My Junior High & High School crush is/was an Aquarius. Every so often id hit on him it was like, pathetic. The 2 times I even remotely came close was one night he was inebriated (sp?) and approached me, and one summer night i was wearing really short shorts... go figure.IP: Logged |

Those are interesting ideas...I did not come to know my Aquarian in that normal types of ways though...we knew each other years ago...but it was all but forgotten...I was VERY VERY young when we first knew each other, matter of fact, he didn't remember me at all from that time. We came to talk to each other about a mutual friend who had been in an accident, before we actually saw each other...we had talked for about 3 months before he laid eyes on me...funny thing about this Aquarian, is he told me one day,after we had met up in person, that I had hooked him, before he even saw me...and he couldn't understand why he was so drawn to me... no man has ever ever said anything like that to me before in my life..maybe he was lying..I don't know..but my intuition told me that he was not lying...and he stuck around for 4 years... I guess life is just pulling us both in different directions now and I need to bury this once and for all..but it sure is hard...especially when I can't quite understand the feelings I had/have for him...does that make any sense?

feelings you have had for him, or he has had for you? remember that aquarians don't want to attach themselves to anything or anyone. they need absolute freedom. Amanda, be comforted with the words: what you love, let go...IP: Logged |

The Aquarian wants to feel wanted, not needed. If he feels needed, he may not feel wanted...To explain: If you need him, that could be a reflection of your own dependency, rather than his desirability. But, if you dont need him, your desire to be with him will be conscious and healthy, and not compulsive.

Yes I see that but so backwards to me and confusing to me. Because I can need you and want you at the same time...IP: Logged |

Oh, I bet they do They just probably don’t talk about it…but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen

Ugh, I wish an Aquarian I knew would disappear on me. He's driving me insane, so annoying. I've told him off once, and since then felt bad, so I've been talking to him lately, but ye gods. He doesn't bother me often, but when he does, I don't know, it's just likes nails going down a blackboard. IP: Logged |

My mum (Leo, Gem moon)) pulled a disappearing act on my dad(Aqua).. literally lol She told him she was goin to the shops, he was still half asleep. When he woke up she was.. well she was prolly in a shop, but in a different city (airport shop most likely), and that's how it ended for them - forever , 12 or so yrs ago IP: Logged |

wow aries chickthats one crazy story! have u seen ur mother after ? if you dont mind my asking, did u live with ur mother or father? i think leos in general can also pull disappearing acts, once my leo mom had a fight with my scorp dad in the car, they were ready to kill each other i think, there was so much tension in the air, funny how married people can hate each other with so much intensity dont u think, anyhow, he stopped at a red, and she suddenly opened the door, slammed it shut, and got on a bus ready to leave nearby, we were all stunned, we went home, my dad tried to follow the bus but to no avail, she came back home after like 6 days or so hahaha she would run, most of the time taking us with her, away from my dad every so often, then they would have to reconcile due to cultural and economic factors. one of my ex leo bf's also did the same thing--disappearing for a year, then showing up after a year and craving my attention and affection as if he REALLY needed it, but it made me think, if he really did need it why does he disappear so, wouldnt he miss me, but im sure he didnt, leos are the kind to stick to u if they really do want u, so i was convinced me was playin me like a fool and turned out he was!

Yeah, I see my mum every day. We're very close. With my dad, I keep in contact, so we talk every now and then but we've never been close, close.. though I mean, I get along with him..There's deffinetly been some crazy arguments like the one you just described when I was little. But now they're both happy with their new partners and I'm happy for them. It's been to long since then, the resentment's (between them) kind of blown over. If they talk, which rarely happens, they're cordial and friendly (detached friendly, but still friendly) IP: Logged |

wow well i am glad to hear you have functional relationships with your parents, and i am happy to hear that they are happy with your partners, you are very mature to accept it all, people dont tend to understand that what will happen will happen, no use fighting it, better to accept it, come to terms with it, and go on with your life. my father married again and moved out of our lives, which i was grateful for, most people say well dont u miss having a father figure, well i would say no because having a horrible father figure is much worse than not having one. i think i am too independent and headstrong to really appreciate a dominating father, i think its better this way, i have enough battles to go through with my mother, although i dearly love her our opinions differ on everything unfortunately i would suspect you have had similar feelings if not fate because of your aries placement, isnt it so difficult to be an aries female, it seems people arent willing to accept that women can be cardinal, independent, and decisive, i come across this all the time with my scorpio moon and venus in aries. what do you feel about the situation?

Hey,I always got the "don't you miss having a father figure" question too. And no I didn't, partly because my grandpa was there and I saw him as a father figure but also because it's hard to miss someone who wasn't ever really there. I feel a bit bad saying this, there's nothing wrong with my dad. He's nice and everything, but maybe because he's an Aqua - he's a bit too aloof and impersonal. Sorry to hear that about your dad, being a horrible father figure. We both have hard moon signs.. mine's Capricorn in the 8th, yours is Scorpio. Both those moons have hardships, specially in childhood, familly probs etc.. And lol I totally get you on the cardinal/independent women thing. Most of my chart is cardinal and mutable. My sun/moon, both cardinal.. What annoys me most is when people feel the need to assert themselves by putting me down. Like they feel threatened, without any conscious threats on my behalf - maybe it's a subliminal message I send out without realsing it that makes ppl feel I'm TOO confident (for a girl). I've come to the conclusion though lol Cap moon.. that it's best to keep a low profile sometimes and not necessarly let ppl know what you've accomplished or are accomplishing or act overly confident - too many bad vibes. As an Aries - being kind of naive that way I've always expected ppl to be happy for me because I'd be happy for them, but a lot of times they got narky and jealous.. I hate ending things on a pessimistic note so.. Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, Your friends give you head and You're a fool lols I said this to a guy who was bugging me the other day - totally unrelated and totally silly but thought it was funny PS sozzzzzzzzzz to take the topic of Aquas though I did mention my dad and he is Aqua so that still counts right?

Aquarian men are an enigma...very difficult to predict...and that is the way they like it.I love my Aqua man to death, but oh, the mental gymnastics (I'm being nice here) I've also read that Aqua men may have a string of women one right after the other and are faithful to each one while he is involved with each one...guess this can be true, but from what I've read on this topic (and the oh, so many others on Aquarius men lol), that isn't necessarily true in all cases...probably depends on the person though, you can't really generalize, not with any of the signs, really. They're just hard to pin down unless they want to be pinned down. They do need to be the one in pursuit and will woo you and woo you and woo you until they break your resolve, particularly if you're a challenge. They love mystery and always want to know what's on your mind (but will never, ever reveal what's truly on theirs) Will add more later...am off to work IP: Logged |

aries chick i can totally relate! people feel threatened by me for some reason, a lot of the times I felt people pushing me down when I felt confident about my achievements, although I tend to be an optimist and give people the benefit of the doubt some people just turn out to be scum and prove to you that you were wrong for even considering them human, you know? Recently I landed like a 'dream internship' that a lot of Business / Marketing majors would kill for quite literally, but when I told everyone, except for my mom, no one was happy, everyone was like, oh ...how come you got an internship and I didnt??? or, yeah, you're good at coming off intelligent in interviews (COMING OFF AS INTELLIGENT? WTF IS THAT, esp for someone who has a 4 and IS intelligent ok, not being cocky, I know my faults, but this isnt one of them you know). Also when I date and things (which is against my culture, everyone has to let me know how fat i've gotten or how men will jus use women they can be with etc. to try to pull me down), I am convinced that women are jealous of other women that know who they are, know what they want, and know how to go out and get it. I can do these things and women in general have been the biggest obstacles in my path so far, including my Gem best friend who I used to think of as my gal pal but after this internship ordeal and her unenthusiastic reaction Im pretty sure I should distance myself from her too, I am mainly mutable and fixed chart-wise but my venus is in aries, venus is the ruler of my chart, and that is in 7th house, so its very important there, I think it gives me a little combativeness and fiestiness Well much love and let me know more of your thoughts Im intrigued SG IP: Logged |

SG--my cousin is a year younger than me and an Aqua. Ever since we were little, I was always threatened by her because she is so intelligent and aesthetically pleasing to the eye, which caused huge competitions between us, mostly because I always felt the need to be better since I was older (doesn't make sense) Anyway, still to this day I have to fight that twinge of jealousy whenever she surpasses me (although a by-product of our childhood--she looovves to shove her accomplishments in my face because I was so mean as a kid) So don't feel too bad about people not being simply GLAD for you--they might be reminded of their shortcomings whenever you accomplish your goals. That's really their problem with either jealousy or low self-worth and you will find those who will support you because they are secure within themselves. IP: Logged |

I finally got over my Aqua crushes this year, forever and a day I was always crushing on Aquas. Finally one went for me in a big way, and I left a relationship for him and poof he went away. After that I realized my dream of being wanted by one and I found that they are very angry sometimes and not as cool as I thought.No one is totally detached, but I have learned the lesson of attachment already. Now is my time, as a Taurus to detach, and I can't do that with an Aqua like I thought. they are actually pretty intense and when they fall in love, it really means something. It can be destructive, passionate. I am done with my Aqua chasing, Thank God! Natasha Taurus Cancer Moon IP: Logged |

Natasha,Yes, an Aqua is a good one to learn detachment from, but not the only one to learn this from. I still have a hard time with detachment with the Aqua guy in my life, it really depends on the situation, because I can blow hot and cold and be either very aloof and detached or right in the thick of it, stirring things up. In some ways, I am very much like this Aqua guy - and is that I have to be detached from certain family situations for my own sanity and just because I am more comfortable that way - I need my space, pure and simple. A relationship with an Aqua is very intense and passionate - you should see how it is between the two of us - me with all my mouthy firey-ness and Merc in Scorpio cut-to-the-quick observations, my Aqua Moon (unpredictableness) and his Donald Duck irrascible temper and you've got a wild time. He does have that ability, though to stay calm (it's only on the surface though) and detached when I'm flying off the handle. Never a dull moment when we're around each other. We never have calm moments of ordinariness together. If we're both quiet, it's because we're mad at each other and walking on eggshells... IP: Logged |

Are you serious? As if they say that, that's plain mean. I'm sure you're beautiful just the way you are and if anyone tries to make you feel bad about your appearance they have issues of their own to deal with. Don't even give people like that the benefit of the doubt. I understand the culture part. But at the end of the day you should do what makes you happy because it's your life and nobody else's business. Girls do have a habit to get bitchy. I wouldn't even mind if they were being straight forward and told me whatever they have to say to my face. But when it's behind my back and they're all nice, keeping up pretences when I'm around, that I can't stomach. Congrats on the intership

thank you much aries-chick yes i think that being from my culture and being a woman and being autonomous, or wanting to be, is a triple whammy, it is so difficult, life is a constant battle, and every moment is worried worried, well here I am back to my Prufrock-stage of how to presume, thats really how life passes day by day! I have to actively detach myself from it to enjoy even a single second .. ! Love SG IP: Logged |

Secret Garden, there are lots of cultures like that and there is a woman in every family who is different, not traditional. Even in a semi traditional family, women are expected to be the upholders of tradition. You are not, but you are needed, in my family, at first my mother was very angry at the unconvetional egotistical lifestyle as she saw it, with no children.But she has come to respect me, and everyone in my family has come to accept that I am independent, as soon a I did. I had to shove it down their throats practically one day, and talk back to one of my uncles. As long as I feel comfortable with it, they do too. In every family there is one super Mom, and in every family, people want to see the opposite, if that's who you are, then don't worry, I am doing it and I am fine with it. My family is Irish/French Catholic and very big on marriage and children. I am neither right now and still they talk to me. Before if I made one little mistake, they would cut me off, hurting me. Now I don't let it get to me ever, I talk back to the leader, my uncle and let him know, with love that I expect respect for who and what I am. And I don't talk babies/husbands with him at all, I keep the track on career so he knows I do not want to give in. I care, but I have learned to get angry once in a while and it hasn't hurt, even helped. Good Luck, Natasha
