Oops, my bad. Yes Moon sextile Saturn and squares Sun. The orb is too wide though. Sorry, had a dreadful night and I'm tired. Venus in 9th house. I personally love this placement. Exotic tastes in men. Mercury in Cappy is very reserved. Quite understandable. IP: Logged |

Actually, that doesn't surprise me. I know a ton of Aquas, in a relationship or married to Leos and Cancers.The problem I have with the rest of the chart is that I don't really "feel" those influences in me or other ppl and if I do they play only a small, secondary role to my Sun. That's what I've observed over the years with others too. My friend can be fiery and rash due to her Aries Moon but she stays true to her sensitive Pisces Sun. My Taurus friend can be very extroverted and friendly with her Leo Rising but she's all about beauty in her inner world and surroundings... The Sun overpowers everything, IMO.
I don't think it does. For instance, descriptions of "Aquas in Love" or whatever never resonate with me. The way I act in relationships have more to do with the condition of my 7th house and Venus placements (also Moon). IP: Logged |

I've noticed that their opinions tend towards the conservative.

Almost everything Linda wrote about Sag Suns resonates with me. Not so much true for my Moon or Asc. So, again, this is one of those agree to disagree things. IP: Logged |

Do you have any other personals in Aqua or is your sun a singleton, just out of curiousity? Also where is your moon sign?

I've never met a self-hating Aquarius before, I find it quite fascinating LOL.

I love how a half-assed initial post spirals into a 4 page discussion but when I post something I think is important and I really want to get some responses, it always bombs.How's that for irony? LOL. Or maybe people just like it when you're wrong.

I thought I was straightforward. I've never personally met an Aqua anywhere online until today who was so eager to disown their Aquarian-ness. So in other words, I've never met a self-hating Aqua before. Most Aquas if anything are a little too proud of themselves for being born Aquas LOL. I'm a little curious as to what's driving it.

I think it's an interesting observation. You may be onto something there. The problem for me is that the only couples I know who are not sun sign compatible both involve a Capricorn; one's a Gem/Cappy couple; the other a Leo/Cappy couple. So I can't say for certain whether they are atypical representations of their sign. The latter couple has had zero things to overcome though; just inherently compatible from day 1.

I believe that any sign pairing can work.It's not astrology that makes or breaks a couple. As I've said many times, we're given materials in life. What we do with them is up to us. A couple with a lot of squares CAN choose love, understanding, patience, communication, and compromise. A couple with a lot of trines can choose complacency, boredom, and apathy. Life is 50% fate/things beyond our control, and 50% things that we CAN control/how we respond to things that we can't control. So, a couple that fails can't blame astrology or God or anything.

Regardes and I have too many similarities on a sexual level........ for Sun Signs to be *that* prevalent.I have to give this ^ example because it stares me in the face. Our Suns and Moons are opposite.
Venus & Mars are very similar! We both have Venus/Pluto, and Mars/Neptune conj Cappy. It often seems like we choose to take very similar actions... or choose -not- to take particular actions... but we seem to be doing it for different reasons. We also identify as asexual (or in my case demisexual ) and generally lack a desire to go there.
The similarity is pretty striking. Our Sun Signs would suuuure, not tell you this. IP: Logged |

Don't mean to derail this thread, but I'm curious (since it's come up in the convo between Yin and Rosalind)-is there any other way to do birth time rectification other than using personal events in one's life?Hi Rosalind  . I wonder if you could explain how you figured out Yin's Asc? I would very much like to know. Thanks so much. IP: Logged |

What? I love being an Aquarius. And it's pretty obvious that I am one, HOWEVER, the way I act in relationships (which, astrologically, is ruled by your Venus and DSC placements, not your Sun sign anyway) is not very Aquarian. Moon in Libra (LOOOOOOVE being with my partner 24/7), Venus in Pisces (I'm a huge romantic) square Saturn (need for stability and security in partnerships) and Uranus (this is actually pretty Aquarian for obvious reasons but it's tempered by Saturn... basically once a relationship ends I'm quick to jump into a new one). Venus is also in the 10th so I'm big on making things official. Dumbing down astrology to just sun signs is a noob mistake imo. Aqua is the second strongest sign in my chart after Sagittarius, anyway. IP: Logged |

I have completely different placements but that actually all sounds quite a bit like me. I would just amend the "loves to be with my partner 24/7" to add "also needs the occasional night out with friends or to hang out with family with no hassle." I have Venus in Aqua so this could be the reason but it's important to me that my partner be my best friend. My boyfriend feels the same (he has Venus in the 11th so that could be it). The problem for me is that there is too much consistency in my chart to be able to extract one aspect from another. So in a sense you are fortunate to be able to feel all your individual aspects clearly and distinctively. IP: Logged |

I'm sure there are different astrological reasons for it, but yeah, that all sounds basically exactly like me.I don't know how my Aqua friends are in relationships though because when we get together we joke around too much or make commentary about general things to get into the particulars of how we are in relationships. I know my Aqua best friend is quick to jump into new relationships as well, always does long-term and seems to draw in Aries men. IP: Logged |

Anyway, it's all personal experience.My good friend is an Aries with a chart that is basically all water. But we relate on a purely sun-sign level. I have this thing with Aries men where we argue about politics (they tend to hold conservative opinions to my ultraliberal) and the conversations get heated, but in all but one situation, it simmers down, we come to a profound intellectual understanding and find some middle ground, and then it's all love and they become some of my dearest friends . (In the one situation we had a huge blowup over politics and stopped talking to each other, got a little TOO heated). I know it could be something synastric in my chart that causes me to relate to Aries men in this way but when I did my Aries friend's chart and found that he was water dominant I was honestly surprised, I truly thought he was a typical Aries.

amowls - I get what you mean.. Every planet has its own playground. Most astrologers see it as a whole chart thing!
It differs from person to person.. When I read the description of my Sun Sign - about 60% of the things said apply to me.
But when they start going into specific areas like romance and sex - everything they say is way off. Because that is Venus/Mars territory. And since my Venus/Mars are so different to my Sun, there's no connection. IP: Logged |

Aquacheeka - You can notice different sides to a person depending on your relationship with them. As a friend maybe his Aries-ness was more obvious to you.
As a lover - his Venus/Mars would be more obvious.
When he is upset or in a bad mood.. then you might see his Moon. It's easier to tell if you compare people who have the same Sun Sign but different placements.
For example if you contrast say Marlon Brando's personality (as much as you can tell on screen) with Jon Cryer's (from Two and a Half men) IP: Logged |

had the squares, leo/ aqua. not really as hard as one might think. only broke up because of having to move away. not really irreconcilable differences. never had the opposition but i like scorpios in theory. inconjunct libra/sag. depends on the libra/ depends on the sag. libra with lotsa scorpio. love em! same thing with scorp dominant sags and gemini mars oppositions. matches so much with mine and the mars falls in h8, sun in h2. that's what i can remember sorry not so good with synastry details. i'm not there yet..
