The security officer at work is an Aquarius. He has...

Moon in Taurus
Mercury, Venus in Capricorn
Mars in Scorpio.

He is the most open douchebag I've ever met. He constantly brags about the attention he gets from girls (he has a very built upper-body, beefcake, yes, but his ego just ruins it.) He has a list in his mind of girls he thinks/knows likes him. He's a gym rat. And he loves getting attention. However, according to my Pisces friend with Cancer rising (a girl) she says he's just kinda weird and he's actually a big softie. To me, it sounds like a case of projection.

However, is it pretty normal that Aquarius' have THIS big of egos?

I'm kinda bummed out (very very kinda though) because I usually get along with very well with Aquarius' but I find this one hard to approach for some reason. You'd think he'd be easy to approach if he loves attention but he isn't for me. I wonder if it's the Cap...

Leo rising maybe?

I wondered that, but even if he had Leo rising I think I would sense that warmth intuitively and gravitate towards it without hesitation.

Part of me wonders if I'm picking up his own inner self and his guard (if he's got Capricorn in there, there's bound to be a "guarded" nature - right?) as my own, but there's something irritating and fascinating about him at the same time. Oddest thing I've ever felt without even liking someone emotionally.

Hannarama - your Venus/Mercury in Aries are very different to his Venus/Mercury in Capricorn. Are they square by aspect?
Maybe you simply don't get each other.
People put on a show sometimes. It doesn't mean they are exactly like that. Maybe Pisces girl got to know him on a deeper level. What's her Mercury?

OH! I noticed something else. Does he lack fire in his chart?

Betty Boop - Yeah, the Pisces girl would definitely have a shot at getting to know him! I'm not jealous she did or anything, I just can't fathom him being a softie. She has Moon in Libra, and VEnus in Aquarius with Mars in Taurus. Seeing that it was totally understandable how they're friends.

And according to the noon chart, yeah he does lack fire. But maybe he has a fire sign rising?

I was thinking that he may have an Aries rising as opposed to a Leo? I don't know that many leos or any male leo. I have a female friend who is a leo and she is confident but not boastful. I think that's how Leo strikes me whereas Aries are into boastfulness, show off even especially in terms of their success with the sexes.

When people lack an element sometimes they overcompensate.. but it can seem a bit 'false'.. kind of like an actor trying to play the part of being a fire sign - when he actually doesn't 'get' the inner-workings of the fire element.

He is probably also fascinated by you, since you are a triple Aries - which is cardinal fire.. so you seem *extra* fiery from his perspective.
The thing is - you might be *too* much for him. Different people react differently to this kind of thing. Personally, I lack air - but I really like air sign people. It's true that being around them, I often end up out of my comfort zone in some way - but I don't mind. I feel like it is a good thing.
However, I know others who are not so 'open' to their missing element. I've known air sign people who lack fire and they seem very apprehensive about making fire-sign friends. Sagittarius seems to be the only 'likable' one. Maybe it's because Sagittarius-fire is a more 'laid back' kind of fire... and it's easier for them - whereas Aries and Leo (exalted/dignified) are more intense.

He may not necessarily be a Leo Rising. I've read an interesting theory -- and many people have proven it to be true, just through my observations -- that people's 'shadow side' can be sort of a manifestation of their opposite sign's negative traits. After all, opposite signs are really just different sides of the same coin; different expressions of the same theme.

The Leo/Aquarius polarity is about your place in the crowd. Both signs tend to think of themselves as unique: with Leo, it's about being seen as special and with Aquarius, it's about being eccentric. But, Leos can be very quirky in an Aquarian-like manner. Aquarians can also be egocentric and self-important in the way you'd expect Leos to be.

This, of course, also depends on different aspects/placements in their charts. But, I think it's a pretty solid theory, nonetheless.

I don't know... *hmmm.

He looks like an average version of Nick Lachey and Mark Wahlberg's love child. Mark Wahlberg has Cancer rising... ironically enough the Pisces I mentioned earlier has Cancer rising. If he (the LP officer) does have Cancer rising then it's another reason they'd get along easier than others.

I think Mintgirl has Aries rising, and from our exchanges on here I think I'd have no problem talking to her or approaching her. Granted, she's a girl and not a buffed out security guard, but still. There's an Aries guy who manages the front at work and him and I totally got each other right away. The vibe was easy. This guy's vibe is.... not. Hmm. Maybe he's actually fearful underneath what I've heard about him and I can sense that but never had a chance to put my finger on it. P.S. Another thing about Leo rising is they would have the need (maybe) to be liked by or at least on good terms with everyone. Leo anything hates being disliked in any way, imo.

I'm still thinking it's his Venus in Capricorn that I can sniff when he's around. I have a love/hate relationship with Capricorn anything. I always see them as the stubborn old mule who looks down on any sort of sense of humor BUT ... only because they themselves wish they could be like that. Then you have the queen of pranking come along (me; Gem ASC, Aries) and try to lighten them up but they won't budge, instead choosing to remain superior. It's a vicious cycle for both parties.

I agree, but I thought I'd be able to sense fake. I don't sense that on him unless he's just well-practiced, lol.
He's a pot stirrer, for one. Or I should say "seems" like one since I'm basing it off what I've heard, and one direct example. I've never tried getting his attention, ever. I go out of my way to avoid him. However I believe we're all energetically connected, thus if I'm fascinated by him then maybe on some level he finds me mysterious as well. It's just that he doesn't know me, and I don't think the Capricorn in him lets him get ruffled easily or even put any energy into something like being fascinated by a stranger. That's just opinion though.

so then, going back to basics..

Basic astrology
Now basically your sun sign is your 'core beliefs, values, ego' and Asc is your physical body, mode of expression and mask and persona that we all wear and hide behind, but definitely not what's going on underneath. What's going on underneath is your Sun sign. Moon sign, house placements and aspects describe your emotional and intuitive responses, also describes your view of your mother, as saturn describes your father by sign and house position.

So, think of a glass milk bottle the bottle is your Asc and your sun the milk, but the milk still has to 'come out' through the glass neck of the milk bottle....

Now aspects within a natal chart represent 'facets' of our personality, because we are all multifaceted beings. What these do is 'break down and compartmentalise' these facets into smaller bite size chunks. This does take quite a lot of self analysis and objectivity to 'see yourself' and why you do certain things and behave in certain ways. Actually it can be quite good therapy...

Remember back to your school days an opposition is 180', square 90', trine 120', and sextile 60' Now challenged aspects are conj (depending on the planets, cos some like each other and some really don't) squares and oppositions. Easy aspects are conj (if the planets get along) eg: Jupiter conj Moon, sextile and trine. Quincunx is inbetween (depending on the planets) causes health strains and unresolved or hard to balance planets/energies.

so perhaps you friend, made more of an effort to get past the Asc and got to know him on a more deeper level than just the suerpficial Asc sign...

Without SEEing a chart *anyone* as you put it can be a 'douchbag' it's hardly fair lumping all aquarius sun signs in this category. I would have hoped by now the you might realised you are NOT the sum total of your sun sign....

Taurus moon is Exalted like your moon. I suggest you study a poss syn bi wheel,just use a 12noon or 6am chart and disregard Asc and moon aspects..

Hi SaggiMC,

Can you please show me where I lumped all Aquarius suns into being douchebags? I missed that part, thanks.

This is actually true for me as well, even though I'm an earth sign with no fire. I just feel more comfortable around Saggitarius. Also he seems to have Sun square Moon&Mars which can be pretty tough to handle.

He is the most open douchebag I've ever met.

Problem YOU have seen his chart, WE haven't so we are all at a disadvantage, aren't we?

And as you recall, my post title is "I've never met an Aquarius like this."

That's not lumping all Aquarius' into a stereotype. Is this why you were banned from AW?
