and yeah i actually have north node in aqua, and in the 5th house. so in a sense i am trying to be both more aqua and leo-like. i totally understand the aqua's point of view bc i also often keep my ego in check bc i dont want to shine too bright since it might make others feel unequal lolIP: Logged |

lol I know, but I don't trust the astro.com list of aspects, because in my chart, some of them are missing. IP: Logged |

I would generally agree, but there are variables and two different types in each sign.On one side of the fence there are Aquarians that have gone thought the emotional breakdowns you mentioned RunAroundScreaming, but a lot of it was because of some form of “traumatic episode” in there life that has a lasting effect. Even, Whoa City has experienced a not so easy life. But it helped her become more progressive. I could also name a couple Aquarians and there experences. But I'm trying to keep this as short as possible. quote: Originally posted by amowls**: No. I've never had an emotional breakdown in my life. I'm also an atheist and lazy. I'll break down the rest of it later when I'm not on justmy phone.
On the other side of the fence are Aquarians such as amowls. Unfortunately I haven’t had much encounters with these Aquarians and can’t comment. Even then the encounters are vary general anyway. With that said I would agree to a point, but it can’t universally applied to all Aquarians. As for me I tend to draw in a lot of the Aquarians you mentioned RunAroundScreaming. I know how Gemini of me to say, but its either Leo/Aquarius all end up bumping into all the time. ---------------------------------------- Capircorn Rising Gemini Sun, 5th House Aries Moon Mercury in Gemini Venus In Taurus Mars In Cancer IP: Logged |

It would make you appear that way. Venus is ones expression, especially since she's a female.IP: Logged |

I guess you're right CrazyAquarian. Don't really know. Just saying, I've found aquas to be more emotional than even most other signs. It's just a suprising quality i've found about them that i guess i thought i should share IP: Logged |

Of course, Thats way some Aquarians can get along with Cancers. They have a somewhat similar emotion structure. Both have moods that come and go IP: Logged |

You can't generalise. Cos personally if I were to name two signs of the zodiac that were generally really insecure, it'd be Cancer and Virgo.Cancer, cos of experiences. And Virgo, cos I'm a virgo and I'm too self critical. Oh and lots of Aquariuses are that way cos of their pisces aspects. Just like alot of cancers are cheaters cos of their gem aspects. IP: Logged |

I agree with you Lonake. But the difference with the jealousy thing is, I as an Aquarian have to walk away. I would rather live without a partner who made me feel jealous than live with them. Can't handle that emotion AT ALL. Just cut my losses straight away.My sister as a Scorpio, almost revels in it and doesn't think a relationship is worth anything without an element of jealousy in it. I have dreadful pride. Again put your hat on and leave dear Aqua. When I see people swallowing theirs, it makes me feel physically sick, as if it's me personally who has to do it. Can't begin to tell you how many jobs and relationships I've ditched because of it! Jeez! No wonder I have been married 3 times IP: Logged |

I think inside a lot of Aquarians there is a lil cesspool of ugly negative feelings and thoughts and it just sorta rots there. It must be tough I think trying to be this great humanitarian type person when you're up against regular ol' human (animals) all day long. At least this is what I get from people with strong Aqua stelliums I know, they hint about it, but I don't think they'd ever harp too much on it as it doesn't really make them look good. They do the chin up thing and don't want to associate with these substandard humans cos they think they're better than that. The curse of Air.IP: Logged |

interesting stuff. well i was mentioned so i might as well chime in. i don't think i'm better than anyone else; the activity of attempting to detach from ego doesn't make a person 'better'. it's just the way we are and what we do. it's just one blip on the spectrum, in which all signs and their tendencies are valid. that is to say, all signs have their strengths and purposes. i guess it's easy to think we must think we're better since we spend so much time in our heads and threorizing; we don't connect or 'click in' to experiences as easily, and yes we do try to do what's right via this detachment. that doesn't make us better, but it does make us misunderstood.. i've never been one to try to fit in although i think that when a person has difficulty staying within an emotional framework and one is often misunderstood they will attempt to fit in in order to not stick out so drastically; but it's awkward. i don't personally abandon my principles to fit in though. bunnies, yes i agree with your thoughts on pride and jealousy. i do get jealous but i can't stand the feeling, and yes i'd rather walk away. i think that is 'self-care' as opposed to an inordinate amount of pride, though. i guess it's leo-like in that i want to be the centre of someone's heart (and for it to be reciprocated) but i will not compete for it or tease & hairspray my hair into a mane for it either. yesterday i was listening to my favourite song ever in the entire world and i was thinking how it seems to encompass both aquarian and leo energies. it's such an amazing song and builds up with such a dramatic swell but the thoughts and feelings expressed in the lyrics are so aquarian, to my mind. and it illustrates their similarities. peter gabriel's signal to noise: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBW2Sk1CvR0 IP: Logged |

hmm, that's interesting. peter gabriel has always been one of my faves and i identify strongly with his lyrics. i just checked out his chart and it turns out he's an aqua (with leo rising!) and his jupiter/DC are right on my sun. his sun is right on my ceres. haha, no way you could call peter gabriel unemotional! i think aquarians try to understand or articulate emotions in terms of how they fit into the bigger picture.. i want amowls to chime in!

It could also be something in your chart and what you attract. Are they outwardly emotional? Or can you just feel/sense it? It just that, yes, we all have emotions, but Aqua is notorious for being unemotional.IP: Logged |

actually, i thimk aquarians pride themselves on being unemotional, unless they have a water moon. but all the aquarius i've met were emotional and insecure. they do hide it very wel, though, whereas with virgo and cancer it is very very obvious. you cant say its the ppl i attract tho bc these are just the aquariuses that have been in the same soacial settings as me, for example, that rode the bus with me, grandma and relatives, a family friend, etc. I didnt attract them nor they me, we just got to know each other bc we were forced to see each other often. Definitely agree to cancers and aquas having similar mood swings and such. about the aqua who said they end relationships when they feel jealousy, i actually didnt mean jealousy of that kind. I guess the word i shouldve used was envy. Like being envious of other people. Like, "i wish i were more like her or like her"
i do think that u guys end relationships too easily though, havent found u to be the most loyal and "stick through it together and resolve the problems" ..u guys just run away IP: Logged |

I can't say much on the suns since only about 3 come to mind at the moment, but I have to say that Aquarian Moons are much more sensitive than the textbooks allow them and what they themselves would like you to believe.

benedict, that is so true. i had a short but sweet fling with an aqua moon once (close orb to my sun, 3 degs) and even though it was only a few days long, well, not only did we have the funnest time together, but he cried when he was leaving me (moving to a different country) and it was the tenderest i think i may have ever seen a man; it really touched my heart. he also opened up to me and cried about his first love.. very sensitive guy with no water placements that spring to mind. but he did try to reign those feelings in and kept a jovial but slightly aloof persona.IP: Logged |

I hope you were in the right mood, my Aquarian friend I always make reference to (that seams to have the same general placments as Whoa City), Always turns to music to calm her moods.
She still has the CD and the song she played when she broke up with her Scorpio bf and plays it time to time. I never thought she was that sentimental. Oh and sorry for draging you in to this thread woah cakes, also its a bit off topic but, the canucks loosing. ---------------------------------------- Capircorn Rising Gemini Sun, 5th House Aries Moon Mercury in Gemini Venus In Taurus IP: Logged |

Woahcakes---aw!Yes, when I read Benedict's post I was shaking my head! Lol. Really true. Know two leos and an aqua with aqua moon, and they are very emotional and sensitive once you get to know them. On the other hand, I know a pisces with aqua moon, and though he's a deep guy and very typical hippie piscean, he is extremely oblivious to other people's feelings and could easily make you cry by the way he treats you. Many of the people who know him agree that he had some kind of problem. He never opened up to me at all or semeed to worry about emotional things, eventho we were best friends for a year. Strange.

But thats what that means. I don't mean you bait them, I mean people generally attract certain types of people in their lives. Usually its something in their chart. Just the energies at work.IP: Logged |

Woahcakes, I dont think you guys think you are better than others, on the other hand, you are trying to learn how to love everyone equally. But I think, forexample, a cancerian might have much of an easier time loving everyone because we can see people's defense mechanisms and understand why they act the way they do. I remember my ex-aqua bestie telling me that is a very important thing that rubbed off on her from me. She learned to understand other people better and have more compassion towards them. You guys try to love everyone by detaching from your ego, but in my opinion since you dont seem to understand emotional reasons for things I havent found u guys to have the most compassion. That's where i feel u guys are kinda judgemental and try to change others and think that they should behave a certain way.I know that the stereotype is always that aquarius is ery accepting of everyone, and in a way, that is true, because they are accepting of people's WEIRDness and quirkiness, and they most definitely dont judge others negatively base on their decision to be rebellious and stand out from the crowd in some way---getting tattoos, dressing like a freak etc lol.....bc i think that aquarians kind of understand i since they seem to have an insitnct inside to defy societal conventions as well, but what I'm saying is, a pisces and cancer are way more understanding and compassionate than aquarius. You guys really try, though, but i feel that u struggle. quote: I wish I had more planets in Aquarius. I have an air void, and it seems like all my friends are air signs... it's hard to relate when I have a ton of Earth.
I only have jupiter, my rising, and my north node in air, and neptune, saturn, and uranus in earth, and I've always---ever since elementary school had air sign best friends. I've never been drawn to earth signs, though, which i have even less of in my chart than i do air. I did notice that i have amazing chemistry with people who are all air and earth though, what I'm lacking in my chart, but their sun has to be air, or else i dont feel much of a connection. I think it might be my libra rising. I hate that I attract air signs so much, because, ...they can never give me what I need in the long run, which is emotional security. My cappy bestie however does a great job at that IP: Logged |

pretty much everything you generalized is not true for me, though! i am extremely and easily compassionate and have a very loving personality. well i do have pisces SN and venus on my AC on the first. i can only speak for myself. i resonate with some of the aquarian energy you theorize about, but for the most part i have to say you don't really understand 'us' if i can speak for all of 'us', but have a good grasp of the stereotypes!
