to understand that in my heart, I really AM a loyal person who would probably benefit more from a stable relationship at this point in her life.

For the first time in my life, I really want to be married. Really, really really... As long as I meet the guy with just the right balance of traditional and modern.

But I see what you mean about the Taurus thing and since I have Taurus Rising (at 29.48 degrees), it's not so difficult to sort of feel pinned down to an extent. In fact, my Virgo Moon rather enjoys it a bit.

Oh love... where are thou?

The same reasons we get pets, dogs, kids, birds. Only we can't get someone else to walk the wife or husband. There are always times in a relationship where you live together, where you are not always together on everthing. Those times pass, and they are normal. You can't just blow eachother off and see other people, but you don't want to do that anyway. A Taurus is patient enough to see you through the bad times, you only have to worry about the good times.

Taureans do worry a lot and are a bit pessimistic so do keep your happy positive thoughts out there, and if you are start to feel unhappy, do something together walk, ski something. Taureans are not big on talking, they like to move around and feel happy that way.

Yes I believe it works either way Pisces or Cancer moons, only Pisces moons are a little more fragile. Scorpio moons are not fragile at all but are very warm.
Taureans take direction pretty well, especially from Libras, why not direct him towards a live in relationship and see how it goes? Or at least take a vacation together? He will want marriage though or he will feel cheated. I'd start planning the wedding if I were you, he'd like that.

Taureans like planners. A Libra I know says "If you fail to Plan, you Plan to fail" It always works on me, and makes me feel purposeful. I think men especially like a woman to plan things, it makes him feel needed again.

Men really like to feel super needed, the more you need you him right now, the stronger he will feel.

That's just the simplistic Taurean way. Libras never usually have any problem directing me unless I am physically not up to it, Libras usually have a lot of energy, Taureans need rest, food, physical pampering once in a while.

There are a couple of characteristics this Taurus guy has which do not fit the typical Taurus. First, he has the Aquarius Moon and does not like women who have tried to "possess" him. I've had this particular theme run through my other relationships, perhaps due to my having an emotionally absent father, I end up with men who are emotionally unavailable.

But this guy, like I said, grew REAL deep feelings for me and it's all new to me. But because of my experience with other guys who hate clingy emotional women, I've sort of trained myself over the years to create that emotional distance. So I'm just assuming all guys want me to hold my own, which only aggravates my trouble expressing my "needs".

I have Cancer Moon and Scorp Merc/Mars, so once I dive in, I'm in it really deep.

The other thing that's different about him is he is not that quiet. He's got Mercury in Gemini, and his Leo Rising is at 28.14 (almost Virgo). He will keep you MOST NIGHTS until the sun comes up just TALKING. And I LOVE it.

But he's also got that babying side, which is my forte' so I can fulfill that for him too.

The part about him liking women who can plan is true, but I think my approach needs more work, due to my above personal challenges. I'm always hearing the mature guys joking around about how some guy got "trapped" by a woman. It's as if some women have this way of being manipulative, and THEY WIN the guy. Almost as if deep down, the guy really wants to be caught. Is this true? How does this work?

Now, when I was younger I DEFINATELY had the magic touch too, without even trying, I'd get my way. And guys go for it. But although I can still turn that switch on at will, I'm more true to myself now and I guess I'm hoping my guy will appreciate that and see through the other crap.

Lately, I'm feeling like I need a guy who will appreciate that I don't play games, that I don't lay guilt trips on him, that I'm his best friend, and I'll look after him like a sister. Does this exist?

Lioneye, most aquas I know aren't clingy, but it can depends on the rest of their chart. Heavy water will get them stuck like glue. I've known some Aquarians with heavy cancer and scorpio influences (and one with a Pisces Moon) and they have a real hard time letting go. One in particular, an Aquarius guy with a Scorpio Moon who can't seem to ever break away from one woman and gets stuck in deep emotional ruts. I hate seeing it happen as he is a good friend.

OK... in order:

As for me perhaps having Gemini Rising, my Taurus Asc is 29.48 degrees. Please tell me what this could mean in terms of both signs?

As for intelligence being a turn-on, I've said in the most like in the most overwhelming way to my Aq Moon friend, "You know what? Excuse me for interrupting, but do you know what turns me on about you the most?"

"What?"

"Your mind."

"Really?"

"Yeah. Sometimes you'll be talking and just something you say or the way you say it or think about it gives me a kind of hard-on of the brain."

The girl he's been hanging out with lately who's totally trying to claim him has her Pisces Moon, Mercury & Venus in his 7th hs. With her Cancer Moon, I keep thinking she's going to drown him out. But she's also a Capricorn Asc at 5.40, good for the "planning" personality? I don't know.

I think I may be doomed.

Yeah, I've read that Venus in Virgo's are more attracted to eccentrics. This has always been true for me. But only if they are eccentrics with good taste and street smarts. Rare combination, eh?

Could it be I'm looking for THE dignified crackpot? So cool...

OH! I've been wanting to ask here... I've read in more than one place that Moon in Aquarius may end up with partners who live in another country or who's background is quite different from there's.

Anyone figure out why those two things may be so? I can't quite figure it out.

Thanks,

If you’re down
And you’re confused
And you don’t remember who you’re talking to
Your concentration has swept away
Because your baby is so far away

There’s a rose
In a fisted glove
And the eagle flies,
Flies with the dove
And if you can’t be with the one you love,
Then love the one you’re with
Love the one you’re with
Love the one you’re with

Don’t be angry
And don’t be sad
Just keep smiling
And thinking about all the good times that you had
‘Cause there’s somebody right next to you
And they’re just waiting for something to do

Well turn your heartache right into joy
‘Cause you’re a girl
And hey, I’m a boy
Let’s get together
And recognize that sooner or later
We ain’t gonna need no more vibes

i have an aqua moon and a leo sun, and i can say from my experience my aqua moon comes in sporatically.. my emotions come out in extremes, i'm either really emotional or not at all, and just distanced from it all.. most of the time i carry myself in a distanced manner with friends and colleagues, but when i get really comfortable, my leo sun shows, and i'm as warm as can be..

as far as relationships go, i can imagine myself with all sorts of people, and think that monogamy is unnatural.. i am in a committed relationship, and have never cheated.. but i am not averse to dating more than one person.. oh, but it's different in my case. b/c my boyfriend is working in Japan.. so we are having an international relationship and it's been going on for about half a year now.. i don't know how much my aqua moon has to do with me having a long distance relationship such as this.. you guys can interpret it for yourself.. But i was also very anti- long distance relationship thing from the start , but he somehow convinced me to try it out..l and now it's working out pretty well...

i think my aqua moon enables me to strong enough emotionally to not get broken by a relationship.. my logic comes in, and it saves me from drowning in emotions.. and i think it also makes me interested in all sorts of people, and open minded so that if i ever get my heart broken, i can bounce back , knowing that there are other fish in the sea..

but i do experience a very deep relationship regardless, i think it has to do with the fact i have mars/venus conjuct in libra, and i have many planets in the 7th and 8th house.. making me relationship oriented..

oh, btw posting on a forum like this about my "personal" stuff is very unlike me, and i think it can be attributed to my aqua moon's need for privacy..

i don't like to sound like i'm an expert, b/c i don't know how much of my analysis is true. so keep in that mind when i sound like a skeptic..

ok, looking forward to hearing all of you aqua moon's experiences!

Nice to meet you...

As soon as you said you were Leo w/Aq Moon I knew what to expect regarding the relationship department, and then it was confirmed, monogamy not being natural.

I know about you's cuz Sandra Bullock is Leo/Aq and I looked her stuff up. She had said in an interview it was easy for her to get claustrophobic in a committed relationship. I think she's so cool.

And also read the part about how you go from one extreme of stuff to the other.

My "guy friend" is Aq Moon with Leo Rising (at 28.14 degrees - so almost Virgo), but I read a lot about him and says Aq Moons usually get involved with people having radically different backgrounds from them, and frequently go overseas when they "fall in love".

I have a bit of a Leo/Aq mystery in my own chart I'm working on too. I think your Sun/Moon is one of the most interesting combo's. Hope to hear from your fingertips more...
