They are good friends because they are idealistic and people use them for stuff all the time....If I were to call a friend and tell him that I'm suffering, and he were an aquarius he would drop all his things and come rescue me, but then expect me to lift him up to the air and take him to a brothel.
it's all a matter of appealing to ideals with aquarius.....but like I said, once you become more of a brother to aquarius than a friend, you see the shadow side.

i think one of the main lesson with Aquarians or with highly Uranus influenced people is to accept that being different is not equal with being "bad". Just because in certain situations they behave in a way we would expect the least doesnt mean there is something wrong with them or that they have no emotions...their behaviour could be as appropriate as yours, even if you would not feel like that. The key world is intention. I think its a fair thing from an aquarian friend/lover/relative to suppose that you will understand/accept him/her under any circumstances, which involves not always saying or doing things the way you would expect. Of course, if you think that they're wrong you should tell them so, cause they might not be aware of it. But never judge! i learned a LOT about this thanks to my SO, who has Sun conjunct Uranus.

Venus I was just thinking that perhaps traditonal astrology is in evoltution, esp with the reformative sign of Aqua. A brilliant statement!!!roadwarrior you are so correct in noting that when we become more than a brother we see the shadow side...I live with the shadow side 24/7 with my daughter. grlygirl, was thinking myself that maybe I have just run into some difficult Aquas. I have another Aqua "friend" who reports himself to be a forever-romantic. Now he is of Itanian heritage so I attributed his passion to his upbringing and not his astro genetics. The difference is, between the Italian Aqua and the other Aqua men in my life is that we have never been intimate and my Italian friend always is there to help, in his Aqua way. My Aqua kid, course I live with so there is a sense of "intimacy" and I had, once, an Aqua gfriend, who was a really good friend, who ended up being the non-friend. again, thank you all!!! t~~ IP: Logged |

Of course aquarian vanity is the image presented to humanity as a hole and not to any specific individual, so as long as aquarian feels they are a good human, being a good friend is not on the priority....it's alway seasier to appeal to idealistic people, that's probably why they are good friends, because they are good people, but lousy friends....so they are "good" friends.IP: Logged |

Thanks 
We should always bear in mind that if someone is lousy,as in this case,first and foremost is because we are also in that equation. We are the element that makes them lousy,because of our character,temperament,taste,preference... But,existence is very much formed by acknowledging(that is,if we dont hear tree falling,has it fallen,anyway) and if there is one person naming aquas as lousy... In the eyes of universe,are  but,really,they are not !!

I agree with this. accepting and being accepted, "normal" behaviour ?????? What do you mean by that? On the other hand, I also agree with the idea of aquarians lacking in relating skills. this is due to: - living in our head, the prevailing considerations in most situations will be theoretical concepts. whatever they are at that moments. and these concepts are personal, or they are a personalised version of a universal (archetypal) concept. because we are all humans and aquarians difficult task is to remind other that whatever we do (or think) is always personal and subjective. aquarius IS paradox - emotions cloud aquarius ability to remain consciously aware of the process explained above. when emotions are involved, it's like driving a car in a slope (?) without any gears. the car just goes quicker and it becomes dangerous. there is other things but I can't think of them right now. I think aqua have a reputation to live by that is not deserved. I remember seeing easy rider I think, where there is this hippy woman that asks to the main character if he's pisces and he replies no he's an aquarius, and she either say something like, how great, or she looks at him "in a sort of awe, I can't remember, but this "shocked" me cause I see all the flaws in aquarius, not any qualities. our only qualities are, may be, that our flaws are not deep flaws. finally hippichick, a pisces is more sensitive, or not so much more "sensitive" but more able to process or feel their sensitivity. that, plus may be you are feeling let down by an aquarian because you identify yourselves to one, to some extent, or at least consider understanding them, which I think you do being partly one, but obviously feeling "betrayed" by one of our "clan" when most in need is traumatising. but having you sun in pisces (plus I think you said your moon is earthly taurus) your approach, and needs will not always reflect your aquarians traits... but I suppose as it has been said above, may be you should voice your impressions of being let down to your aquarian friend, but you should consider that eventually, he will not address the issue in the way, and delay, you expect it, necessarily. and that, if it happens, is not necessarily intentional, but is due to his own natural quirkiness, or singularity. as someone said above, it is all in the intent.

Personally, since about age 4, I've had at least one Aqua in my life. Non-stop. They're usually one of my closest friends, but the ones who have been the closest, tend to have some sort of strong earth in their charts.Isn't Aqua not so much about "friendship" as much as "humanity?" They don't necessarily like individual people, as much as they do the whole of the human collective. If you like everyone on the planet, wouldn't it be harder to separate out and like individuals? What gets to me is more their scientific nature. I have an Aqua friend right now who says she likes people, because they're interesting. I think she means interesting in the sense that she can study them. In order to do that, you need a certain kind of detachment. However, she is very warm, and absolutely devoted to her family.

Whatever at all of ya'll. I'm a good friend. I'm always there for my friends to dump whatever is bothering them this week and I let them cry on my shoulder and don't expect anything out of them. The only time I ever ignore phone calls or texts are if they are from a certain friend who only calls or texts to talk about her bullsh*t boy/girl problems and doesn't care about mine and has been repeatedly a horrible friend. I don't like one sided conversations/friendships. She is a Cap Sun, btw.I also avoid Facebook chat, but that's another thing entirely. quote:

Aquas are so out-of-everything,that they can be detached from themselves
Hippichick,i see how much pisces in you want and love everything connected,but what i have found out is that we are alone,especially in sorrow. Only u know and feel ur heart broken. Aquas are probably the ones who are very much aware of our paradoxal desires  ------------------

It depends on the Aquarian and the opposite sign and if they deem you "worthy".I mean I'm at a level with my Aquarian freind where she's always accomadating to whatever assistance I need and when ever she needs a hand I'm always available. We have the "textbook" Gem - Aquariaous freindship". Talked about in most astrology books. But also are charts are vary good for freindship thought. But, we've tested each other before hand.
Also shes more of a spiritual aquarian and i'm not your "textbook Gem" ------------------------

Well I think Aqua-rians are good aqua-intances (aqua - aqua? lol coincidence?), not necessarily good as close friends.The Aqua people I know have a large circle of friends - They know sooooooooo many people.. and yes maybe they can't always be everything to everyone, since this isn't humanly possible, but they try their best. It's actually very difficult to be on good terms with such a large number of people - so kuddos for that.
PS. And of course there are jerks, thieves and murderers in every sign. But I guess I've been lucky to meet some really awesome Aquarius people.

Well, I have modified my previous hard attitude toward Aqua's cuz of meeting some stellar people with Aqua placements.

cosmic, good point. aquarius is supposed to be about humanity, oprah is the best example i can think of, but some of the aquas i know really dont even like people as a whole not to mention on an individual level.venus, funny thing i dont want everything connected, (hugley aquarian myself) but i do appreciate love. but i have come to know in my ever-growing years that the only true love comes from within. spool i like what you say about aquas deeming one worthy, i see this in my daughter alot. betty, i am currently looking at my interpretation of the word "friend." probably far from what any traditional astrology text means. amianne i agee, like i said before, i have had an ongoing love affiar with aquas for ever, cause i am, largely one. roadwarrior, again i agree totally with this being one of the shadow sides of the aquarius energy..and that i shall contemplate further! pire, you are so so correct in all you say, thank you again! i remember dr phil saying and i am not a fan of his, but i remember him saying that we see in others what we dont like about ourselves... here here!!! blessings all~~~ IP: Logged |

Honestly, I have never gotten this impression of Aquas being cold and distant as friends or as lovers. I've dated Aquas and have Aqua friends. All of them have very strong Aqua energies. My ex even had nearly all of his planets in his eleventh house. However, all of these Aquas, especially my ex have been extremely clingy and controlling, which surprised me.IP: Logged |

Humanitarian ideals applied can be either machiavalian or buddhist it's all up to the individual....what i find more important for friendship is not the sun sign, but the moon sign, and the transfer of energy between teh positive and negative: mars and venus....
and remember ofcourse that aquarians are not just human ideals, but where human ideals overlap with science, reasoning, and can manifest either as acknowledging divine inspiration or becoming completely spiritualy void - a possible negative saturnine effect.
A friend can be great but draining, horrid but uplifting, he or she can be anything, no two humans are alike....that being said there is no sign that makes bad or good friends, but there are certainly aspects between planets that facillitate certain types of wisdoms... For instance, I know, having many planets in the 8th house fruedian psychology almost by instinct, my reptillian side is hyper aware....but my good aspects allow me to empathise and know that there is more to humans, and that I should not assume i know things based on someones sexual habbits, although i will admit, when it comes to really repressed people it's normally spot on - i.e. scientists, lawyers, doctors...etc....they all have learned to cultivate one side of their brain, the logical reptillian side, the one that overlaps with society and cause and effect. They hide everything living life under the assumption that maintaining secrets from others will give them the edge. Luckily for me I am open minded enough, but also critical enough to realize there is room for both carl jung and frued to coexist and compliment each other, all biases aside. But to tell you the truth, I have been a sexual miscreant myself at one time, and it wreaked havoc on my life and integrity. I finally realized that the open wound was my quiet desperation and settling for people that wanted to totaly dominate me..... I have now undergone the taoist 100 day foundation, alone, without help, 100 days of pure celebicy, and found a way to revitalize my youthful lense and zest for life. IP: Logged |

Also I have found peace and contentment....I am at peace with the cosmos feeling robbed of nothing even if I live for 100 years and never get laid again...it doesn't matter anymore...every moment is precious and opportunistic, even work becomes less boring....and then one is faced with the obstacles of becoming happy in the cold or heat, when the senses are disturbed, which is, I say the hardest to accomplish in terms of peace....But anyways.....I have come to a place now, where my mettle will be tested by only my work. It will sink, or it will float, and even if I am a failure I am not a bad soul, but rather moving on to my next task after a perceived failure that was actually a success. And so you understand that this isn't rooted in relativism and just pompous poppey **** I want to inform you that the only way to make a work last and be loved is for you to project yourself on to that work after you have worked on yourself, to purify your individuality, and align it with society, in a way that can acknowledge and coexist with both the dark and light forces.... I am a monotheist by the way, however I believe that each planet is essentialy an angle on a prism, and by it we can diffirentiate the forces of one god by the patters it creates passing through the prism....like a white light beam is still white even when each color is seperated but from our perspective, it's not, it's many seperate colors.... I took this chance to rant before I lost my minds will to do so, I hope you don't mind And remember that Pluto and Dionisius are the same place and person, but only one is under the lense of suffrage, the soulful kind, and the other through the lense of dionysian cult like pleasantries such as intoxication and wild orgies.....Remember also that when one see's Hades, he has an opportunity to ascend and transform and thereby achieve immortality, but him or her who visits hades under the guise that it is a party of sloven hedonism, may fall under the trap that they have achieved immortality by remaining the same.

very wise words, roadwarrior.you should write a book! i would read it! my daughter's moon is in aqua, and she being a quick study at astrology realizes and admits that she is a selfish individual. i told her recently that self-realization is no excuse for bad behavior. my other former "friend" has a gem moon...even colder than my kid, her cancer asc warms her a bit, and he has a pisces venus, asc and a couple more piscen attributes, but he is one cold fish. my daughter told me just yesterday, that her aqua moon lends itself to humanitarian ideals, but cools to individuals close to her, especially family.

My sun is progressed there into aquarius. I think my moon is in aquarius according to the vedic system....and my venus is in aquarius on the tenth.....my line of work and career views appeals to aquarians so I pull them in over time....A capricorn you see.....aquarians need what I like according to the tenth house....not need but rather are drawn too.Besides that I can't think of why an aquarius would like me at all. Thanks for the reading compliment and it's true, self actualization is no excuse for certain behaviours and I should actually take note of that myself...it's why I took time to specificaly mention it in this post.

I’ve sorta played the field with a few Aquarius guys in my day. I had a really good time with one two summers ago, but didn’t work out since he has a girlfriend who is also an Aries like me. I find them to be good with “physical relations” The last Aquarius (also with Aqua moon, Venus and Mars in Pisces) dude was a really good kisser, and taught me new things. But when it came down to it I knew he was putting up a front that he wanted to be in a relationship with me, & that he just wanted to **** and dump. One day I got sick of him bugging me, that I finally said look I’m commitment phobic right now, and probably will be that way for a while. (and that’s the truth) Then he finally admits oh that’s okay, we can still do stuff. UGH, See I knew it. Gross. Also when he said he would wait for me to be ready, (which I really could give a f*** less. I just got out of a long rocky relationship) I found out he was dating a girl for a few days, and when he called me I brought it up, his first response was “how did you find out!?” WTF, duh, I’m your friend on fb, I can see your relationship status changes. And guess what he ****ed and dumped her a few days after. But yeah I have really never had any close Aquarian buddies. My closest friends have always been Virgos, Leos, Libras, Taurus, Cancers, and Geminis, Pisces, and Scorpios. But I have no complaints on Aqua Suns….AS JUST A FRIEND. HAHA I have Mars in Aquarius. I’m the kind of girl who spends most of my life single. The longest I spent NOT being single was almost a whole year (11 months) Went from a month long one with a Cancer guy, to a longer rockier one with the Gemini guy. I feel that am friendly to people in public situations most of the time, I don’t feel like a clingy person either,( some close friends, & everyone else comes and goes). In my early and mid teens physical affection of all kinds freaked me out, (I had some slight child abuse happen in my young teens) I definitely had some walls up. It became apparent to others, & others would point it out but at the time I really didn’t know what to do at the time. And yea, I did eventfully realize that something was wrong with me, and wanted to change, I really have come a long way.

Aquarians are selfish.Not all. But more often than you'd think. For some reason it's not very widely discussed in astro lore, but tis true!
Strong Uranus too, they want things their way, and you have to bend to how they see things or you'll be left out in the cold.
And they're Fixed, so they're not likely to change for anyone. Takes some of em a long long while to learn the art of compromise. IP: Logged |

I have an aquarius ascendant, uranus rules my chart and I have gemini uranus singleton in my 11th house.I know a lot of people, and a lot of people feel drawn to me even though a lot of the time i'd rather be by myself lost in my own thoughts. It's something I can't help, but I think it has to be with me being attractive that people always approach me when I don't want to be bothered. I like to study people, and I am very good at figuring people out and consider myself to be a master detective, lol. I'm not a good friend in a traditional relationship, I prefer the gem-aqua textbook relationship. Cosmic, do you have any planets or NN in aqua? I have my NN at 25 aqua and most of my family has an aspect in 25 aqua or aqua in general, even my dog and roommates. 25 aqua is my favorite aspect because I find it in many famous people or scientists charts lol.
