They place so much value on words and truth and tell everyone to 'speak the truth' 'be honest' 'mean what you say'. They are so quick to condemn 'liars'.
Guess what? No one is honest 100% of the time. People are fake and they lie and that is the way our society is. If you catch someone in an honest moment when you first meet them, that doesn't make them an honest person. Likewise if you catch someone in a lie, it doesn't mean they are necessarily untrustworthy. Its ridiculous that they rely so heavily on a persons words as a means to judge them.
They don't realize that talk is cheap and actions speak way louder than words ever could. Words mean nothing. IP: Logged |

ive got sun merc kinda saturn and ascendent in aquarius (saturn moved into aquarius 1 hour after i was born) i know that no one is perfect, in fact ive given up hope on myself, i know that the world is an amazing beautiful place, but to have the will to better myself is not there. is it just me depressed, a minority of the population, or is everyone depressed? i dont know. words do not mean much. you can give the most divine advice such as "you should do good acts on the world, you should never sin" but to practice it is the only thing the really matters. i dont judge anyone because everything happens for a reason. we are all just a part of the universe.

I understand your sentiment with Aquarians and their priority on the value on words, however more then not Aquarians will tell you that actions speak louder then words. I'm not an Aquarius, although my boyfriend and bestfriend are Aquarians; and the best way my boyfriend expresses himself is either with his actions or when he uses his words it's usually in a joke or a limerick.

Cap-dominant Aquarius checking in- not always true. What is important to understand is that aspects influence behavior- not simply sun signs.I judge people way more on their actions- words do not mean much to me as words don't always stand alone. For example, the really immature response above- not going to judge them on it. Rather see their actions in person before making a conclusion. IP: Logged |

My dad, a Sag, taught me SO much by action and not words. It makes me tear up. He was known for not saying, "I love you" and he didn't say it. It very clearly showed in his look, his actions, and his life that he had an abundance of love. Words are not always necessary. It's nice to have both word and action but I'll take action before word. IP: Logged |

I believe very much in honesty and integrity but it doesn't have to be spoken always.
Words can't always be trusted.
Actions also but more than words... It takes more effort. It's weird... I'm not the best communicator, especially online.
find myself a bit like Aquas, but I don't like them most of the time. LOL IP: Logged |

This sounds more like a description of Scorpio Moons, have you ever lied to one or not even lied exactly just sorta change the wording of something slightly to get your point across better? These people will EXPLODE on you about how unauthentic you are and how much of a liar you are and how you are lying to them and yourself and hurting their feelings by doing so. I'm Aqua Moon and so are most of my friends, that or Aqua Sun, I haven't really seen anything of that behavior with them. Most people I know with Aqua placements are quite sassy and quick with their tongue. IP: Logged |

I disagree.
My words mean something and I'll definitely take the responsibility if my actions end up contradicting my words - which they seldom do.
And actions speak louder than words if you get close to people enough that their actions would affect you. Most aquarians don't, so the words would be the most important.
Btw words are not just contents. They have a context, an intonation, innuendoes, references (implicit and explicit). There is also much meaning in the things people leave out of their speech.
There's a whole world in a sentence, really. Words can mean nothing to you, but that's entirely personal. IP: Logged |

Yes , actions are very important because they back up the words you speak. If you talk the talk people are going to want you to walk the walk too, thats a fact. Actions and words are tied together, I don't know why people talk about them as if they are separate entities, because they aren't. IP: Logged |

I have an Aquarius Stellium. And yes, we do put a lot of value on words, but no less than we do on actions. And yes, we don't like it when people lie, but who likes dishonesty? Just about no one. Have I lied before? Oh ya, because, as you said, everyone tells a lie every now and then, and sometimes it's better to lie than tell the truth. Not all Aquarians are so crazy about words so that they'd ignore actions. In fact, most Aquarians care far more for actions than words. What we value is integrity. We're idealists who wish the world was perfect and full of all people who were honest and kind to each other. But most of us realize that this is impossible.And perhaps we might judge someone for lying. Would you not? First impressions leave a mark on just about everyone. It's human to judge people based on whether or not they appear to be moral. That said, we are an Air sign, and as such, we like to see both sides of a situation and would actually want to hear the reasoning of the person who lied. If their reasoning is valid, then I would actually defend them. And if words mean nothing, if you can't trust someone based on their words, then when can you trust them based on? I have Capricorn and Virgo enough in me to make me cautious about people, but you have to at least assume people are telling the truth unless you have good reason to believe otherwise. If you didn't, then you'd just be paranoid all the time. So yes, we put a lot of meaning into words, but we put even more meaning into actions. What we want is for people to be honorable. We are crazy because we want a world where people can trust each other. Why is that a bad thing? We hate it when people lie to us. Again, do you not? But we do move on. And we keep on working towards an ideal world. If everyone had the thought process of "There is nothing we can do. People are naturally bound to be unworthy of trust and should not be expected to live morally (at least most of the time)," then we'd never get anywhere. Aquarius is a sign of progress, a sign of change. We want change for the better. And we are stubborn when it comes to that. But that doesn't mean we don't see reality. It doesn't mean that we are so narrow-minded that we won't hear someone out if they have good reasoning behind going against their word. All it means is that we like it when people are moral, and that we want to live in a society where people are moral. Also, I realize that I am using subjective terms, such as moral, good, and valid. But morality is a subjective topic, so Idk if I can help it. Lastly, people are all different. Idk how many experiences you have of judgmental Aquarians, but not all of us are so harsh when it comes to judging others (although, we are sarcastic, which sometimes comes off as mean and judgmental).

How can words mean nothing?
Just because the whole world lies, it doesn't mean you have to. It's one thing if you choose to do that. But it's called finding excuses when you choose to justify that.
