i'm strangely popular, i don't know why, but at least i pique people's interest. people find me fascinating and want to hang out, and i see them as friends, but they are... not so interesting to me. i feel that they are not the right people for me. i don't feel close to anyone, except my guy. that's not nice.

I have Uranus in the 11th (too) in Aries. When uranus passes (is in) through your 11th house usually changes in your social circle occur, and you meet new and unusual people. I haven't gotten popular (hehe yet), BUT i have befriended "unusual people".
I seem to float towards the alternative, or weird group. I don't feel close-close to them though, they're just.. well friends, aka people i hang out with.

That same thing happens with me, there's always this feeling of loneliness. It just won't go away. I have tons of friends yet i feel lonely. I can be in a crowded room and still feel lonely.

my "popularity" comes from the 11th house ruler Venus in my 1st house Stellium. i used to be extremely self-conscious to the point i developed agoraphobia… thankfully i now feel comfortable and don't think too much of how i receive so much attention for no apparent reason (really, i'd be sitting and drinking a bottle of beer and my mind wandering off to the embarrassing event of farting in front of my guy or something, and the next day "Lechien is so cool" circulating in the community… i should be blessed. ). everything can be good or bad depending on how one interprets it.

and i'm the same, i attract "unusual people" too. well, just come to think of it. i don't know the world outside of this, so i think this is normal, lol…

mel0nfish, that sounds like a blessing to have your moon in the 11th. can it man you are empathetic and that brings your friends close to you?

i'm curious though, "close" friendships must involve 7th house things too. i have my chart ruler Jupiter in the 7th. i don't know why i cannot connect with people. OR, why i don't meet the right friends. astrologically, that Uranus in the 11th and Neptune at AC. am i too wishy-washy and hard-to-grasp???

*It's never the same

*I useally have a few close friends, and aqantances.

*But right now I feel like I just have friends.

*I useally have someone that I consider my best friend for a few years...but lately I don't see certain people as much still see them though. And some people I've drifted apart from. Some just from drama.

*So I don't obsess over who is my best friend anymore, I figure 'what is the point? So many people come and go, and sometimes come back' And lately when I get too close to someone it leads to drama. I had a falling out with an ex best friend last year. One friend I had drama with, we tried to be friends after but it just wasn't the same. And then my other friend, it was like it never happened.

*But I think I've been having more drama than I have in the past because of Saturn in my Sun Signs 7th house of other people.

*And I finally leaned that family is a tiny bit more important than friends.

*Sometimes I feel popular sometimes I don't
*Sometimes I feel loved, sometimes I feel lonely...wheather I am psyhically alone or not.

*I also want to just be friends with guys right now...it's not going well...cause my body is too banging I guess. LOL But seriously it's frustrating.

Edit: Oh it get it now. So Aries Sun house 11...so...Mars in Aqua House 10.

now, i don't know the transits but i've become a hermit. i cut contact with everyone… at the moment, i feel like i need a "real friend". i feel guilty because i keep making up excuses to not meet my "just friends" at the moment. i will lose these friends eventually probably…

and as some of you, i also prefer guy friends. if girls, i tend to feel more comfortable with the kinds who i can leave for 3 years and contact again and it's like we just met up yesterday… i think that's my 1st house Sagittarius Stellium!

but lately, i'm wondering why i don't have a girlfriend who i can go to a spa treatment with! isn't that what normal girls do!? LOL! never thought i'd be into that stuff!

why not? can that mean that you acquire friends through your projects and life-pursuit, or that you will find those opportunities and aids in friends? [/B]

Haha, leave it to Sag to see the bright side. I guess you're right about that, I just never looked at it that way. The 10th house has never been a friendly place for me for one thing, but maybe with a real career now things will change.

You'd think with all those placements I'd have a ton of friends, but I really have none.

I categorize relationships like this:
Strangers
Acquaintances - people you know on an impersonal basis, coworkers you sort of know at work, friends of friends that you've been to parties with but wouldn't hang out with on your own.
"Buddies" - people you can call to hang out with but wouldn't call in a situation like e.g. a family member dying or a break up.
Friends
Family

Pisces is said to be a very receptive, charming , laid back but complex energy. So what does that say about my friends?

I get on with non-judgemental , open-minded and peace-loving people the best.
I can't stand boasters, people who become too comfortable with me the first time they see me. That kind of freaks me out.

So my Pisces cusp on the 11th makes close aspects(trine) with my Venus-Saturn conjuction (in Scorpio )planets sitting in the 7th house.

I know I come across as a very nice guy. Somewhat a little reserved, but nice, and so I usualy attract and am similarly drawn to very mild-mannered/polite people.

But deep down, I am actualy a loner. I don't mind company ,now and again, but would much rather spend time alone.

In fact, I've been known to leave people sitting around in a group and just be on my own.

I am not sure what transits hit, but I've experienced betrayals which totally transformed my view of friendships.

Now, my idea of friendship is no-holds barred (Uranus) meeting of minds, friendly, boundary filled. And I don't like Martians as my friends. They tend to betray.

I have Libra 11th house. Pluto is there, but in Scorpio, and the Sun and Saturn are really on the cusp, but technically in 12th. I'm not sure if I should count them. Pluto in 11th would suggest an all or nothing attitude, as in a few very good friends or none at all, but no average friends or distant friends. I'm not like that. I find my attitude towards friendship is more represented by Libra's ruler Venus in Sagittarius and 1st, conjunct Neptune not so much. I have a lot of friends but I'm quite flighty about friendships and don't really maintain them. I make friends in one place and move on to the next one, and so on. As a result I don't have too many close friends (possibly a Scorpio Pluto influence there if you change the point of view: I could be doing this to keep people at a distance, but the truth is that it's my nature: I just keep on moving forward) I also actively search for other people to talk to, which is a representation of the 1st house.

Friendships are pretty few and far between for me. It's not that I can't make friends, quite the contrary, but I seem to dismiss people quite easy if they don't live up to my expectations. I suppose I'm quite demanding.

I have a hand full of friends that I have known for years and I consider them true friends.
