I've had many close aquarius friends
and this is how I see them. Do you see them this way, too?aquarius, from my experience are very emotional people behind their air of detachment. They want to love everyone equally, and are extremely humanitarian--a heart of gold. But they are quite judgmental, insecure, emotionally unstable, and righteous, they are trying to change the world and everyone should act a certain way according to them. They live for their friends and for meeting new people and for bringing people together. Their goal is to detach themselves from their ego as much as possible. Along with their ego, they're also trying to detach themselves from their emotions and control them completely. Because of this, they usually have emotional breakdowns, since they try to rationalize their emotions away as if they didnt have any. Very kind and generous people, they know how to make most situations funny and lively, but they don't understand deeper feelings and they lack real sensitivity and understanding about what makes people tick. Again, the most surprising thing to me has always been how insecure they actually are underneath all their strong personality traits and their sense of humor and outgoingness. It's like they constantly compare themselves to everyone, and easily become jealous of others, and just have really really low self-esteem. Though they'll never admit it. At least, it is rare that they do. They have a lot of self-pride believe it or not, and are extremely great at being stubborn and being in denial. Oh, and also very rebellious, and hardworking. But easily influenced and easy to give in to peer pressure, they can easily change their personalities. I know lots of aquariuses that change like the wind. Being ever so feminine, charming, and lovable, the women are almost the perfect example of a beautiful, friendly, caring person with great tact and charm. They are hilarious! Different from libra women though, they have an air about them that screams "i'm unique, quirky and adorable." As a cancer, I have learned a lot from them about social skills, boundaries, and how to be graceful, and calm, feminine, charming, and kind, not to mention adorable IP: Logged |

each person is unique. You can't group all of a certain sign into one category and say that they are this. It doesn't work that way. IP: Logged |

No idea since many of those things are throughout the chart. Especially the first sentence. Emotional make up in the moon.
And that jealous thing? No. Aqua is known to be the least jealous sign. Many of those things can be explained by other planets, like how you think they are all very insecure. Its right next to Cap. So is they have their Venus there like I do, makes ones insecure. Peer pressure? I'd think they'd not do it just because everyone wants them to, they way they stand out and are different. But Cap would care what others thought.IP: Logged |

I seem to attract them, and your description is spot on. The conformism was one trait that also surprised me - deep down they want to conform, it's just that most of the time, they don't know how. As for ego and pride, remember that the opposite sign (what Jung called the shadow) is Leo, so...CrazyAqua, it's possible that women are different from the men. Again, from experience, when they have legitimate reasons to be jealous, they don't acknowledge it. And the rationalization, always "I'm not jealous, I never am, but I have logical reasons to be annoyed by her ex who does such and such..."  IP: Logged |

maira...exactly! that is so true about the rationalization lol...great job. I also think they are loners at heart and have problems trusting others. I have met so many aquariuses who are misanthropes at heart. It's like people disappoint them, since they have such a high ideal of how others should behave. I also think they do care a lot about what others think, like you said, they want to conform but don't know how...they are too quirky, too independent minded, too real, and too different from everyone else and ahead of their time! they couldn't possibly fit in. but they feel lonely. almost always. so they try to fit in by changing their values. Very complex, these people. And they always feel lonely, that's the saddest part. an air sign 'till the end...emotional, unstable and changeable, and needs other people very much.IP: Logged |

maira, also, i have to add that that is so true about leo being the shadow. Aquas try to get rid of their ego, while leos try to embrace their ego. Both try to be unique, but for completely opposite reasons. Aquas don't do it to please themselves, but to bring others together, to please others. And yes, they are very similar in many ways including their stubborness and pride IP: Logged |

oh, CrazyAquarian, the most emotional aqua i knew had a mercury and moon in aqua and her only personal sign in water was venus in piscesshe did have sun square pluto, though. that's pretty huge for being emotional. but i mean is it a coincidence that all the other aquariuses i have known have been just as emotional and insecure once you got to know them?

ok i want to ask something
i knew two Aquarians [men] and they both were liars, they lie for making an impression, a false impression like they are angels directly from heaven and rest of the world is just ending up in hell. I mean they bragged A LOT about false things. m an Aries and i have a very very limited patience for lies and also for bragging about something you don't actually have. and God has blessed me with some great powers to see the lie when its being told. This is so annoying that they think they own the world while other people are probably small animals.is this because of low self-esteem that they have to LIE to impress people? IP: Logged |

Lol, the reason why they lie is a mystery to me too. Leos do that too, but for them it's pretty clear why - they do like to inflate their ego. Aqua's motives are more complex, could be anything from trying to shock someone to insecurity, they do it for fun, whatever really. quote:

Yes, my mom is like that. Misanthrope describes her very well - they are walking contradictions, one minute they love humanity, then they change because they feel were wronged and human kind is crap. Very idealistic about human nature, I always explain to her that giving is the reward itself, not what the person you gave to does afterwards. IP: Logged |

The last one I knew (sun and asc) would just use people for what she could get from them, then just dump them when they were no further use to her and at the same time being a complete control freak.. Though she put on a 'Aren't I so ditzy and lovely' persona.
So very two faced. IP: Logged |

Are we talking about Sun signs or... just the sign in general?As an Aqua rising I can relate to some things you have written.. but not others. I have always been able to relate to Aquarian descriptions though and even though I am not I feel that I am a pseudo Aqua hehe I dont have much air in my chart but 2 of the big 3 are in air signs! very emotional people behind their air of detachment yes, but am only detached when I am aquaintances with someone.
They want to love everyone equally yes, but my moon in Libra could describe this too
But they are quite judgmental not really but I notice I can be depending on who I am hanging around?! I strive not to be though because I want to love everyone equally , insecure yes, but I have some screwed up chart placements, emotionally unstable again with the chart placements lol , and righteous I dont think so?, they are trying to change the world and everyone should act a certain way not at all. I appreciate uniqueness my favourite saying is 'each to their own'
Their goal is to detach themselves from their ego as much as possible I am not sure that I understand what you mean
they're also trying to detach themselves from their emotions and control them completely not trying to detach ourselves but yes try to control them (this may come across as detached?) but only because we are so emotional and we have such an awareness of others impressions of us that we know they need to be kept under control. Again.. this could be my other strong scorpio/taurus chart influences
they usually have emotional breakdowns I dont think that is related to any aquarius influencesince they try to rationalize their emotions away as if they didnt have any.I don't understand this either
t they don't understand deeper feelings and they lack real sensitivity and understanding about what makes people tick I'd say we're misunderstood
easily become jealous not at all, and this is coming from an Aqua rising with Taurus Sun.Venus and Scorpio Mars and Saturn!The only time I have been jealous is in a relationship and when I have had reason to (eg. guy is flirting with another girl.. I am sure a lot of other signs are like this.)
really low self-esteem maybe... but I think this is also conditioning from your environment but tbh most aquas I know have low self-esteem.. and leo suns I have known are the complete opposite
Oh, and also very rebellious, and hardworking yes
But easily influenced and easy to give in to peer pressure, they can easily change their personalities IME yes ... Being ever so feminine, charming, and lovable, the women are almost the perfect example of a beautiful, friendly, caring person with great tact and charm. They are hilarious! Different from libra women though, they have an air about them that screams "i'm unique, quirky and adorable." aqua rising and libra moon ...I am both! hehehe  with brooding taurus scorpio energy underneath! Hope you didn't mind me analysing and of course I am only speaking from my perspective. My chart is striking (yes striking! I don't really like it because it's strong) and my chart ruler uranus aspects a lot of planets. I guess this is why I relate to aquarian energy a lot. Actually I would say that I relate to Aquas moreso than my sun sign and two of my best friends have their sun conjunct my ASC, so I know them quite well too I love my aqua women friends though it's usually an intense friendship for me.

its some deep rooted insecurity i have found in both cases. they don't have something which they desperately need and they try to pretend(to both others and themselves) that they have it, while actually they don't my problem is that i can stand anything but lies and bragging about something which you don't actually posses (that's also lie in my eyes), they don't even understand that other person is aware of their reality and isn't exactly buying the **** they are selling
and i swore to God i will stay miles away from aquas after my recent acquaintance with one.. hell of a time, God knows how i stopped myself from killing him

Venus in Pisces is more than enough right there.
Aqua are insecure about their emotions. Not insecure in general.
Aqua is surrounded by signs that truly have the qualities that you say Aqua does, so most of them people know probably get it from their others signs. So its easily to get an unclear picture of a sign. Like people who think Libra are jealous, its next to Scorpio.
That person also has venus trine pluto which will intensify how they express it. And moon opps jupiter, exaggeration in emotions.
Moon conjunct saturn, insecure. IP: Logged |

Also those emotional breakdowns are a possibility. Of course Aquas are emotional, but not outwardly, unless you have a disorder everyone is, Aqua is just detached from it and if they don't deal with it that can lead to breakdowns.IP: Logged |

haven't met any lying aquas, but definitely the whole use people till they are no longer of use to you is very true in my experience. and yes, i think that is really fake. crazy aquarian i dont understand what u mean when u say that they are right next to tan emotional sign? huh. that doesnt automatically mean anything, signs right next to each other are supposed to be totally opposite. and yeah in my experience, they are trying to be rational and treat everyone equally, but since that's really hard to do, they hold back how they feel for a really long time until one day they burst out with what they really think about you. cuz they want to love and accept everyone no matter what, but thats not normal. again ignoring their emotions IP: Logged |

Do they have any close conjunctions? I just wanted to mention -- sometimes the aspects will make a person seem passionate/emotional, regardless of the sign.
