I'm a female by the way. If I were to be any other sign, I'd be an aqua, definitely. The girls represent everything I want to be.IP: Logged |

I think that you guys have no pretenses and you express how you really feel. Like molly ringwald in her movies, how she could so easily express anger or sadness and the real feelings she had at that moment. Totally ladylike and feminine but not too moody, crabby, or vulnerable like other women They are also independent, sociable, and really honest about themselves and what their life is really like without coming off as clingy or needy. They can make people laugh..they're fun and quirky. they can be themselves and show their personality without being an arrogant self-centered leo (lol). They always do things with tact. What's not to love? IP: Logged |

hey thanks  Aries women are a bit too um...energetic for me to consider my role models. It makes me think they are unstable, and like you said, can explode at any moment, or change mood to being really serious for no reason all of a sudden or something. But you're right, most aries women are just very easy to admire. They're awesome. Cancer women are my second fave role models lol. I'm a cancer woman. I would've said libra women...but they are too sweet and over the top with the trying to make you feel comfortable thing for my tastes (but they're probably my 3rd fave =] They are sooo sweet!). Could've said taurus women, too. But they are usually too difficult for me to understand (their thought process). And leo women are awesome, but much too attention-seeking. If only they weren't, and they were more like aquarius and tried to make everyone feel included, too, then they would be. IP: Logged |

Loool yeah hehe. Except for sag, pisces, and virgo. Pretty much =]You mean the libra women making others feel comfortable thing, no? I guess I admire capricorn women for their hardworking qualities but that's it. Other than that they have no personality to me. Sorry, don't mean to offend anyone. It's like they have all the bad qualities of a stubborn aqua at their coldest. IP: Logged |

I adore Cancer women...very very likable women. Funny thing here, when I was young I always drew in Cancer females as friends. I was kind of like "the pitbull" amongst them ALL because Cancer women are not confrontational...and Most Aquarians won't allow any form of disrespect or underlying insult go unaddressed Cancer women are just so smart, nurturing and have that natural finesse---We don't have that by a long shot! I never liked any Leo women I've met thus far who were my peers except both long term relationships I had, their mothers were Leos. One was just sooo hard to read and came off hard to please and the other was just a ball of fun and treated me like her daughter. But I just can't blend with the ego stuff many have.... But Its a beautiful thing to see someone express the adoration towards Aqua women. We're generally about humane efforts, good friendships and being "outside of the box" So thank you

Yes a lot of leo women are amazing...They share a lot of qualities with aquarius. They even look pretty similar usually. It's just that they have the self-centered thing which is really unsettling to me. Same thing here. I just can't deal with it. Everything revolves around them and ur expected to cater to them and i always end up feeling neglected. Believe it or not, I also think libras have a very similar self-centeredness. Like, you would never guess it because they can make you feel so comfortable and they're so passive and sweet usually, but at the end of the day it's like they have to be the most beautiful looking at any event, they have to have all these pictures of themselves, they have to draw attention to themselves and feel important somehow. And i feel like all their big need for lots of friends and relationships is kind of just an effort to use people to flatter themselves, to make themselves look and feel more important. Lol, i would know...i have libra rising.I actually think cancer and aqua women are pretty similar in quite a few ways. And you're welcome of course =) I am sure there a lot more people than you think who admire aqua women. You seem to think most people wouldn't. I think most people admire this sign! IP: Logged |

Why would you want to be us?I would reconsider. It's not fun constantly having to prove to people that you are not frigid or weird. It's not a trip in the park, to have a lot of people disagree with your views and ways of being, especially in relationships. It's not fun constantly being disconnected to some degree. I don't know about other aquas but I've spoken to quite a lot on other forums.. they agree with me. The pisces in me craves attachment, it makes me feel very lonely. The Pisces side of me craves understanding, one on one intimacy, I crave wanting to belong in the group. But I know I'm not and never will "belong" I'm my own person. I'm not meant to belong and "fit in" I'm meant to lead - which apparently something I do without notice- It's not fun feeling different and alienated all the time, being persecuted because you have opposing views in almost everything and people assume you're that way to push a button or two when truly that's not the case. It's not fun feeling detached all the time, it's not fun when you want to cry with your friend, but you just cannot, and go back to acting like some boring robot it's not fun being accused of being a sociopath or some sort. It's not fun in relationships responding late to your opposites reactions "late" if at all, it's not fun knowing for some reason your lack of action or reaction is what is making your partner feel insufficient and insecure. It's not fun when you want to just feel and act on those feelings of intensity but you can't. It's not fun detesting vulnerability and would rather stick to your pride, it's nor fun having to explain to most people why you didn't contact them for days to weeks, and trying to explain to them that you do care about them and that you "leaving" had nothing to do with them. It's not fun being stubborn, and set in your ways. It's not fun being called insensitive and unresponsive just because you show your love through different ways not through traditional ways. It's not fun being accused of being a bad partner in general when you are only listening to the person, putting together your thoughts and what's being said and forming something meaningful to say, but your partner(s) don't see it that way they dont "believe" you. It's not fun being criticized for being curious and yes a little "zaney" you can't understand what's "zany" about feeding curiosity. It's not that great constantly trying to "understand" everything including your own feelings and emotions and when that fails to happen you grow frustrated as feelings and emotions are not meant to be understood, they are meant to be felt nothing more nothing less, but that's not acceptable for us. No fun at all. Being a mega Aquarian is cool and all but it's really not that great. Deep inside we just want to be understood but we constantly have to battle that contradiction we probably will never fully understand ourselves hence why most will never "get us". This is why I have a hard time balancing my Pisces influence and my mega Aquarius influence. One wants to be apart, alone, and the leader/innovator, and the other craves togetherness one on one, craves to be loved and admired, understood. It's one or the other, it cannot be "both" as I have not learn to integrate both. Add problems, when I personally find my own feelings inadequate and nonsensical, you can imagine why I decide to suppress. Yes talking about feelings is okay because I'm not attached to them (says my therapist) I can only "discuss" serious matters when I am not "attached" to them emotionally. It's not that great being an Aquarian. We are different yes, but personally it's a love/hate thing. IP: Logged |

Awwwwww! That was an amaziiing post! wow.I think maybe that's why cancers and aquas are drawn to each other after all. They are so different but I feel that I do understand aquas. So cancers make aquas feel understood and loved unconditionally which we cancers are very good at doing, and they fill our life with fun and with living in the moment. Oh, and we cancers give aquas insight about what their feelings mean! I've experienced all those things with aquas in the past. No, feelings aren't just meant to be felt. =) I try to understand them, too. But i think we water signs are a lot better at that than air signs, because you guys only THINK about feelings instead of feeling them out and THEN thinking about them. You have to feel them to also be able to understand why they're there. But you have to feel them first. Accept them, be sad, cry, suffer a little, etc. Lol. Aquas I think try to ignore their feelings and think that by trying to understand why they are there they will be able to stop feeling that pain and be able to completely control their feelings. Oh no sirree. lol. You can never control feelings, not even by understanding them. I guess you can only be accepting of them and that's it. IP: Logged |

You may be onto something! My NN is in Virgo and I do admire Virgos, with their quiet confidence and practical intelligence.I also admire the strength, bravery, and resilience of Aries, Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and especially Sag.

No. The difference between Aquarius and Scorpio is scorpio is entirely emotionalyl based and comfortble with that. Aquarius is airy, mental based no emotional. We are loners and detached. Scorpios are loners because they are jsut too intense and dark, emotionally. IP: Logged |

This is why I really liek people with Cancer placements. They mirror everything I secretly wish to express. I like watchign them because they are comfortable with all their emotional expression. Its almost as if I live throguh them without having to get my hands wet.Im not sure if I get along with Cancers more because of my Pisces moon and venus. The clinginess and possessiveness though can get overwhleming but I appreciate it. I may seem off base and seem like I do not care, but I do, I understand from a Cancerian POV that you guys just care. Its common though for a cancer to misinterpret my silence for indifference but I truly care and I appreciate the cling factor some of you guys have. I stick around because I genuiely like you guys. The ignoring thing is correct. Imagine doing it for years, Thats basically my entire childhood, ignoring my feelings and emotions. So when I feel things now Im still at the emotional level of a child - i was never taught to embrace them, never taught to accept or understand them - crying for example i understand all of these things on a mental level but I can necessarily do it. My bf for example has Cancer moon venus and mercury, sure hes very clingy and needy and soemtimes I dont understand his possessiveness he doesnt believe me when I say "i will be back" But Im a loyal friend and a lover, if im fixed on someone i wont leave them. You guys teach me a lot about how I feel. Trust me, if i were not dating this guy I would't attempt to get in touch with my emotional side. He teaches me a lot. And yes you are also correct, Cancers make me feel exactly how you described. I dont have to say much and they accept it. Which is something I admire. I wotn speak for all aquas, but I ignore what you guys embrace because I dont understand it, it doesnt make sense to me, I was never taught to accept it. Cancers/Capricorns control their urges, and Aquarians control themselves emotionally, they will not express jealousy, possessiveness, but I will tell you all of those things, are there. I just refuse to express it. I must maintain control within myself at all times haha. But thats why I like Capricorn and Cancer!

I have Aquarius N. Node house 9The role models I have in real life are my friend who is a Taurus Sun. She has always been a hard worker. She came from a very unstable family. But still was successful in high school, went to college. And with no one in her family really helping her with that after college she lived in our basement for 2 years. (my mom never had her pay rent) Today she lives in an apartment and might move into a rent house with one of her friends and her bro. I also admire her opinionated-nes. lol Of course she is smarter than me, but we are very like minded people. And her views have really molded mine. (She also is a Cappy Rising, Gemini Moon, Taurus Mercury, Cappy Mars, Gemini Venus,Pluto Scorp) Me and my sister are a little concerned, cause shes 25, and still goes out every weekend to drink. She also has a toxic friendship that went to her high school. Me and my sis and a lot of other people never liked this girl. This girl is a Scorpio Sun...I wonder if their opposition in Sun signs plays a role in their toxic love/hate friendship.(I'm sure it's more than that though) When ever those two are off, my Taurus friend will want to make plans with my sister...and but when Taurus friend is back on with her Scorp friend she will go months with out talking to my sister...it's really wired and messed up. It's wired how when she is friends with that girl that she can't be friends with my sister. My friend has been though a lot and I honestly think she should invest in some kind of therapist or counselor. But other than that I will always look up to her for getting though school and more successfully without anyone's help. My friend from high school, Cappy Sun she grew up in a trailer park at first, her folks split up, it's pretty much always been her and her mom. She does well in school, usually has a job too, and has the liveliest social life ever...like how does she do it!? Must be all the Cappy and Sag in her chart. (also has Cappy Moon, Sag Venus and Mars, Pluto Scorp, and Neptune Uranus Cappy)
And who'da thunk I'd ever find my Libra sister to be a role model. lol Not exactly cause shes good in school and has a good job. lol More so because she lives a very stable healthy life, and she is organized, something me and my mother lack. She knows what is healthy in any relationship, from Marriage to friendships, and what kind of behavior is exceptionable of people, and what food is healthy. She has a good marriage, already has a house nicer than my parents, knows how to keep her place nice, she cooks good meals(I don't really cook yet. lol), she has always been organized and from an early age messes have always bothered her. She is also good at giving me and mom reality checks. (she also has Gemini Rising, Virgo Moon, Venus Scorpio, Cappy Mars, Pluto Scorp) But yeah my sister is definitely a positive and stable influence in my life.

You summed up Libra women nicely. Although I did know ONE who wasn't miss prim and fancy...but she vowed for attention by using her gift of gab. I could always tell she wanted attention diverted back to her, but I liked her Thing is...once I dated someone she didn't want but I guess you could say she acted like she was "saving him for later" she disappeared on me. I've found a few Libra women are threatened by Aquarians, but only intellectually speaking because they have the girlish quality in the bag... IP: Logged |

@LindisfarneWowwwwwwww that was a very pessimistic spill right there. Don't get me wrong...you told ALL truth and this is def how you feel. However I saw that Pisces in you fixate on "why you shouldn't want to admire an Aquarius" and you gave yourself no credit for the good of you or the sign. Sounds like you really despise it basically. I get the confusion you have...and wow you semi-sex with this...Whereas I square with feelings. Chart Ruler Pluto; I intimidate ppl by presence alone. I was a volatile child but the Capricorn in me fought against acting out the older I got. My Sun sign gets lost up in me under all this Water and Earth. So I understand you! However I'm sure as you continue towards your NN in life things will become more and more manageable and hopefully you're surrounded by the persons who can allow you to be YOU even with all the internal confusion.

Stawr, I enjoyed reading your post. Thanks for sharing. And lindisfarne, we're totally on the same page. Lol. Oh, and I also think that scorpio heavy aqua women are extremely expressive. Very sensual, kind, and expressive. Total sweethearts. They never come off as cold toe, which isn't typical for an aqua. Those are some of my favorite people, aquas woth scorpio moons. Whenever you see someone with air and water in their sun moon or asc think "total sweetheart".I also think you described the cancer/aqua dynamic perfectly. Thank you! IP: Logged |

Intense aquavixen, Let's look at the good and the bad. let's be fair---it's my libra rising talking lol. We've already mentioned all the most terrible qualities of Librans, but let's mention the good which I also admire about them a lot. I think Libra women are an inspiratim to us all. I mean they may not be the best people to have a friendship with where you feel like they are giving back as much as you are giving them, but they act as role models for how everyone should act, even though their character outside of the spotlight isn't always ideal. They're organized, keep everything around them beautiful at all times, balanced and never have crazy emotional outbursts or bursts of temper. They're like the perfect example for all of us on how to lead an organized life, like Stawr mentioned about her sister. I think that is why Saturn is exalted in Libra. Because when libra applies the qualities of Saturn in their life, there is no stopping them.IP: Logged |

I can respect that! There's vices and virtues in ALL signs at the end of the day However, we like who we like or who we can at least tolerate. I haven't been exposed to enough Librans as associates and surely not as friends! I get instantaneously turned off by attention-seekers...so befriending a Libra woman on that alone, won't happen. Libra men...DRIVE ME CRAZY to some serious degrees. I can deal with Libra guys only for a very brief time be it associate or date. As long as its via phone...I'm good. In person it ruins everything everytime. Always a stalemate! The arrogancy and indecisiveness of many Libras just gets my panties in a bunch. I admire the intellect and the artistic value they have but again idk much about Libran women to boast their positives...
