I've read Love Signs so often that the first hundred pages or so are lost. I am surrounded by Aquas and have forgotten what they are supposed to be teaching me,lol. My mom, 2 step sisters, son and fiancee are all Aquarius.

There is obviously some lesson I am meant to learn from them. Anyone know what that could be?

OOooohh I was just thinking about this,this morning on my way to work..I have been off and on with a Aqua for 2 1/2 years and I know for sure now what it is that keeps us drawn back to each other..

Yes like Sue says detatchment for me..Pisces ppl can be so clingy I don't think that I could ever be as clingy as some of the other Pisces ppl I know uggghh its disgusting..However I have had my fairy tale thoughts and this Aqua that I know has taught me to stand back and be patient..

I in turn have taught him Real love unconditional love..What it means to really love someone. I taught him to be intouch with his feelings and realize they are real..I have also taught him about spirituality and how important it is..

So in return we both have learned from each other..But yes Aqua's definelty cann teach you to look at things locigally somethimes and not just through emotion..

My mom and both my brothers are aquas in fact one of my brothers and my mom share a birthday and I envy the bond they share. Detachment is a big lesson I've learned. They all live in a different country and while we don't see each other or talk that often we all know we love, and care for each other and are closer in spirit than some families living under the same roof.

Yes, DETACHMENT, emotionally letting go to attachment to the outcome---

And for me a Pisces sun with Saturn, Jupiter, Mars and Mercury in Aqua and the latter 3 opposed to Uranus--looking into myself and really coming to KNOW myself!

What do the Aquas in your life brind out in you?

Oh, yea and universal and unconditional love...purely Aquarian, love everybody for who they are........

Me? Let go? Wha?? Now tell me how I'm supposed to do that, haha.

That's kind of scary to me in a way. It also makes a lot of sense now that I think about it.

Mama Mia, my fiancee is a Aqua sun at 29 degrees with a Pisces moon. I can sense the pull of his clingy Pisces moon, and then again he is so Aquarian when it comes to people in general. Its weird that we are trine.

My mom and son's birthdays are a day apart. They get along like 2 peas. Sometimes, when I look at them together, I can feel thier vibe. It's cool.

The aqua detachment is so painful though.
I dont think anyone "needs" to be taught how to be deatched when wanting love.
If you are a person who would love to live in passion and depths of emotion,
then that is the right thing for you,
and an aqua would be very wrong in my opinion..
Guys, dont ever think that way, that you think of yourselves as too clingy when wanting love.
To be patient and reasonable is one thing though, but to want some empathy and consideration for ones own emotions when it would be appropriate to do so isnt too much to ask the aqua.
I have just been thinking about this lately too and thought I had to vent...
It is NOT normal to go for aaaaaaggges without wanting to contact.
It just isnt, no matter what!

Anita41: Its totally different for Water signs..Aqua's teaches us to stand back sometimes and its not a bad thing..You have to be one of us to see that..and you have to be mature enough to know its not a bad thing..

There's emotions running through us that only water signs understand..I am happy to learn to stand back some..Being a Pisces now I have the advantage of be able to do both..Getting close and standing back..

Mama Mia,
yes you are right. It can often be good to stop and look around yourself when getting too heated emotionally in a relationship.
But the aqua is TOO much of it I feel.
I was just thinking about my own experiences.
For instance if we have not had contact for a long time, and then we get to talk and get close, and then he leaves me for weeks and months. After he told me he loves me so much. I think it is too much for me to bear those questions on my mind, the worry and doubting, the back and forth of thoughts.
I know it is what I allow it to be.
But the thing is though, I wonder how he can lack that empathy and never think about how it might affect me.
Like, he doesnt go there at all. Is that really good?
He does not share the same emotions as me when it comes to thinking about how to treat eachother, because it gives me warmth and pleasure to give love. I mean, imagine to lack that. I just dont get it.
And it does hurt me whether I want it to or not. Its like when you are a child and you are so happy to see your mom coming to pick you up from kindergarden and you run towards her and want to hug her, and then she ignores you and walks away.
It makes you want to cry so much

Ok Anita41 your lesson is not the same as what we are talking about..If he does those things to you purposely then you need to get away from him period. I have not expereince that, I expereinced two ppl dealing with each other on two different levels of emotion. From what I gathered no one said that Aqua's do this purposely its just a part of who they are..and it has made us look within to see somethings..

You sound like you are hurting sweetie, and I hope that you feel better..

Sue G...

That is exactly it: detachment. It took me awhile, but just recently I realized this about all the Aquas in my life. They teach to observe, understand, detach...

Personally, I am okay with a little of my Scorp obsession and attachment, but sometimes a girl has just got to learn how to NOT take everything to heart..

Hmmm, do you have Saturn in Aqua?

Because I have saturn in saggitarius its been the same way with me and saggitarians. Almost all the people who have made the greatest impact on me and that I can remember have saggitarian suns or are heavily saggitarian. Thanks, now I'm thinking that my lesson in this lifetime is saggitarian. I'm gonna go read lovesigns now

Hi, might be too late on this one, but I am an Aquarius, so I thought I could help.

Deep inside we are really sensitive, and care more deeply than most suspect, but we become scared of our emotions (especially if they are strong), and often need time out to analyze what's going on, and if we can trust it. Hope this helps.

Detachment of the outcome of anything, and self-respect by maintaining self control outwardly, if that makes sense. From most of the Aquas I have known and observed, they like to outwardly appear calm and a certain aura of cool. Many Leos I know have this quality too.

One Aqua woman I work with though, doesn't really accept people for who they are, at all. Surprises me quite a bit.

Aqua-chica, thank you for saying that. I often think Aquas tend to get put on a pedastal too often for their intelligence and detachment, and frankly, they themselves are often aware that perhaps they don't deserve that kind of reverence more than anyone else (although Aquas tend to be quite prideful as with any fixed sign, and do like to be acknowledged for their strengths).

Aquas have their vulnerabilities too, and to understood an Aqua is to understand that dealing with these vulnerabilities can be an especially hard challenge for any Aqua, male or female. Because one of their strengths is detachment, whenever they feel something inwardly that they don't understand or they can't control, like strong or confusing emotions, they are more likely to detach from it rather than confront it. This means that for all their more noble qualities, many Aquas struggle in the area of personal development.

While there are many things we can learn from Aquas that are very obvious, like their humanitarianism or intelligence, there is much we can learn from them in regards to their own personal struggles to understand themselves. We can learn how to be compassionate and supportive while still respecting their Aqua individuality and autonomy. We can learn that wisdom comes through mutual respect, cooperation and empathy with others who are quite different from ourselves. We can learn that despite our diversity, that at the end of the day, we are all still just humans and each of us have our own fears, struggles and path to walk in this life.
