Author	Topic: aquarius and ego
heart cakes unregistered	posted February 23, 2009 07:26 AM i've read here and there about the aquarian ego being something of a "thing". as an aquarius, i agree with this, to an extent, in theory, but then again, as an aquarius, pretty much everything is theory. sometimes i get a sense of it; about how we are just as egotistical, if not more, than leos, but usually it feels sorta off (because we are naturally so detached and in our heads and usually WANT to be). then tonight i made a discovery. i was hanging out with three friends and realized, my ego is the GROUP. i feel energized and animated when the group itself is energized. and my purpose, if i may call it that, is TO energize it. now on some level that involves having (and giving) attention, ultimately. right? okay this is the closest i've come to understanding the aquarian ego paradox. but it was like a flash of insight that i'd like to explore more if anyone has info, ideas, theories, etc..

bunnies Knowflake Posts: 216 From: u.k Registered: Apr 2009	posted February 23, 2009 08:53 AM I know exactly what you mean and I cannot for the life of me see why many people can't grab this (to me) screamingly obvious concept. I always energise the group because then it becomes the most powerful thing, like a giant achieving unit working as one. perhaps Aquas are the ants of the astological kingdom!! But it is a conundrum as to how we are so individualistic and yet can drop the ego when it comes to the benefit of a group. And I always feel the need to share the rewards equally even if do most of the work Not in a sanctimonious way. It just makes sense! Then everyone feels a part of it. IP: Logged

Fierce Dravidian unregistered	posted February 23, 2009 10:11 AM Both due to their fixity might be stubborn but the platitude of egocentricity is different between Aquarius and Leo. IP: Logged
Fierce Dravidian unregistered	posted February 23, 2009 10:22 AM Its not good to compare yourselves with Leo though since y'all are not octaves of your opposite in a manner similar with Geminis and Sagittarians. But the Water Bearer of Intuition for the masses sentiment should suit Aquarians nicely even though Aquas may be detached lone souls who nevertheless have many many friends. But these sudden Uranian lightning bolts of intuition probably come into being when you are among other people. IP: Logged

Libralove09 Knowflake Posts: 0 From: Registered: Oct 2009	posted February 23, 2009 11:15 AM i feel that way about leo's amowls. do you think its a fixed thing? p.s., on the topic - this idea sounds like it makes sense, but iv not come accross an aqua with an ego, but iv never been part of any movement. lol IP: Logged

Green Fairy unregistered	posted February 23, 2009 02:26 PM I know 3 Aqua Sun people have an ego the size of Europe. They're a more "freaky, detached Leo". Scorpio Moon, all 3 of them. Everyone has an ego, it's how one expresses it though. IP: Logged
Libralove09 Knowflake Posts: 0 From: Registered: Oct 2009	posted February 23, 2009 02:31 PM yeh, everyone has an ego, but when some one says "that person has an egoo" they mean they are egotistical. aka, head is up there own ass. or there head too big. lol IP: Logged
WaterDog unregistered	posted February 23, 2009 03:03 PM I cannot say how your group dynamic works. However, you seem to be confusing the general concept of 'ego' (meaning, a problem with believing you are magnificent) and group dynamics. It's great that you feel you energize your friends. In my experience...this was opposite. They were self-absorbed and panicked when anyone stood against them in any subject. Often drama-queens. Truly believed they were more talented, more vibrant, more fabulous and amazing than any other, even their friends. Sorry, my experience with them. You may not be that way. I don't know you.

Thethirdbenjamin unregistered	posted February 23, 2009 11:51 PM I kinda agree with you amowls, I never rally notice aquas having egos. Chances are the average aqua is nice and kind that you won't notice it. I did bump into one Aqua that I just couldn't get along because she had the ego of being always right and having her ideas her way. But after her I find that the others are pretty much l I don't argue because I agree anyway and on the "same page". So chances are I probably don't notice, But she was an exception thought. Now that I think about I think I must have boosted one Aquas ego, I was working with him in team and I pretty much glorified what a nice person he was. I agreed it was well deserved anyway. Well you guys are better then those smug Libras, that think there all that, At least you guys are nice. IP: Logged
amowls Knowflake Posts: 4 From: Falls Church, VA, USA Registered: Apr 2009	posted February 23, 2009 11:55 PM Aqua Mercuries always think they're right (and trust me, they usually are ). You just happened to meet one with an opposing view of you so you got to see the annoying stubborn always right Aqua lol. IP: Logged
Thethirdbenjamin unregistered	posted February 24, 2009 12:02 AM I think your right my sister although she is a Capricorn she has a Mercury in Aqua. she doesn't want to admit shes wrong half the time, were as with me a Gemini Mercury I try to look everything from logical way. But we've learned to accept each others view point, although both of us are always firm before and after we enter a debate. amowls, Do you have mercury In Aqua? I wouldn't say always more like 9/10 time right. But I agree most of the time. I'm glad were on the "same page". IP: Logged
23 Knowflake Posts: 250 From: The Strand Registered: Apr 2009	posted February 24, 2009 12:08 AM Nah Aqu are definitely egotistical except we hide it and pretend that it doesn't exist. It is a strange combination of being very hardheaded and egotism and knowing that you are just so brilliant and unique and yet being in a group so others see this yet not wanting to be a part of them - "U Can't Touch This" type of thing going on. I agree with all the sentiments on here. Other Aqu overall grate on me, the ego and control. I want to be the one that does that We're a very difficult bunch. Anyway, I like to see some of the polarities as: Aries - I am Libra - You are Leo - Me am Aquarius - We are IP: Logged

heart cakes unregistered	posted February 24, 2009 02:32 AM wow, this is all so interesting! haha we are at once egoless and egoful.. well my definition of ego is basically hanging on to a sense of one's self or mind as being right, better at the expense of true learning. often, usually, it's a fear thing, or a comfort-zone thing. so i guess aquas are used to being alone, in their minds, and spend an inordinate amount of time analyzing and problem solving. which would make us both 1) probablyy more adept at seeing things from a greater perspective than most people and 2) more inclined to believe that means we are right/better and possibly build up our egos too big and screw up the whole point of #1. haha. conundrum indeed!

23 Knowflake Posts: 250 From: The Strand Registered: Apr 2009	posted February 24, 2009 03:10 AM Well as you said we analyse, are detached by nature and spend a lot of time by ourselves not to be influenced and to allow our mind to logically process. Who can beat logic? If something is logically put to you without emotion, how can you defeat that? Also throw in Saturn which is about structure, tradition and rules and you feel that you are the system or the establishment that can't be defeated. This kind of lead me to another thought. I remember some months ago there was a post about the Aquarian hypocritical nature. I can't remember who established the post but I think it is the combination of the somewhat opposing quality of Uranus and Saturn - one tears down structures, one puts them up and maintains them. Aquarians want freedom and the best for others but on their terms. If others establish their freedoms and things on their terms, Aqu doesn't like that and won't follow. This is about control and ego indirectly don't you think? IP: Logged
EighthMoon Knowflake Posts: 102 From: Registered: Apr 2009	posted February 24, 2009 06:19 AM Hiya ((( Cakes! ))) This sounds right to me. A very good friend of mine (we dated a million years ago) has his agenda and thrives when he has a group that will follow. He will not, however, follow any other group, idea, person, etc. There's no give and take, but only give and give...hence the conundrum. Doesn't sound egotistical to give, but it's more like he'll bestow all of his good qualites on those who adore him... 8th Hey 23...how are ya? IP: Logged
