mmm..Perhaps, it wasn't the most eloquently made post, but if what you describe is the case, it makes more sense. IP: Logged |

They could talk sh*t about you/sh*t on your carpet, but how is that gonna stop you from doing what you want? Which may or may not include somehow saving them. The dog could be starving and eat your food even if it hates you, and you dislike it because it slobbers and is out of control and lives for the moment. Some humans are like that too.
Well, you don't make much sense to me, nor did you make sense to Carl, so I thought I would try and decipher your meaning. Your explanation of the dog analogy here, if possible, makes even less sense than the original comment I was trying to make sense of. The fact that I never started a thread about leadership is just icing on the cake. IP: Logged |

There was a thread about which sign would make the most effective leader. I can't recall exactly who the OP was. I regret that you and "carl" can't follow a simple analogy. IP: Logged |

I'm a cancer sun, so I pride myself on my ability to read people, haha. I've always felt that air signs are very sweet people who want harmony above all and are sentimental dreamers as well as idealists. This shows why they usually are such humanitarians. I also think their perceived "coldness" is actually just shyness, and I don't see it as cold at all. They are very curious people, and most of all they just want to get others to see the joy in life. That's why they're so "airy" and flightly and "superficial." They are just trying to remind people of the small things in life that so many of us ignore such as fashion sense and interior design, personal style, being adorable, and being witty and cute. Haha. They remind people of the "light" thinhs in life that most ppl forget about. Anywho'z, they hate sappiness, or looking only at the negative bc they're always about celebrating the joy in life, but that doesnt mean they arent absolutely very very sentimental people beneath that mask of nonchalance and just bc they dont like to wallow in misery like other signs doesnt mean they arent romantics, are often insecure and shy despite their spunky exterior, and need lots of emotiomal stability/strength bc they are so unstable themselves. What I've found is...matching with the fact that they hate anyone who spends their life complaining/looking at te nwgative etc , they hate to admit their own sentimentality and mushiness and even insecurity bc they feel that's thinking of the negative.
Lol. <3 I love air signs. I understand them really well, I think. I only wish they understood me a little better. :/
As far as air signs always being typecast as the intellectuals. Well, I think being rational is just their way to get people to be less pessimistic about things. Also, because of their curiousity, being intellectual is just another way they try to show others the joy/beauty in life. I do feel that they take a lot of interest in human motives and in people's psychology. I just think they can't understand at all why someone would be really morose, because they themselves would always want to be optimistic. They also consider it irrational, and always aim for rational answers to everything. It's part of their curiosity. They are like teenagers being awed by life or something I guess. Yet, they are too shy to show passion like fire signs. Honestly, i think they are way more concerned with making others happy than making themselves happy, which fire signs are kind of opposite to that. So that's why they stifle their passion---too self-conscious. IP: Logged |

RunAroundScreaming: fantastic post; articulated well! I am an Aqua Sun , and although i don't totally resonate with your description (heavy Cap; Scorp), I think it's a great, easy to digest description of individuals with predominant air. IP: Logged |

I wouldn't say I'm very superficial, I can just find meaning in the small things. My chart is mostly air and fire (big 3 are all in air). I do have a Pisces Venus though so that gives me a lot of perception, which I feel some Aquas tend to lack.As an Aqua dating another Aqua, lemme just say that we can be difficult. We like alone time to recharge. For instance, my boyfriend last night was like "I'm really busy and I need to adjust to being in a relationship so let's not see each other for 2 days." A lot of people don't get that. Everything's fine, of course, but other people might take it as sign that the relationship sucks. IP: Logged |

Sand - the Aqua I'm curious about has that! Would one water sign (especially in a personal planet) make it more noticeable in someone's personality? The Aqua in question has... Moon in Taurus
Mercury in Capricorn
Venus in Capricorn
Mars in Scorpio He's said to be shy and I've witnessed him being VERY sentimental and emotional for a dude. He definitely cherishes his friends and family. IP: Logged |

I'll admit, I'm mostly superficial. I don't take things as seriously as I should and I approach life like it's one big joke for the most part. When people take themselves too seriously (or even when a movie takes itself too seriously, I rolled my eyes at the last Batman remake because I was like, "...they DO realize he's a comic book character, right?"), I find it hilarious. Maybe inappropriately hilarious. My boyfriend and I have been known to laugh at suicidal people and songs. We just think they need to lighten the f**k up. So perhaps we are not the two most sensitive people around. The one exception is when I feel that people's/women's rights are being violated. Then all of a sudden I can't stfu. To me, that is very serious.I'm pretty self-conscious in public. Someone said Aquas can talk about controversial topics in public, that's pretty mortifying, to me. But that could be a manifestation of my Leo rising. The second most prominent sign in my chart is supposed to be Libra. IP: Logged |

I feel...exposed....lol
Everything you've said hits perfectly home with me, except that I'm a little morbid and fascinated with death (Scorpio in 8th), and I'm a complete sap (Pisces venus). I can only speak for myself but yes I'm not cold I'm shy, and yes of course I want people to find the joy in life. People always seem so preoccupied with the fact that their boyfriend replied with a vague text that they fail to notice the smell of rain, or how that person let the old woman on the bus first, that kind of thing. It's weird to me to fixate on shoes and celebrities because, in the course of a lifetime, what does it really matter? Awed by life is a good way to put it if you ask me. Curious about the world, and therefore awed and in love with it. "Yet, they are too shy to show passion like fire signs. Honestly, i think they are way more concerned with making others happy than making themselves happy" BINGO!

You once started a thread about how you can't stand air signs because they have no feelings or something to that effect.[/B][/QUOTE]It might be somewhat of a hard concept to understand, but even though I understand how/why air signs are the way they are, doesn't mean they don't have the capability to hurt me. The fact that they don't let pessimistic thoughts affect them that much because their purpose in life is to "show people the joy in the world" means that they are not going to understand someone very well who clings to most people and things, takes everything to heart, and who wallows in insecurity often and has many walls up. Someone like me. Yes, the way air signs are makes it difficult for them to understand people's deeper feelings sometimes. And that is very frustrating for me. But it's more disappointing than anything. It doesn't mean I don't understand where they're coming from. But I deeply sympathize with how much air signs are misunderstood as being "cold" and I greatly admire their dedication to making other people smile. Trust me when I say I love air signs.

There's a difference between pure, unadulterated joy, and levity. It's mostly semantics but I get what she means. Air signs are too lighthearted to be as enthusiastic about life as fire signs are. They're more inclined to sit back and laugh at or discuss the world, while fire wants to actively participate in it.IP: Logged |

Well we haven't had any dictators so our time was due for a terrorist  http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/The-Relationship-Between-Serial-Killer-s-Criminal-Behavior-And-Their-Zodiac-Signs/561115[/URL] - air signs are the least violent of the four elements, which is why they are represented by man and not beast.

No, fire signs arent here to show people the joy in the world. They're here to show people the beauty of god's creation of the human being, of celebrating yourself and your qualities, your beauty, and your confidence. The beauty of being yourself! Air signs are other people oriented while Fire signs are self oriented, they burn bright because they want to be admired and praised for qualities they believe are personal to Them, for qualities only they possess. Whereas air signs celebrate the joy in life in a non-personal way that doesnt relate back to themselves or their ego. Their sense of humor doesnt crave admiration because...they just want to make the other person happy, they dont want to be worshipped. Unlike fire signs, who do. lol.

I think she feels unfulfilled in her life so she is rude on these forums as a form of passive aggressiveness. The more attention you give her, the more she'll thrive off of it. IP: Logged | |
